Cultivation:

It prefers sandy clay-loam soil and subhumid, temperate climate. It can grow well in low rainfall areas.

Propogation:

Planting material is seed. It has two years dormancy. Seed germination is difficult and time consuming.Therefore vegetative propagation by stem cutting is preferred for raising saplings of C.oxyacantha. Further, vegetatively propagated plants produce better growth than that of raised from seeds.

Harvesting:

C. oxyacantha comes to bearing after 5-6 years from planting in the field. Flowering and fruiting occur during April-May and fruits ripen during JulyAugust. Fruits are harvested when it is fully ripe.
