The plant yields fruit in its 2^nd-3^rd year. To set and yield fruit the plant needs a male plant in the vicinity (e.g. male 'Weiki'; at the production plantations 1 male plant is provided for 6-8 female ones). Coiled shoots twine around supports.

Place the plant in a 40 x 40 x 40 cm hole covered at the bottom with a 10 cm of well-rotten manure or compost, 1 cm deeper than it was before. Fill in the hole with fertile soil. Keep at least 30 cm distance from walls or other plants, 2-4 m apart from each other. Prune hard in January-February, light pruning advisable in June. Repeat pruning in August. Cover the ground around the plant with bark mulch. From the second year after planting fertilize the soil starting in April. Water abundantly in vegetative season.
