The Java Plum tree is a fast growing tree and can be grown in full sun or semi shaded areas.They love plenty of water but don't need a lot of fertilising till they start to bear fruit so they are a very easy tree to grow and don't need a lot of maintenace as they are very tough.They will need to be pruned occasionally to keep them at a height that will make it easy to pick the fruit.
