Rooted cuttings and layers flower in six months. Flowering commences in the middle of May and extends up to August. The harvest of fruits commences from August and continues up to November. The fruits are picked when fully ripe.

The fruits for processing purpose are harvested when slightly immature. At this stage the fruit colour turns from yellow to red.

The plants are shaken to collect fruits. The fruits are then allowed to fall onto sheets spread on the ground. Harvested fruits should be processed at the earliest.
