Due to their large fruit size, Big Bertha usually requires staking to prevent branch and limb breakage.
Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Big Bertha is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in potting mix, loamy and silty soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Big Bertha likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.By our calculations, you should look at sowing Big Bertha about 32 days before your last frost date.
