Follow these simple steps to grow at home:

• Choose fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil enriched with organic compost. Select a sunny location with good drainage.
• Sow seeds directly in the field at a depth of 2–3 cm, maintaining a spacing of 3–4 meters between plants for proper tree development.
• Water immediately after sowing and provide regular irrigation during early growth. Once established, the plants become moderately drought tolerant.
• Apply organic manure and balanced fertilizers periodically to encourage vigorous growth and abundant pod production.
• Remove weeds during the initial growth stage and prune branches when necessary to promote better branching and increased pod yield.
• Harvest tender drumstick pods and edible flower buds approximately 180–240 days after sowing. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.
