Growing in Pakistan 🇵🇰
Atlantic Giant is a warm-season crop that thrives in Pakistani summers. For Punjab and most plain regions, sow from February–April for a summer–early autumn harvest. In cooler northern hill areas (Murree, Swat, Hunza), sow April–June. Each plant needs a minimum of 10–15 square metres of space, very fertile soil, deep watering, and plenty of organic compost. For maximum size, allow only one fruit per vine and remove competing flowers. Harvest takes 110–140 days from sowing.
