The treatment of the plants is very simple. As the fruit 

 ripens in January, the young suckers from the roots are taken 

 off in April or May, and planted in the newly cleaned fields

 strongest of them produce fruit in the following year, seldom 

 weighing; above 3 or 4 lbs. ; but those which do not fruit the 

 second year, grow very large, and their fruit often weighs 

 from 10 to 12 lbs.
