Plant Profile: How to grow, pick and preserve capers

[@Genesaysok]

I had no idea that capers are unopened flower buds. Great information, thank you for making the video

My caper bush died but a volunteer seed sprouted under my shed and has been prosperous for 3 years now with minimal maintenance

To those of you whom want to cultivate it. The first two years, it needs water, at least once a week. Give it water if the soil is almost fully dry for 2 days. Keep it in a pot, with an mechanism where excess water can flow out. It needs a lot of sunlight and dry heat. Best countries would be those that have a hot, dry summer, with temperatures between 25 and 35°C, temperatures around 20-25°C and a bit of rain in autumn, and a mild winter with medium rain, approximatly every 4th or 5th day. It also needs a lot of fresh air. Good wind with around 12-20 km/h would be optimal. As for the substrate/soil, the optimum would be a mineral rich vulcanic soil. Once the 2 years are gone, you can put it out of the pot, and plant it somewhere where it gets what I wrote above. From that point on, the plant is self sufficient.

Thank you very much for this

Thanks for that - these things grow all over the place where I live in Andalusia and I wondered what people did with them. The plants here are enormous - up to about ten feet across.

Damn you could start a business

[@2222isabella]

I had them in the garden and I prepared them for years. They were delicious.

I don’t know what I would do without capers in my life. Especially with my garlic sensitivity.

[@kimmcvitty3580]

A Dutch lady, living in Turkey, prepares her capers by soaking in water in a plastic bottle with the lid on for about 5 days. Each day she releases the top and gas comes out. After about 5 days no more has is produced , then she drains them and covers in apple vinegar. I assume she changes the water in the bottle every day while curing them.

[@leannewyker3637]

I adore capers. Got some seeds online from Australian seed but no luck propagating them yet. I wish I could find someone who sells the bush in perth. Tasty and what a pretty plant.

[@chrisf.50]

Also, the caper leaves are great in salads.

[@maragrace820]

capers have the highest content of quercetin. ..... no need for supplements, just eat the right foods

[@TheGrmany69]

There is way better information about it in Italian, and no, the plant is highly prolific, it must be the conditions where he is growing those plants.

[@TheGrmany69]

@LagiNaLangAko23 Absolutely, the Mediterranean climate is quite hot and dry in summer, the only thing would be that it will not tolerate wet soil, think in rosemary.

[@TheGrmany69]

@LagiNaLangAko23 you need well drained soil, think sand.
