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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.

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

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

Damn you could start a business
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.

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

@LagiNaLangAko23 you need well drained soil, think sand.
