Planting & Care

Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball at the same depth as the nursery container. Amend native soil with peat moss to achieve the acidic conditions this plant requires, then position the shrub and backfill with the peat-enriched mixture. Water regularly until established, then maintain consistently moist (not waterlogged) soil with 1–2 inches weekly during the first two years. Apply acid fertilizer in early spring and every six weeks through mid-summer. Prune non-fruiting branches after harvest and any dead wood in late winter to maintain vigor and encourage abundant future crops.
