This adaptable shrub works beautifully as a multi-stem bush in mixed borders, raised beds, and fruit orchards, or you can train it into a single-stem tree form with proper staking and pruning.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, then position the plant and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply 2–3 inches of mulch to retain moisture. For containers, choose a pot twice the width of the shipping container with adequate drainage holes and use quality potting soil.
