Planting & Care

Plant in early spring (or late winter in warmer regions) in a hole twice the width of the root ball. Amend your soil with compost or aged manure one week before planting. Space plants 3 feet apart in rows 8 feet apart, and install a support structure early to guide growth without disturbing mature canes. Water consistently at 1 inch per week, increasing during dry spells. In fall, prune by removing weak canes and retaining 6 of the strongest green stems to encourage the best fruit production next season.
