Landscaping Uses

Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily and prepare a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball. Plant in soil that drains well to moderately, backfill gently, and water thoroughly after planting. Water weekly during the growing season, checking the top 2 inches of soil for dryness before watering. Apply balanced fertilizer in late winter or early spring, then again in mid-summer to encourage robust fruit production. This self-fertile shrub requires no pollinator companion and will reward you with reliable harvests for years to come.
