Why Homeowners Love It

• Harvests fruit earlier in the season than most other varieties
• Self-fertile, so a single plant produces abundant berries without cross-pollination
• Tolerates both cool winters and hot summers with minimal care
• Naturally resistant to diseases and requires simple pruning schedules

Planting & Care

Choose a location with good drainage and amend the soil with peat moss before planting; set the crown 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Water regularly during the growing season, increasing frequency in hot weather. Feed with acid-forming fertilizers formulated for acid-loving plants like azaleas each spring. Prune only in winter to remove dead wood and maintain shape, cutting stems back by about half at planting time. Container gardeners should use quality compost and follow the same feeding schedule as in-ground plantings.
