GROWING AND CARE GUIDE

Sunlight: Choose a location with full sun for good fruit production. In particularly hot climates, some afternoon shade may help reduce heat stress.

Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid locations where water collects around the roots. A slightly acidic to neutral soil is generally suitable.

Watering: Keep the root zone evenly moist while the plant establishes. Water more often during dry or hot weather, but avoid waterlogged soil.

Planting: Choose a permanent outdoor location with enough room for the shrub to mature and adequate airflow around its branches.

Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the root zone to help conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch away from direct contact with the plant's crown or stems.

Pruning: Once established, prune as needed to remove dead or damaged branches and maintain an open shrub structure. Follow cultivar-specific pruning guidance for fruit production.

Dormancy: Dormant deciduous plants can look different from actively growing plants. Bare or leafless stems do not automatically mean the plant is dead. After planting, growth resumes when seasonal temperatures and growing conditions are suitable.
