Planting & Care

1. Planting: When selecting a site to plant, ensure the area has full sun and drains well.

Dig a hole with the shovel that is about twice the size of the root ball of the bush. Make sure the hole is the same depth as the container it comes in. When planting more than one bush, dig holes that are at least five feet apart in rows that are 10 feet apart.

2. Watering: Your bushes will need to be watered regularly to make certain that the root system becomes well established. The soil surrounding your tree should be moist but never saturated. Light green leaves can be a sign of overwatering, while drooping leaves can be a sign of both over or under-watering.

3. Fertilizing: You do not need to fertilize at the time of planting. Fertilize the bush twice a year, once in the spring and once after harvest.

4. Pruning: Lower limbs can be thinned out to keep the fruit from touching the soil, and excessively vigorous upright shoots can be thinned out several feet from the ground to keep the center of the bush open and to keep the bearing surface within reach.
