Care:

  • Feed twice a year with a slow release fertilizer. Fertilize in early spring before growth starts and late fall after the leaves have fallen and the ground isn't yet frozen. (5 minutes of work)
  • Prune in late winter to remove crossing branches and promote good airflow to encourage fruiting. (5-10 minutes of work) 
  • Provide well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system.
  • Requires at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
