Care Guide

• Plant in well-draining, acidic soil in early spring or late fall.
• Set plants at the same depth they were growing in the nursery.
• Keep soil consistently moist, providing approximately 1–2 inches of water per week.
• Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses when practical.
• Apply an acidic, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and avoid over-fertilizing.
• Prune during winter dormancy to remove dead or weak canes and maintain shape.
• Apply 2–4 inches of acidic mulch for moisture retention and weed control.
• Inspect regularly for pests and diseases and maintain clean growing areas.
