Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
Prefers moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Avoid unamended heavy clay soils that drain poorly. More than one variety should be located nearby for best pollination and fruit production. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring and summer. Fertilize annually early April and Mid-June.
