Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. 1. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. 2. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the roots meet the stem) is about 1-2” below the soil surface. 3. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Water regularly to keep the soil moist in the spring and summer. Apply a well balanced slow-release fertilizer in the spring. Prune in the early spring while the plant is still dormant, removing any dead or diseased branches. Typically bears fruit 1-2 years after planting.

Pests or Diseases: Highly disease resistant
