Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, your plants are housed in 9cm pots and should be transitioned carefully to their permanent location.
- Planting: Choose a spot with well-drained, fertile soil. If your soil is heavy clay, mix in plenty of organic matter or horticultural grit.
- Watering: While drought-tolerant when mature, young plants must be kept moist during their first growing season to establish strong roots.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and fruit set.
- Pruning: Prune back in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and maintain a manageable size, as they can become vigorous spreaders.
