Well-drained loamy soil, pH 6.0-7.5, tolerant of various soil types but dislikes waterlogging
Water regularly during growing season to keep soil moist but not soggy; reduce significantly in winter dormancy
Prefers full sun for best flowering and fruiting; tolerates partial shade in hot climates
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before blooming, avoid late-season nitrogen to prevent soft growth susceptible to frost
Prune in late winter while dormant to maintain shape and remove dead wood; thin out crowded branches for air circulation
