Well-drained loamy soil; tolerant of poor soils but prefers moderate fertility.
Water regularly during active growth (spring-summer). Reduce significantly in winter to prevent root rot during dormancy.
Full sun required for maximum berry production. Tolerates partial shade indoors during summer dormancy preparation.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid excess nitrogen which reduces berry yield.
Prune immediately after flowering or in late winter. Berries form on old wood; avoid heavy pruning to maintain fruiting potential.
