Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Pruning time: winter.
Design Ideas
Good form for a container indoors or out. Plant in small, sunny pockets near the house, or plant several as an informal hedge. Juicy, flavorful fruit that ripens winter to spring is a welcome addition to the kitchen.
