Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in autumn or early spring in a sunny spot with fertile, moisture-retentive soil. Set the bush 5–6 cm deeper than it grew in the pot to encourage new shoots.
Care. Mulch the soil with compost or rotted straw. Space bushes 1.2–1.5 m apart so the berries get good airflow.
Watering and feeding. Water at the root, especially while the berries are filling. Apply a nitrogen fertiliser or compost in spring and a potassium-phosphorus one in autumn.
Winter and pruning. The bush overwinters without cover. Prune in early spring or late autumn: cut out shoots older than 4–5 years, weak ones and those lying on the ground.
