Care & maintenance

Requires acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5); amend with peat moss or sulfur if needed. Mulch heavily to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune annually in late winter to remove old, weak, or crossing branches to encourage new growth and better fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with an acid-loving plant fertilizer.
