Ecological Benefits

Maintenance Tips

  • Requires regular watering, especially in dry conditions, to support its rapid growth.
  • Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the plant.
  • Prefers fertile, humus-rich soil but is adaptable to a range of soil conditions.
  • Apply a layer of organic mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Monitor for pests like aphids and diseases such as powdery mildew, managing as necessary.
  • Flowers are self-fertile so even a single plant will produce fruit.
  • The plant's edible berries can usually be harvested for consumption sometime between mid-August and mid-September.
