- Planting: Plant 3m (10ft) apart in rows. Grow against a fence or wall for support in well-drained but moist, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade. Ensure the root ball is moist before planting. Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root ball or pot. Mix soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil.
- Care: Water regularly until established. Fruit is produced on the previous year’s stems. Tie in the new shoots – these will flower and fruit in the second year. Cut away the older stems and replace them with new vigorous shoots. Cut back damaged shoots in late winter and apply a general fertiliser.
