Growing & Maintenance Tips
Grows best in a well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Also performs well in swampy or wooded locations or under shade trees in a garden setting. It can be cut to 12" above the base each winter to encourage more compact growth, flowers and fruit. It can also be left to mature naturally into a tall woody shrub. The shrub may temporarily defoliate and lose developing fruit during periods of prolonged summer drought.  Best flowering and fruiting occurs in full sun.
