Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Cut back fruited canes to ground level soon after harvesting. Thin canes to prevent overcrowding

Propagation

Lift healthy suckers that appear between the rows and replant in a new spot. You can also divide large clumps when dormant

Growing

Grow in moisture-retentive, fertile soil, which is well-drained and weed free. For best results, plant in a sunny position. They will tolerate light shade, but may produce a smaller crop
