Grow Guide

PLANT USES: Grown mainly for fruit production in the summer months. The foliage has benefits as a health herb usually by making a tea. Good cover for wildlife. WATER REQUIREMENTS: Since the plant likes good drainage the plants do not require large amounts of water. Growth for the crop is produced in late spring through the summer so if the weather is dry keep the moisture level of the plant so the canes can develop fast to the 3 to 5 foot height. Usually if there is sufficient moisture in the first inch of soil the plant will perform well.
FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS: Use non acid fertilizers. Use the medium rates recommended. Apply Nitrogen in early spring when new growth begins to break or attains 2 inches of new growth. Reapply more Nitrogen fertilizer 4 weeks later, banded in the row.
