Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistent soil moisture. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, damaged, or crossing canes. Thin out old stems to encourage new growth and fruit production.
Propagate by division of suckers in early spring or by stem cuttings taken in summer. Seed propagation is also possible but may not come true to type.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring to refresh the soil and prevent root-bound conditions. Use a larger pot with fresh potting mix.
