Plant Care

Will this plant thrive in your climate?

Make sure you live within USDA Zones 7-9 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.

Choose a location with well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface to prevent trunk rot.

Naturally maintains a tidy pyramidal shape with minimal effort. If shaping is desired, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy shearing to preserve the berry-producing stems.

Apply a slow-release, acid-toning fertilizer (like Holly-tone) in early spring. This supports deep green foliage and encourages a healthy bloom for future berries.

Highly cold-tolerant within its zones; however, applying a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture and protect roots from extreme temperature fluctuations.
