Thrives in enriched, well draining, slightly acidic soil. After harvest, prune down older canes that have fruited all the way to the ground, leaving new canes to fruit next year. Remove all dead canes early spring. Feed with an all purpose fertilizer early spring before new growth, and again during summer.
These characteristics apply to the greater Sacramento area and nearby regions.
