Planting & Care Guide
Plant in well-drained soil enriched with compost. Berries establish quickly when watered regularly during the first summer.
Feed lightly in spring with a balanced organic fertiliser or pelletised manure — avoid heavy nitrogen, which pushes leaf growth at the expense of fruit.
Mulch to keep roots cool and moist, keeping mulch away from the stem or crown to prevent rot.
Prune according to habit: trailing and hybrid berries need winter tidying and support; bush types benefit from removing old canes after fruiting.
