It’s also disease resistant and grows huge berries.Grow in zones 5-9, though they have insufficient cold hardiness for many northern regions except in tunnels.The recommended spacing is 5 ft apart.They like slightly acidic, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.Very sturdy canes; considered semi-erect because they produce some longer, new non-fruiting canes mid-summer – just cut them to 4-5 ft. when they get long (for established shrubs). This is called “tip-pruning.”Immediately after fruit harvest, remove all canes that fruited to the ground. In late winter to early spring, remove any canes damaged by winter and thin the remaining canes to 4 or 5 strong, well-spaced canes plus trim the laterals thereof. Plants generally perform best when staked.
