Description
Does best in well-drained neutral to slightly alkaline soils. At planting time, sink a 1×1″ wood stake near the plant and bundle the canes around it. Let the tips of the stems cascade down, like a fountain. Each spring, move the tied point up further along the stake so that about one-quarter of the growth is above the tie. Then cut the branch tips back by 4-6″. This encourages lateral branching, which is where most of the flowering and fruiting takes place.
