1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with full sun, well-drained soil, and plenty of room for the trailing canes to spread. Set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its container, then add a trellis or other sturdy support. Position trellis wires approximately 5 feet above the ground, with support posts spaced 10 feet apart for each plant.

2. Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while roots establish. Once established, provide about 1–2 inches of water weekly, especially during flowering and fruit development. Avoid consistently soggy soil.

3. Pruning: After harvest, remove canes that produced fruit, known as second-year floricanes, by cutting them at ground level. Tie healthy new canes, called first-year primocanes, to their support, as these will produce the next crop. Remove weak, damaged, or crowded growth to improve airflow.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer formulated for berries in early spring as new growth begins. Follow label rates or recommendations from a soil test, and avoid overfertilizing, which can encourage excessive leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.
