#ProPlantTips For Care

Fruiting bushes and plants do require full sun for the most blooms and therefore the most fruit! Hardy in USDA growing zones 4 through 8, these easy-care plants are best pruned right after fruiting since these bushes fruit on last year’s growth.

Plant in rich, fertile, well-drained soil for best results and use a good slow-release fertilizer for fruiting and berry bushes such as Dr. Earth Natural Wonder Fruit Tree & Berries 3 Step Fertilizer Kit! Provide a generous layer of mulch over the roots for better insulation and for moisture retention.

Provide consistent, moderate moisture throughout the growing season, keeping tabs on your moisture in planters and pots especially during summer’s heat and prevent the root ball from drying out too much in the winter.

Add Nature Hills Root Booster to your order for a time-tested formula that supports the critical root system over the entire life of your fruiting plants! Head over to our Garden Blog for some great tips and tricks for successful Edible Landscaping today!
