Tipo di suolo: Predilige terreni ben drenati; cresce bene in suoli sabbiosi, limosi o argillosi con pH leggermente acido o neutro.

Frequenza di irrigazione: Essenziale annaffiare regolarmente i giovani esemplari; tollerante alla siccità una volta stabilito.

Esposizione alla luce: Cresce bene in mezz’ombra o pieno sole; la produzione di bacche è ottimale in posizioni soleggiate.

Fertilizzazione: Applicare un fertilizzante bilanciato in primavera per favorire la crescita e la produzione di bacche.

Potatura: Potare a fine inverno per modellare e rimuovere rami secchi o danneggiati; la potatura leggera favorisce una maggiore densità.
