Cultivation Tips

• Soil requirements: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Avoid areas where water tends to pool.
• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade. Full sun promotes the highest yields, though light afternoon shade can be beneficial in hot climates.
• Watering: Water consistently, especially during establishment and dry periods. Soil should remain moist but not waterlogged. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Pruning: Anne fruits on first-year canes. Many growers cut canes to the ground in late winter for a single, strong fall harvest.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 18–30 inches apart to allow for airflow and healthy growth.
