Provide very acidic, well-drained soil. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun in very hot, dry climates. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Before new growth begins in spring, prune broken and crossed branches; feed with an acidic fertilizer. Rejuvenate mature plants by removing 3 to 4 of the largest, oldest canes.
