Care Instructions:
Plant in full sun (6+ hours) in well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-6.8). Dig a hole deep enough for roots to spread straight down. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture (1 inch/week), especially during fruit development. Mulch base to retain water and suppress weeds. Because Osage is erect, tipping canes at 4-5 feet encourages lateral branching and more fruit. Prune old fruiting canes to the ground in winter.
