Sea Berry Care

Select a sunny location with good drainage to plant kiwis. Water regularly and deeply for the first year, especially during dry periods. Fertilize with an all purpose fertilizer before the plant comes out of dormancy in the spring. Adding mulch annually to reduces weeds and preserves moisture. If needed, use an insecticidal soap during the growing season to control insect pests. Sea berries need very little pruning except to remove dead branches and control the shape as desired.
