How to care for your Rubus Golden Vale

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or compacted, consider amending it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility.
  • Watering: During the growing season, it needs regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Aim to water deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature.
  • Fertiliser: Benefits from regular applications of balanced fertiliser throughout the growing season. You can use a granular or liquid fertiliser, applying it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Pruning: It can be pruned in late Winter or early Spring to maintain its shape and size. Cut back any dead or damaged wood, and selectively prune to encourage new growth and improve air circulation.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your Rubus Golden Vale plant stays healthy and vibrant for years to come. With its brilliant foliage it is sure to become a standout feature in your garden or outdoor space.
