It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. This is a female variety of the species which requires a male selection of the same species growing nearby in order to set fruit.This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front, and is suitable for planting under power lines.
