If available add 6-8" of compost, manure or top soil. 3 - Best to plant immediately upon arrival. Remove package and soak the bush in water for about an hour. Prune the canes back to about 1" above the bud union. Then spread the roots out evenly into the prepared hole. Plant at a depth whereby the bud union ( where the branches come together) will be about 1" above the soil level after back filling the hole. 4 - Best to mound soil or mulch over the bud union until the danger of frost has passed, removing it once new growth is observed. 5 - Soak soil every week until it gets established when rain fall is deficient. 6 - Fertilize with a season-long balanced fertilizer once leaves start to emerge.
