Grower Tips: 

White spring flowers produce bright red, persistent fruit. Deer resistant. Fruit attracts birds. Fruit is not edible by humans.

Best in moist, slightly acidic soil but does tolerate a wide range of soil. Best if pruned immediately after flowering. Provide medium moisture. Established plants have some drought resistance. Deciduous shrubs. Fertilize in early spring by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for trees and shrubs. Follow the label for the recommended rate of application. Fruiting appears strong even without a pollinator in the area, but may be increased by planting near another V. dilitatum

Do not move outside
