How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water regularly and copiously for a few weeks after planting. After, you will have to worry about watering only if your wolfberry is in pot: outside of these conditions, it will manage itself, and support better dry ground than wet ground
Pruning
Cut the wolfberry for it to produce many fruits. Why ? Because otherwise it will form a single trunk with a few long branches. In winter - especially the early years - trim to limit the height of your shrub. Cut the terminal branches around half their length, just above a bud that is facing out.
Container
If you keep your chinese boxthorn potted, plan a potting every 2 to 3 years in a simple potting soil and a slightly larger pot. Unwind the root hair if you can, this will help him settle into its new container.
