Learn About Your New Prunus snofozam - Showy Snow Gooseberry

Prunus snofozam, commonly called Showy Snow Gooseberry, looks excellent when used as a hedge or screen, providing year-round structure with its dense growth habit. This deciduous shrub grows 6–8 feet tall and offers eye-catching white flowers in early spring, creating a fresh, vibrant display. Its edible blue fruit ripens in late summer, attracting birds and adding ecological value to your garden.

The foliage turns a beautiful yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Prunus snofozam thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soils, including clay. For a layered garden effect, it pairs well when underplanted with low-growing groundcovers or shade-tolerant perennials, enhancing both visual appeal and habitat diversity.

Digging the Hole: Twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.

Planting: Position the tree so the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill with native soil and water deeply.

Mulching: Apply a 5–7cm mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Watering: Regular watering during establishment, then reduce frequency.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Your Prunus snofozam
