Maintenance & Watering

Watering Requirements	Water adequately to ensure the soil is kept moist (not dry or muddy). No need for irrigation in winter.
Maintenance	Ideally Quicksilver should be trimmed in late summer after flowering if you are forming a hedge. Simply trim out or cut back any diseased, longer or unruly shoots to ensure you get a nice dense hedge. Pruning in late summer will strip out the short spurs which bear fruit. If you wish to harvest the fruit or leave for the wildlife, then pruning should be conducted in mid-spring through April and May.
