Growing
Plant goumi in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. The plant tolerates various soil types but prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. Regular watering during the establishment phase is important; afterwards, the plant is drought-resistant. Propagation is best done by layering or seeds. A light pruning after fruiting promotes growth and shape.
