Has anyone used this company out of VA?
Prices must be for seedlings as they are really cheap.
Hi Zendog,
My ‘Gerardi’ produced a handful of fruit in late summer/early fall the year it was planted. It produced a bit more fruit in year 2. I had pruned back a good amount of new growth between years 1 and 2, and i figured that accounted for the small year 2 harvest.
I counted buds on the new growth of three branches (ranging in length from 17 to 28") and came up with an average of 12.7 buds per foot. So pretty tight spacing in the new growth. But the buds are spaced out quite a bit more on…
After 3 years of denials I just realized my edible landscaping gerardi isn’t really Gerardi
I suspect it’s IE or something like that because it’s massive despite aggressive pruning.
Would love to pay anyone for legit Gerardi scion. Gonna topwork this monster in spring
Happy to pay via Venmo or Zelle
And there are probably others. Mine grew taller than me last year AFTER summer pruning it back. After comparing mine to the pictures of true gerardi, I knew it wasn’t right. Growth rate is crazy and node spacing is huge. It did have some good berries though. But very few.
