We’re close. I’m 45 min south of Staunton in Brownsburg.
Halcyon Days cider orchard is just across the street. They have a walkthrough labyrinth that’s pretty cool.

An update on my Edible Landscaping plants I received a week and a half ago. The single Issai Kiwi died within 5 days of receiving it. It looked really bad when it arrived.
The Ichi Ki Kei Jiro persimmon looks exactly as when it arrived. There was no active growth on it when I planted it. I’d imagine it will wait until next year to get going.
The Gerardi mulberry actually sent out a new bud growth and when I looked just now it has two flowers. Surprised me.
I’ll try to let the fruit make it to maturity. I’ll bag it at some point for those two flowers.
So I’d say the Girardi is doing well. I don’t think I’d get new shoot growth if the roots weren’t doing well.

Went by there today in advance of their fall festival September 2nd. Limited parking and one lane dirt driveway should make for fun.
I was looking for figs. The LSU Purple in various sizes had leaf rust. I didnt need to bring trouble home so didn’t buy anything. Lots of root bound figs with limited new growth. Apple and grapes looked good. Hardy kiwis as well. Time was short and didn’t look around much.
Container rings on Carlos muscadines looked handy. Wish I had some.

Never thought this might be anything but just the end of summer behavior. It’s quite common here in South Louisiana for fig trees to look horrible and even drop their leaves before October. They are fine come spring.
This is my LSU Gold. Horrible location sun wise so it’s not a well shaped tree nor it is very productive.
