Thanks for the ping! Yes I am trialing a bunch and so far they seem to be fine and I’m seeing some new shoot growth on most if not all!
Here are the varieties I’m trying:
I ended up planting them all in 10gal containers with Gary’s Top Pot with a layer of wood ash per the recco on the Honeyberry thread and I mixed in some chicken compost on the top and then mulched them with some dried pea stalks I had saved as mulch. Once those decompose, I’ll replace with hay. I had 4 plants that were really tiny so I put them 2 to a 10 gal pot with the plan to separate and repot them this winter.
Since I got them bare root, and they had already received the right amount of chill but maybe were thrown off by my weirder weather plus the fact that it took me quite long to pot them up, I didn’t get a lot of honeyberries but my Keiko still set about 20 berries and I’ve been trying one or two every few days. Still a bit sour. Will try again in a few days.
I have them in a narrow corridor on the North East side of the house where they get some morning Sun but are mostly shaded otherwise by the walls.
Our house basically faces East with a slight angle.
