@cowardly_lying I decided to post the pictures of what my honeyberries look like now under this thread instead of the Berries Unlimited thread since none of these actually came from BU.
This first picture is of an Aurora or Tundra that I propagated by simply sticking scion in my prop bed late winter 2019/2020. I am planning to plant them out within the next few weeks or so. Anyway, My prop bed is shaded by a peach tree (at least I think it’s a peach… I’m not even sure how it got where it is and it’s really late ripening… it tastes like a peach to me… but I digress…
). The important thing that I wanted to share is that it is growing in shade.
This one was planted this spring (2021) in the ground under that same tree. I didn’t want to plant it in the field until this fall.
These are planted in fruit guilds in the field, planted late spring 2019. They do not have any shade for the most part because the fruit trees that they are planted with are not mature enough to shade them yet.
Also in the field in a guild… a few look like this. The greenery you see are not honeyberry leaves. This honeyberry looks dead, but it is not and there are some newer baby leaves on it, but they are hard to see in the picture.
Finally, this one, planted last spring, is in the field, but mulched with woven black ground cover… even so there are a lot of weeds in the area shading it, but not really close to the plant.
