Your welcome. I would love to grow blueberries here. But even the farmers co-op said they can't grow in the black belt soil. So I am trying some other berries in pots.

We have some strange soil here we lost 2 duke plum trees and I have another one that is not growing or anything and I fertilize it three times a year and it is the same size as when we planted it.
We also planted some apple trees and one is growing and the other one stunted.

What part of AL are you in? I'm about 30 miles from the Florida border and mine do pretty well (they'd do better if I could keep the brambles off them)

Interesting I have some plums that have gone crazy. And then I have two Stella cherries, ones almost 10 feet tall and ones about the same size it was when we got them three (going on four) years ago, they're about ten feet apart

Here's the almost ten footer

Sorry for the bad pics, it's hard to get a good one of that tree :/

That is what my plum is doing. The trunk is getting thicker but it's not filling out or getting any growth on it.
We are in the black belt between Selma and Demopolis in Perry Co. Pretty close to the Miss. line.
I bought two sand cherry bushes and they are still in pot's also. We grow black berries like crazy and veggies to boot! We are surrounded by catfish ponds and cows.

Found a volunteer squash the other day.

Nice. Just started getting female flowers here, I'm very excited it is pretty early for up here.
