    Getting fantastic fruit this year. Gave the plants a shot of Triple 16 in May, then a shot of Blood Meal in June. Large juicy berries.

Excellent sweet fruit. Larger then previous years.

Added bone meal as the flower production has dropped and I'm seeing some dead flowers. Orioles are enjoying my crop.
