Both of my bushes set fruit. And both are in nursery pots. I was wondering how to keep that going. Hmmmm .... I already have a rat problem but I think because they were raised up off the ground that maybe the rats didn't find them this past Spring. Who knows. I also thought of planting one in my front garden, but you mentioning the soil ph, maybe that is NOT a good idea as my front yard is sand. I do have amended raised beds and am planning to add another one to my front yard. Maybe that will be the place to add them. Though the racoons would probably LOVE that! Yeah ... it's a challenge to grow edibles in Florida.
