honeyberry

[rita1]

i have just ordered 3 honeyberry plants, i have never grown these before and would like some advice on them, how big do they grow and what soil i should i use.
i only have a small garden so i hope they don't get to big.

These were the 'giant plugs' that T&M sent me. I got my money back the same day they arrived after I stopped laughing hysterically.

The two I kept [as an experiment] are now [wait for it, wait for it] a whole 6 inches tall.

I have great hopes that they might fill a tiny gnome sized corner of the garden. One day - maybe.

oh no they dont look too good, they might have fruit on them by the time i retire, ha ha.
oh well i won't have to worry about them taking over my garden......

By the way - they were in pots that I put them into. The 'Giant Plugs' were about an inch deep. Half an inch wide. I'm still laughing. Not.
