Dark Star Beauty Berry


Dark Star Beauty Berry

Silly thing has not produced one singe purple berry..mentioned it to some ladies walking by and all they said was "Your not talking to it enough." Right like I have time to stand around talking to a shrub...grow-make berries-what could I possibly offer it to make it decide to bare fruit?

I have not fed it since early summer ..I suppose it could use some more to produce berries...usually don't think about feeding until spring...I wonder if it is too late now.

I talk to my plants. I tell them if they don't grow they'll end up in the compost bin.

Do you have one of these Gloria?

I'm with Hywel. I plant mine and then say..... 'Ok! You're on your own now. You have two choices. You can grow and flourish or you can die and be thrown on the compost" Seems to work for me!!! :o)

I can't understand what you are all on about. I thought it was a post box or another of Ian's bird boxes! And as for the ladies walking past - I don't think I will go there.

Blind as a bat aren't you...glad you did not go there on the ladies walking past..best to leave it alone.

Did it flower Cj? If it did, maybe the flowers didn't get pollinated. If it didn't flower maybe it is too young yet???????????????

It took forever to leaf out after I brought it home last spring..but it did leaf out..never saw it flower..and it never did anything but lose it's leaves...I was wondering if it could be too young...
