I bought some Patriot Blueberry plants, and three apple, pear, and self-pollinating plum tree seedlings. All were very young plants. I got these plants at tractor supply for a low price. When I got home, I found out why. Although the plants had some leaves, the plant did not appear to have much if any root structure on the plant. There was no root ball, only a loosely wrapped mulch inside the plastic container.
I tried to plant these anyway.
I dug large yard square holes of sufficient depth. I mixed compost, mulch, and our red clay soil in the hole. Then, I dug a hole for the plant. I then packed it down and built a mound to protect the plants. I mulched it with about four inches of mulch. Rain is expected tomorrow.
I updated my zone one garden plan diagram with the new plants.
