Herbicide damage plants (update)
As I have already posted, I had 3 plants that were hit with overspray by a neighbors lawn service. One didnt make it (Black and Brown Boar) and two survived (Cherokee Purple and JD's Special C-Tex)
While they were stunted badly, they bounced back in a big way. They both are now larger both height and width wise than their sister plants that recieved no damage, and they are just loaded with fruit. And while most of my other non cherry plants are already struggling badly to set fruit ,these are still flowering well and continue to set. I am completely surprised by these tough customers, I figured plant size and production would be no where near the other plants. Its almost like the early stress made them even stronger in the long run.
