I wasn�t sure if these would grow in my climate, but they�ve adapted well. The plants are leafy and strong, and the berries that have started to form look so vibrant. Definitely a good investment for any gardener.
The seeds came well-packed and clearly fresh. I soaked them before planting, and within a few weeks, I had healthy seedlings. They�ve added a nice variety to my backyard orchard.
These bayberry plants are hardy and don�t seem bothered by the hot sun or occasional dry spell. The seedlings grew into strong shrubs, and I�m thrilled with the results so far.
The berries from these plants have a unique aroma and flavor, unlike anything else in my garden. They�re slightly tangy and refreshing. Friends who tried them were impressed.
I like trying unusual fruits, and bayberry was a new one for me. The seeds sprouted slowly but surely, and now I�ve got sturdy plants that I�m excited to watch mature. Can�t wait to taste the full crop.
