Thanks! I sent them an email:-) i may just may another of each and have three plants instead of 2.... not that my surviving one looks entirely healthy in any case. I thought it would have gotten much bigger last year...

Last year I planted an aurora and indigo gem haskap... i thought both were dead but one revived itself. Trouble is I dont know which so I dont know which i need to replace/find a new pollinator for. Is there any way to identify which plant this is?

I've ordered from https://www.rainbowseeds.ca (in New Brunswick), www.veseys.com (PEI i believe?) and West Coast Seeds (in BC i believe but ships across Canada). Had good germination rates with all of these...

Thanks - I was planning on planting garlic interspersed with daffodils around the perimeter (I think a 5 foot diameter), some thyme/oregano/lavender (anti pest/pollination though lav pref full sun?) underneath and comfrey (for nutrients, nitrogen, etc).

Still researching as this is first time for me.

Will comfrey not grow under cherry trees well? Do you have an alternative/suggestions?

Thanks Burl! I’m going to see if I can find a local source first. Restrictions lifting on garden centres so will see if I have any luck there:-)

I've got my first two cherry trees (my first ever fruit trees:-) ) arriving later this month and am hoping to plant some comfrey underneath. I am in Toronto and not sure where to start looking to source roots or plants.

Thanks!
