I'm in PA, zone 6b, and planted Honeoye in containers last spring. They grew very well and produced surprisingly well for being first year plants.. Currently wintering in my shed.

Brady, I don't recall what kind of mix I used but I want to replace it anyway, so suggestions are welcome! No, the barrels were not cut in half. We cut the top off, put drainage tubing inside and cut holes for the plants. It would seem to work well, but the varieties that i had in the barrel that I did get planted didn't do well, so I am looking for other varieties (we have 2 barrels).

Ampersand, are Honeoye ever or June bearers? I saw them listed on a site for VA plants, but have not heard of them before.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Honeoye are June Bearing.
