| There is an old posting with many suggestions for purchasing fruit trees. I find TyTy's web site to be offensive; perhaps aimed at the MTV generation. I am interested in Classical Fruits in Moulton, AL. I cannot get their web site. Any help or other suggestions welcome.
I hope to plant about a dozen grape vines this fall, gold and black muscadines. My grandfather grew concord grapes here in south west Alabama. I do not know the exact kind, but they were small, had seeds and were absolutely delicious. I have read that it is too hot to grow concords here. Thanks to all, and I am thrilled to have found this group. |

| In my opinion, from my personal experiences with them and from the LONG, LONG thread which was on GW, TyTy is not a good place to trade, even if you are not offended by their advertising. There was a long thread on Dave's Garden rumor is it was deleted by threat of some sort of action from TyTy. |

| Sorry, I didn't mean to rant about TyTy. Call Jason at Petals from the Past in Jemison. He will be glad to make suggestions and I am sure he has some of the really good varieties. Have you thought about muscadine or scuppernong varieties? Jason has those as well. |

| I planted 2 muscadine & 2 scuppernong Jan. 09. Both had leaves in the spring but did not make it through July. I planted 2 concords, a thornless blackberry and a rasberry at the same time. The rasberry is the only plant living. They were planted in a patch my husband had previously used as a clover field, and clover is still there. I have three struggling blueberries. Pecan, pear, peach, plum, and fig are all doing well, planted three years ago in the same field. We are in upper part of zone 8. |

| My last post was added in hopes someone may have a suggestion as to the reason for my failure with the grapes and berries. Any help appreciated. |

| Perhaps too much fertilizer. Plants can be burned with too much. More likely too much water. Everything I planted early,cabbage, broccoli,lettuce,turnip greens, mustard and radishes died due to stnding water from so much rain in early spring. Even those planted later, squash, beans , okra and tomatos,etc. were hurt and delayed in growing due to too much rain but they finallaly cane on ok, |

| The Classical Fruits in Moulton is closed down that was on Hwy 157. I don't think anyone has taken over the groves either. I went by there Friday and someone has build over the shop in to a warehouse. Their sign is gone also. Hope this helps. |

| Someone else said they thought Classical Fruits may be closed due the the death of the owner. Very sorry to hear that. We may have over fertilized the vines. I am pretty sure it was not too much water, as we had very little rain Jan -June. I did water with well-water that has a lot of sulfer. Could that be a factor? |

| Ty Ty in Georgia I had ordered from them in the past and everything died. Being new at this I assumed it was my fault. I had been to their nursery in Georgia so I knew they were a real business. In fact they have some very expensive looking statuary there. So still thinking it was my fault I had placed another pretty large order in August with them. after reading here on this site I got wise. Called them and cancelled and followed up with an email. Thanks for the help. I also checked on two other places that I had placed orders with and found out they were also brand X. They were JE Miller out of Canadaigua NY Thank you everyone for saving me a few hundred bucks. |
