Hello All,
Quick question. Should a large, hollow stump be treated like a in-ground
planting, or an above ground pot?
Taking down a old apple tree has left us a large hollow stump about 2' high,
and an opening 18-20" in diameter. There is about 2-3" of wood that
creates the natural planter. It's center is full of compost and soil. The
tree was a Northern Spy which was over 100 years old.
Would the soil volume and connection to earth be enough to protect a
planting of blackberries in the old stump? Or should annuals be put into
it? Zone 5A. Wild blackberries survive in the same orchard.
Thanks,
Tom
