Thank you all. Given that Nikko blue hydrangeas bloom pink in our soil, and a holly on the other side of the house had chlorosis also, I am sure our soil is alkaline, and then yes, there is the concrete foundation and the bricks. I really don't want to move the blueberries if I can get around doing so with soil amendments, as the rest of the yard is already more than full. It is no problem to water the area and I'll add it to my rotation. Putting vinegar in the water won't be hard, either. Other than the vinegar, for adding acidity to the soil, what do you all recommend? I've read that mulching with pine needles helps, but I haven't seen any bags of pine needles, only pine bark and pine nuggets. What about HollyTone, which I bought to help the cholorotic holly when I moved it to a better site?

I have two 2-year old Honey Berry plants that are in a partial son to shaded area. I mulch them with shredded hardwood and apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer in the spring. They had their first blooms this year, but no fruit. They look good. The yellow leaves may mean over-fertilization. Have you checked the ph? They tolerate a wide ph range, 4.5 - 8.5. Most likely it's sun/wind scald; many cultivars of honeyberries, especially the early blooming ones, naturally experience browning and dropping of leaves in mid-summer. Honeyberries benefit from shade from the hot afternoon sun.

I was thinking that but the crab apples I am familiar with have larger fruits (the largest of these were under 1/2 inch). The seeds are definitely apple seed-like, but the fruits more like berries than even the smallest of apples and they are basically rotting on the trees, accounting for the change in color. I seem to recall the crab apple tree in my backyard as a child would shed the apples to the ground. I also don't recall the leaves being serrated, but smooth edged. Obviously I know nothing of tree families and similarities or cultivars to make any kind of judgement. :) I am learning though!

Rare Find carries 'Longwood Gold' but is currently out. Contact them to be notified when they are back in stock. Rivendell Nursery (wholesale) might also be able to find a source for you. Crimson Dale Nursery carries 'Alagold' but is currently out. They are wholesale and might be able to direct you to one of their retailers that carries this cultivar.
