This year I will be trying out the 854.6 Johnston 2009 (993 Vincent-McGill x self). My hope is that the shape and color of the 854.6 will be reproduced in its offspring.
Soil Preparation this year was minimal. A layer of horse manure 6" thick was spread over the growing area several weeks before germination (not enough time, I fear, for the manure to have sufficiently decomposed). In addition, I added a 6"-thick layer of compost and steer manure over a 3 ft-diameter circle centered about the planting spot.
