Hi all, new to this forum (and gardening in general), usually hang out in "Tomatoes"...:) Anyway, I would like to plant a Bloodgood JM in my front yard. However, the area where I'd like to plant it has a big double arborvitae stump which I'd like to let rot instead of breaking my back digging it out. I was thinking of planting the Bloodgood in a half whiskey barrel for a couple of years, then transferring it to the ground once the stump has broken down a bit. My questions:
* Will Bloodgood do well in a half barrel for a few years and then survive transplanting?
* What potting soil should I use in the barrel? Growing instructions? (Is there a thread for this maybe?)
* Should I just suck it up, rent a stump grinder, and put the JM in the ground to start?
* Will a Bloodgood do OK in full sun in zone 6a, or should I consider another variety?
Thanks lots!!
