When I finally got around to buying my DF at Lowes there was only one left. It was leaning over and looked a little scraggly, it has 2 plants coming up from the dirt 2 inches apart. One of them looks ok to start up as is, the other one has several sections (pieces?) in the first 2ft and looks a little weak. It does however have a healthy new 2in shoot at the base that is growing fast. Is it worth taking the top for clones and letting the new shoot grow out. Does anyone have an opinion on Lowes red DF quality. Is there a known red variety that is comparable. I ask because I want to get other varieties and dont want to get something too similar. Any tips on fruit festivals in CA would be appreciated.
Thanks for your help
