8 Fruits That Grow in Bad Soil Where Nothing Else Will (Most People Waste This Spot)

These 8 fruits grow in the bad soil where nothing else will, the soggy corner, the heavy clay, and the dry rocky patch most people give up on and waste. Most fruit has been bred to want rich, perfectly drained ground, so it rots or starves in a bad spot, but these eight are barely removed from their wild selves and actually prefer the rough conditions that kill a peach or a blueberry. Inside you will meet: Elderberry (grows wild in wet ditches, zone 3 to 9) Aronia, black chokeberry (tolerant of wet sites, antioxidant superfruit) Serviceberry, juneberry (the blueberry taste without the fuss) American highbush cranberry (and the bitter look-alike to avoid) Currant and gooseberry (heavy soil champs, with a planting trick) Pear on the right rootstock (the one fruit tree for wet clay) Goumi (the fruit that feeds your soil) Plus the popular fruits everyone is wrongly told to plant in a wet spot that rot and die there every time. Tell me in the comments how long the water sits in your worst spot, and your zone, and I will tell you which to plant.
