I was given what I have so no idea of the exact species. I will post photos on Facebook.

Can you advise me on soil additives, and water requirements? If this works out, I have three acres on GSRI that I would have to cover with something better than the gumbo that is there. I don’t know whether it would take sand, river silt, or compose.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Yours truly,
Harold Odom
