Pretty gutted, had just started to harvest this year’s crop. Just the cherry on top of an already shit day. Even managed to snap the half inch metal stake I put there when I first planted it in February 2021.

This is the second worst news I’ve heard today.
With you there
mommykink. This also makes me feel like the squirrels destroying my plants was hardly the worst thing to ever happen to a gardener.Who… is mommykink?
Why is mommykink?
Whoops. Could’ve sworn I replied to somebody else. It was a username.
You… did?
different platforms have different display names I think. I see the user above as mommykink
I don’t care how high the wind was, destroying a garden is never acceptable.
LMMFAO
I’m so sorry. Gorgeous ripe fruits there to salvage at least. Looks like it broke so low it’s probably dead but maybe try keeping it moist a few weeks, you might get sprouts from the root
They’re pretty sprouty. I wouldn’t count it out yet.
Damn. I’m sorry to hear.
Too bad, if the wound is still relatively fresh you could try grafting it to a new root tree.
Gosh darn it!
