Spencerw do you find the katuk does good at that elevation? I have 4 plants going, 1 in shade, 3 in mostly sunny, and they are just not growing well. Any advice?

Allen, I did mulch them but was afraid to over fert. So I'll add that to a couple and see how they do. I usually use goat/rabbit/donkey manure as fert but I do have some liquidy store stuff too.
