Today is Friday so it is time for our ask expert council show. To ask a question for a show like this, just send an email to me at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with “TSPC Expert” in the subject line.

Today the expert council answers questions on muscadines, military vehicles, cooking, pastured poultry, home schooling, aquaculture and more.

In the body of your email first tell me the council member your question is for. Second ask your question concisely in one to two sentences maximum. Third any and all details after that. This is the formula to give you the best chance of getting on the air.

I do what I can to get as many of your questions as possible on the air but can’t always get to all of them. Our council is made of a wide variety of experts in everything from the tactical to the practical and everything in between.

To get more information on our Expert Council visit our “Meet the Expert Council Page” to learn more about them and their specific areas of expertise.

Bob Wells Plant of The Week – Minnie Royal & Royal Lee Cherry

They are adaptable from zone 7 to zone 9.

If you live in the south and have always wanted to grow cherries, then these are the trees for you. You need to plant one of each for pollination. They only require 250 chill hours (below 45 degrees).

Minnie Royal is a medium-sized, firm and flavorful red cherry that is mainly used as a pollinizer for Royal Lee and is very productive.

The Royal Lee is a heart shape cherry that is an early-season favorite, prized for its high productivity and excellent flavor.

Bob Wells specializes in edible landscape, including: Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, Nut Trees, as well as the hard to find Specialty Fruit Trees. Find this plant and more at BobWellsNursery.com
