I was thinking about that when I was planting them but I didn't have spare stones lying around. This is probably my best course. There's only one of them and a friend of my wifes recommended that I buy one or two more for cross-pollination. It's a Jersey variety. It's not that I don't want to rip up other shrubs to make room for them, I'm just short on time and $$$ right now (my lawn is trashed, my backyard garden and old raspberry patch all need my attn too). Is this also a necessary step? The plant's barely 8 inches tall right now.
Sorry to hit you with more ?s after you've already answered the first. I thought I read up enough on this. Thank you again.
