Here are some articles on Texas root rot in Arizona. I've often heard people attribute the death of their plants to it. It seems to be the catch all explanation for the death of a deciduous tree. Kind of like the "autism" for plants, ha ha.

I have a friend that mulches heavily and his tropicals do great but he can't seem to keep his deciduous fruit trees alive. He attributes this to Texas Root Rot. However, I can't help but wonder if the explanation is more simple. Maybe its the mulch, or too much water?

Anyways, apparently there is no way to know for sure without a lab test.

I bought 2 blueberry plants a month ago (misty/blue sharp)
I’m very excited based on what I’ve found.

Because blueberry's need high acidity soil i mixed a 3-2-1 (manure/natures way/our soil (moist clay)& a little gypsum, in a 10gal container. I planted both bare root plants in and they are sprouting like crazy, now. I think there a good investment to a fruit garden. With fully grown plants producing 10pt. of berries a year.

The trick must be acidic soil, but it can be managed better in a container.

Both varieties need only 200-300hours of chill. And begin to produce good after 2-3years. And can live up to 15-20years. Just like roses.

Great article link;
