More 3/10/2012 Yard Update
« on: March 12, 2012, 11:14:25 AM »
Yet another, still in a pot, now grown into the ground, former shade house resident........either See Chompoo or E Daw longan happily blooming away

Surinam Cherry "Zill Black"......in its annual million fruit annual fruit set.




Black Gold x Tabouey jakfruit putting on its crop.  I think there might be about 30 fruits or more that I can readily see already of the size seen here in this shot.


Alano Sapodilla


Green Sapote, finally emerging with new growth after a long (although mild) winter dormancy.


One of two seedling abius....this one set fruit last year.  I also had an attack of Cuban May Beetles last year, that, thankfully, has not occurred this year.  I am hoping for a bumper crop.


Still some more to come.....I'll further update as I get the chance to post.

Those alano sapotes look pretty large.

All of your trees look nice and healthy.  :)

I am digging the black surinam cherries also.  Do they taste any different from the reds?  Reds grow wild all over Bermuda and are also popular hedges, so no one gets too excited by them.  Do save me some seeds from the blacks if you can.

Hey Harry,

Those are some of the BIGGEST Longans I have ever seen in the 1st Picture  ;D  All joking aside, everything looks awesome as usual.  I just love looking at pictures of your yard.  I always look forward to Spring so that we can get the Update pictures.  Thanks for sharing Harry.

Love the surinam cherry pictures! The fruit looks so tasty, it makes me want to get a selected variety of Surinam cherry.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

While I thank you for the kind words, only Jacob caught that I had the alano sapodilla on the post twice instead of the longan in a pot.  Now corrected.  Jacob is on the ball.  The rest of you are as bad a proof readers as I am.

I would hope for you all to never be that polite.  If I am starting to lose it and post stuff that I didn't intend to post, I am going on record now....please tell me.
