Walked around the yard this morning and decided to snap a few pictures. And let the tour commence...
NDM #4 - first year flowering. Was excited at the massive bloom. Less excited by the lack of fruit set. Should still get a few fruits.
Glenn mango. Our workhorse. Naysayers be darned. Tree is about 5 years old and has been consistent/free of disease. Should get a lot of fruit this year.
First pineapple. Yay. Think this is from a supermarket pineapple.
Mallika mango. First time flowering. Should get a few fruits.
Cogshall mango. Not in an ideal spot, but should still get some fruit.
Miracle fruit. Haven't really done much with the fruit on this one. I used to eat them when I drank horrible veggie concoctions from our juicer. Doing smoothies now and don't need the extra flavor kick. The birds mostly eat them now.
Pink lemon. Keep it in a pot. More a novelty than anything.
Christmas loquat. Useless. We've got maybe one fruit off it. Probably going to remove it or topwork it to a different variety.
Kari carambola. Not sure if soil or location, but this and the next two carambola trees aren't really taking off (unlike our monster Kari).
Arkin carambola. Also a bit of a runt.
Carambola. Bought it as a Kari, but we think it's a Fwang Tung (fruit ripens to a pale color). Has had nutritional issues, though does produce a lot of fruit on a twice-annual basis.
Sweetheart lychee. Decimated by sri lankan weevils. Little bastards. Tree was completely bare a month ago. This is a new flush and the weevils are back for dinner.
Hasya sapodilla. Has not produced fruit yet.
Mauritius lychee. Also a favorite of the weevils, though nowhere near the damage done to the sweetheart.
Blueberries coming along. Kids love em.
Glad you like my sapodilla tree, but it's squishing time.
Indian jujube. Wife loves em. I find it like eating paper.
UF Sun peach. Should get a bunch.
UF Sun peach coming along.
Angie mango. First year flowering. Looks like it's holding a lot of fruit.
Seedling abiu from Noel. No fruit yet.
Cherry of the rio grande. Newly planted.
Fruit punch mango. It's got some growing to do.
Meyer lemon. Produces a lot of lemons. Just flowered so we should get a bunch.
Kent mango. Dangerously close to being topworked. Fruit last year was terrible. It also likes to grow more than it likes to push flowers (as evidenced by the flush).
Some kind of crazy named mandarin bought from Excalibur. Shirazui? Shizam? Sham-Wow? Something like that.
Barbados cherry. Not the sweetest in the world. Might get yanked. We'll see.
Lemon Zest. First year flowering and looks to be holding some fruit. Yum.
Kari carambola. Workhorse. Must have been planted on an Indian burial ground that was planted on the same nuclear reactor that let Godzilla grow to his size. We just chopped it back after the winter fruiting season. It will grow another 10 feet within the next few months. Produces like crazy twice a year.
Rosigold mango. Holding a lot of fruit.
Monroe avocado. First time flowering.
Biew Kiew longan. First time flowering. Lots of open flowers and bees visiting, so hoping for some fruit.
Longan flowers up close.
Passion fruit vine. Couple years old. Hasn't made any fruit yet - maybe this is the year.
Lacatan banana. Has some growing to do.
Mulberries. Again, the kids love em.
Yehuda loquat. Workhorse. Makes a ton of fruit. This year the fruit flies got half of them, but we still got plenty to eat. Puts the Christmas loquat to shame.
Grumichama. Just finished its mass flowering.
The last grumichama flower. Tree was covered in these for a couple days. Fruit is... ok. Nothing to write home about, but still good.
Tropic beauty peach. Located near the yehuda loquat that got decimated by fruit flies, so experimenting with bagging some of the fruit. We'll see.
Red jaboticaba. Pretty much produces fruit all year.
Hello future red jaboticaba. Get in my belly.
Pickering mango. Another easy one. Makes a ton of fruit, requires little care.
Other sweetheart lychee. Don't tell the weevils this is here.
Some lychee flowers. Hard to get close as the bees are having a group orgy. Couple of them paused long enough to get them in the picture.
Malay apple. Probably waiting a while for this.
Coconut cream mango. First year flowering. Another disappointing fruit set. Flowered like crazy but very little fruit set.
Close up of coconut cream empty bloom spike. Mehh.
I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back these feeling for so long
And if you feel, like I feel baby
Then come on, oh come on
Let's get it on, oh baby
Hey who is that guy with the camera? Kinky! Threesome! He's getting closer. AAAGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHHGHG. Splat.
