Miguel is really Santa Claus? You must have been a good boy! 

Yes Miguel is awsome! And i think i'm a good boy... 

Hi Luis, congrats! I was wondering why did you added sete capotes... mine it seems to be bearing the first fruit and I am wondering if it would be nice or not. If Miguel gave this to you, maybe it's a nice fruit

Hi my friend, Happy New Year! Yes, Miguel advise me this is a great fruit! By the way, the guabiju is good?

[huertasurbanas]

I hope Miguel is right: the tree is so pretty and the perfume of the flowers is excelent, but it's better if it brings good tasting fruits.

Guabiju is very variable, for now I tried only some fruits the last year from a tree at Buenos Aires and I liked it a lot, the skin was sour and the pulp very sweet (not as sweet as the black surinam cherry), so it's better to eat only the pulp; the seed maybe it's too big for this little fruit. The flavour was not comparable to anything I know. I want to do some jellies based on it, they say it's great.

My fruits are about to be ready now, see:






I almost cant resist the temptation, but will have to wait 1 week or so...



Happy new year!

Congrats, Luis. That's a big collection of rare fruit trees, most of them I don't know at all.

Infortunately i lost 3 plants with this winter gondo, pitomba and Eugenia florida... and the lost the two lychees, two cherimoya trees and the two mango trees! All of them covered and not so cold temp! -1C was the minimum i get, but a lot of rain and strong winds many days! I think i have to choose better not so windy spots. I think i will give up to have lychees and mangos. My 3 avocado trees are great and macadâmia too. I'm very sad with all this dead trees...

Oh luis! I'm so sorry.  Don't give up.  Try Adam's recommendations for cold weather. I got about as cold as you but not as windy I think.  It worked for me. I fenced around the trunk and filed it with leaves and grass clippings. Then when bad weather was expected, Icovered the tops.We did 8 trees like that and it was not hard to do. I left the tree trunks like that all winter and after the cold weather, I pulled the fence off and the leaves became mulch.

Viewing the collection say it I,is excellent!!

Temperature might have been -1, but when you factor in wind chill factor it probably was a lot lower temperature. Even here in tropics i have to protect plants from the wind, as they can dry up too fast and also get badly beat up.

Yes it's true. I didn't count with this wind factor because this year was very very windy... not normal here.
