Well, I just gave away all my guanabana seedlings at the last RFC meeting.
How about a plan of what will be done? For example:
8:00AM Arrival
9:00AM Analysis of site
9:30AM Preparation for repairs
10:00AM New plant introduction into garden from members (Break into groups of people)
...
etc.
This could all be on-going right on the forum. Of course this would have to be with Owner's permission correct?

Thanks guys!! My worst enemy of course is the yearly freeze and Critters that eat my fruits (but that's a whole different story,lol...)
The Conduit Poles are for protection...when I first planted the tree "wind protection" is highly recommended so I used those poles to attach shade cloth all the way around it...it worked out great for "winter protection" so it served me well.
Newgen, my yard is not that big...1/3 Acre...I still have room to plant more trees...but its very difficult to protect them during our freeze so I've gone with just a few...some of the yard you see belongs to my neighbor...
Luis, I cover mine with frost cloth, blankets, tarp, whatever I can...I also add a light source for heat...something like this!
if the original Grimal Jaboticaba (Myrciaria spirito-santensis) is gone, I have a bearing size tree I can donate.
it's a direct descendant of his original tree.
Starfruit (carambola) and dragon fruit have a clean, lightly sweet taste that you would probably enjoy.
Airlayered lychees.
Mr. Grimal actually fruited Rambutans down there but I doubt the trees have survived
