Man, you guys are rockin' it! Happy you got some good rains, finally!
Mind if a Texas boy butts in on the SoCal party?
Peach crop is the pits this year due to insufficient chill hours. ALL of Texas fruit growers commercial and backyard gardeners are hurting.
Am enjoying a few fruits:
Reeds, rich and buttery. Blossom set was huge. Must be 100 marble size hanging.
Am letting 8 fruits hang on this young Sweet Tart.
Lemon Zest flowered heavy, am hanging about 10 fruits.
Frankecado is vigorous. Am letting Holiday, Ardith, and Sir Prize hang a few fruits. Pinkerton is not vigorous, dropped all fruit.
Sir Prize, a beast and very productive. Leaving about 4 on this graft. (Thanks Frank!!!!!! )
Got tired of the abundant albeit tart Key limes so I did 9 grafts on the chopped tree of Hamlin orange, Persian lime and Variegated Pink Eureka Lemon. 8 of the 9 took, bark and T-bud.
Still need to plant cherimoyas and graft a Mallika with scions yet procured.
....and then there's some color.
My favorite dwarf plumeria tree with variegated striped petals.
