Thank you for the welcome.
@HMHausman The avocado trees are all very mature. We bought the land from a family - the dad had passed away - and the son only had limited information. I'm not sure how to judge the age of a tree, but some of the avocados are huge - 25 to 30 feet. The citrus is all very mature. Almost everything is fruiting.
@jez251 I will send pictures . . .
@nullzero We face the Port of LA, so the fog is relatively limited. But we are on a slope so we have differing climates - one area is called cold canyon because we get frost, but the orchard is east facing, no obstructions, and stays warm all year from what we can tell. We do have a couple of dragon fruit and prickly pear but not the others. I will check them out.
