Figured since it's 1,000 degrees out I may as well get some work done today and snap some pictures while I'm at it. Here's the update for late February 2018.
A good chunk of the morning was spent saying goodbye to this Christmas loquat tree. In 4-5 years, it has never produced a single fruit. It makes tiny little shriveled up messes. Whole tree would be gone but chainsaw chain got dull halfway through the process. No waste though... straight to the chipper for you!
Fresh mulch!
Pineapple alley. Mix of pineapples - 3 or 4 Kauai sugarloaf, a couple white jade, and a couple store bought Doles.
Cogshall. Not a single fruit last year. Hopefully a few this year.
Miracle fruit. Got more use out of it when I used the juicer. Now that I use a blender for smoothees we don't really use these for anything.
Pink lemon. More of a novelty but we get a few lemons here and there.
Alano sapodilla. Made a few already.
More pineapples. Eleuthera.
Mallika mango.
Frankenstein. Har grafted some sweet tart and edgar on this seedling. Still waiting for flowering. Nada so far.
My workhorse Glenn mango.
young Kari starfruit. Still has some work to do before it catches up to its big brother.
I'm getting tired of these mother fu@#$% iguanas in my mother fu#$%^ papaya trees! Can't seem to keep them from destroying these young Hawaiian papayas. These are Sunrise. Every time they flush they get destroyed.
Fwang Tung starfruit. Not my cup of tea, but the wife loves them.
Nam Doc Mai
Sweetheart lychee. This one gets decimated by the weevils. Has some flowers. We'll see.
Hasya sapodilla. It's actually produced a few thus far.
Mauritius lychee. Loaded with flowers.
Jujube. Last weekend I chopped down the 13 foot monster jujube whose rootstock killed off the graft. It bloodied me up but I won the battle when I kicked the stump into the lake screaming "THIS IS SPARTA!"
Unhappy Edgar mango. I pugged it last year because it was super lanky. It just doesn't want to grow.
Fruit Punch mango. First year with fruit.
Cherry of the Rio Grande. Thus far a dud. It's high on the list of "replaceable."
Abiu from Noel. Thus far no fruit. The lobate scales are attacking it pretty hard.
Angie mango.
UF Sun peach. Disappointing year. Some flowers but it kept most of its leaves this year for some reason.
I want to say "Morena" sapodilla but not sure. This went where the old jujube was. Chainsawing the roots of the jujube is what dulled my blade.
Malay Apple. Been 3-4 years with no flowers. Hopefully some day.
Coconut Cream mango.
Sabara jaboticaba. I'm guessing a few more years until fruit.
Soursop waiting for a spot to open up somewhere.
Grimal jaboticaba. Also waiting for a spot.
Meyer lemon. Lots of flowers.
herb/veggie raised box # 1. This one has mint, basil, rosemary, arugula, carrots (just harvested them).
Some kind of mandarin bought from Excalibur. Japanese type name.
Raised garden box # 2. This one has arugula, lettuce (2 types), longevity spinach, new zealand spinach, kale, georgia collards, etc.
Sweet Tart mango. The only casualty of Irma was a sweet tart in this spot for about 5 months before Irma split it right at the graft.
Barbados Cherry.
Lemon Zest. YUM!
Tomato alley.
This Kari starfruit tree is planted atop a nuclear site. Just chopped it back after final harvest. It will be 15 feet again by summer. Amazing tree. Covered in loquat mulch.
Rosigold mango.
Tropic Beauty peach. Again, not a great year for peaches here.
Monroe avocado. Aborted all fruit last year. Hopefully this year it pulls through.
Biew Kiew longan.
Some dragonfruit
Don't tell the iguanas about these Hawaiian papayas. Rainbow.
Lacatan bananas. Very good.
Grumichama.
Yehuda loquat. Excellent. Got a lot this year. Fruit flies got a lot too.
Red jaboticaba. Definitely the one to get if you're not patient.
Pickering mango.
Another sweetheart lychee. The weevils haven't really found this out yet.
Monstera Deliciosa guarded by an attack lizard.
