Pictures of New Yard Happenings
« on: February 08, 2012, 09:25:34 AM »
Hello Friends,

I thought I would just post some pics of some of the stuff I have not posted recently.

Yellow Jaboticaba (M. glazioviana)




Giant Florida Purple Surinam Cherry Flowering Profusely






'Reine Claude Dorée' Green Gage Plum - The Best Original Old World Variety







'Jefferson' Green Gage Plum





'White's' Cherimoya with some Fruit









Sorry about the night time pics, It's really the only time I get to take pics with my work schedule right now.

Thanks,

Jacob

Good luck with the plums and cherimoya!  Where are you precisely?  Are you growing any Japanese plums, peaches, or nectarines?  How big is your lot/property?

WOW!!!

I love your trees! good job with the cherimoya in pot!!!

Also, I can tell it got in the 40's for sure...surprised your yellow jabo looks so good!  If it got windy and in the 40's, your leaves would all be red and hurting!!

That yellow should fruit this year if you really push it along with small amounts of quick release fertilizer, and full sun and warmth!!!

Thanks for posting nice pics!

U should be on my list of honorary Free Myrciara vexator seedlings...along with Ohiojay and Lycheeluva!!

Email if u'd like me to send you some free seed or maybe a seedling later this year!

Hey Adam,

Thanks for the Compliment.  I would say 95% of all of my stuff is all in containers, so it's nice to have something fruit. 

I would love to be on the honorary list to receive a Free Myrciara vexator.  That would be great!

Thanks,

Jacob

Nice pics!

Is your Dr. White cherimoya naturally-pollinated or hand-pollinated

Oh yum, green gage plums, my favorite! Your plants all look very healthy, especially your yellow jaboticaba.

Hey Joe,

Thank you so much.  I am only able to take a few pics of my trees each night since I have been working so late. So every couple of days, I will post something different.

Thanks,

Jacob

Jacob,

Also great pictures! Btw, what fruit plants are your most productive in containers?
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Hey Nullzy,

Right Now, I would have to say my Fuyu Persimmon, Satsuma Tangerine, and Moro Blood Orange.  Although you can see, right now I have come Cherimoyas, and last year had Capulin Cherries, Jamaican Cherries, Acerola, Tons of Poha Berries. Pepino Melons, Mulberries, and Surinam Cherries, which have all fruited nicely for me in the past and I expect a nice crop from them this year as well. But Fuyu and Satsuma in terms of shear numbers for sure.

Really good to hear, I have a Hana Fuyu my GF gave me for a present. I am hoping it will be a productive container tree. So far blueberries, citrus, and apples have been productive for me.
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Hey JF,

I am still up in the air about letting my Mangos hold any fruit.  My Alphonso, which is a Beast is flushing and flowering like a maniac and plenty big to hold fruit, so I most likely will let it do it's thing.  As for the Coconut Cream, Pickering, Lemon Zest, and Pina Colada, I am not sure, but probably not.

As for the Sapodilla, that sucker never stops flowering.  It has flowered year round sinec I got it about 2.5 years ago.  It is a "Prolific" I got from Puerto Rico and I guess the name says it all, so hopefully it will hold some fruit this year, it is definitely big enough and has enough flowers.  I kid you not, it is in flower 100% of the time so we'll see.

Thanks,

Jacob

I will aslo let my Alfonso fruit this year, I think it's ready. Are all your mangos in containers? My Hasya sapodilla keeps flowering but not setting fruits. I wish both of us luck this summer.

Hey JF,

Yes,  All of my Mangos are in Containers.  I am planing on planting out at least 2 or 3 this Spring.  The Pickering will stay in the Pot, but I think the Coconut Cream, Lemon Zest, and the Alphonso are going into the Ground this Spring, and probably the Pina Colada as well.  The Sapodilla seems like its having a party in the pot it in right now, so I will most likely leave its in there for a while.

Thanks,

Jacob
