Wow, great pics. It looks like you have done a great job! Keep up the good work. I wish I had the property to do that.

Wow that looks great! Can you add some text so we know what species we see on the pics?

HMHausman · « **Reply #3 on:** December 25, 2012, 08:54:35 AM »

All being grown in Spain??? Very, very impressive. Some text would be very much appreciated.

You must be in a magical spot climate-wise. Very nice indeed.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing....

Great selection of wonderful-looking trees. Congrats, JoseCarlos!!!

I would also suggest some photo labeling to see exactly what you have.

Thanks,
Jaime

Very very nice. Just to compare your latitude to two American cities where you could never grow mangoes, bananas etc or lychee

36.7167° N Malaga Spain

36.8857° N Norfolk Virginia

37.3041° N San Jose California

I am speechless , would never have guessed this is growing in Spain , you are doing better than I do Jose Carlos . Next you will plant Durion right !

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #10 on:** December 25, 2012, 12:34:44 PM »

thank you for sharing the photos.

I can clearly see you're taking advantage of your climate!

(PS, looks like you have the real peanut butter fruit! Bunchosia argentea, have you tasted the fruit?)

Tropicalgrower89 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 25, 2012, 02:14:15 PM »

Great pics! Looks like tropical trees do well in your area. Do you encounter any freezes there during winter?

Pasca · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2012, 02:20:46 PM »

Thanks for sharing. As other members have pointed out, it is amazing that these trees are grown in Spain. What is laudable is the variety of plants and how long ago you must have started for these specimens to be how they are now. I am struck by the breadth and depth of your collection.

Jackfruitwhisperer69 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 25, 2012, 02:51:22 PM »

Hola José,
Your slice of paradise in Malaga...sure looks spectacular and well taken care of

Thanks a bunch of lychees for sharing

nullzero · « **Reply #14 on:** December 25, 2012, 03:28:37 PM »

Great collection of plants, very impressive! Loved all the shots of the lychees.

samuelforest · « **Reply #15 on:** December 25, 2012, 09:19:15 PM »

Really good collection! I never thought that those would grow in Spain. I thought it was too cold.

Ethan · « **Reply #16 on:** December 26, 2012, 12:45:45 AM »

Wow, what a beautiful mature collections of trees, I cant wait to hear more about them!

MangoFang · « **Reply #17 on:** December 26, 2012, 02:00:56 AM »

jose carlos- like every one else am amazed at what you can grow there,
that I also thought might be too cold. Would love to know the varieities
of mango and papaya you grow.

I do see what looks like the ocean nearby in one picture, or perhaps its
the Mediterreanean.....seems like an ideal location!

Thanks to all, I am going to edit the post with the plants names.

siafu · « **Reply #19 on:** December 26, 2012, 03:22:55 PM »

Hi JoséCarlos,

Annona muricata, growing outdoors? That's says a lot about your climate. No wonder Rollinia mucosa
is doing so well at your location.

I thought it was Annona montana.

Tropicdude · « **Reply #20 on:** December 26, 2012, 05:07:26 PM »

Very impressive, amazing all those trees are growing so well in Spain. envy your Lychees.

ScottR · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2012, 10:49:34 PM »

WOW, what beautiful trees it looks like a botanical garden, great job, how long since you started you collection of trees and plants. Very nice Holiday gift to the forum, thanks for posting pictures.

jez251 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 27, 2012, 10:32:23 AM »

Nice-looking Nance tree. How do you use the fruit? Do you eat out of hand, or process it?

Jaime

hmmm....I agree with you Scott. I bet this is La Mayora in Malaga Spain. Malaga is zone 9B is as cold as Cental California, Barkersfield is warmer in the summer, this looks like a goverment funded project.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for sharing...I didn't know that Malaga had a research station like Canarias does
