That's called smart planting and taking advantage of good space!

French sorrel in front and a passionfruit seed in back.

Adam, what is that you have on the little pot?

Hi guys I have a spot on the south side of the house that has space for one tree.  I have a key lime and a bannanas and they are both thriving on that side.  But there is plenty of space for another fruit tree.  I have a carambola and a sugar apple in 3 gal. pots.  Would the roots of either of these be bad too close to the house? What would you reccomend?
Thanks!!!

Hummmm so I should give it a couple more years then. Glad to know they are like that because I almost took it out (prime real estate for another tree).
But I will give it some time thanks guys.

Viva Pickering indeed!!!
These little tree is my pride and joy! It's loaded, I know a lot is going to fall, but I have high hopes for a good crop.

Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful pics I am loving this thread

Very interesting suggestions! Thanks
Unfortuately, I have never tried any garcinia.  Where could I find a fruit to taste and then plant the seed or the tree? I think based on what I read I would buy the tree without even trying the fruit.
The non fruit suggestions gave me a great idea to plant underneath other trees or in between the garcinias, I will look into those thanks for the suggestions.  I'm gonna research naranjilla because that's another one that I never tasted. 

It's a large space and I will like to fill it up, I'm will start with the garcinias u guys suggested if I can find one

Do you think cacao or dragon fruit (in pot) would like this spot?

Thanks for your responses! This spot will be my spring project, I will update with pics once completed.

What a beauty!  I can't wait for this years mango virtual tour!

Squam, thanks for that pic. I don't know how I missed it on the other forum.  It's a little bush, I'll probably prune mine every couple of years. 

I currently have one in ground and another one potted.  I will like to add another one right next to the one in ground but the largest I've seen are just a bit larger and wider than mine.  I wonder if Amy of you could share pics of more mature Pickerings.

Here is my the in ground of course adorned by inpatients because she is the princess (I know I lost my mind).  Followed by a dwarfed Glenn (that's another story) and a Carrie in the end.





And here is the potted one.  Their growth habit seems different.





Sorry about the size of the pics I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks guys.  I will transplant to a larger pot, perhaps a smart pot, and I will update once I see any fruits, maybe next year?!?!? Hopefully it is a lancetilla.

Jacob I love my Pickering, i think that's an excellent buy! I don't know anything about PC, I wonder where I could taste it before buying.
