My backyard is no where near as nice or organized as most of the members here but I just wanted to share a few photos of my back yard in So Cal by the foothills.

This one of the two grafted cherimoya trees from temple nursery.  The cultivar is unknown.


A couple of fruit set




Here are two African pride fruit hanging from a graft done earlier this spring.


Here is a variegated cherimoya in a 1 gal pot.  Not sure if the variegation is stable or what caused it.



Some tomato vines.  There were some sun sugar cherries, tangerines, black krim, zebras, and a few others. They were all indeterminate and became invasive.  I already pulled them all out.



Anyone else growing kakai pumpkins?  I am mainly growing them for the seeds without the hull.


Here is a Brewster lychee.  It's been in the ground for 3 years and no fruit so far.  It did bloom for the first time this year but no fruit set.


This carambola has also been in the ground for three years.  It bloomed throughout most of the year for the last three years but the flowers just dries and falls onto the ground without fruit set.  Maybe my soil is too alkaline?  This is the first fruit in 3 years and its not perfectly formed.



Here is a franken-loquat on two rootstocks with big jim and champagne grafted.  Big jim is on the top on a cleft graft.  Champagne is on a wedge graft below big jim.




Some lychee airlayers from my friend's tree.  I started the airlayer earlier this March but they were not removed from the mother plant until this July.  It's flushed out nicely.  Anyone know what kind of lychee this is?  The fruit is quite large with a large pit.  One fruit out of a hand full will have a chicken tongue seed.  Another Brewster or is it a Mauritious? I did 3 airlayers and the tallest is about 5 feet tall.




Thanks for looking.

I took down four of my flowering trees and decided to replace them with a hedge of guavas since we like guavas so much.  So far, I planted two white Indians, a Malaysian, Mexican cream, giant Thai, and an unnamed seedling pink guava.   

I saw a "tropic white guava" from home depot the other day and I was debating on whether I should get it.  I am not sure who propagated this tree since the tag was missing.  I only recall seeing the label on the pot calling this a tropic white guava.  Would it possibly be the same as La Verne nursery's tropic white?  These guava names all sound too generic.  Also, how is the flavor and texture of this guava?  We are more into the crisp texture guava types.

I am looking to add my first mango tree in my Southern California backyard.  I am looking for a mango tree with minimal to no fiber and better than average in flavor.  I am currently looking at Angie, Fairchild, and Nam doc mai.  I have no experience in mango growing.  What would you recommend or what is best suited for our climate?
