Thanks Abimael and Nate!

Seems more and more garcinias keep popping up, haven't met one I didn't like. Might have to squeeze a few more in =)

The de bicos are doing great!

They can ship, but have to be picked slightly early (yellow and green) and overnighted. Must be packed well. Have successfully sent them before, expensive.

Ended up getting a lot of rain

.39 yesterday, .97 today

Used the electric leaf blower to dry panicles on a few trees, lmao

...some spray, I blow dry

Great news Palmcity! Coco Cream blooming is no small thing, and 4 unique seedlings would be the most exciting to me as well

Thank you Puglvr1!

Beautiful Maha Calusa. Pretty fruits soon, to go with a pretty tree

Hear ya FruitNoob, getting that daily dose of dopamine from checking on flower spikes and fruitlets is a nice break from the crappy newsfeeds and stresses of life. Keep the updates rolling!

Hope to see some fruitlets soon on those greenhouse mangoes Jabo!

Hey Joe! Thanks for posting these videos, you and Nate are living out many of our dreams. Ya'll are taking this nomadic fruit hunter-gatherer thing to a whole nutha level! Bring back some good ones!

Wake that Pickering up Carbo! Too much dry will not be good for flowering and fruit set. Afraid this has occurred with our m. casturi. Watering it periodically now to wake it up. Can't flower if too dry. Can see it in the shape and feel of the leaves.

Have started watering all of our mango trees.

Miami-Dade had a near record low for Jan 2023 (.05 inches), which is about 5th least rainfall since records have been kept.

At out home, via my weather station, we got .03 inches of rain in January. Have barely used the sprinklers as well.  I think that and the cold spells have been contributory to the flowering extravaganza.

Time to water

Very little Lil Gem wants to get in on the action:

Kumquats and fingerlimes do best from what I know.

Lovely sight! Lucky you!!

Woohoo, raffles are fun. I'm in.

Orange Sherbert is jumping in now, and a recently planted Edward is pushing blooms too. Oh, and Kesar is getting busy with the blooms.

Waiting on Kasturi, which may be stressing from no rain, along with Coco Cream and NDM4. All others are either flowering, in pots, or not ready to hold fruits.

a beautiful sight indeed!

Seems ours is finally getting going this year too. One grafted tree (10 feet +), plus a grafted branch that has taken over a NDM4 tree. So, hopefully lotsa OS this year.

......damnit!
