Not too many fruits, especially interesting fruits, native to USA. So either you grown the South American, Central American, or Mexican goodies or the Asian goodies.  ;) One very interesting and tasty exception is the Paw paw.

Are you forgetting the mangnificent A. glabra, pond apple??  Some very nice selections are being grown along the canals in Davie, my home town.  I would have expected better from you, Oscar!  ;)

Hi Adam,

AWESOME pics as all ways!!!! Keep them coming ;D ;D ;D
Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Enjoy every moment of your life!

Ah yes, the pond apple. I once met someone that actually liked them!  :o ??? ::)  I think it was Erica on this group that sent me some selections she said were actually good tasting? I've still to plant them in the ground though. Still have those Erica, or will they not fruit at your new place?

Very impressive amount of older trees. Growing any persimmons Adam? Btw, are you using any superoot type containers?
Grow mainly fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

I'm not sure if they use the sabarah, or the Red jabo, but I know if you eat a sabarah jabo early, its like eating a sapodilla early...no fun!

You just reminded me that Frankies nursery used to have a sapodilla that could be eaten totally hard. Amazing! Forget what the cultivar name is. So it seems that in plant world there is an exception to almost every rule. ::)

I don't grow persimmon, partly because they do so well in ground, that many of my friends already have the best trees...so I can eat all I want when they have them!

But it will perform well in a container if given enough root space, and kept happy at a young age.

No, I can't afford fancy pots, so I buy them used, or get hand me downs

Adam,

That makes a lot of sense to grow others besides persimmons. Mature persimmons are such prolific fruit producers :). I know the costs of superoots and air pruning containers is prohibitive. I plan on using them only on the prized mango trees  :). I actually make most of the larger containers out of 55 gal plastic drums (saves tons of money, thank you car wash).

Can't wait until the 4th part of the series of photos.

Looking good Adam! I think one of these days, when you have enough trees in 25 gallon pots ready to burst apart, then you will have to get yourself a piece of land, pop them in the ground (with a crane) and will have yourself an instant orchard.  :)
