Default Re: Growing Citrus

I'm going to try this method of posting photos for a while. Taken with my phone and uploaded to Google+. Not a great shot but a lot faster than me processing large files from my DSLR and processing them in Lightroom, etc. and then uploading those to my own host.

I began harvesting my navel oranges maybe a couple of months ago, maybe two and a half months ago, and they are about gone. I picked about 800 pounds between this tree and a smaller one, not counting another 200 pounds or so that dropped to the ground. They are very tasty but breaking down quickly now. The tree is in full bloom as can be seen in this photo. This tree has an old volunteer (?) avocado growing up through it to which I've grafted an unnamed seedling selection picked up for me by Tony.
