I believe you are right. I took a liitle more time and looked from the bottom up and it looks like Orinoco. That's great too. I really liked the ones I ate last year and more this year is fine.

I have a Meyer's Lemon too. Once they start producing they will yield a bunch of fruit in just a couple of years. I got almost 300 last year. Makes the best lemonade in the world.

I'm really pumped by the Goldfinger. I think it may be my favorite. I have another mat that I think should produce a bloom this year and hopefully soon.

I have quite a few Meyer Lemons fruit on now and I am growing them mostly for the Lemonade. I hope it's as good as everyones says.

Hey Bo,

Don't give up as large as your mats are you may be surprised and get a bloom this year.

BUT

if not you can help me sample mine since you'll be back before they get ripe.

I have two Orinoco blooms with fruit, one that will open tomorrow (Ice Cream/Tall Namwah) and the Goldfinger is just pushing out the top.

I've already had three that I lost to frost early this year. I have five to nine P-stems that I believe will push a bloom soon too. Bo these bananas are all mostly Grand-Bananas off your mats from July 2010!

Remember this


and I think we even piled more on top. Thanks

PS I'm returning the generosity by giving out eight pups and plants this spring.
