Default Re: We all have a story about how we got started, I'd love to hear yours!

A member on a citrus forum posted pics of his Ice Cream banana ready to flower in his front yard in SC. I decided I wanted one esp when I read they are about the best tasting. He said he would give me a pup but time went on so I think it was him who sent me a link to IC for sale on Ebay. I bought 2 - 2inch tc IC's. That was in June '06. He also told me I'd never get it to fruit here. It's now the big one I'm hoping will flower this year.
Through trading, I also got a dbl Mahoi & Truly Tiny that summer. Then, Joe Real posted the link for this forum on the citrus forum & I joined (06). Didn't post much the first year, but the more I read, I became addicted and learned a lot. I now added tc's Siam Ruby, Raja Puri, & the Misi Luki pup I won from Mitchel to my small collection. I am still learning
