I love Oranges, especially Navels and Valencias. Currently growing Cara Cara Navel, Meiwa and Nagami Kumquats in pots. Kumquats are mainly a novelty for the ornamental value and the fruits are pretty cute. Wish I had room for those blood oranges too.
Planning on getting a Pomegranate if I come across one, just don't know what cultivar to look for.

Hi Dar!!
I have been reading up on the Poms, 'Angel Red' is good (and soft-seeded), 'Sweet' is high on flavor - both recommended!! I have a Wonderful, 2 Dwarf & 2 way older mystery Pom's with double blooms...is showing good fruit this year!( I had to 'help' Mother Nature with a soft bristled brush, LOL)
The Mandarins are going well(to me), have right around a dozen fruit.
Any insight into the calamondin?? :)
WOW Pete!!! A FEW Figs??!! :D
Hope it's a beautiful Morning for you! :) ~Cheryl

I forgot the Pomegranates! I'm growing several 'Wonderful", one "Sweet", five from market fruit seed, and one that was gifted to me and reported to have large fruit.

Yeah, I'm not sure why I have so many lemons. Unfortunately, having lemon plants doesn't necessarily equate to having fruit. My Meyer and Ponderosa both bloomed like crazy earlier this year and neither have a single fruit on them. My var. lemon has two!

Im from Los Angeles,ca but my parents are from mexico so they would shop at alot of the hispanic stores. My mom would buy the fruits then just grow them from seed. Which reminds me she still has some nanners that I need to find out what they were.
