Hello Fellow Fruit Growers
I have been growing fruit for 29 years and eat it 12 months of the year with Owari Satsumas in January, Pinkerton and Jim Bacon avos in winter - spring along with Bears limes Oct.- March, bleuberries May, June, July and Sept., peaches and nectarines in summer, Goldensweet and Blenheim apricots and pluots summer, 5 varieties of apples July - Nov., bananas in containers, pomegranate form Wolfskill and huckleberries, Chilean guava, white sapote, 14 citrus, blueberries I've been growing for 20 years, raspberries - Autumn Bliss, Tulameen (my favorite), etc., Asian pears, Warren, Bartlett and Comice pear, grapes, black Persian mulberry, persimmon, paw paws and some other stuff.
I helped develop and now help manage a planting of lesser known fruit plants at Emma Prusch Park in San Jose, California in our International Fruit Orchard. There we grow neat stuff like Cornus mas - red and yellow fruiting dogwoods, Jaboticaba, Haskop (blue fruiting honeysuckle), jujubes, quince, seaberries, Aronia and 93 other fruits. I am stepping down from chairing the Santa Clara Valley California Rare Fruit Growers chapter as my term is over. Started the Master Gardener Program in Santa Clara County in 1982 - and ran it til 2004 which was a great joy. I now am a graden consultant and professional fruit tree pruner. I am a genuine fruitophile to the core. Last edited by passiflora123 : 12-13-2009 at 02:59 PM. Reason: I caught some misspellings |

Re: Hello Fellow Fruit Growers
Welcome and Wow! I've never heard of some of the fruits you mentioned. Wish you can teach us how to prune fruit trees, such as pomegranate.

Welcome! I probably know you, but am left guessing without your name. I'm a lurking member of the SCV CRFG.

Re: Hello Fellow Fruit Growers
Welcome from Maryland, The Free State.
Free State. The nickname "Free State" was created by Hamilton Owens, editor of the Baltimore Sun. In 1923, Georgia Congressman William D. Upshaw, a firm supporter of Prohibition, denounced Maryland as a traitor to the Union for refusing to pass a State enforcement act. Mr. Owens thereupon wrote a mock-serious editorial entitled "The Maryland Free State," arguing that Maryland should secede from the Union rather than prohibit the sale of liquor. The irony in the editorial was subtle.
