Way cool!

How long have you had it? Any harvested fruit yet? Easy to raise?

Thanks

I picked it up this spring. I've fed it once and it stays secluded since its so hot here. I let the rain water it for the most part. I'm going to up pot it in the spring to a 25 gal setting it high in the pot.

What tree right here? And what's in the baggy? I assume there are seeds...

BTW, wonderful citrus. How old are your plants? Or maybe the better question is how long have they been in the ground? And what size pot did they start out in? Is their 1st time? (Besides the lemon.)

They are Olives off an Arbequina tree (3).. I have a Lucca Olive too, but its in recovery, should have some bounty off it next year. I purchased all these plants this year minus the Hamlin Orange that I picked up last year, but I did pick up 3 more this year. :^)

I was afraid to guess olive but thought it was. Where did you find trees? And how do they taste? Size of pots in which they arrived? (Gallons works for me.)

I picked them up from LEX Nursery in Shreveport. I believe they were in one gallon pots. I purchased all they had. If I wouldn't found them I would've drove to a grower in Houston and got them on the cheap. When I got them..

Now.. :^)

You inspired me to look for olive trees again. There's a little place in GA that sells premium olive oil and also sells 15" to 24" Arbequina, Arbosana and Koroneiki trees for $10 each shipping included. You have to order 5 or more. They'd take another season to produce I'm sure but it's the best price I've found so far.

That seems like a decent deal.. I'm sure they are small, but I'm sure they can more than double in size in a growing season. I like Olives since they have nice foliage, and Olives are the bonus plan.. :^)

Who cares about the foliage or flowers? Give me something I can eat. Like those EE roots or even daylily buds....

Of course its has to be edible some sorta way, but having something in my yard that looks good that nobody else has is kinda nice too.. :^)

My threshold for a purchases is, is it edible, a ginger or is it pokey.. Agave, Cactus, Roses, Yucca Rostrata, Palm, etc... :^)

Considering I've spent this season trying to fertilize veggies and only succeeded slightly with butternut squash, my criteria for non edibles is now whether or not they lure pollinators. No birds where I am. Mainly tree frogs, lizards, toads and flies. And ants that bite really hard, bugs that eat plants you put in dirt--potted ones are safe, mosquitoes (don't bother me) and numerous tree rats. Sometimes I think I moved to 3 Mile Island only more temperate. (BTW, people in other places dine on your selections.)

All I know is only 4 of my palms aren't edible, but they got some pokey stuff going on.. I think the main thing I fight in my yard is Ants.. and not piss ants.. :^)

What are these things? Someone tried to tell me they're fire ants; they aren't. Tiny little buggers that bit hard and leave huge itchy/wounds/bumps. The itch takes days to go away. It's not like I'm bothering them; you just have to walk near their nest and they attack. DE doesn't work; Sevin only slows them down. I've heard grits control them; I'm nearly ready to share. Not quite.
