Yup, that's ripe! What colour flesh is it?

Today, I harvested Figs (Breva-type), Lantana Berries (yum, jam!), and some wild ginger root.

I don't think so. Cherries have to satisfy some chilling requirements during the winter when they are dormant in order for them to fruit.
I thought here in Salinas we didn't have enough below freezing weather but I tried it and was successful because I did not see a single cherry tree in the neighborhood.

i thought so....keep up the good work!

How many winter chill hours do you have in Miami? (check with a reputable nursery, or perhaps someone here knows)

You might be able to grow the cross-pollinating pair of ultra-low chill (~250 hrs) cherries: Minni Royal + Royal Lee.

If you really want to know, drive around your neighborhood and see if there is one yard growing them or perhaps the next city.

45 more pounds of peaches, plus 20 pounds of Green Gage Plums.

3 apricots I harvested the only three apricot fruit on the branch.



So you see, last summer I grafted it to a flavored king plout but I was surprisedit fruit but only three. But when I saw one with bird bite on it I plucked them and ate it. It was so good to taste for the first time.
One has to notice on the other branch is a grafted white peach .
Luckily, on other branches, there are some white peaches that fruited also but only two fruit. It should be ready in a few days.

And here's the white peach I am talking about. Notice also an apricot branch at the bottom of the fruit and fruit plouts scattered around .



And I have many branches that I grafted apricots and plums on one plout tree.

15 pounds of Green Gage plums and 30 pounds of Saturn Peaches. This will become about a dozen jars of plum preserves (no sugar added), and 1 dozen jars of peach preserves, 2 pounds of dried peaches, plus assorted pies and breads.
