I like the cage! Congratulations on the ripe "fruit treat".

Picked it and going to cut it up!

lorax · 07-06-2008, 06:43 PM

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 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!

mskitty38583 · 07-06-2008, 11:43 PM

bencelest · 07-07-2008, 01:34 AM

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.

bencelest · 07-07-2008, 05:23 PM

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

Richard · 07-07-2008, 10:07 PM

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

Oh don't bother bringing a steak for the dog ... he'll help you!

bencelest · 07-08-2008, 09:05 PM

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.

bencelest · 07-08-2008, 09:17 PM

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.

Richard · 07-09-2008, 10:31 PM

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.

island cassie · 07-09-2008, 11:02 PM
