Not good! Hurricane warning! We are dead center of projections. My biggest concern is the citrus trees--loaded with fruit to the point of almost breaking limbs from the weight of fruit. I am worried that the winds will break a lot of limbs and strip fruit. I have tried to stake and tie branches as much as possible, but I am sure there will be some damage.

Pecan tree will be the next biggest problem--it too is loaded and just starting to drop nuts, but many are still in solid green husk. Likely to get some broken limbs there.

Bananas in containers, I can lay down, but I wonder if I should cut leaves from the inground pstems to prevent breakage of larger plants. Any suggestions?
