In botany, a
pome is a type of fruit produced by flowering plants in the
subtribe Malinae of the family Rosaceae. Many are deciduous, but some like the Loquat are evergreen.
Here's a photo of my (front to back)
Shinseiki Asian Pear,
White Winter Pearmain Apple, and
Gordon Apple. They tend to bud out in April -- being more driven by the ascension of the sun than local temperatures. Not shown in the picture is my Loquat that hangs out with the evergreen citrus in another part of the orchard.
