Ryan you have too much wasted space! Laughing You need to fill that front yard with hardy citrus.

Door to driveway...no citrus Sad



Front door...Juanita, Swingle, CitChangsha, Thomasville, Pomello x Poncirus, Sudachi, Poncirus. Hard to use this door in the summer.



Back door...deck/pool side. Far left = peach, on deck = citrumelos and TaiTri (Citsuma just out of shot), down the right = part of my daylily addition...my gateway to plant breeding. Tied up past the daylilies = apple tree in training.

Here is a pic looking towards my front door / front of house. Its a bit fuzzy.
As for citrus, its hard to see but there is a small citrangequat under the banana plants by the porch, and a few seed grown mandarin trees at the end of the deck.
I don't have a pic right now looking OUT of the front door but when I do look out, I can see the two Owari Satsumas, A few of my trifoliate orange trees,etc.
There is a butia capitata (jelly palm) in the foreground, a fig, some cannas, a multitude of potted plants and trees.

Okay, here's the view from my front door (the large oleander tree to the left is obscuring the ocean view, which we can see from our driveway, even though it's about 6 miles away. We get a lovely ocean breeze, but escape most of the marine layer):
Photobucket

And, about 20 steps down my long driveway looking north, up my 1/4 acre slope where I have most of my citrus and avocados (and guavas, papayas, sapotes, mangos, bananas and dragonfruit). Citrange, I feel you pain. Note the TWENTY pound bag of Correy's Snail bait. If I had a slug that big in my yard, I'd faint. Gotta get that fertilizer down:
Photobucket

And now a few more steps down the driveway to look up that slope. You can see the bananas way at the top. Avocados way to the right, and cirtus are all over the slope:
Photobucket

And now I'm turning around and snapping a photo back towards the house. This is a shot of the north side yard. I have a row of about 15 producing olive trees up at the top of the slope that curves around to the back of the yard. I also have about 6 dwarf variegated calomondin trees in front of the metal fence, right along side the driveway. Not sure you can see them well in the photo, but they're there:
Photobucket

And this view is about 1/2 up the slope, looking down at the driveway. You can see a Cocktail in the foreground to the right, a small Late Lane navel, then a small Kiyomi tangor just past it on the left. White guava to the right of the big Phormium. To the left of that big Phormium is an Indio Mandarinquat and you can just peek a view of my Ponkan mandarin on the left edge of the photo, and in the far background of the photo is my lovely Lamb Haas avocado, only one season in the ground, growing like mad and is FULL of lovely little avocados, about 20 to 50 (you can see the corner of my house in the background, too):
Photobucket

And lastly, some lovely Chandler pummelos:
