I have lots of Vainiglia Sanguigno. They're all over and under too.

Cara-cara are loaded once again, more than last year's crop.

How about these showy Salustiana. They're like an orange flag up there in the canopy:

Tarocco, Sanguinelli and Moro, are all in there. They haven't turned red yet. They should turn orange first, then red...

thanks Valenciaguy!
So far we had 7 nights of frosts, and didn't bother to protect these, and so far no damages. We could have a total of 21 frosty nights in winter with a full week in the mid-20's.
So far the winter cool down has been very gradual and has hardened my citruses and bananas.
What I really worry about are the sudden arctic blasts in spring time when trees have started their first flush, and then bam! These sudden drop are the most worrisome, and I literally scamper to put covers over my trees. |

Gina if you increase the pot size later, stagewise, you should be able to graft about 5 without a lot of problems. Although you can graft more than that, but I think for me would be ideal.
My current limitation right now is spacing between trees. |

I really do multi-cropping, multi-grafting and planting in 4-Dimensions (Space volume-wise, plus time, through relay cropping). |

Tarocco in front yard, for anyone who wish to enjoy these. They would be surprised if it turned out red in the insides of these wonderful fruits.
