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

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.
