I thought I would post some new pictures as I have not posted for a while and have some new trees planted.

The first three are some citrus planted along the driveway right up against a fence with the intention of trying espalier them. So far they have not grown much but limbs have been tied up against the fence in hopes of encouraging them to spread out. I have been battling mites and leafminers on these ever since planting them.

Here is a Bears lime the oldest tree.

Next is the Morro Blood Orange

The third and final tree is a Meyer Lemon.

Here are some more citrus and other fruit pictures. It is hard to get decent pictures as everything is filling in and blocking the field of view.

The first is the Owari Satsuma, which is a very productive tree especially given its small size. It has been there for 10+ years and now produces lots of fruit even in the light years.

Next is the Eureka Lemon which always has some insect pests on it. It is 10+ years old as well. I just pruned it to keep the height down but it is still quite productive.

The last citrus is the 2 in 1 Orange. It has a navel and some other orange on it which is good for orange juice. We have mature fruit on it for 7-8 months out of the year.

Next are some other fruit trees starting with avocados.

Here is the Hass. It had a large crop of small avocados this year. I think something is wrong with its root system as it does not grow much and often wilts.

Here is the Littlecado or Wurtz. I had this one in a pot for years where it bloomed but never fruited. This year it had its first good crop of 50+ avocados on it after having it for 11 years. Last year was the first for it to fruit with 6 avocados.

Next is a potted Bacon avocado that I got to help polinate the Littlecado. It has 18 avocados last count on it for next year.

Last is a ~4 year old seedling I hope to plant in ground.

Here is the Anna Apple with nearly mature fruit, flowers, and leaves at the same time.

Last is the coffee plant. It survived its first winter! It has some flower buds on it so hopefully it will fruit.

Thanks for looking

I couldn't notice the difference between your moro and meyer lemon pictures. So I took a better look and found that you've accidentally put the same link for two of those. Otherwise, some very very nice plants! Very Happy

Igor

EDIT: Forgot to say that I've changed the link for you.

Thanks for fixing the link. Sometimes I think I copied it when in reality I had not.
