Almost forgot. This is the California Gold banana Gina sent me a couple months ago. Already has 4 pups and is over the roof of the garage. I believe it is a offspring from JoeReals plant.

I used to remember seeing a house back there on your lot just a few months ago. You may need to invest in a good machete to clear a path to get to your front door! Nice work Laaz!


Hey G. Let me know the next time your heading this way.

Will do Laaz. I should be around by Christmas/New Years time frame. I will try and bring a piece of my true Peruvian cactus apple and maybe limau limo too.

Yes Ivan it is rather quick, but citrus planted in the ground grows much quicker than in containers. I have two ruby red grapefruit that will be five years from seed in November. They look like they could fruit any time now.

Laaz I noticed that you have a miricle fruit tree. I have been thinking about getting one. Can you tell what you like and don't like about it? And do you know where a good place online to purchase one is?

Yes, it makes sour taste sweet but it is an odd type of sweet. It is not just like adding sugar. It is definitely more of a novelty than something to eat every day.

Hey Laaz, how is the Yuko coming along? I've read some interesting stories about Yuko. Apparently they get pretty large. This is an interesting variety.

Funny - I was reading this thread and saw the picture of the yuko, and was about to ask the same question for the same reason! Very Happy
