Thanks for the warm welcome. This forum seems friendly and active so far.

Here's a pic of my Washington Navel in a side yard:

The flavor is really great right now.

Thanks David! I'm pretty happy with my list so far. The pink lemonade has been a bit of a dud up to now, but it seems to be setting a fair amount of fruit so far this year. I'm hoping that it has turned a corner. If I had to "shoehorn" in one more variety it would be Gold Nugget Mandarin.

That would be an excellent addition, though looking at your regions yearly temperature range, you could add a moro blood orange and probably get the famous deep red-purple color and berry taste if you wanted something different. Luck you! Over here in Texas I rarely get enough sustained cold to provide the deep color.

Your kishu and page, excellent choices. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Good stuff!

David
