Pictures of Fruit and Trees, Nov 24

Hurricane Wilma damage evident on large vertical  branch of this mango tree.
We're in the process of grafting a popular variety onto healthy shoots before eliminating damaged wood.

We have one off-season jak fruit.


Two of our mango varieties have small pea-sized fruit.

Mamey sapote... still many months from being ready to pick.

A few sugar apples that might be ready in late December or January.

Very small Sapodilla...probably some will be ready in January.

Two stages of Caimito development.  Fruit should be ready in March.

Miracle fruit with fruit and flowers.

Our own Avocado variety is ready to pick now.

Black Sapote should be ready in December.

November!

Avocados should be available for the entire month.

Atemoya should be available this Saturday, November 2.

Now that mango season is over, we've been busy planting more trees and catching up on projects around the grove.  Sometime soon I'll post some pictures of the progress.

Special Saturday, October 5

We are now only open on Saturdays.... 9am - noon


Special for this Saturday

  • Grafting demonstration... 10 am

  • Pruning small trees demonstration...  9:30 am  and  10:30 am


In the next few weeks we will be potting most of our plants into larger containers.  The cost of plants roughly doubles when in the next size pot. (Another reason to plant now.)

We have a nice inventory of mangos in 3 gallon pots, a few in 7 gallon, and some very nice large trees (25 gallon Keitt, Florigon and Valencia Pride)

Beyond Mango Season

Fruit for sale today include atemoya, avocado, carambola, and a few sapodilla, longan and sugar apple.

Here in the grove we are busy planting new trees and grafting different varieties onto existing trees.
If you have any space to plant something, consider planting a fruit tree.  The sooner the better!





While we were open on Wednesday afternoon, Har demonstrated grafting....

The Last Saturday Mangos of the Season

Saturday will be the last day this year that we will have mangos for sale.  Our last variety is Keitt.

Other fruit include Avocado and Carambola, and a small amount of Atemoya and Longan.  We also will have a few mango fruit roll-ups for sale.

If you have space in your yard or on a patio, consider planting a fruit tree.  We have many plants for sale.

 

Open Saturday, 9-noon

 

 
 
 
 

Another source for mangos ....  I just spoke with Walter and Verna Zill.  They have a small grove east of Bethesda Hospital (about one mile north of us), and they will still have Keitt mangos next week. 

The Zill grove is open every day except Saturday... 737-9419.
