air layered tangerine

The air layer tangerine is very vigorous. I hope to see fruit in the next year or two. Meanwhile I still have the original plant.  It's about six foot tall.  Maybe the original plant will produce fruit this year.  She's getting too tall to keep in the green house, in the house, or on the porch.  I'll have to chop her back or put her in the ground.

Over-wintering

I've got a variety of over-wintering strategies in effect: plants in the house, plants on the porch, plants in the greenhouse, and plants covered with hay.

Delight dragon fruit

The delight plant has really plumped up. The new branch is growing nicely.

Pineapples

Here are my more mature pineapple plants.  No sign of fruit.  I hope they don't wait until winter to fruit like the last plant did.  The fruit does not grow well without sunlight.

Avocados

The trees are growing still. No fruit yet.

Physical Graffiti

The plant is growing quickly.  Perhaps it will reach the top of the trellis by the end of the month.

Physical Graffiti and Other Hylocereus

The physical graffiti is growing rapidly.  She has doubled her length since she arrived.  I hope the stem continues to grow up to or past the top of the trellis.  If so, I will prune her to stimulate side branches.  I would love for her to produce a fruit or two this summer.

The other dragon fruit are doing well.  The delight cutting has not grown a side stem yet.  None-the-less it is plump and looks healthy.
