Pineapple garden
I've gotten many pineapple plants in pots. I don't expect any of them will fruit the coming summer because all plants are relatively immature.
Meyer lemon
The Meyer lemon tree has grown a lot since her extreme prune. I have been trying to keep her from flowering so that she can put her energy towards growing limbs.
Seedling tangerines
I was looking for my blog yesterday, and I realize that I haven't posted much about my seeping tangerines.it seemed to me that the ceiling tangerines ahead and grown much. However when looking at the blogs, I see that the one, the tallest, has gotten bushier.A couple of weeks ago I repotted both tangerines just in case they needed more room for their roots to grow. I don't have any fruit yet or flowers perhaps one day.
Citrus kinokuni mukakukishu a.k.a Kishu
My curiosity got the better of me. I went out and picked one of my tiny tangerines.The tangerine was extremely fragrant. I peeled it. The skin was very thin and leathery.The fruit contain three seeds. The flesh was orange and juicy. However, the fruit was very tart. I think it's not ripe yet. I'll have to try another at the end of October.

Could It Be Kishu?
My little tangerine tree is loaded with teeny fruit. I had thought they might get bigger, but it doesn't seem likely. The fruits are smaller than a ping pong ball but larger than a marble. The color is changing in the fruits, so they should be ripe soon. Perhaps they'll grow a little larger.

Mystery Dragon fruit
Well I have no idea what this is. Today I'm leaning towards hylocereus guatemalensis, I.e American Beauty or Bien Hoa Red.
Seedling Dragon Fruit
This seedling fruit survived in the winter. She is the only seedling left. I am not sure if it is red or white.
Physical Graffiti
This pitaya plant was the only piece of hylocereus that survived through the winter. On the spring, I found a 5- inch piece of physical graffiti still alive and trying to grow. I cut off the dead portion and put the cutting in a pot. It is growing nicely.
Delight Dragon fruit
The delight hylocereus is growing. The plant has been a slow grower thus far. I hope this last growth flush results in a long, strong, and healthy limb.
