Crop Report

These are our plums. The plum tree we planted the same time as the grapefruit tree (more than six years ago) is now giving us fruit for the third year in a row.

The season for this tree is brief and what you see is what you get - one big juicy batch of small and sweet plums. They are very tasty.

We also planted an apricot tree at that time. That tree gave us fruit this year as well but it was gone before we could enjoy them. The tree is planted out front near the sidewalk and it got picked clean by people walking by when they saw the fruit. Unfortunately, the apricots were still a week or two away from being ripe so we never got to find out how they were.

The grapefruit tree turned out to be a winner. It gave us fruit well into April and I finally picked the last one sometime in May. They were very good too. The tree is about six feet tall and the fruit were about baseball-sized.
