Cocktail fruit trees - Single fruit tree with multiple fruits
Comments (15)Doan's nursery in Belt line road in Irving has many cocktail fruit trees. I would suggest to check this nursery for fruit trees, flowering plants and tropical plants. Be prepared to wait to get help and also make sure that you are getting the right plants because many of the plants don't have labels/pricing. I also noticed that many fruit trees are from California growers, so not sure how they would grow in DFW. Moreover, they do not give any kind of warranty to the trees....See Moreespalier fruit trees- Tree addict with no more room
Comments (4)This is an idea I've been toying with. I have a very small yard, and because my neighbors have a lot of mature trees, only a limited amount of it gets good sun. Naturally, the largest sunny planting area I have is a long west-facing block fence. I've been thinking of putting grapes along there, and possibly apples, although I was told that apples would likely fry in the summer heat. I'm tempted to try anyway, since we eat a lot of apples, but maybe I'm crazy!...See MoreYou know you are a tropical fruit growing addict when....
Comments (10)Ethan, right now I'm agonizing over the inside of my greenhouse! I'm at a point where the plants I was going to put into the ground either need to "go" into the ground or a larger and final container. A big part of me wants them in the ground but man it will be a lot of work! I'll get some pics to you later....See MoreAnyone addicted to fruit trees?
Comments (76)I bought a house with a backyard that is a former 60 years old citrus grove, one of the reasons I bought this specific house. The north part of the grove was Washington Navels and the south part was Valencia. The original home owners planted Minneola Tangelo and a Pink Blush Grapefruit, now 40 years old. Originally I was working on restoring it to look like the grove it once was but now I"m adding enough that it will look different as I have too many trees to fit. It originally had about 18 full size 20' diameter trees but I'm adding a few different varieties and have 58 original trees plus trees planted plus trees in pots to plant. WAY too many so one 100' side is now going to be Espaliered citrus along the wall. Still have 6-7 in pots in the front walk. Another 5 different Avocados. Just grapefruit: Pink Blush, Duncan, Oro Blanco, Melogold, Rio Red, Valentine, Cocktail, Chandler Pomello. Of course, this many trees in drought stricken SoCal is a problem so I now am working on 1920 gallon rain water recovery and grey water recovery system. In the meantime, I have 8 42 gallon trash cans in the inside roof corners that get filled each rainstorm so I water with almost all rainwater recovery. I'm not addicted, really!...See Moremrsg47
