Favorite Fruit trees
Comments (26)Hi Ariel. I have tropic beauty peach trees. They are easier to grow than I thought they would be. Try a couple as one is just not enough :) Plums do well here also. I noticed no one recommended sugar apples. I love my sugar apples, the fruit is great and the plants don't take that much room. I would also recommend figs. I have a few varieties but only a noid and black turkey are large enough to have produced fruit. They do really well in containers. I sent you an email about shipping your plant, did you get it? Are you ready for me to ship?...See MoreName your favorite veggie or fruit
Comments (36)Lou - The taste and size of the vines are completely different, also kabocha type of oriental winter squash is almost always hybrids. I really like them both for different purpose. I grew several kabocha type this season and my favorites were the delica and sweet dumpling. On the native american heirlooms my favorite is the seminole, but the vines use a lot of space it is also very productive and if that is the only squash that you grow, you can save seeds. I also grew this season the lakota squash, while it has very good flavor, it is not productive in our weather conditions, it probably does great in other places. Seminole pumpkin is almost twice the size of the delica, the delica also has some warts. Seminole Lakota Christine - I bought the delica from the Kitazawa company, they mostly sell hybrids, so I don't think I will be saving seed from the unknown, it is very productive! Ebackman - Thank you, you have to update the zone on your profile, this way we can advice you better. While it is too late for my zone 9b near Orlando, in your zone it might be right on time. Did you said you are near Tampa? If so, maybe Tom can say when he plant his. If you are going to do containers or ground it does matter. My favorite for flavor is the costata romanesco, this one will do well in a raised bed or amended soil, it gets too big for a pot. The butterstick is also good flavor with the advantage that you can grow in a pot. Everybody should also grow at least one winter squash, they are very versatile and keep well, because I don't have too much space I prefer the compact vines. This way I have space available to grow other veggies for the table. I like to see all the colors in my plate.:) Silvia...See Moretell me about your favorite pest and disease proof fruit trees!
Comments (28)Thanks for all the feedback. Here are some of the trees/fruit crops varieties I am considering planting. I'll have to narrow this down, of course. Or will I? muhuhahahaha.... CHERRY (2) - Lapins, Sweetheart (I said I wasn't into cherries, but then I saw some pictures of them and they mad me hungry so I changed my mind) APRICOT (3) - Harglow, Puget Gold, Westley (too late?), Tlor-tsiran??? PEACH (3) - Avalon Pride, Blazingstar, HW 272 sound like the best three. Other choices might include Charlotte, Contender, Harbelle, Harrow Diamond, Juneprince, Mary Jane, Oregon Curl-Free, Q 1-8, Redstar, Reliance, Starfire, Veteran? NECTARINE (2) - Fantasia?, Hardired, Kreibich, Harko? PLUM (3) - sounds like a lot of them do fine here, but my top 3 are probably Beauty, Hollywood, Shiro APPLE (5) - Akane, September Wonder/Jubilee, Chehalis, Honeycrisp, Liberty, Pristine, William's Pride PEAR (4) - Bartlett (have to have a Bartlett), Blake's Price, Moonglow, Orcas, Rescue ASIAN PEAR (3) - (still deciding) Shinseiki for sure. Others.... Nijesseiki, Chojuro, Shinko, Mishirasu, Hamese? RASPBERRIES (and relatives) - Autumn Bliss, Caroline, Summit, Tulameen, Boysenberry, Marionberry, Tayberry, Thornless Loganberry, Willamette BLUEBERRIES (I will plants lots, they do great in Sequim) - Berkeley, Bluecrop, Little Giant, Olympia, Sunshine, Top Hat, Toro KIWIFRUIT - Exbury (sounds like the earliest ripening fuzzy type), Saanichton (will it ripen?), male fuzzy, 74/49, Ken's Red, Ananasnaya, Meader, Geneva, male arguta GRAPES - Agria, Campbell's Early??? (will it ripen?), Canadice, Einset?, Interlaken Seedless, Jupiter?, Lynden Blue (sounds like a winner), Madeline Angevine (wine), Price, Regent, Reliance, Valiant?, Vanessa FIG - Atreano, Desert King, Lattarula, Stella?, Vashon Violet/Brunswick OLIVE - Arbequina, Mission CHESTNUT - I want to plant two or three but they are big trees. Lots to choose from on the Burnt Ridge Nursery web site. PISTACHIO - Uzbek (I'm sure that won't work but I have to try...LOL anyways it's hardy and the flowers are cool) ALMOND - All in one, HallÂs Hardy, Reliable, Dessertiny (Bounty?) PINEAPPLE GUAVA - Nikita (sounds like the earliest ripening one), a pollinator Some other things like mulberries aren't out of the question.... we'll see. I don't want to get too carried away just yet. I also have to be careful of not planting things that need a lot of heat or ripen too late. Apparently I only get about 1400 growing degree days in an average season....See MoreWhat is your favorite Fruit Tree and Non Fruiting Tree ?
Comments (11)My favorite fruiting tree is Meyer lemon, mainly because I use more lemons than any other fruit. It is difficult to pick just one. The fig trees from Texas that I had in Venice produced the sweetest fruit of any fruit tree that I've had, but the season is not that long, and it got hot in the kitchen when I made fig preserves, which I mostly gave away. I also love my blood orange tree and cherimoya. Favorite non-fruiting tree is Ceiba speciosa (Silk floss tree), which makes beautiful pink flowers in the fall and has a very interesting spiked trunk....See MoreBradybb WA-Zone8
