We picked most of the Hachiya persimmons today. A couple of big bully grackles started thrashing through the branches and tearing at the fruit. I've never seen them here in our part of the Willamette Valley before. We left the top most fruits, but the small resident birds who usually feed on them in late December will find a bare cupboard.

Here we are on 14 November (Zone 9A, Southern AZ) and my Black Jack fig is LOADED with figs still ripening. This is it's first year producing and it has exploded. I just wish it would give me more than 1 or 2 ripe at a time. I'm sure next year it'll be pumping them out regularly. These things are the size of racquetballs

This is a young Dolgo crabapple tree. I highly recommend for spring bloom, summer fruit, and fall color. It makes delicious rosy red crabapple jelly. I flavored these small jars with fresh lavender.

Not much of a red plum.
I never seem to get a lot.

Gardener hivemind: Re: Fruit trees

I planted two 2-year-old Bartlett pear trees a year ago to revive our orchard. One didn’t survive - our tree guy says it was probably root-bound in the pot from the grower. The other was gorgeous and healthy, leafed out and growing until a porcupine stripped it naked overnight this August. It broke my heart because it had one wee pear on it! Branches were broken from the beast crawling all over it, all the leaves stripped off, and nothing green left.

Question: Is there anything I can do to help it recover? I am watering it every two weeks as the summer has been brutally dry, and I give it liquid seaweed/fish fertilizer once a month. It’s mulched with shredded bark mulch, but clear right beside the trunk.

The porcupine also stripped a 40-year-old Bosc pear tree, and two hardy cherry trees. It reminds me of what is happening to the good things in the world that people spent decades building, only to be hollowed out almost overnight by careless, selfish people…

Anyway…trees. Any advice is helpful.

My tomarilo dwarf tree (also known as tree) is starting to produce fruit I have not been expecting it since it's supposed to take 3 years before it starts to produce fruit if you grow it from seed. But I guess this tropical plant loves my yard
I don't think the fruit will be ripened before snow, but hopefully it will. I am very excited to try it. It's supposed to have tangy and sweet, with a complex flavor, and may be compared to mix of kiwi, tomato, guava and passion fruit

P.s. sorry for the not in focus picture. I was just too excited and it was way too hot outside for me to try and get more pictures 🫠

Woah! It's not often you get to see fig seeds developing.

A fig with damaged skin reveals pollen stamens inside the bottom indent. Bulbs of nutrients are forming around tiny seeds packed inside. A bonus ladybug is on the left side of the fig.

Bottom of an undamaged fig for reference. You can see the star-shaped indent where it pollen stamens are. The fig's skin completely encloses the developing seeds inside.

A fig, cut in half, on a blue plate. There are lots of squiggly threads, each ending in a seed pod. Juicy fruit flesh is between each thread. Figs depend on birds and animals eating the fruit to spread their seeds far and wide. Don't eat too many figs, or your digestive system may backfire!

#solarpunk achievement: just exchanged 1/2kg of our tomatoes for 1kg of our neighbours plums from their over laden tree.

#gardening #FruitTree #community

so not long after we moved here a neighbour offered plants for the digging from his yard because they were going to gut the house and lawn and rebuild everything

i picked up a few things including a little ornamental plum

"don't worry, it's just ornamental, it doesn't fruit"

not for him maybe

normally the raccoons get them all but this year i guess they're out of fashion, so on a whim i grabbed one and it's

FUCKING DELICIOUS ACTUALLY

apparently they don't change colour as they ripen, they're still green when ripe but

dang

tasty

*Impossible* not to accidentally shake the branches, causing a plum deluge (mostly into the bramble thicket underneath!)

#TGIF Just before light rain started, we had a yard time. My fig tree, for the first time since it was planted some 14 years ago, bore fruits to an edible stage. Figs always fell while they were green. Not my favorite fruit, but I ate two and pretty good. I could see birds have eaten some.
Tired, and so is Kengo (from what?).
Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.

While I'm here: photos of fruit from the previous fruiting season. The first two are from the tree in the last two photos in the previous post. Shannon and I ate a lot off that tree, they taste sweet and slightly of berries. Shannon ate eight in one sitting and her regular IBS issues were alleviated.

The second two photos show a fruit from the tree in the carpark next to the bin in the first post. I can't tell if it is a caprifig or not, the fruit looks much more edible than one would expect from a caprifig, though I wasn't game to try it because it looked a bit dry around the edges and I get scared easily. Could it be an incredibly rare kind of edible caprifig? If so I shall become a millionaire selling $200 cuttings to fig freaks on ebay. Stay tuned.

More fig trees: the first is a photo of a caprifig turning a lovely warm brown, the last two are a tree I thought might be a seedling (lots of branches/trunks emerging from a point in the middle, no signs of previous pruning), but on closer inspection I noticed in the centre there was a stump that had been cut back to the ground and the branches where springing from around it - so potentially a very old variety someone failed to remove! Exciting stuff.

Fig tree branches clustered around a very low trunk surrounded by soursobs.

I have been on various expeditions recently to collect fig cuttings from feral figs I've come across in my travels, to great success. There's a lot out there if u go looking (and also are not afraid to jump fences on occasion, or lean just a little bit into people's backyards). In particular there's an empty lot in Glynde where there are 5 fig trees and a couple other fruit trees. This lot is likely to be demolished sometime in the next year or so, so I'm glad I got to rescue them and put them in the hands of the Rare Fruit Society's collection - particularly the very yummy honey fig which I turned into jam last summer.

If anyone else has spotted some figs around, please let me know! Even if you've tried them and decided they are inedible, it may be that that tree is a caprifig (which provides pollen to improve other figs), or a fig that is reliant on pollination to be edible. Also if anyone's grandparents have fig trees that they brought in from other countries before biosecurity laws got more strict, please share!

The first three photos are of caprifigs, the last is unknown as to what type of fig tree it is.
