Ambrosia pomegranate - a year and a half old
Kent mango and a seedling mango from Doug planted in the same hole
Another seedling mango gotten from Patrick (polyembryonic - 3 trees from 1 seed)
Guava - unknown from Doug
Seedling avocado from Doug
2 Taninung papayas and 2 maradol papayas
Atemoya (48-26)

Mangoes, guava, avocado Atemoya were all planted end of Oct 2009

In front of of the bananas are the kent and seedling in one hole

Polyembryonic seedling mango are 3 feet or so away

[Troys123]

These are the Tainungs (2) of them in the back and the Maradol mex. papayas (2) in the front (These gets full sun from maybe 12:30 -3:30- 4pm or so?

In front of those is the seedling avocado


The avocado gets mostly filtered sun

1st small plant you see is the Atemoya , guava is to the left and next
is the Avocado

BTW all these are planted under the cover of my Mesquite tree
I am thinking this tree will help w/ the Frost if any , it sure does help also w/ the heat providing filtered sun.
The mangoes , bananas, papayas and the pomegranate get the most sun Atemoya , guava and avocado gets the filtered sun.

Good thing is i control how much sun this area gets . I can climb in my mesquite and prune away or not as much as i want.

MORE PICS of the Tainung papayas and the Maradol (Notice the aVOCADO IN FRONT OF THOSE) Need to somehow get this grafted come spring
Plan to plant some grapes or veges against the back wall.
Starting to amend my hard clay back there

Maybe a low chill cherry (Dwarf variety) in the future

Great looking plants Mike. One day perhaps we can trade for a Dwarf Orinoco Banana. Keep up the great work!
