I wish somebody would make me a great breakfast!

Fruit drop is normal and shouldn't cause alarm. If it seems excessive make sure it gets plenty of water and feed it early a tad heavy and then regular feedings after. May I ask what watering system you are using?

BTW pretty trees and thanks for posting the pics.

watering system?

It is a 2 step process... I guess

Water when remember

and

Hose in hand while turning on spicket

I know the pomegranate bush will not keep the buds this season....but the guava has given so many yummy fruits for such a little tree, It is amazing how little I do for that one and how much it gives.

Your rose bush was very bountiful!!! For a laugh I am getting up the nerve to post a photo of mine....

They will return the love that you show them. Post any pics you wish.

I assume the pomegranate was recently planted and that is why you know the fruit will not stay. Shock of a planting often causes fruit loss for a year or even two. I see form the picture that the soil is very dry is why I was asking about the watering system. Thought maybe a drip system was used.

Ohhhh my soil...that is too kind to call it that.haaaa haaaaa.

In our area we are on clay. Dont know why...but

that is the color I think that makes it looks dry.

Plus poms are good in harsh locations right? Look where 5 mentioned where they derive from...and yes she is young...my other pomegranate is older and still just starts to bud then drops. Maybe I am not baby them? Who knows. gonna take more and post...thank you for the invite.

Here is a lemon/lime that always bears fruit. Sorry if the photo came out too small.

Nice color choice with the pot too!!

[Krikit 1,164]

Thanks! That's the same pot I had the variety of bulbs in, which have already flowered and gone. The bulbs are in one of those plastic potting containers and they fit perfectly inside that pot. When I pulled them out I just replaced them with the begonias.

I have an orange tree but maybe I will plant a lime tree. My babe likes limes. Even in the harsh country pomegranates come from they need water and nourishment. A plant will show you love if you give it love. Thanks for the pictures.

Very nice Krikit. Love the pic and I agree the pot looks good with the coloring of the flowers. Beautiful.

Thanks so much, Txn!

When I lived in FL, the neighbours across the street had a tree which produced grapefruit, lemons, and oranges! I think limes may have been on there too. It was one of those trees where they'd grafted all kinds of citrus fruits together and it was as healthy as anything. I was allowed to pick whatever I wanted, so that was pretty awesome. They also had banana trees in their back yard but those died in one of the hurricanes. Looking forward to moving back so I can have an amazing garden like that.

That is amazing. My Grandma also would graft citrus trees. She also grafted roses and other things. She did teach me how to do it but that was decades ago. Maybe I will try it out now that I am getting more time since I am settling down.
