ripening fruit, early May; ~40 fruits; appears excessive for a 1.5" dia trunk small canopy, but tree fruit appear good so far; nevertheless wanting tree to grow larger, we probably want to cull a few more next time; harvested all fruits May 23 leaving for trip - delicious;

ripening fruit, early May; ~80 fruits; appears an excessive number for a 1.25" dia trunk, but tree fruit appear good so far; canopy is large but many 1/8" dia. branchlets carrying 6-10 fruits each seems excessive (we saw one break); this (and wanting larger tree, larger fruits) suggests we cull a few more next time; harvest over late May - delicious except some fruits had a little astringency; we think too many fruits for the size tree

harvested 1 fruit, immature, perhaps it was knocked off the tree accidentally; flowering big late May

harvested 1 fruit late May, which felt softer than usual, less green and more yellow under skin when scratched, and separated from the stem easily, without latex - so very delicious! Deep brown color and toffee-like flavor, we think; flowering big late May

flowering/leafing late Jan, early Feb

ate 2 fruits in early Jan harvested in Nov and kept on kitchen windowsill - sweet but maybe sweeter if harvested later

beginning to appear that oldest plants are declining

flowering rather continuously thru winter due to La Nina we think; we were concerned that fall/winter flowers would be it for the year so we allowed fruiting but fruit were unpapatable and given continuous flowering after that, we now plan to remove all fall/winter flowers expecting to get more in spring.

#2 almost killed & #3 lost one of two trunks by severe trunk disease;

culled most fruit, leaving 6 late Apr; propped up large branch; giant stink bugs on branches seem to drill holes in branch, then white powder surrounds branch around hole with darkening of bark but branch does not die or even show any signs of stress; terminating the stink bugs;

removed dead leaves from all plants mid Apr; plant that overwintered fruit rack declined before rack matured so we cut stem and planted rack in pot Apr 17;

flowering early Mar

leafing is nearly continuous but mid Mar we notice secondary branching

potted cutting leafed out with many fruits; leafing continues, #1 mid Mar, with many more buds than last year - adding to a long list of indicators that our new strategy of wild ground cover and wider watering is working
