Awesome, Russell!! As for your final line, my address is……[/quote]
Thanks, The oranges are so good and are actually one of the easiest things to care for. When they are blooming massively, walking in the pefume and watching the bee show can be pleasantly intoxicating…and it’s legal.[/quote]
Many years ago, I resided in the San Joaquin Valley for about 16 months. We rented a suburban tract house with a teensy back yard, but the owner had made the most of it with creative landscaping. Large patio covered with a lovely grape arbor, and small (5″ x 5″) patches filled with flowing shrubs, fruit trees, and a variety of gorgeous roses. I was constantly pruning (something I only have to do 2x/yr here).
We had a wonderful hybrid lemon tree. The fruit was huge (navel orange size) and a very deep yellow color. Had a tangerine aroma, and made the best lemonade. I’d have hundreds on the tree, primarily November through February, and didn’t have to lift a finger except to pick them. I used to pack a suitcasefull when I’d return to Philly to visit my family. Almost makes me cry when I think of that tree when I have to buy lemons here – 75 cents or a buck for a puny flavorless yellow Nerfball.
