I always get a little flush of fall plum blossoms. This is on my Flavor Grenade. Maybe 100 or so blooms.
Some on my Weeping Santa Rosa and some on Beauty and Shiro grafted branches.

Finally got a bit of that moldy looking blue grey color on one of my late forming Black Futsu.
None of mine were warty at all. I’ll try a different seed source next year.
All of my late fruit are small. They’ll eat the same though!

First Red Roselle flower of the year. Just in time as I just made my last batch of white roselle jam.

Can the tropical types of hibiscus be hybridized with the perrennial ones?
3 Likes
Not typically, although its not impossible. Typically it has low succes rate. I am trying to cross Roselle with Cranberry Hibisicus, which is a a more tropical “hardy” type, although a more cold tolerent Roselle is not what I am doing that for.

I can say cranberry hibiscus I thought would come back here. It did not, and the trunk on mine was larger than my 4 year old peach tree. So I did not propagate dozens this year like I did in the past. Not sure how hardy it is, but me covering them in hay straw did not lead to “perennial” in the obx of NC.

Cocona on there way! I have no idea how long these are supposed to take to ripen, but the fuzz on one of the fruits seems to be falling off. Maybe thats a sign that it is soon? They are bigger than I thought they’d be. Pretty excited to try one soon.

Moringa with a rogue winter flower.
Miracle fruit with its normal winter flowers. It has a bunch of clusters just like this. If it gets regular water, it typically gives a good amount of fruit.

Those look great! Are they a lot like Concord?
there’s a few dozen sunflowers out there, just finishing up in time for the Halloween kids to pick a few.

My moringa is still flowering a lot. The cooler weather is starting to arrive now though so I’m sure it will start slowing down soon.
The necklace pod just looks so cool.
Lots of bananas on the way. Two bunches at the same time on one tall namwa, one bunch on the mystery banana and the dwarf orinoco (not pictured) has one bunch and another about to come out. I might be the most excited about the fuzzy pink bananas

Yellow-green goes to golden and the fruity fragrance gets powerful. Usually, my garden customers pineapples and citrus would go through light freezes without damage to the fruit.

My Ghost pepper plant. I think it’s a Ghost pepper or a Reaper, I picked it up at Lowes on a whim, and don’t remember which.
Pink Lady in the middle and GoldRush on both sides. The smaller GoldRush on the right are probably going to become pie. They have sooty blotch and fly speck out the ass. But it mostly wipes off and doesn’t taste like much of anything to me. I like sour stuff, so maybe I’m desensitized, but GoldRush tastes like a really good Golden Delicious (I know it’s one of GR’s parents) with great crunch, sweet, and spicy off the tree. The Pink Ladys have about the same texture as the store ones, but are much sweeter and got a stronger blush.

Little leftover peanut flowers. I had some peanuts sprouting when I picked them so I just left them in the soil and now they are flowering. Don’t expect them to make it through winter.
Pigeon peas starting to flower. I plan on picking more green this year because we just don’t use dry beans that often.

my first citrus fruit, kimbrough satsuma:
peeled and sectioned well. was basically insipid with a little sour on the front that dissipated. ill give it a break since its the first fruit produced on the tree. there is one more still on the small tree:
i also have one fruit on my owari:
my citrus have been brought in for the winter after spending a week or so in the garage because of low overnight temps and needing to find space for them.
