Hello Iām Sam from southeast Georgia. I have a small hobby farm where Iāve raised lots of animals and in the last year or two I have really gotten into growing fruit. Iām currently growing plums, pears, figs, satsuma oranges, apples, blackberries, goji berries, pomegranates, pineapple guava, mulberries and persimmons. Iāve learned a lot from this forum already.

Good to hear
Welcome, Sam!
āAnimalsā are not allowed on this forum. (We DO try to remain as humanly civil as possible.) But canāt resist - What non-human animals do you raise?
I love all of your photos! Especially that āblackā pomegranate! And it looks even lovlier with those lilac-colored blossoms in the background.

Hi everyone, this is Udhay from San Jose. I was bitten by the gardening bug last summer and worked hard to convert out weed-ridden front and backyards to grow some fruit trees. At first, planted some random varieties from local nurseries in the area and gradually learnt more about the process. Became an avid reader of CRFG, gardening discussions in Houzz and other places and followed a couple of very knowledgable contributors (@hoosierquilt, @bleedingdirt, etc) to this forum. Quite a wealth of knowledge here and I am sure Iāll be bothering everyone with my newbie questions soon!

Welcome Udhay.
No bothering at all. We all were newbies at one time. Ask away. In addition to @hoosierquilt (still miss her very much) and @bleedingdirt, we have several other experienced growers from CA. @Richard and @Stan, @castanea came to mind.

Welcome Udhay. Even though our climate varies block to block, it is great to have more Bay Area people on the forum.

Hi my name is Ty. I am a Musa (banana plant) collector and professional researcher. I have over 150 varities of Musa. I also have a few stone fruits, figs, Sugarcane, and other edibles. I am looking for some jujube cuttings (dormant if possible), also blackberry cuttings, and Pom cuttings.
I am from East Texas. I mostly grow outdoors but do have a 30x72x18ā greenhouse custom for Musa production. Look forward to learning and free trades.
