@Carld, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your orchard pics with us. You have some really nice fruit varieties among the best and you’re so lucky because of where you liven the best climate for growing fruits besides California but also because a lots of the fruit varieties that you have they are not available elsewhere only there. Cheers!!!

[Carld]

Thanks @Ruben

Quick walkaround my orchard today.
All mulberries are leafing and fruiting… yeaaaah
The silk hope graft on morus planatifolia still budding out, lets see if its a success. The other one seems dead…
Atemoya tree fully dead. Wont try that one again.

Sunflower paw paw i planted last year, wilted through the season and lost all leaves and i thought was dead but is budding out!!!

[Luisport]

My sunflower pawpaw is already full of flowers. I will post photos on my thread tomorrow. But your is looking good! Congratulations!

[Carld]

[ammoun]

I can’t wait for some taste reviews! They look amazing and I agree I think it’s still not evident that the graft took.

[Carld]

Hope it takes!!! My only silk hope chance:/

My only silk hope chance:/

For now

My potted 2 White Pakistan and 4 dark Pakistan Mulberries are giving me 5 fruits per node. I definitely have to net them when they are starting to turn pink down the road to keep the birds away.

[Carld]

Very nice @tonyOmahaz5 :)))
Cant wait for mine to start ripen

[Ruben]

Hi Tony,

What size of pots do you have your mulberries on?

Thanks

[tonyOmahaz5]

20 gallons

[Carld]

Silk hope graft done in early march, only survival. Do you think it will take?

First partially mature mulberries from the Portugal variety planted this year. Once the tree gets established it should get much much bigger fruits

. Gelso nero (italian variety planted last year) - it was my favourite last year in the first crop. I think i"ll have an abundant crop this year also… look at the clusters of fruit

All the others are fruiting also, some quite heavily also

[Carld]

More fruits on the Portugal Mulberry

[Luisport]

Today i eat my first mulberry fruits of the year… good ones.
