What was that new thing you tried that didn’t work out or will need some perfecting? My apricots produce heavy once in a lifetime practically but they are huge and beautiful. Can’t count all of my experiments in fruit growing I’ve done over the years! A friend brought up my acre of strawberries the other day. Got buried in strawberries once! The thing I learned was strawberries like an inch of water every week. Like my kiwi experiment it ended during the drought. My honeyberries and currants burned up in the sun. My akebia never produced fruit or got very big. My maypop died quickly like most of my jujubes, pomegranate, ponserous trifoliata. My figs were finally killed last year when I was extremely sick and not able to cover them with a truck load of wood chips. Save yourself some trouble in Kansas grow blackberries, pears, black raspberries , concord grapes , Reliance peaches, pawpaw, persimmon and jujube hardy to this area!
Do you have a post about your in ground N. Zeland lemonade tree?
I have tried so many things that failed, that it’s not even funny. But it doesn’t stop me! I’m still learning and trying new things! 
No But I can say it was a gift that came on C#% rootstock and the greenhouse used 4 layers of glass. The heating system failed on a 0 degree night and it took cambium killing damage. The fruits ripened and the tree died. The 2 inground meiwa kumquats in the same greenhouse were undamaged.
I cut down my Reliance peach tree. It was a crapper. So, there is just no telling what people will like. The other day at the CO OP I told a peach buyer to get some white peaches. He said he didn’t like white peaches. OK, that’s fine. I have lots of white peach trees, and I like them, so that is all that counts.
I’m always trying new things. But I try to research things well enough beforehand, so it is absolutely not a waste of time.
