The multi flavored popsicle trees are all the rage this year, they excel in freezing weather! I hear they are an ant magnet once temperatures warm though!

Guess we better try a few flavors and get used to eating them during the winter.

I am picking up a bag of the cheap ones from dollar general tonight. I am going to plant them in peat pots. I donāt much care for them but they should make good rootstock.

Iām thinking, that in my zone I would have better luck with the Popsicle tree. I am partial to citrus so orange would be my choice.
For the mallow tree I might give it a go, I think I have some mini colour heritage varieties still in the bottom of my freezer.

I was thinking about getting a marshmallow tree, but decided to save up for an M&M tree instead.
Its great for organic growing, since itās completely no-spray. The hard-candy shell makes the fruit impervious to insects and other diseases.
Itās a great choice for the Deep South, too, since the fruit melts in your mouth and not in your hand.

The worst thing about the M&M tree is you canāt propagate it under that name as it is trade marked. You will have to come up with a catchy name like candy lentil tree.

Darned club candy trees are worse than patented types! Seems like the club candy trees are producing the fruits everyone wants like snickers, mounds, almond joy to name a few. Just between us I planted a bunch the other day. I found an entire sack of seeds on this porch on October 31st and as crazy as it sounds the sign on the seeds said help yourself. I realized they had to many seeds so I loaded those sacks up. Some ornery kids were trying to catch me yelling that the candy was for them but I saw theyā were carrying sacks full already so I yelled back for them to quit being greedy. The weird part was that they were trying to scare me into giving them my candy seed dressed as wearwolves and vampires.

Thatās the strangest thing Iāve ever heard. The only weirder thing you could tell me is that they chased you into your house then rang the doorbell demanding the booty. Honestly, if that happened, I probably would have given them the loot for fear of what trick they might have done next.

The trees cost a fortune so I will send you some scion wood. Just donāt tell everyone because itās a new tree and it did not grow much last year. The leaves look just like an elm tree and it was on sale for $800 But the guy I bought it from went out of business because I guess he was selling them to cheap. Once mine fruited he sold me half a dozen more. I was really lucky to catch him before he went out of business. Even the police like him they were around looking for him yesterday. Hereās part of my crop itās like they were glued on the tree there were so many!

Although not exactly a fruit, here is a video of how almond farmers milk the nuts.
