I’m passionate about unusual fruits, native plants, and growing my own food. My plant ambitions probably exceed the limits of my city lot…

In addition to plants, I love fish and fishing. My job (which I love) is managing spatial data for the local water company. I enjoy geeking out about maps and spatial analysis. Yes, my orchard plan is to scale.

Persimmons - Prok, JT-02/Mikkusu, Chuchupaka, Chinebuli (potted)
Apples - Harrison (more to come)
Peaches - Redhaven
Apricots - Tomcot
Asian Pears - Korean Giant, 20th Century
