North Moku Still Mostly Green

[1voyager1]

Got back in to look my place over today.
Pleasantly surprised that it is still looking fairly good.
Some areas of the lawn were showing signs of yellowing,
central areas away from surrounding vegetation.
Orchids were stressed, but in better shape than I had hoped for.
Some may be lost, though.

Fruit trees were surprisingly in quite good shape.
Except that the one avo that had set fruit was quickly dropping them.
Citrus looked much better than I had hoped for, but look to have dropped all their fruit.
The two dwarf papaya seedlings I picked up at last year's orchid show had ripe fruit on them.
They are picked and sitting in the kitchen right now.
They still have more green fruit on them.
Is it possible that the SO2 has adversely affected their taste?

One problem with fruit set may be SO2 kill-off of the neighborhood honey bees.
I had begun to get ready to put in a couple of hives at my place when someone else in the area did so.
I got a fairly good setting of fruit last season from whoever's [whomever's ?] bees they were.
They traveled to and from the NE from our place.

A lot of my bananas have bloomed and set fruit.
They will be ripening in the not too distant future.
The bananas look to be almost as immune to things as the Ohias are.

Our Longan almost set fruit this season, but opted for a weak batch of leaves instead,
quickly followed by a second much healthier batch.
It's losing a lot of leaves but still looks to be surviving.

If and when I get moved back in, I'm again planning to set up an aviary or two.
Lava be damned.

That concludes the North Moku agricultural report.
