Updates on what?
The earliest any avos I have that will be ready is next fall/winter.
it is a wait and see game now.
But, I'm not confident that I'll have much to go on next season.
Between the copious rain this winter/spring, then the SO2, and not seeing but a very few bees around, and not seeing any set fruit still on the Sharwl or the Ota, I don't think it's likely they'll bear next year.
Plus, the Lamb-Hass is dropping the small growing fruit [even faster since the SO2 fog].
It looks as if someone threw a bunch of large black olives around under the tree.
I'm not expecting much in the line of home-grow'd avos next season.
Hopefully I may be surprised.
I think I just missed getting the Longan to flower this last winter/spring.
Somewhere in Jan/Feb/Mar it began a feeble growth spurt that produced a very few leaves.
I was hoping that it might produce flowers, but no.
Right afterwards, much sooner than normal, another growth spurt began and quickly produced many new leaves and limb extension.
I'm thinking that the feeble growth spurt was an attempt to flower.
I'm hoping that next year it will finally bear fruit, if we survive the lava and SO2.
I'm thinking about trying the old "potassium chlorate" trick to induce flowering, even though it is complex to do.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
