Mandarin oranges?

Not likely to see us put in grapefruit, not GF eaters.
I love tangerines, especially Honeys.
That's why I put another tree of them in.
The Satsumas are almost as good.
So far, the Dancy is not as good compared to the other two.

We do use a lot of limes in our drinking water, so I've put a Tahitian Lime in.
It has bloomed a couple of times, but birds have eaten the small immature fruit.
One did hold long enough to ripen.
I'll net this one too.

I've already picked up some netting for the Longan tree because of birds eating the small young developing fruit.
I expect it to bloom in a month or two, will get the net over it after blooming.
Should get a lot of fruit from it.
It was badly impacted by the eruption, but is recovering very nicely.
Fruit should be ready in Aug or Sept.

Experimented with it.
The fruit freezes very nicely and thaws with little to no effect on texture or flavor.
If I'm right, we'll have a lot of Longan fruit over a long period this next season.

There was an orange tree when we bought.
It is NOT an eating orange, very tough and stringy.
It takes a lot of hard chewing to eat it.
It does make a delicious juice, though.
I think it's a Valencia.

I turn the entire fruit load into juice.
If they ripen too fast, I freeze the juice.
We drink a lot of OJ.
Miss that one when it's gone too.

Got a runty little Meyer lemon that hasn't done well at all.
I think its due to being in an area where water pools during rains.

The other lemon, a Eureka, Is gone.
Iselle and subsequent wind storms blew Ohias down onto it breaking off limbs, finally killing it.
That poor tree took a beating.

I'm thinking about adding an eating orange, maybe a Naval.
But, we've got a lot of citrus already.
Plus, things are getting tight, running low on room.

There, that'll teach you to get me started on fruit trees.
I skipped over the avos, bananas and others.
All were badly impacted by the eruption and disease.
Been spending a lot of time getting them ready for the next season.
