My mountain apple (or whatever it is) is lookin' pretty puny. Only a few twisted green/brown leaves left and definitely no fruit. I have a pretty small catchment so can't spend water on the landscape, it's on its own. It has been much drier than usual so hopefully that's the problem and it will recover when the rain comes back. At this point even the grass is dry brown and crunchy. I need to mow but it seems like the grass may retain more moisture if left longer than if cut short so I'm waiting. On the plus side, my tomatoes are lovin' this weather.

I have a mountain apple that has plenty of leaves and is now fruiting. Had about 30 apples so far and Im on 5th in HPP. Maybe its the dry weather we've been having thats causing the shedding of leaves. I do water it if it get's dry for several days.

I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
