gretel's Fruit trees garden

Garden Type: Orchard | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

Mostly trees leftover from before I moved here, mostly badly placed and planted, but most of them thriving anyway. And so I love them, but most are pretty badly off. These include a navel orange, some sort of fig, a red grape vine against the shed, and an old sour loquat tree.

There are some potted trees, that I have bought or been given including a meyer lemon tree and a miniature pink lady apple tree (though I suspect it needs a partner). I had a loquat tree but unfortunately that died when we had a very late summer in 2009.

I added a passionfruit vine to the wall against the vegie patch where there was already a metal grid for it to grow on. It looked pretty unhealthy for awhile (it was in pretty harsh sunlight).
