Early spring GH pics

Feel free to post spring pictures here.

This BOP had about 8 blooms this spring. Still a couple more yet to open.

Calamondins. With rice vinegar, makes a really nice vinaigrette.

Sarracenia 'Scarlet Bell'

Lemon Guavas. I have several bags of these and Strawberry Guavas in the freezer if anyone knows what interesting things I can make with them.

Lychee 'Brewster' This one nearly died in its previous location, for unclear reasons. I dug it up, kept it in a pot for a couple of years, then last fall planted it in a different, raised GH bed. It likes this location much better. (Sorry it's a little blurry)

Proof that you can grow dragonfruit in Missouri.

stressb Your fruit looks really yummy. My gh is too small, 10 x 14, to raise many trees of fruit!!!!! I do have one small fig waiting to be transplanted to a larger pot. Mostly filled with sdlgs waiting to be transplanted.

Jaboticaba. Coaxing fruit from this little guy is a challenge. I had 3-4 2 years ago, then none last year. I repotted and ramped up the fert and now this spring there is one cluster of blooms, lower left center.

This Boug has been around the block. Probably 6 years old. Goes outside every summer, then comes in the GH in the winter and without complaint blooms her head off all winter and spring.

Ruth, some trees can be managed in a surprisingly small area. The jaboticaba is not even 24" high. The Guavas can be fruited in pots, as can lychees, but they are more difficult. I just got Papaya 'TR Hovey' which is supposed to fruit at 3' height, we'll see. Dragonfruit can be a monster though.

I don't keep my figs in the GH much. They are outside most of the summer, then I put them in a partially heated garage and let them go dormant most of the winter. They are in the GH only a few weeks each spring. I love figs.

I have just the two figs. The larger one has been in the same 20" pot for 3 or 4 years now. It stays in the winter in rarely heated, insulated room on north side of garage, and out on the deck all summer. Bears a goodly supply of figs eachs summer and late falll, but I know it has to be repotted this spring and i have the pot. Want to wait until the weather is warm enough so it can stay outside after being transplanted.

the other is quite small, and I kept it in the gh for the winter. it is in a smallish pot but is looking good.
