Sapodilla in a bowl
Sapodilla

I hope everyone had a good Holiday! 
Now we can settle down to normal. 
We are presently harvesting Jujube, 
Sapodilla, Carambola and some Chinese cabbage. 
The weather has been unusually warm for this time of year which has caused normally dormant trees and plants to slow down growth wise. 
Plants however are growing nicely. 
We have a good assortment of herbs for sale. 
I continually get calls regularly for citrus trees. Because of Citrus Greening which is a fatal and incurable disease we do not recommend nor sell citrus trees. In addition almost all citrus trees are grown in North Florida in quarantine on a root stock not suitable to our alkaline South Florida soil. The result is that the fruit tends to be pithy and not sweet. 
That’s 
all from under the Jakfruit tree, until next time. 
In the mean time we ask that you like us on Face Book and Yelp. 

Richard.
