I found you...Thank you for the interesting website. I found your blog today while I was trying to find the chill hours for Orlando. It was very helpful. <br /><br />I also have tried Willis Orchards and wasnt <br />completely satisfied. However they did honor their guarantee and agreed to ship me new trees for the ones that died last year (still to come).<br /><br />I also recently planted Gulf beauty nad Gulf Blaze plum trees and also after trying various online nurseries came to the same conclusion that JustFruits and Exotics was the best. I have called them frequently for advice and they are always helpful.<br /><br />I will be interested in hearing updates on how your trees are progressing. I planted many of the same this year (about 30 counting persimmons, pomegrantaes. avocados, mulberries and quince) but am a little worried that they <br />wont thrive and produce. I picked the lowest chill varieties I could find, but who know, this is all new for me.<br /><br />Anyway, have you planted any avocados?<br />I have one avocado tree that i planted 4 years ago and has survived repeated frosts but unfortunately hasnt borne any fruit yet. Last year I put other avocados nearby but to no avail. I'm almost ready to give up on it but I have a fig I also planted about 3 years ago and this year was the first time it produced figs with an <br />incredible growth spurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17084027.post-35138376713581679762010-10-04T06:41:09.212-04:002010-10-04T06:41:09.212-04:00I absolutely agree!
