#pomegranates
I love this time of year because the fruits I love are basically bigger than my hand

Fruit trees are fruiting!
All these trees I’ve grafted or rooted myself, starting with bare rootstock or a cutting. Many of these trees I’ve put on multiple varieties. Some have more than half a dozen or more different varieties on one tree!
Since we don’t own land, we grow our trees in containers. They all started out in 1 gallon pots and now most are in 15 gallon containers. I don’t plan on potting up further but we are hopeful we will plant many of these trees in the ground when we buy a place soon.
We’ve got apple, Asian pear, plum, nectarine, peach, grapefruit, mandarin, pineapple guava, fig, pomegranate and more.
No fruit yet on the cherry or European Pear trees. Maybe next year!
