Gardening With Friends

Stan,

It looks good, but I’m sure it’s hating this very cool weather. You know they’re very tropical and demand very hot, humid weather. I’m surprised it hasn’t lost a lot of leaves. I think it likes this spot, because it’s been there for at least 10 years.

It’s a real cherry tree from the tropics. It’s an evergreen tree which can produce three crops year in southern California.

Here’s a pic of this tree growing and flowering in a pot. I put it into the ground in 2021, I think. The flowers are white and very sweet-smelling.

Kate,

Thanks 🙏 !

Klahanie,

I love lychee and longan! I hope I get a little of both. My poor longan tree is just sulking in the rainy and cooler than normal weather.

So pleased to read about your eye Sue and my word what a stunning garden you have. Your greenhouse is so well organised and is a hive of industry!! The succulents are thriving and your viburnum looks very pretty indeed.
It is so nice to see Spring everywhere again.

Yes I love the perfume of wall flowers - they remind me of my grandad who loved growing them!
