About My Edible Backyard

Why BobbyB Love's Edible Plants

I have 52 fruit trees on a half acre with my house in the middle. We have 17 types of Mangos, 6 types of Avacados, Logans, Lychees, JacFruit,Sugar Apples, Pomegranate, Guabanas, Nispero- Sapadilla, Lemoncilla, Cashew, Passonfruit, Oranges, Limes, and also Lemons . We have lots of bananas and plantains in addition to the fruit trees. We are on a sandy loam with limestone rock base and get lots of rain here and warm weather. The trees are part of my garden and not like a grove and my Jack Russell terriers love to garden with me.. They are trying to help me with the opossiums and the squirrels.

sweet custard taste -ripen quickly on or off the tree- monitor when the skin scratches brown verus green. Keep choppong tree to keep fruit in reach. Make icream in Cuba from it.
