Your fruit trees look  great! 

I am working on a small family orchard on our farm. 

Thank you!
In my opinion EVERY tree in my property should be fruit tree! I think that all the work, water ect. Should be rewarded with fruits!
Especially when they have so beautiful flowers!
What kind of fruit you intend to plant?

I am limited here in Alabama to what will grow here.
I have plum, apple, pear, peach and cherry trees. I am growing out some crab apple and plum seedlings. I hope to add apricot and pomegranate. Not to sure of any others yet. I would like to get some kumquat bushes to add to our blueberry, blackberry and grapes.

Very nice collection you have there! I would change the kumquat, that I don't like to much, to lime or lemon.

We cannot grow citrus here in this part of Alabama. Or I would love to grow some oranges.

I also currently can't grow citrus in my area, but with the changing climate and rising snow line every season(something I've been watching in the 30+ years of living on two sides of this county at two very different elevations) I just might be able to soon enough.

No baby yet.
definitely on pins and needles.

love Kumquats..... ever had Kumquat marmalade.....

only tasted it once but its on my bucket list to make one day.

Benny you have quite a few fruit trees on your property.... Whats your climate like I am assuming its Mediterranean....

I am inland here somewhat so its hotter than by the coast but we are classified as Mediterranean climate as well.

Up at my house its a bit drier and we have higher spikes of summer temps but mostly the climate seems about the same as San Diego temperature wise.

Dad used to work in orange groves and taught me some about citrus so when I bought a place that had a ring of citrus trees around it I got a lot of experience reviving the neglected. I had navel Orange, Valencia orange, Grapefruit, Tangerine, and Lemon Trees. There was also an avocado that was too young to produce fruit under five years old.

Loved my tangerines and Lemons.... Once I got irrigation to them they were excellent producers.

Its too cold at my house in the winter to grow anything but Tangerines , Lemons, and Limes and only then certian varieties that are cold hearty I get about 72 hours of snow per year and hard freezes at night.

Yes indeed a Mediterranean climate mailed winters, hot and humid summer with no rain.
I need to irrigate. I live on the see plain and we have Loam soil wich is IDEAL for citrus! In fact before we became an hige tech based economy the nain export were citrus especially oranges. I actualy live in a street that is name indicated that ones was here orange grove. Now the most of them are buildings. .....
