We learned about aquapontic gardening. Very interesting. It seems much more reasonable than hydropontics.

I need to look this up.

What trees are you interested in getting? I always have a list of trees I want & never end up picking up. It seems I always want them in the summer when it’s too hot to plant, then I get distracted & suddenly it’s summer again.

I want a peach tree (that grows in FL), a couple satsuma trees, a moringa, a meyers lemon, an orange tree (I haven't decided which type, but thinking blood orange), and a loquat.

If I were told to shorten the list, I'd go with peach, satsuma, and morninga.

Loquat is my favorite fruit in the world. I never, ever hear other people talk about them. My great grandmother had a giant loquat tree when I was growing up.

I had to look up satsuma. Mandarin is basically a cutie, right?

What's a loquat and where do they grow? Is it anything like a kumquat?

 

[getaclue]

room, yes it's essentially a cutie. My grandmother had 2 of them in her backyard. That was my favorite citrus fruit to go grab.

I used to climb the loquat tree in the back yard where I grew up, then have someone hand me a rake. I'd rake out, or bang off the ripe loquats, while someone on the ground would gather them up. Over time, we not only had plenty to eat, but my grandmother would put up loquat preserves.

BigBlue, no, a loquat is nothing like a kumquat. They are also called Japanese Plums down here. https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/...utm_term=4580634168359522&utm_content=edibles

Cool! Thanks for the info!

Everything grows in some part of California!

loquat is grown commercially in California.
