I used to be much more active. I may be an example of why we as a group aren't as active now. rhizo made a valid point that this is a slow time of year for citrus. Those of you in the north have your trees indoors and my in-ground trees are mostly dormant although a few of my trees beg to differ. I was more active when I first got started and had bookoos of questions and was just posting photos of my trees for the first time. Now, I post once in a while but most of you have seen all there is to see of my trees. I'm also spreading my time into some other activities now that I have most of my citrus needs figured out. It's always been a great and very active forum and most of us still come through here now and then, just don't have anything newsworthy to share yet. That being said, I was shocked Friday when I walked by one of my Ponderosa lemons and saw little purple leaves sprouting....almost certainly will get frozen if we get the cold snaps we always get in February. It's been sooooo mild here this "winter" that I have an avocado growing outside that came up from a seed I tossed out with other compost under my kumquat tree. My calamondin is also unaware that it's February. It's smack in the middle of a rather large burst of blooms.

The swap will be Saturday, August 22nd. Check-in starts at 9 a.m. & the swap starts around 10 or as soon as everyone's been checked in.

Now that's a mystery! I thought it looked like a pomegranite, but someone says not. The latest idea is McCartney rose, but the descriptions I've read say "thorny", & the fruits or hips look too big in relation to the leaves (to me). hope the OP posts some close-ups or cross-sections of a fruit! Here is a link that might be useful: What Is It?

I think he's kidding us. He can id the leaves as maple and oak, so he can't be a total newbie. He know the term "chimera" as well. And watch the background, there are more oak leaves there. If he snapped a pic from a different angel I think it would be very obvious that there are two different trees.
