I have loquats, love the fruit, but would grow them just for the scent of the flowers alone. We have a very old avocado tree that was here when we bought, which I value highly. I have planted nectarine, peach, plum...there was an existing apricot which bore quite well this year, an existing sapote seedling which has since grown into a large, bearing tree. I planted a Fuyu persimmon 'cause I would not be without persimmons, we lost our Hachiya when we divided the property. My fun this year will be the 120 strawberries planted in two gallon containers. I've grown strawberries in years long past and picking them can be back breaking work. We have gophers, squirrels, rabbits, all those things I'd rather keep away from my berries, so the strawberries are now planted in two gallon pots, sitting on my nursery tables. Keeping my fingers crossed...I think they will do well. As our water costs keep skyrocketing, I'm thinking I will do more dwarf trees in containers also.
