leafypete said:The one tree made some fruit for a few years before the male started blooming, but with both trees now fully grown, the fruit load causes some limb breakage. This year with late fall frosts, the fruit are only now edible, but they have been hanging so long they are also 1/2 dry.


Are you familiar with twig girdler damage? That could also be the result of the dropping limbs.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
