With no frost for the last two winters and all of this rain, my skinny little mango tree has grown into a fat large mango tree. There is no way to protect it now.

The Jatropha multifida or coral plant that I planted just a year ago is very happy.

I see some fungus spots on a pomegranate. I don't think it will bother the fruit inside but I'll have to research it.

Finally, lots of new growth coming from the stubs of my yellow tabebuia tree. If you remember, two hugh branches broke off while we were away on vacation. I just made clean cuts and hoped to see new growth.
