We have FRESH oranges

This spring Andy planted two orange trees in our backyard. I didn't know this but apparently a lot of orange trees will bear fruit in their first season. Sure enough, we have oranges on our trees! It is fun to see such a little tree have big oranges on it! We were very excited, and yes, they were very delicious!!

One of our cute little orange trees!

You've got to feel like a real man when you can grow your own fruit and eat it & not die!! I'm proud of you brother. The real question is did you graft in some branches from a wild fruit tree, or have you planted that tree in the choice spot of your vineyard? And of course, most importantly, have you dunged your branches correctly?

Our orange tree gave us fruit the first year, and now nothing. It hasn't even really grown at all. We think it's not draining properly. Hopefully you guys have better luck!!

Adam's Dad had fresh orange juice waiting for me when I got to Mesa last time... It was wonderful! I think I had a glass of fresh juice EVERY morning I was there!
