Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 11, 2025, 3:41 pm It’s been below freezing here since since the start of the new year. Feels like we’ve had snow every day! In other words I’m ready for spring! Here are pictures off of my patio. The Holly in the background is a Nellie Stevens Holly. It has lots of berries. The big Sabal is a Sabal Minor from the outer banks Jason picked up for me. The last two pictures are of an orange tree in our living room. Bought this past summer. It’s been blooming since Christmastime. Hoping for fruit 🤞.

Storm Picture Posted by Rob N TN on January 12, 2025, 1:46 am, in reply to "Snow Picture " The big Magnolia you were standing under is the bomba and that Outer Banks palm is lush, and big. Its already as big as a standard species. Nice Holly too, Id like to be 85% evergreen before 2026 Ciao Tom e belle fotos, is your orange tree citrus Trifoliate Orange? If it is, it will do great for you. Mine blooms in late winter, gets bit most years but somehow puts out the fruit e thanks for sharing some pics

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Nick z7b Md on January 12, 2025, 8:46 am, in reply to "Snow Picture " I had a Meyer lemon tree. I had an uncle in Ca that had one in his yard.it was the sweetest lemon I ever ate with a very thin skin. Mine was around 3 ft.I didn't get many ripe fruits from it but lots of flowers. The fruit didn't get ripe until fall. They sell Meyer lemons at Wegmans grocery stores

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Barry Senatobia MS on January 13, 2025, 12:24 pm, in reply to "Snow Picture " Tom is that sabal palm an Emerald Giant? There is a version of it in Louisiana. Thank you

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Yep. Bring on spring 🌞🌹

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:16 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Thanks Kevin!

Orange Tree Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:20 pm, in reply to "Storm Picture" Thanks Rob! The orange is some type of subtropical orange that is edible. I’d like fruit so I can make some OJ😂.

Pollinating Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:21 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Hey Mark, I’m not pollinating. Should I be? I really hope I do get fruit. Thanks!

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:24 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Sounds like a tree I’d like to try here. If this tree does well I may look for one.

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:27 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Thanks! It’s been brutal!

Re: Snow Picture Posted by Tom in PA on January 14, 2025, 9:32 pm, in reply to "Re: Snow Picture " Barry, I’m not totally sure. It comes from the outer banks so it’s possible. It’s one of hardier Sabals I have.

Re: Pollinating Posted by Mark z7 Sharptown, MD on January 15, 2025, 5:05 am, in reply to "Pollinating " I would think you should since no insects are doing it for you. Try taking a q-tip and go from flower to flower to try to pollinate.
