What’s growing at the Acre
Aeonium
An aeonium in the new succulent garden I'm creating. The light through the yucca tree hit it in just such a way to bring together the colors and symmetry in an almost hypnotic display.
Giant Agave Flowers
The American Agave produces giant flower stalks that can shoot 30 feet in the air. The dried stalks are a favorite nesting site for acorn woodpeckers.
Unusual Avocado Varieties
The other day a neighbor who's an avocado grower, brought us some rare Don Gillogly avocados from his private grove. It's a dwarf Haas variant with creamy, club-shaped fruit.
Brown Turkey Fig (Ficus Carica)
Years ago I planted a brown turkey fig seedling near the chicken coop. It's not a large, leafy tree that produces a ton of fruit. The birds love it.
