In My Garden: An Abundance of Fall Fruit!

At this time of year there usually isn't much fruit on our backyard trees. But with a little planning late summer to fall can be a cornucopia of fruit. Pictured in the photo above, starting at the top and going clockwise, are fuyu persimmons, chocolate persimmons, white sapotes, jujubes, pineapple guaves and dragon fruit (pitaya) in the center. All these fruits have a wonderful taste and great health benefits. And soon my cherimoyas will be ready. I have six varieties lasting from November through February.
