No greenhouse here -- well, that's not quite true. The property has a small leanto greenhouse, but the year I moved in the dogs I had at the time tore the plastic sheeting to shreds and I've never repaired it. Maybe this year! I do have a nice (but cold in the winter) sunroom.

I grow a little of everything. A few plum trees, now 21 figs, plus water lilies and many other water plants, and many assorted ornamentals from agaves to yuccas (no zinnias!). I just spent the afternoon putting six more of the figs in large pots, and then planting various basils, peppers, and greens around them in the pots. My parents have much better soil than I do, so I plant peach trees at their house.

Since you were asking about tropicals, I also have bromeliads, including two variegated pineapples.

Ben, That's cool! And yea I'd def be up for trading sometime :)

Ione, I'm rooting a pineapple top too so hopefully I'll have one soon, and i just saved some seeds from a jackfruit and some longans so we'll see if i can get those to sprout. I'm so jealous of all of the people up here down in zones 9 and 10 haha. Oh and I just got a cutting of a frangipani/plumeria that I'm pretty excited about.

Josh --

Hello,

I was just curious if you got a pomegranate tree yet that was on your wish list? If so, what variety did you get? I live in Alabama. I love to grow anything fruit. Apples, pears, cherry, plum, persimmon, fig, peach, pomegranates. I now love growing pomegranates. I'm growing 67 varieties to see which takes the humidity best here in Alabama. If you want to know what I'm growing, check out my Facebook page Alabama Pomegranate Association. Also very curious what variety you are or plan on growing in Washington. Do you have a wet climate also?

Thanks

Shane

Shane, I got some cuttings of the wonderful variety but now I'm having trouble getting them to root. It's very wet here in the winters but dry and cool in the summers. I'm renting so I plan to keep mine in a pot in my greenhouse so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue.

im growing only in pots 7-15 gallons:
above 50 cultivars of figs
Jujube*1
loquats*2 seedlings
passion fruit
apricot*1
pomegranate*1
plums*1
Kari star fruit*1
dragon fruit
concord- isabella grape
Choco sapote

And a newcomer for the year a peach seedling i found growing in my potted figs :)
Maybe ill buy a lychee this year.

Shane Hi - ever heard of a large black pomegranate- Check my last shared FB post from Ariel Shay - a local Agronomer.

Hi and I am also interested in any cold hardy pomegranite cuttings or trees that anyone might have for sale. I live in Long Island NY zone 7 and tried rooting some pomegranite cuttings which developed leaves but have not seen any roots whatsoever. I have heard that Kazake pomegranite is a highly recommended cold hardy variety. Happy to pay for nice cuttings or small trees. Thanks
