Costas, just wondering if you girdled the branch and applied rooting hormone for the bay leaf and plum air layers? __________________ Pino, zone 6, Niagara, JCJ Acres Wish; Peace on earth and more figs Italian 258, Galicia Negra, Luv, trade suggestions welcome.

UPDATE: OT as far as the thread is concerned, but Rafed asked (#35): Quote: Are your winters that mild to where you can grow Loquats? That question has now been answered: So are you there Rafed? I've even been able to make use of one of the pics as my avatar - finally. We've already eaten a few, and they are sensational. Almost as good as my best figs. Will post more pics at next harvest, which will be tomorrow. How's your giant air-layer doing? __________________ Costas

Here are a couple of Big Jim loquats from my tree. They are delicious! __________________ "Padres Fan" San Diego, California USA Sunset Zone 24- coastal So. Cal

They sure look it, but have you considered growing new trees from the seeds? That's what I'll be doing with mine. __________________ Costas

Now duly bumped for jdsf and padsfan. Here are mine again, and they didn't disappoint. BTW, did you know the seeds can be eaten as a prophylactic against cancer? Go easy tho - there's cyanide in them there seeds. __________________ Costas
