You have weak/lazy birds. No offence to them. Where I live, we have… advanced birds. They are fully equipped with the biological equivalents of bulletproof vests, haz-mat suits, armoured fighter jets with fully-guided heat-seeking targeting systems, and whatever it is that lets giraffes eat the acacias despite all of the biting ants that live in them. (I’m fine with sharing the fruit, but I don’t really have a choice.)
So you do have the purple figs then?
Do the birds not eat the figs if you let them ripen fully? Or do your figs not turn purple when they get ripe?
Cool indeed!
I don’t know much about the US, but many places don’t have any of that zoning stuff. Ecuador seems to be famous for the lack of zoning regulations, but I imagine that any tropical rainforest country would probably be similar.
In the US, I remember hearing that some people in Arkansas were able to get away with starting up an intentional community and doing all sorts of permaculture things due to the lax zoning regulations. You might research how Arkansas does things.
Mayapple… Is that a Syzygium?
EDIT: I looked it up, and apparently not. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Do you know what the fruit is like?
They can’t all be winners, but you never know until you grow them. I once bought tomato seeds from a local hardware store. Best tomatoes I ever ate. Unfortunately, I lost that seed lineage years ago. Some days I still miss those tomatoes.
Yes, those count! Are they a named cultivar that you grew or volunteer bird poop tomatoes?
After playing with it, it seems that it’s only possible to embed images, not .md files or other text.
Do you know the cultivar name of the plum?
I think that you mean infection, not disease. Disease is not communicable.
