MANDARINS
Our mandarins vary in size from tree to tree, but can be the size of a marble to just larger than a golf ball. The amount of mandarins will vary from tree to tree as well. We're busy weeding each well around the tree and making sure the trees are healthy and happy. |

BEARSS LIMES
Our limes are growing, too. Although they are a deep, rich green now, as they get ripe, they will actually begin to turn yellow. Mature fruit will be approximately 2-2 1/2 inches in diameter. The skin is very thin and the fruit is seedless. They are very juicy and are a wonderful winter citrus. |

ORO BLANCO GRAPEFRUIT
The trees are loaded and although they are a long way from harvest, the limbs are starting to bend with the weight of this delicious fruit.
Oro Blanco grapefruit is characteristically thick skinned and white-fleshed. A popular nearly seedless grapefruit hybrid with white flesh is produced from huge fragrant blossoms and large glossy-green foliage. As with many white fruits, the Oro Blanco's flesh is sweet and lacks any of the typical bitterness of a grapefruit

POMEGRANTES
Still the most colorful trees in the grove, the fruit is just now starting to change color. The subtle red is taking over the green flesh of the fruit. Often tightly bunched together, pomagrantes can grow in groups of 3 or 4. Our pomegranates are wonderful and it looks like a very good crop.

MEYER LEMONS
Soon, the trees will be covered in lovely yellow gems! Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and a Mandarin Orange. Meyer lemons are traditionally sweeter, less acidic than the more common lemon found in grocery stores. They are wonderful to use in baking and cooking.
