[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2436592, member: 475037"] I love trees and am loath to pull them out. I have gotten better about that since moving here. I really like to keep ones that flower, but we had a huge 40 foot tree taken out that's called an African Tulip, pretty orange flowers but it's an invasive species and all over the island. And it breaks easily.....and spreads easily. Huge root system. We took out a few palms too and rubber trees. But we left a large mountain apple tree just for the birds. We cut it way back but it loves to bear fruit and the birds love to eat it. Me not so much, I find the fruit fairly tasteless. We've planted a couple of papaya's, a pomegranate, I have a couple of mangoes started from seeds, and a meyer's lemon. The meyer lemon is not a meyer lemon even though the nursery guaranteed it was, we paid more for one and waited to get it. Green on the outside but tastes like regular lemon on the inside. That's so much the islands though. We have green outside and green inside, green outside and yellow inside, yellow outside and green inside, yellow outside and yellow inside and green outside and green inside that can either be a lime or a lemon. Citrus seems to be intermingled so much here. So I ordered 2 Haas avocado trees from the internet to hopefully make sure they are Haas because the same intermingling effect is here with avocados too. And we have about 300 species. The Haas are about 1-2 feet tall and seem to be doing well in their pots for now. I ordered from two different growers and they both look identical so hopefully they are both Haas. I will love whatever they are but I really do like Haas the best. [/QUOTE]
