It was so warm this morning, that I could not resist getting out my camera and taking a walk. Our fruit and nut trees are blooming or getting ready to bloom and they look beautiful! Below are some the pictures I took of the highlights from my walk! Enjoy and get ready for the summer and delicious fruit!

| Flavorosa Pluots in bloom |
Pluots are in bloom. They bloom very heavy, but don't set heavy. When I say "set" I mean each bloom doesn't take to pollination and eventually drop off of the tree.They are very finicky trees!

| Newly planted trees leafing out |
These are our newest trees that we planted about a month ago. Remember this
post...in the fog?!

| Pluots going crazy! |
Here is a great shot of one variety of pluots that are in full bloom.

| Not quite ready to enter the world |
This variety of pluots are not quite ready to enter the world, but they will be here before you know it!

| Blooms on their way out...fruit on their way in! |
These Rose Diamond Nectarines are in the post blooming stage. They have been pollinated and set to produce fruit for the summer. This is an early variety and they will begin to ripen around the end of May, beginning of June.

| Nectaplums with their beautiful red leaves |
These Nectaplums look beautiful! Their leaves are red/green all summer long. I can't wait until the leaves are all out to take a more dramatic picture! Keep your eyes open for more photos!

We hope you are as excited as us. We love the Spring season. It's just so great to see nature takes it course and help us produce bountiful fruit for you to enjoy! We are anxiously awaiting for our fruit to get here, so we can get the Farmer's Markets hopping! See you soon!
