The Patient Arid Landscape Gardener

8.10.2010 - One of the toughest things in gardening is waiting. We all plant things and cannot wait for them to do what they promise. That could be a magnificent flower display, lush tree growth or, in this case, fruit production.

This is a picture of one of my 4-year-old grapefruit trees. Notice it is possible to grow citrus in the desert without leaf curl, citrus leaf yellowing and pest invasion! A little patience and a lot of practice will achieve results!

This grapefruit will be ready in the winter!
