For All You Fruit Tree Lovers!

FOR ALL YOU FRUIT TREE LOVERS!

     Hello, my name is Mathew and I decided to create this blog for everyone and anyone who has an interest in fruit trees. The first fruit tree I ever tried to grow was an Avocado. I had met a woman who grew and sold her own Avocado trees and I must say, it perked my interest. So what did I do? Well, I went and bought an avocado, strictly for the pit sadly, due to the flavor and texture of the fruit not being anything to my personal tastes.

     Once I got home, I researched online how to germinate the pit to grow into a tree. Once I had all the info I grabbed the pit, cleaned it off, and carefully put a tooth pick on all four sides, filled up a mason jar of water and set the bottom half of the pit into the water, keeping the top above it and in a nice sunny window. It took a few weeks before the pit began to crack, but crack it did. Within roughly 5-6 weeks I had a little avocado tree sprouting from the top of the pit. I then planted the pit into some soil and it had gotten to be about 2 feet tall within only a couple of months until my usually very good cat decided to kill it. 

     Now I have a nice sunny warm room where my cats and dog cannot get into to start my hobby up again! I have started to plant several different seeds within the past month. The first things I planted were my Lemon seeds. As of right now, they are the only thing that I have planted that have grown so far. I am up to about 11 Lemon Tree sprouting up. Here is a picture of them as of today:

       There were a couple odd plants that are in this picture too that I realized were not Lemon Trees that I just recently took out. These guys I planted on May 13th 2013. They are now just a couple days over a month old. 

     The other seeds I have planted this far are: Red Delicious Apple, Peach, Red Plum, Red Grapefruit, Kiwi, and I just planted some Orange seeds today! I also have Golden Delicious Apples and an Avocado pit germinating at the moment as well! As soon as there is any change in any of those I will post some pics! And of course I will post the growth of my baby Lemon Trees as well!

     I will also make a post later on explaining how to germinate several different seeds and how to go about planting them and growing them yourself!

Until next post, au revoir!
