We'll get some pics tomorrow... I've a number of interesting plants.. but  usually only one of each.. like a jujuba.  It was a real bugger to get going but now is doing well.  It forms a shrub to a small tree and the fruits look like small green apples (crabapples) which are sweet.  If you dry them, they are amazingly like dates.  the stone inside looks like a date stone even.  Heaven only knows if we'll ever get to taste one, but it is growing.  Barry Beisanz has a larger specimen but it hasn't fruited for him yet.  Mine is only about 1.5 ft tall.  The raspberry I couldn't remember the variety of is a Mysore  from India.  They are grown a lot in Florida as Florida is too hot for regular raspberries.

This should be the order of the photos: 
Blueberries (3), Bob with Anna Apple, Bob with grapefruit,  Chaya (edible leaves), Christmas loquat (never grows much larger and great sweet fruit, Citrus grafts with red navel and ponkan, guayabita de peru (dark red to purple fruits and delicious), seed from giant avocado, japanese persimmon (should fruit this year or next), Jujuba (2), Limon mandarina, Malagueña citrus(it is said they are too sweet, we'll see this year), Mamon chino injertado(like the best you find at the feria!, Moringa (too tall for a good photo, I want another to keep small), mulberry, Mysore raspberry, native peach, plum (red when ripe), another ponkan graft I have my fingers crossed!, Sobralia & uchos & plum tree, spineless blackberry (grows and grows, but no fruit), uchoa physallis fruit.

My photos wouldn't load, so I'll upload a file separately... sorry.
