Unexpected orchard

[wshaffer]

So, on closer examination, just about every tree in the backyard is some fruit-bearing variety. I went 'round and looked at them all yesterday evening, and this is what I think we've got:

Apricot (nearly ripe enough to pick and eat), apple, mystery fruit that looks kind of like a small green apple, mystery citrus (probably orange or lime), grapefruit, pear, persimmon, and lemon.

I'm going to need to learn how to prune fruit trees properly, though.

Sweet! I have no words of wisdom on the gardening front, but you want to consider learning how to make jam/jelly as I bet you'll have a lot of fruits to do it with. :)

Yes, not all of the trees seem to be big producers, but the apricot and lemon trees in particular are bursting with fruit.
