My little four fruit tree orchard has come back to life...the peach and
nectarine trees are in bloom, the apple trees are bursting their buds,
and on the non-edible side, the callery pears (bradford pears) are in
full bloom, and the chinese dogwoods are about to come to life again, as
are the plum trees in the backyard.

I have 6 pineapples setting fruit and the orange blossoms smell
great.

Wow...pineapples! How terrific. We "pick" pineapples at the local
supermarkets. My wife's grandma, who lived in the Tampa-St. Pete area,
had oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, et cetera, growing on trees all
over her back yard. The first time I visited, I was blown away by seeing
that "orchard," and its fruit up close.

My favorite landscape trees, I think, are the callery pears. Their
shape, even in winter when they are bereft of leaves, makes them pretty,
and right now, their blossoms are just gorgeous.
