The Edible Landscaping Sunflower and Shenandoah cultivars and their unnamed select companion suffered from some frost damage not shared by their uphill friends, so probably a frost well/pocket in that middle spot of the orchard. Nevertheless they all showed some fruit. A lot of it larger than we expected. The larger fruit likely was pollinated very early in the season. There were still male and female flowers on many of the trees, along with large shiny spring green leaves. We observed what seem to be pre-blossom buds on some of the frost damaged trees. As always, it was an interesting and informative visit to Edible Landscaping to understand what producing Asimina triloba are up to out there!
