There were many anxious days while we watched the petals drop off the orange blossoms, leaving only a little button on the ends of the stems. If the rains had not started when they did, the trees would have released all the little buttons that it couldn't support and much of this season's fruit would have been lost. Even with rain later in the spring or summer the tree would be hard pressed to bloom a second time. So, we are very thankful to have received some much needed rain. Fruit is a-comin'.

Back to the fruit business. Navels and Tangerines look very promising for having a nice range of sizes and high sugar for November due to the consistent early crop.
