Update on Pineapple Quince

A quick update on my pineapple Quince. Its Mid October and I was hoping that it was ripe. I tried one that fell to the ground. It was still rock hard and super tart!

It definitely is a pretty tree. I may keep it around for the flowers but may move it to another area of the yard. I may get a bosc pear in it' place, if the flavor doesn't improve when the fruit is ripe.

Planting figs straight into the ground

Sometimes rooting figs can be just as simple as sticking them directly into the ground. We tend to make things too complicated and costly trying to root fig cuttings. I know I have.

I took some left over cuttings and stuck them straight into the ground about 2 months ago and I was surprised to see this happen. New leaves!
