Re: Harbinger

Speaking of loquats, I definitely have some fruit coming on my new little tree, and they are getting bigger. Still keeping my fingers crossed!!

I don't even think it will produce for me, but I'd like to give it a try. I'm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, so I don't have quite the prolonged heat that you do. However, they need a long period of mild temps in the late winter to keep their pollen alive. I think our temps are too up and down for them. It was in the 60's before the storm blew through. It was in the 20's last night and we may have snow tonight .
I think that the Filbert/Hazelnut would be like Almonds here. The tree buds out and BAM! the temps drop into the teens. 

Have you tried growing Pomegranate, Loquat or Mayhaws?

Daryl - do you think they'd grow here or would the heat be too much for
them?   Lots of things just can't hang through a Texas summer.

If you find out who has the dwarf Filbert, I'd love to give it a try. I
really enjoy Filberts, and only get them when I'm in the PNW, which isn't 
often enough. When we get them here, they're expensive and old.
