The thevetia is out


We finished taking out the thevetia today, and this is its root. Now to start looking for fruit trees to put in its place! I missed the window for ordering the desert-adapted cherry trees from Phoenix Permaculture Guild this year, so we'll have to check various nurseries. If we can't find any relatively soon, we'll put in another early-bearing peach and possibly another kind of plum. Our April/May bearing peach tree is declining, and although our Santa Rosa plum seems healthy enough, we have yet to get any edible fruit from it. Or maybe try this idea using fig trees, which would provide a nice tropical look around the pond.
