Mangos

The spot next to the water tunnel and the garage is where the 3 riego (irrigation) water pipes issue their water into the irrigation channels. They're not too careful with that, and the channels leak, so it's always quite wet there. And nice and green. Apparently mango trees use a lot of water, so that's the spot. Bought two, 16€, var "Sensacion". Well, that sounds promising.

Mango nr. 1 (var "Especiosa")

Mango nr. 2

Original planting hole of mango nr. 1

That is because I underestimated how big a mango can grow. They can, apparently, grow 10-12 m in size. Well, in the tropics. To be sure I dug up mango nr.1 again and replanted it a few meters further on.

Silk Floss Tree

Getting the silk floss trees (16€ a piece). Roadsters are very practical, actually.

Digging a hole (70x70x50), then finding out it's too near the irrigation water pipe, as this tree has a quite wild root system.

Some images of the silk floss tree, "arbol botella" in Spanish, chorisia speciosa, or ceiba speciosa.

Grapfruit

Flimsy tree, but so many grapefuit! The fruits are still green, though already bright red inside. Still I harvested them, as the tree loses leaves and has aphids. It's not doing well, so off with it’s fruit! 

Christmas tree peak XL

Anyone interested in a ridiculously large christmas tree peak? (64 cm, glass, silver)

And yes, sorry, but size does matter.
