This past weekend I planted this avocado tree, a gift from a friend. My family is big consumers of avocados, during the season and we spend a great deal of money buying locally grown avocados, so is time to start growing our own.
It will be a few years before I can harvest fruits from this little guy.
I have come to the realization that my garden has an extensive variety plants, but other than my banana and key lime trees, I have no other fruit trees. We are blessed with great weather, which is excellent for growing tropical fruit trees, so I decided to move in that direction. The only problem with this new direction is that with every fruit tree planted, something else has to go.
First on the list is this giant white bird of paradise. I don’t like taking plants out of my garden, especially one I planted at the very beginning, but she is getting too big and is damaging the fence.
This space should be plenty for a mango and a couple of papaya trees.

Oh my! I would struggle to take out some of my plants..
Removing that white bird is going to be a job but I applaud your fruit growing plans. Tropical fruit trees are beautiful and delicious.
Great idea to plant more fruit trees, especially since you don't normally have to worry about cold weather. Can't wait to see what else you plant.
WOW that white bird of paradise is beautiful, perhaps you could plant a piece in a pot. It is a very good idea to plant fruit trees.
i am also thinking to plant some fruit trees.I love lemons,and i have a huge empty backyard.. Miami weather is great for planting. Other than that i have green onions, rosemary...my banana trees dont bear...i wonder why...
anyways, i think you should donate or sell some of the plants .Good luck with the trees!
Your bird of paradise flower is a dream flower to have in my garden. It looks huge and removing it will take a lot of muscle power but the fruits trees will be worth the hard work.
