Unexpected Oranges

We don't have oranges in Austin. It gets too cold in the winter for citrus trees, really. But this tree, tucked between a tennis court wind screen (which protects it from the north wind) and a stone wall produces a scad of oranges to be pecked at by wildlife (perhaps the peacocks like them?) and tossed about by vandals.

  1. I have a patient over in East Austin who has a huge orange tree in her front yard! The oranges are sweet and plentiful! LOL She also has 14 kids and over 40 grandkids. She has a coke machine on the front porch! She says she has too many kids coming over to provide sodas for them all.
