It has been a very mild winter up until the last couple of weeks and my plants are kind of freaking out. How about yours?

1) My two peach trees (Flordaprince & Tropic Beauty) both have flowered and set fruit. The fruit is very small and bland but the trees are also very young. 1st season in the ground.

2) I have plenty papayas both my dwarf and Hawaiian varieties.

3) My small Emperor Lychee has bloomed and has a couple very small lychees.

4) My passion fruit flowered and set fruit but many of the fruit dropped of early when we had the cold snap two weeks ago.

5) I have my first Giant Granadilla fruit this season. (See Picture)

6) My Roseygold Mango has flower and set 20+ fruit with some bigger than a golf ball. Meanwhile my two Nam Doc Mai mangoes have not even bloomed yet but the buds are swelling. My small Mallika is in a large planter and it has just started to bloom.

7) One of my bananas (Thousand Fingers) has bloomed.

I will add as I notice anything else.
