"Hey Pilgrim!"

Happy Thanksgiving!

Some fruit to be thankful for at this time in late November.
Pomegranates at Jennifer and Mike's home
 
Giant Pomegranate from the same tree

Kiwi fruits in Lafayette.

 

Kiwis need a male and female vine to be fruitful
 
Avocados on a tree in the Southampton Hills district of Benicia. We might think it too windy up there on the ridge adjacent to the Carquinez Straight but this mature tree is having an exceptionally good year.

The Fuyu is the rounder variety.
