My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ilamas, etc.

19 years ago

I tasted a perfectly ripe ilama (Annona diversifolia, 'Pajapita' variety) today for the first time - it was delicious. I like it as much as I like cherimoya, although the flesh is not quite as juicy. This fruit definitely deserves more attention. With any luck I'll be able to get a grafted tree within the next few months; in any case, I plan on planting out the seeds from the two fruit I consumed.

In other news, I recently added a grafted "chanee" durian, a grafted "kampong mauve" sugar apple, a "flawless" caimito cutting, and a grafted mangosteen to my collection. The grafted mangosteen is more a curiosity than anything, since the literature seems to suggest that grafting doesn't really help improve fruiting time or quality. Still, the tree appears to be growing vigorously, so at the very least I know that the graft union was successful.

My pedalai and breadfruit are both growing very happily in the ground, putting out large, lovely foliage with surprising speed. They will, of course, be protected this winter. I'll try to post pictures, although I haven't had much time lately to do much more than water my plants. Thankfully, they require very little care besides that during our hot, humid Miami summers.
