I'm always looking for more (mostly) evergreen plants to fill in the yard during the winters. <br /><br />And in fairness to your plants, 2013/14 was pretty brutal as our winters go; we don't get many like that.

I had both my plants lose all their leaves after the winter of 2013/14, I thought they were dead. I blame the cold east wind. I do water them, sparingly. danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-4105643555131079942019-06-20T16:14:36.873-07:002019-06-20T16:14:36.873-07:00Have you gotten any fruit off the acca sellowiana ...Have you gotten any fruit off the acca sellowiana / pineapple guava in the years you've had it?

What do they say about things coming in threes? I'm not particularly superstitious but I think there's a grain of truth in it. Does that mean you're due for one more? LOL<br /><br />I think of bananas as fitting well in a tropical and lush looking garden, so maybe you could think of it as a sentiment that your garden struck them that way.<br /><br />Otherwise, my only other comment is that those gentlemen were obviously bananas about bananas.
