New Mango & Lychee tree

 Maryann sent me two trees from Plantogram. The Lychee is a 'Sweetheart' and the mango is 'Coconut Cream'; which looks really great.
I planted 'Coconut Cream' into a Rubbermaid container, that I had originally used modified a couple years ago. I re purposed it by adding hydroton at the bottom and a diatomaceous gravel and pine bark mixture for the rest.
The Lychee I'm gonna try to grow in ground. I also plan on providing some sort of heat (light bulbs) and cover during the winter. At least until it becomes a bigger plant. Its an experiment. I'll also try air layering the lower branch just in case this project fails.

Peruvian Apple Cactus

Planted my fruiting cactus in the corner of my frontyard. Their names are 3410GO & 804MV. Not great names but hey maybe Tim Tompson will eventually name them?

Also saw 'Timotayo' mango trees at Lowes:
