Calamondin
The Calamondin is known as the miniature orange. The flesh is orange, juicy and acid, with a fine lime-orange flavor. Because of this, it is often grouped with the limes. It is grown mainly as an outstanding ornamental, which is often trained as a bonsai. It will bloom year-round; filling the air with the aroma of citrus blossoms. Calamondin has flowers and fruits that often appear at the same time! The tree has upright branches with very few thorns and can grow up to 10 feet high. Calamondin provides a prolific fruit production, has a zesty acid juice, displays a handsome compact habit, and is outstanding in containers. Calamondin halves or quarters may be served with iced tea, seafood and meats, to be squeezed for the acid juice. The fruit can also be used for making acid beverages.

The Latham Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Latham', is a popular red raspberry that produces large crops of big juicy berries. It makes a delicious jam or a dessert as well as for fresh eating. Latham is a sure cropper for home use as this variety starts ripening in July and continues to ripen over a long period of time. Latham is a hardy, older cultivar bearing somewhat in fall and is suitable for inter-mountain regions. This raspberry has become a standard in early-bearing garden and pick-your-own operations. The berries are versatile and can be used as fresh fruit, in preserves, or in pies and pastries. Raspberries may be grown successfully at an elevation as high as 7,000 feet. They do best in full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. However, they may be grown in partial shade or under other environmental constraints. Natural protection against strong winter winds are provided in some valleys, but in other areas it is necessary to provide artificial protection during winter months. Although a well-drained soil is essential for success, a sandy soil will need to have plenty of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries need a plentiful supply of moisture throughout the growing season. Raspberries take little space and live for years. Birds also love the fruit, so you may have to share the harvest!
