Well, it would appear my Blackjack Fig developed Fig Mosaic Virus. I just cut and removed the affected portion of the branch. All other leaves look super healthy. #figtree #figs #southernaz

First blossoms on the plum tree. I wasn't aware they flower before throwing out leaves, can't wait to see it covered in blooms. #fruittree #plumtree #backyardorchard #southernaz

Purple Opuntia (purple prickly pear cactus). I have one in my back yard and one in the front yard. These guys don't produce edible fruit like a standard green one does. I do have one of those in my front yard. The more stress these are under (harsh temps, lack of water, etc), the more purple they get. I planted both of mine last year and it just snapped off a pad from another plant, stuck it in the ground and watered them maybe twice and they are both thriving. Cant wait until they flower and pollinators will be all over them. #pricklypearcactus #santaritaopuntia #cactus #desertplants #southernaz

I have 12 fruit trees, 1 fruit bush, and currently a Purple Santa Rita Opuntia (purple prickly pear) and this Aloe Vera plant in my back yard. #backyardorchard #fruittrees #desertplants #southernAZ

Here it is 19 Feb and it's 72°F here in southern AZ. Hummingbirds are back so I decided to chill outside and enjoy a cigar. #southernaz #brickhouse #brickhousecigar #cigar
