| Fruit: Feijoa sellowiana | Pineapple Guava, fruit | |||
 Super-tasty fruits which are not viable for shipping to supermarkets - just for your back yard.
Pineapple Guavas are an ideal fruit tree for the Bay Area. Originally from the scrublands of Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil, these non-tropical, evergreen trees are drought tolerant (though they need water to set fruit) and virtually disease and pest free. They feature large, showy flowers with edible petals; dense, dark green foliage; plus delicious fruit to boot. The aromatic fruit is ripe when it falls to the ground. Fruiting season, depending on cultivar, is from late September to early December. Pineapple guavas will grow to about 15 feet tall x 15 wide, but can be kept at any height or width by pruning. For a thick hedge, plant about 10ft.-15ft apart. Their dense foliage is ideal for screening out the view of your neighbors. These seedlings were grown from fruit of 9 cultivars that I found to be the best tasting out of a selection of over 25 cultivars that were developed by our West Coast expert, Mark Albert in Ukiah. Mark has been selecting trees for Northern California that have superior tasting fruit for about 40 years. The seedlings are from: Albert’s Pride, early fruiting, late September – October Albert's Supreme, late fruiting, November –early December Red Beard Clara North Moore, parent of Pride and Supreme Marion Lake Mendocino Drive Lake Mendocino Drive South T3 Elongated -Paul Borchardt - California Rare Fruit Growers |

| Festuca rubra 'Point Molate' | Molate Fescue | Point Molate, Richmond | ||
 The Point Molate form of red fescue is more drought tolerant than typical Red Fescue, more silvery blue colored with a bit wider, more upright leaf and starts growing earlier in the winter rather than waiting for spring. This is an excellent lawn alternative. Looks better tall so if you mow, do it in March when it can still recover for a natural look. |
