Helping Papa Plant a New Sugarbelle Grove

More New Growth!

In June, 2015, we planted more Sugarbelle trees. They should be ready for a Christmastime 2017 harvest.

Sugarbelles are a relatively new variety- a cross between a Clementine Tangerine and a Honeybell!  We call them Honeybell’s Little Cousins!

3-1/2 year old grandbabies, Jay and Aria are ”helping” their Papa plant a new baby Sugarbelle tree. They actually planted several all by themselves, with proud Papa looking on.
