Arizona Horticulture

I grew up in the Arcadia neighborhood in Phoenix. As kids, you know oranges because you usually have to do the picking and juicing.

In our current house, we have four types of orange trees.

Here's a quick breakdown. Herston and Grant's favorite is the Cara Cara, and I love when a three year old asks for a Cara Cara by name.

(Yes, we have a decorative oranges tree. It's so annoying. Why would you want an orange tree you can't eat?!? And to top it off, they have thorns! Unlike any others.)
