We have a beautiful natural looking Forrest with a fire pit area, horseshoe pit, privacy for hammocknand his is all back of private pool. We have open space prior to the opening of the "woods" that contain mature bamboo trees, etc but I can't seem to find a place for the fruit trees I want to plant! Example, Orange, Lime, Lemon and Mango. I don't want t looking like a hodgepodge which I'm afraid of if I do it! Can you please help me?


The area between the pool and the woods.


Area leading to the firepit.


Our gazebo where we were married under


Our horseshoe pit area photo taken when I injured my foot!


Our private little area to keep my inlaws! Just kidding.


Our screen enclosed with palms surrounds pool area at night


Darts, basketball, fun - our pool area - just missing the fresh fruit!


My husband who doesn't have a green thumb. This view looks out to the open area before the entrance to the so called woods.

    Buy some of those Giant but Lightweight pots and put Dwarf varieties in them...That way, you can move them around a few times to see where you like them AND where they do the best. AND if you can paint the pots with a $5 can of spray paint every season a different color...for a change.

    I like the pots idea...just got to say that your backyard looks like a dream come true  I think whatever you add will just add character and enhance the space.

    Thank you Shoshana. I definitely gave up my dream kitchen to have only a couple sets of cabinets in order to have this backyard!

    I'm also in South Florida but no garden in our condo. I would only remind you that all fruiting tree need to have windfalls picked up quickly as the variety of creeping and crawling things in our part of the world will quickly be attracted to a free fruit bar.
