Allspice, Bay leaves and the Mangoes

George picked up an Allspice tree. I admit to knowing nothing about it so read this article:

I had no real idea what it was and you pirate fans are going to find it interesting.
George thought he was going to use the leaves but apparently, you use the fruit.

Well, well.... we have a lot of surprises with this one.

I also got a Bay Laurel tree which you can keep small and even grow it in a pot. It is very slow growing. It is one of the oldest trees in cultivation. This website has all the information you could want:

I also got to see a dwarf and semi-dwarf mango tree. The dwarf was the cutest little thing but it had an attitude. The semi-dwarf was more laid back. I am convinced I want a couple. Unfortunately they are expensive so they will have to wait.

I couldn't help but think that if my houseplant group had been set down there they would have gone crazy. Most of them are dragging plants into the house because of frost and snow. They have never seen their houseplants in their natural form.
I stayed away from the begonia booth but the African Violets caught me. I came home with 4, 2 mini trailers and 2 standards. Now I just have to clear the plant shelf off and take the seedlings outside.
It is amazing how work multiplies.
