check the nursery folks to see where
they get theirs or maybe they'll have
one that failed around... they gotta
get them from someplace to use for
their grafting after all.


DW uses
the oranges for cooking and when we can't find fresh ones (increasingly
difficult) she uses a commercial product. If you're interested in trying some
Cuban-style recipes, including a classic "mojo", you could do a lot worse that
the "Three Guys from Miami" web site:
