It’s Fruit Pickin’ Time
Jump to Comments
Please join the Colter Commons Neighborhood Association for citrus harvesting this weekend: Saturday January 20 and Sunday January 21. Citrus collection bins will be available at 1019 E. Georgia Ave. and at 1025 E. Vermont Ave.
Ed Bazaldua of Ed’s Gardening Service and Landscaping has agreed to pick trees again this year for $25 per tree, and will put fruit in the collection bins (or you may choose to keep your fruit). Please call him at 623-266-6004 before Saturday so he will know how many pickers to bring.

Top 10 reasons to get pickin’

- They’re going to fall sometime. You can pick them now, or pick them off the ground all year long.
- Little bugs get on fruit once they fall to the ground.
- ROOF RATS LOVE THEM, and we are infested with roof rats.
- If your neighbor picks his citrus trees and you don’t pick yours, guess where the rats are going to dine?
