Amy Plants an Orange Tree

(circa July, 1984)

I was on hand to help Dad plant the first of his small farms. He started out with the idea of growing fruits, macadamia nuts, and proteas. Unfortunately, his side of the island is so arid that the proteas (native to Africa) were the only crop to prosper. I had sort of adopted this tree, and it struggled and produced at least a few fruit.
