| Hi Everybody,
I am casting a show for TLC about people with unique collections or obsessions. I found this forum and wanted to get in touch with anybody who might say they are obsessed with fruit, a specific fruit, or gardening in general to see if they'd be interested in sharing their story on our show. Hope to hear from you! Thanks,

| That sounds like fun! I've got 7 varieties of rabbiteye blueberries and 16 varieties of Southern High Bush blueberries totaling 49 blueberry plants. Obsession is a under statement! Also several citrus, blackberry and lots of different veggies. This is all in my small suburban back yard in Houston Tx. Let's make a show! |

| Fruitnut, konrad, harvestman are a few names that come to my mind. Fruitnut would be the best candidate to showcase in such a show as his name says it all. His passion for fruit trees is an understatement. Tj.

| I nominate Fruitnut as well. His name says it all. If there is a fruit forum on the internet he posts on it, constantly trying new varieties, measuring the brix of each fruit. Hopefully he contacts the OP, although Bamboo should as well that list looks like obsession too! |

| Be cautious friends, you may not like the finished report. I had a newspaper reporter follow my family and I around for a day when we were looking for a new puppy at a local pet fair. Suffice to say, I wasn't too thrilled with what was and wasn't found in print. Fast forward a year later and a reporter approached me at a tomato festival - I sent them away instantly and spent the rest of the time looking over my shoulder. My unsolicited advice: If you want to put on a show, do it on youtube. Don't let someone else tell your story. |

| You will find lots of obsessed people about fruits here. Bamboo_rabbit you don't have enough peaches and plums. I know it is hard to get enough chill hours there. I love the Kishu I am on my 4th tree. Blueberries are an obsession all their own, I started with two and now have around 14 plants and looking to add more. The same holds true for Blackberries and raspberries. At least Raspberries will multiple on their own. I started out with a few fruit trees and now am around 50-57. Fresh fruit is very addicting. The addiction them can move to grafting, replacing trees and trying to figure out what is the max number of trees you can fit in your yard. |
