Pomegranate has been a good ornamental flowering plant that I grow in a large pot. This plant will also produce ornamental fruit, but doesn’t ripen well for me.

Purple Ash
My young White Ash trees have way better fall color than the native Green Ash trees. The trees turn purplish in fall.
Thorniest Plant
The Arala Elata is one of the thorniest plants on my Oasis. These shrubs are thornier than Aralia Spinosa, but have proved less hardy. I am starting to wonder if my plant is the less-hardy Aralia Chinensis.
Korean Poplar
The Korean Poplar has changed to an interesting color this fall. These Poplars have struggled with my weather.
Purple Devil’s Walking Stick
Devil’s Walking Stick is a suckering shrub. These plants have many ornamental features, but the best is the stunning fall foliage.
Spindle Tree
The little Spindle Trees are starting to create their ornamental fruit. These small trees are in the genus Euonymus.
Radish Apples
The rains and low fall season has caused the Radishes to get huge. Some of the Radishes are getting bigger than Apples!
Apple Comparison
Double Red Delicious Apples were very dark this year. They are darker than Red Delicious apples in other years, but not nearly black.
Attack of the Killer Apples
The goats are gobbling all the extra apples down, while trying not to choke on them. Apples are a great treat for the livestock here.
Bloody Oak
Fall has caused this Bur Oak tree to look like it is bleeding. This has been caused by a Virginia Creeper vine crawling up the trunk.
