November

November in Fresno brings cool weather. There is a marked difference from the scorching summer heat to the cool weather associated with fall. Usually this is a time of change in the garden, promoting a flush of new growth, blooms and fruit. It is also during this month that trees begin to change color, although the foliage persists until late December and into early January.

Canna

Cannas will bloom year round in warm years, but will die back after frosts.

Dahlia 'Berger's Record"

Like all other Dahlias, Berger's Record blooms in late summer and continues to bloom into winter

Mandarin

Mandarins and many other citrus begin to ripen at this time of year.

Psidium Guajava (Tropic Pink Guava)

Cool temperatures encourage the pink/bronze new growth.

Brugmansia "Frosty Pink"

Brugmansias find this cooler climate ideal for blooming. They drop their buds with too much heat.

Sechium Edule

This is a fruit originating from the highlands of Central America. Sets fruit throughout the summer.

Wax Begonia

Year round bloomers, although more profuse in the fall and spring.
