Your fruit garden is a thing of wonders. I would've expected to have seen my two favorite tropical fruits - Papaya and lychee. I love both more than I love mango. While living in Finland (Northern Europe), I could only dream about such fruits. Congratulations on your success! 🙂
This video is exactly what I need. I had in my list most of your list, except the peanut butter and macademia. The curry is my future list. The chikoo you mentioned must be the sapodilla in my vocabulary. Funny that I put it in my list last week and erased it and put it back again yesterday. The reason I erased it because it tastes like pure sugar. The reason I put it back because it can produce fruits during winter. A first cousin of mine had it. Each time I visited him during my childhood, he would use a long stick to drop the fruits down to the ground for me. Anyway, I have focused on various citrus trees for winter.
I’m in the glendale phx area slowly collecting fruit trees im only 18 and i work at summerwinds and I’m good friends with lewis or alfred and im coming to the nursery soon and starfruit will definitely be one on my list that i will leave there with I’m super excited to meet you and talk with you
I am just now finding your channel bud. Very helpful info here. With this much knowledge I can see a million subscribers easily. Please keep up the good work good buddy.
One day when I find a star fruit in the grocery store or farmer market, I will grow one from seeds. Already trying to get Cherimoya and Lychee fruit tree to grow. The seedlings are growing in the middle of the cold season. Zone 9B.
Thank you RU-vid for suggesting this channel. Can’t believe I did not know of it or your nursery. Which of these fruits can be harvested between October and April?
I would have enjoyed the video 100% if you was to mention the Age of each Plant your explaining to everyone -- BUT i still enjoyed it very much, i like growing tropical fruit plants but at my age i like to choose a rather fast growing one. (near my 69th BD) I loved the Star Fruit Trees... :) I would hope one would grow well in my new USDA Grow Zone of 9a (Mississippi).
What temperature would you suggest bringing in the tropical fruit trees? My star fruit tree is fruiting right now. Should I move the trees closer to each other to keep them warm from the 50 degrees and wind? I live in 9 zone Texas.
Aloha from Hawaii! Just thought you might want to thin the fruit on your young trees, especially Starfruit as heavy fruit set will really tax the tree’s strength and break branches. I lost two beautiful baby Starfruit trees when they split in half from fruit weight. Check out a great book called “Grow A Little Fruit Tree” ❤️
For the Ice Cream Bean, do you like Inga feuillei, edulis, spectabilis or another species? And is there a particular variety to look out for? Same with the star fruit, are there particular varieties that are better than others?
This is great, I’m not sure how your star fruit can take the cold… I can only get seeds, so I grow from seed. When the temp goes below 5C they start to dieback. Maybe you have a variety that can take the cold
A lot of people, including me until the recent past, do not know (1) they can grow tropical fruit trees in zone 9b and above. (2) they can grow them in small space in a cooler area, as the tree don't get huge like they are in the native tropical environment. (3) From item (2) it leads to (3) that you can grow some of them, size-appropriate, in a greenhouse in a colder climate. (4) You can even grow some of them in containers. (5) and some of them have fruits around the year, like your video has demonstrated. I always know about tropical trees' behavior and fruiting season well as I was born and raised in a tropical area. Yet, my brain was shut when my ex-husband's cherimoya died after a winter, 20 years ago. Therefore I never ventured beyond (1) until now. As I saw huge fruit trees, 30-50 feet, when I was growing up, my brain was shut on (2) as well.
Do you get a lot of fruits from your Chico trees. I saw a video where he says Chico's flower will get dry if the temperature is too high and you will not get too many fruits. Arizona's temperature is very high in summer. Here is the video link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bkp1mI0g8oI.html
Yes, I have seen the video before. Its unfortunate that people that don't know what they are doing are selling trees to people here in the valley. Its very common here, actually almost every nursery here has no idea what they are selling or how to grow it. They absolutely work here. The flowers dry up because nobody waters anything here
