Freezing temps are in the forecast, it's time to protect our tropical fruit trees! We're using two different methods today - heavy mulching and mini greenhouses. We're also experimenting with our banana's frost tolerance!

We hope everyone has an AWESOME day!

This video is so helpful for me. I lost all my plum blossoms this year because of bad weather.

a tip : watch series at Kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

@rogelioanakin759 3 года назад

@Marshall Turner Yea, I've been using KaldroStream for since november myself :)

@fisherlee3262 3 года назад

@Marshall Turner definitely, I have been using KaldroStream for since december myself =)

@okcpermaculture5509 8 лет назад

Just curious. How did the Ice Cream Bananas do through the winter? How low of a temperature did they see?

@krizzle1986 6 лет назад

Thank you for the video gonna try the same for all my plants

@MasterKenfucius 3 года назад

Why are you not watering them? Studies have shown that dehydrated plants suffer MORE from freezes than the ones with proper watering. Besides, if your ground is wet, that makes it harder to freeze because the liquid provides a conductor for the 72 degrees the soil is at and the surface. People often put plastic bottles filled with water at the foot of their trees to make it harder to freeze in the protected space. Get yourself some Agro-Fabric. It will trap the heat coming from the ground and/or any heat sources you add and keep the temperature under the fabric 8 degrees above the temperature of the outside. Plastic is bad because it doesn't breathe.

@GreeniesGarden 2 года назад

We have learned a lot since uploading this video, and you're absolutely correct -- we've learned that watering the ground well before a frost helps our plants survive the winter better than a makeshift greenhouse! Thanks for sharing all these tips!

Nice work mate 👍🏻

@ufoman4468 Год назад

Great idea, But here in the part of the UK where i live. The High winds would smash it apart . Thank you for the thought though.

@penelopepoopstein3055 6 лет назад

Have you considered moving to a place where you could grow all of those plants, without the hassle of protecting, or even watering them? South Florida is cheaper than the California desert....

@GreeniesGarden 6 лет назад

When we visited South Florida this summer, that thought definitely crossed our mind. We do love a challenge though! :D

@TruckTaxiMoveIt 3 года назад

Nice food forest you have there I am a little bit concerned about your setup when it comes to wind it looks like it might be a little vulnerable especially around the mango

@mirriulahmirriulah1319 5 лет назад

Mate I would like to know if the protection for the mango worked as you expected please

@Stephen_Strange 4 года назад

No doubt the Mango wasn't protected enough. Bubble wrap and hessian sack cloth along with that enclosure may have helped but it needs the extra warmth from something radiating. I have to bring mine indoors.

@DavidOlver 6 лет назад

@alisonmiller2708 5 лет назад

What state or planting zone are you gardening in?

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

We're just outside of Phoenix, AZ -- our ZIP code doesn't have an associated zone, but from we can figure, we're about 8b or 9a

@MsFishingdog 8 лет назад

great video. thanks

@bp3sfishingchannel518 5 лет назад

What's the thinnest plastic that you can use? Will a 4mil work?

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

Sorry this is a little late, you can definitely try with 4 mil! We haven't used that personally but let us know how it did if you used it!

@wcbassler 2 года назад

I have used a 5 mil plastic on various plants over the years with no issues. It's readily available and don't cost much.

@trixycat 3 года назад

Did it work? :)

@claudializbethsantos7891 7 лет назад

awesome video!! where did you purchase your banana trees?

@arielcortez7393 6 лет назад

Nice set-up, will this work for young avocado trees? Your thoughts on this

@GreeniesGarden 6 лет назад

Yes it should work similarly for all trees, just be careful with your avocado if it is still a baby :)

@Chupacabra_up_your_butt 3 года назад

What kind of plastic did you use to wrap around the plants?

@wcbassler 2 года назад

Looks like a painters drop cloth type plastic. I tried a 5 mil one last year on my apple tree and it worked fine.

@GreeniesGarden 2 года назад

Good eye! Glad it worked for you!

@GreeniesGarden 2 года назад

Painter's plastic is what we used to use, but you can also try burlap or frost cloth :)

@toitesting2776 7 лет назад

very helful video

@syedwarsi11 6 лет назад

Did the protection work? and can you just mulch the mangoes?

@alexgottmituns7049 7 лет назад

What are the lowest temps you had/have in your garden? 10F?

@GreeniesGarden 7 лет назад

We've only been gardening about a year, and we've never put a thermometer in our yard, but the lowest predicted temperature for our zip code in the past year was around 27F last winter.

@MrVPNG 8 лет назад

Hello! Cool videos! Can you make a video that directly addresses the mango trees? The care and how you address sub 40 degrees? I live in Bay Area zone 9a/b and would like to grow mango trees but everyone has advised me not to. I see y'all doing it so please share your strategies to ensure the mango survives (and thrives).

@GreeniesGarden 8 лет назад

When the temperatures drop later this fall, we'll definitely do some videos on winter protection again. We definitely encourage you to try growing anything that someone tells you that you can't grow in your zone! Remember that container growing is also an option that could be helpful if it gets really cold in your area. Keep watching and we'll get some frost protection videos up later this year! Have an awesome day! :D

@Toomuchbullshitt Год назад

They should grow well enough to survive year round but the thing is mangoes need a hot, dry weather season of at least 85 F or above to successfully flower and fruit.

@hadarahbatyah 4 года назад

Not as well as we had hoped!

@Mumin.Gardens 8 лет назад

Are you planing on leaving the plastic on all winter, even if you get some warm/hot days in winter? i just set mine up here in socal but our weather is weird we would have a cold day/night then randomly have a hot or warm day.

@GreeniesGarden 8 лет назад

Our weather has been similar, we're hearing on the forecast that because of the hurricanes, it's going to be a warm winter. Fingers crossed! We're leaving the plastic up so we can wrap them quickly if need be, but are leaving the "doors" open so there's good air flow during the day. We'll update! :)

@Mumin.Gardens 8 лет назад

Awesome ! I think I will also do the same then. Thanks

@sharmilarajeswaran687 5 лет назад

Do you have any updates how the trees did in the winter. I have a moringa tree and worried about this winter

@esperanzagilmore4567 5 лет назад

do you cover the top at night or just leave it open? thanks

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

We covered the top as well to try to block any cold air from getting in. Then open it back up during the day after the temperatures have come back up above freezing so the tree doesn't cook inside! :D

@jelloh9622 5 лет назад

Wanna ask of you have an idea how to protect lemongrass in winter?

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

Ours hasn't died back at all in the winter, but maybe try some frost cloth?

@jelloh9622 5 лет назад

@@GreeniesGarden thank you.

@jelloh9622 5 лет назад

One more query..... what state you are from? I have 2 morimga trees and covering them right now wheat straw and plastic for greenhouse and we are down 28° tonight. Hope they can make it through.

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

We are in Arizona. It gets into the 20s for us every winter. It sounds like you have a good frost protection plan in place, let us know how they did! You might be able to just grow them as annuals every year if they can't handle the cold.

@jelloh9622 5 лет назад

So far so good even the other night we had some flurries but they were bundled up. Keep updating in spring if they can really make it. You have a nice garden with those tropical fruits around it.

@olivialiu5647 3 года назад

what is the wrap that you used to wrap around the tree? I mean the product name? Thanks.

@GreeniesGarden 3 года назад

It's called painter's plastic. A frost blanket may be better for your plants.

@laknarasim 8 лет назад

Where can we get mulch/dry leaves in Phoenix ?

@GreeniesGarden 7 лет назад

Call any organic landscaper and ask if they could deliver a "clean" load of wood chips to your house! It saves them a trip to the landfill plus associated expenses. Or, ask your neighbors for their pine needles or leaves!

How cold does it get in the winter??

@GreeniesGarden 5 лет назад

We got down to 20 degrees last winter, it always dips below the frost point out in the Queen Creek area! Definitely makes growing subtropical fruit trees a challenge!
