This is a quick overview of the fruits we are growing here. Most varieties can't be found at your local stores.
I recommend my friend Hershell for all your citrus purchases.

Your orchard is definitely an inspiration. We are located in Waveland, MS so we can relate to weather conditions. Our fruit trees are a little younger, but your orchard is our goal. Thank you for updates and keep up the great work. We subscribed to keep up with your progress and get ideas for our area.

@@FlomatonFamous Thank you very much! We are on a smaller plot of land that totals 4 acres. We have been planting fruit trees and clearing the area while spreading 23 truck loads (8 yards per truck) on a 1/3 of an acre plot for our next rotation of fruit trees. We will stay tuned to your channel for additional inspiration and guidance. Our trees are young, but we are preparing for the future.

Are you spreading dirt because you have a lot of sand there? We have a total of 3.5 acres and half of that is pecan trees that don't produce.

@@FlomatonFamous Montgomery. Have a few trees from The Wildlife Group, including a Shell! Was pleasantly surprised to hear how yours was doing. Ours is around 5 years old and has had early blooms as early as Jan. and even after a freeze has managed to put on some apples. Nothing else blooming most seasons so I don't know how it gets pollinated. So far my most productive apple tree.

Duncan grapefruit comes true from seed. I have 2, 1 tree produced last year/this year. Had 35 or so on it. (A few still on it.) First fruit--about 6 or 7 years old. Tree is 15 feet tall probably. I plan to judiciously top it some later this year. Fruit were very good and large. They were real high up, too. Very seeded, too! Thanks for showing us your orchard and reporting!

I've got everything from Figs, Peaches, Plums, Pluots, Pluerry, Cherries, Pears, Citrus Galore, Mulberry, Raspberry, Black and Blueberry, Grapes, Persimmons, Apricot, Apples, Loquats, Dragonfruit, PawPaws, Avocados, Bananas, & many tropical fruiting trees I overwinter in my greenhouse.

Your apricot performed just like my trees that I had in Jackson County, FL about 30 years ago. When they got old enough to flower, they got a blossom blight and died! It seems that any type of stress will kill them here. If they don't bloom, they will last several years, it seems!

@FlomatonFamous
@FlomatonFamous 2 года назад
If you are an hour south of me then your chill hours will be less than mine. My location gets about 500 chill hours a year. The best peaches will be any of the Florida varieties. Florida King, Queen, Prince. Apples will be Shell, Anna, Ein Shamier. Plums will be Shiro, or Santa Rosa. Thank you so much for asking.
