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. www.madisoncitrusnursery.com
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.
Thanks for the tour! Always nice to see what grows well for others in a similar environment (south/central AL here, with relatives in the FL panhandle).
@@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!
This was a awesome helpful video! I’m in zone 8 here in South Carolina and have been looking for videos that have information about more exotic fruits that will grow here. Great job!
Funny thing, I did t have any LSU varieties for a least a year just because I'm an Alabama fan lol. Now they are one of my favorites and I love visiting my Louisiana friends every year. We just got back a few minutes ago. New fig video to follow very soon. What variety do you have?
I'm over in Pensacola. How you doing neighbor? I've been creating my own food forest/ orchard. It's very inspiring to see what you've created. Most of my trees got put in 2020-2022. 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.
Hey neighbor, sounds like you have an awesome setup. We are putting in a greenhouse real soon so we will be doing the same. I’d like to check out your place sometime.
Figs love rocks and pebbles at the base of trunk that will help your slow growing one .also pruning open center will make all stone fruit .better yield
I'm glad I watch the video I went to the nursery that you and sent them an email at some oranges and kumquats I'm interested in we're over here in coffee county Alabama. It's hard to find somebody with a RU-vid channel but shows fruit trees success and failures from Alabama so thank you for your channel
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!
Here in SC zone 8a we have an awesome citrus farm, McKenzie Farms, Scranton, SC where you can order online many citrus varieties that will do well this zone, (if you are too far away and can't actually visit there.)
I ordered my scion from Larry Stephenson, I just grafted one or two of these onto rootstock. I will have to check to see if I have a tree that will be for sale this year.
Im trying to learn nore about planting trees and taking care of them and I really appreaciate this video ! one question, how to you make your trees grow like that ? they all look similar even being different trees
I found this video on Facebook and was going to go back to discussion of food forest and now I don't know where the post is 🤣... What group was that in?
What is the best Apple, Peach, and Plum tree to grow here in South East Alabama? Just getting started and seen where you only live about an hour from me. Your input would be appreciated!
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.
@@FlomatonFamous awesome! I’m from Washington County (due west of flomaton) and stumbled on your page by chance. Great videos and I will be following you for more advice! Thanks!
@@sethhunter4140 then your chill hours will be the same, I would also add Apples: Smith of Mississippi, and St. Clair. Peaches would be Louisiana varieties, Feliciana, Peche, and Sam Houston along with Georgia Belle. Welcome and thanks for watching!
Nice video sir! I’m in south Mississippi, currently building my orchard, I would be interested in buying a couple scions from that shell apple, if you would be interested in selling!
I live in the Hattiesburg area. Wish I could make it to the class, I’m waiting on some rootstock and scions now to do my first grafts. I’ve done a couple approach grafts on citrus last year, but this will be my first year grafting apples and pears.
@@FlomatonFamous I prune all my friends trees each year. Free just so they can actually have some fruit. Lots of times the trees fruit the same year after years of nothing
@@FlomatonFamous it will love you for it. 1: Don’t let any branches touch 2: Prune inside to out. 3: Prune all branches growing into the center. PRUNE HEAVY
