I have a running list of all the plants/varieties I want to plant in my future permaculture food forest and every time you do one of these videos it gets longer! Thanks so much for all the quality content you put out!!!!
Greetings from Germany. Wanted to mention black thorn berries which could be harvested only after the first frost and hawthorn (crataegus) which is also a fall berry.
I live locally, and was looking for just such a list! Keep them coming, I’d love to hear about native plants that also provide food while I slowly replace my lawn. Thanks a ton!
We're in zone 7b and we're enjoying the fall gold raspberry after we've been harvesting continuously autumn bliss raspberries. We have different varieties of raspberries so that we can harvest from April until the end of November. They are such a treat. I get exited about your fuju persimon as well. The leaves are beautiful in fall and it's great that you can harvest them so late in the year 👍 but I just checked how expensive they are 😲
Thanks for sharing I always hear about a fruit that is new to me in your videos. I have grown ground cherries and my daughter loves the fuyu persimmons too.
The Physalis fruits are also great to dry like raisins, which gives them a slight vanilla taste on top of the warm pineapple! They will even dry in the husks, if like me you get distracted with all the other things in life and forget them on the counter :) My Mom has a 40 yr old Fuyu persimmon near you with heavy fruiting every year, she harvests when just a blush of orange, they ripen slowly in a cool room, like an unheated garage, and with good air circulation. If we lucky we will have ripe persimmons for Christmas. My farm is in zone 9B, but right on the coast, so doesn't get warm enough for Asian persimmons, sure do miss them! Another Raspberry to consider is a red one I found a few years back, named Indian Summer. Gives two crops with the main one being right now. Not as much of a problem with the two-spotted fruit fly in the fall.
I've actually got a few american persimmon saplings I planted just this last spring! Now I've just gotta get some fruit trees or bushes for the rest of the growing season
Our first frost is usually early October, but some things really keep producing well through November due to some warmer microclimates. Our caroline raspberries are still going nicely. Our jujubes seems to keep ripening right up to the first frost which generally strips all the foliage almost immediately. You might have better luck with an earlier variety that ripens during your "dry" part of early fall (Honey Jar is my earliest). Late season apples are such a great option. We have an enterprise as our late season apple, but I plan on adding a couple more "specialty" varieties. I think some of my favorite varieties are late or very late. I'll try cape gooseberries / ground cherries next year. I think we have native ones around here (I'm way too paranoid to try them), but I'll try some named varieties for the fancier fruit.
Lemme tell you about late season fruit. This year was so weird, my summer squash gave me a massive squash in September. 😂 I’ll make a list of these too. But I had to share that with you, since you’re in the same area as us.
I got a ridiculous amount of summer squash this year!! I pulled plants that were still blooming in early Oct bc I was sick of eating zukes and my freezer has a year’s supply of shredded summer squash in it!!
Lol! I had only 1 good squash. This year was so messed up. I didn’t try zucchini because I haven’t had luck with them the last two years. Pill bugs been eating all of them. But I did squash in a cardboard box nestled into wood chips and that worked. So will be doing it again next year! Will try Zucchini again.
I love what you are growing! The Last fruit is my favourite! Cape Gooseberry! Im struggling to grow them but hope to do so soon! Hey from Melbourne! :)
I have them growing happily in morning sun and afternoon shade here in Adelaide in a well composted soil. Not sure how they will go once the summer heat arrives (more shelter and water?). I tend to eat them as garden snacks when they look orangey but left a bowl of them, still in their husks, on the counter for a week os so before checking them today. I like them but I have been eating them too soon - these ones are darker orange and much sweeter but still with that nice acidic tang. Flavour of their own but elements of pineapple and melon. Keep with it, I’m sure you can get them to grow and they are worth it. I have had fruits from late winter but greater volume and better fruit as the weather has warmed up a bit.
Yes, I've had them on cakes while growing up in Dubai 🤤🤣 then I came here and found them more often! Now I'm trying to grow them so hopefully you'll see a video on that soon 😀 Thanks for your explanation of the flavour much tastier how you explained it hehehe 🤗
I had already taken these suggestions on board and am planting Fuyu, Jujube and, Negrone Fig this fall. I hope they can handle Northern German climate. Will try to plant out some physalis next spring, so far I had kept one in a big pot and overwintered it in the basement. However not happy with the harvest this year, so changing tactics. Any Feijoas this year?
Note to self: medlar fruit tastes like tamarind. Buy a good variety of edible rose for large rosehips. Fugi persimmons take 7 years before fruiting. Peach colored raspberry is a late season berry. All are late season fruits.
What variety of rose do you have? I have heard that rose hips vary greatly in flavor. I’ve also read that the more fragrant the rose the sweeter the hip. I’ve planted a rugosa rose for hips. I would love your opinion. Also I live in zone 10 a and guavas are also a reliable fall fruit.
What was the name of the one with split fruit please? Not something I recognised at all, nor the name. In our food forest in UK we are still busy with late apples, and the same fall gold raspberries - they have been very prolific. Still Chilean guava berries to come.
I grew Chilean guavas for about five years and loved them. But twice had snow and cold weather events kill them off. It can get too cold for too long where I am to keep them going reliably, which makes me sad bc I love the fruit. I’ve thought about growing them in a sheltered unheated greenhouse.
@@ParkrosePermaculture thank you, that is definitely a new plant to me, I will enjoy looking it up. What a shame about the Chilean guava. You must have more extended periods of cold than us. Thanks v much, loving all your videos. ❤️
