Nothing too spectacular but they do turn reddish before the leaves fall off

@@melonbythesea yes, these do need a different variety for pollination

@@woodenhill6314 So far the squirrels don't seem interested in the pawpaws although they love apples and peaches and everything else... Maybe that's the secret?! You might try putting out a bird feeder. That will keep the squirrels occupied all day long, possibly sparing your fruit. The people next door have feeding stations and that might help us as well since they eat bird seed and corn all day long

@@MatthewsFabrication that's a good question... I'm not sure if figs would drop their leaves and go dormant if it doesn't get cold... If not then grow lights would work great! Basically treat it like a citrus tree for the winter

@@nightrunner1456 Michigan, although this particular place is no longer open unfortunately

@@whaleonitduster3402 The addiction is definitely very real! We just had our first apple from these grafts, a Cox Orange Pippin, so I can only imagine once the tree really gets going

We're in NY about an hour south of Buffalo

That's a great idea! I'll try to film that video this weekend

@@LennyPiazza-kh7dr I probably would just to be safe .. you could put them back out once it's not as cold during the day

@@captiveroots3037 Thanks. That is what I figured also.

I know! I'm hoping that I just missed them somehow so I'll definitely check once the leaves drop

Nope, just the dehumidifier. It stays about 20-30% humidity in winter... Not great for the plants but needed for the basement

@@captiveroots3037 I'm planning to put the citrus trees in the basement this winter after watched your video. Is a dehumidifier necessary?

@stanl8187 not for the trees... It's actually not great for them to be super dry but we need one in our basement. If you don't already use one the trees definitely don't need it

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp they grow amazingly well here!

@@OsirusHandle They definitely do... For us they're a September into October crop whereas most peppers start ripening mid August

@captiveroots3037 thanks!

Sorry, none to sell yet but hopefully in the future as the trees get bigger!

Sorry, I don't have any to sell unfortunately

Not really... If anything it's a slight pollen type smell but nothing noticeable

@captiveroots3037 thanks a lot for your info..🙏

@@scottjones4888 I didn't this time but it's not a bad idea just to get more surface area .. I set the smoker to 200-250. It's not incredibly accurate but it's close enough to do a pretty good job.

@@captiveroots3037 what temp for dehydrator

@@robertszabo4479 oh yeah, it's a common occurrence for certain citrus trees. They'll grow back either over winter or once they get back outside

@@mikecf1 Thank you for the kind words! Your larger trees should be fine with sun, especially once they are a couple years old. I bet wind is the issue, because of their large leaves they can get beat up on especially windy days.

@@2muchfun190 I would give them about 4-5 feet from the fence, and 6-8 feet between trees.

@@captiveroots3037 Thanks!!

@@cosmoblack2852 Thank you! I would definitely be interested in hearing how the plants do!

@@brishellrodriguez I definitely have to grow it again and give it better growing conditions!

That should be fine depending on variety... As long as it's above freezing I would think it would be ok, but definitely check the cold hardiness of the variety

@captiveroots3037 i don't know the variety however it is a sucker from a fig that currently grows in SE Michigan.

@@DawnieGTheBeekeeper it should be fine in the garage... Most figs can survive down to 20 degrees or so and your garage would be well above that

@@starinthesky1520 I've definitely been there ... Good news is these trees almost always bud out and flower a year or two before the fruit actually sticks, so you likely didn't delay any harvest in the future

@@captiveroots3037 thanks I feel better 😀 I was told that paw paw trees from suckers will not fruit, so I was excited to see she is making 2 different buds, that's how I got here to see your nice video 😍

I left them outside in the winter and they all died, unfortunately. So that was a learning experience for sure

@@captiveroots3037 oof! Do you have an idea of what happened? Do you think it got too cold or perhaps did they dry out?

@@GrahamSEdwards definitely too cold... All the pots froze solid over the winter but they were definitely still moist with all the snow and the freeze/thaw cycles... It was a real bummer!

@@CalisthenicTraining I just let them sprawl for the most part, although I have seen people use metal wire to support the canes and keep them more upright

You'll need at least two different varieties for pollination but you could plant 2 in 1 hole if space is an issue

I put them in clumps about a foot apart to begin with, but pretty soon after they become a giant mass of plants and fill the entire area in. It doesn't affect productivity to crowd these. In fact they produce like crazy!

@@captiveroots3037 Good to know. I'm ordering 3 fall gold raspberries tomoorow :)

@@Rafeezy707 ajvarski and Jimmy Nardello are both amazing sweet peppers

@@captiveroots3037 thank you for the reply, I’ll look into those!

@@sarahpetrea4634 that's an exciting discovery!

@@BeKindBeKindBeKind I film the video with no talking then voice over afterwards. Helps to avoid having to film multiple takes! Much easier to erase and rerecord narrations

@@byzon123 probably would be perfect depending on how cold it gets. Our root cellar room gets down to the low 40s and it's perfect

@@captiveroots3037 doesn’t get no where near freezing just stays cool all winter And being in complete darkest wont harm it ? Thanks for you reply

@byzon123 complete darkness is fine, because it will drop all of its leaves during winter. That sounds like a perfect spot for it! Cool is good so that it doesn't wake up early and start to leaf out in the dark. That's no good but only happens if it's too warm in late winter/early spring

That's a great question! To be honest I'm not sure because most of our trees are grafted, but all of the fruit I've purchased from people growing select seedlings has been pretty good. I would say you have a much better chance with pawpaw than something like apples, where there's so much variance from the parent plant

@@captiveroots3037 thanks so much:)
