How do you keep the main trunk from rotting back all the way to the ground after you chopped it

Datawise speaking, what percentage of limbs do you leave to produce for the present year and what percent for the following year? I have an everbearing that goes great guns (both growing and producing) and it is about 14 feet tall. Of course, I have never touched it as there are always berries to pick from ground level. Will all your comments work for an everbearing tree? (Sorry, don't have a name for it.)

What size air pots are those?

Great video! Im on a quest to find a wild Red Mulberry Tree in SE Texas. I have located more than a dozen Mulberry trees that appear to be wild. They are either growing under powers or in fence rows. So far, I believe only 2 are pure bred Red Mulberry trees. I'm trying to propagate them from cuttings. My neighbor and I both have male Red Mulberry trees. His is huge and is a picture perfect example of a Red Mulberry in its shape! I have recently grafted some know female buds on my male tree, but they are white/hybrind Mulberry. I just recently (mid November) found the two Red Mulberry trees. So I will be grafting buds from them next spring. Plus taking cuttings!

I like to thank you for the informatiom for as I cut mine down last year when they froze without knowing that they re sprout now I have a few papayas on it now

I managed to get them to germinate from seed over winter here in South Africa. Thinking maybe I got very lucky

Thank you for the info But what do you feed them you talk about feeding with no details and I have no idea

10:51 once I took all the fruit off my tree bcuz I saw they were all stung. When I was picking them up off the ground, one buzzed in my hand and I screamed. Felt like there were 1,000 flies in it waiting to get out.

Fantastic, thank you! You answered exactly the questions I had regarding how mulberries set fruit, so I can prune them appropriately for my goals.

Beautiful!

When it comes to keeping plants for a longer period of time in pots before planting in the ground I can totally see how air pruning pots can produce better root systems and make taking them out of the pot with minimal root damage possible. But I have my doubts that they are better than normal pots for plants that you plan on keeping potted permanently. I've had plants break ceramic pots because they were so root bound, the plants were still doing well. I never had any of my long term potted plant suffer greatly from being root bound, other than just not having enough soil any more. At which point I'll repot into a bigger pot and make several vertical cuts top to bottom through all the roots that are circling the pot so as to encourage new roots to grow out into the new soil and interrupt any that have made around the full circumference of the pot. The pots drying out has generally been a far bigger issue when a plant has become very large, and the air pruning pots would only make that issue worse. Like I said I can see how using them to carry a seedling through an extra season or two before putting it in the ground might result in better root systems, though I've planted hundreds of citrus that had been in the plastic bags they were grown/grafted in far to long and making several vertical cuts through all the outer roots before planting generally works well enough to interrupt the roots from developing into a constrictive knot.

If you live at Riverview in Florida in the U.S. It has the same sort of latitude as Brisbane does in Queensland in Australia,it still gets pretty cool there because it can get down to 43°F & cooler. I live on a 32.66°S latitude in Australia & the biggest enemy of papaya plants there during winter time is frost & last winter was rain because I had a few of them growing in 13 gallon pots & all but one of them died of root rot because we got heaps of rain,so I live further south which means it's just a tad cooler than what Brisbanes climate is but not my much. They don't seem to grow as quickly as yours & I have a few more growing in my greenhouse as well,I have already replaced the dead papaya plants with some of them now ! I know that someone in Northern California has one growing in front of their house because the sun reflects off the house then back onto the plant in the morning which causes all of the frost to melt off the plant so they have provided that plant with a microclimate. Northern California has a climate comparable to Melbourne in Victoria in Australia which is a cool temperate climate whereas my area has a warm temperate climate Similar to what Brisbane has in Queensland in Australia,I am located closer to Sydney but !

You can eat the leaves as well!!! 😊

Please tell me what time you have to porning

Were you planning on showing some actual roots?

I have one in my garden, the roots spread as far as 20 feet and gives off baby trees all over my garden. I cut off the top and it is only about 6 ft tall and spread side ways over 6 ft wide.

I didnt know passionfruit could be trained like grapes. It was an idea i came up by myself. Pruning that way would be easier. Arbor style provides shade but the thought of purning all those overlapping vines, not for me. I'd strain my neck 😅 My plants are still small. Just bought them. Im thinking of doing some in hydroponic. I wonder how it'll go

Thank you for all the info! What and where did you those pots and lids for the tomato plants?

I have both of those trees, they are good. VP trees get much larger.

Calabura é o nome vulgar da espécie arbórea Muntingia calabura, da família Muntingiaceae. Seus frutos são pequenos, globosos e muito doces, sendo muito apreciados por aves e morcegos, peixes (IAC) tornando esta espécie muito importante para a atração da fauna em áreas de reflorestamentos. Originária das Americas, principalmente México e Peru, foi introduzida no Brasil pelo Instituto Agronômico de Campinas em 1960. O fruto é comestível, muito doce e com propriedades nutritivas. A árvore atinge até sete metros de altura e tem crescimento muito rápido, porém sua madeira é fraca, quebrando com facilidade com ventos fortes e tempestades

Do they die back in the winter that far south?

What about NPK?

Is red snapper tomatoes meaty?

Thank You Sir. Was looking for a Cherokee purple alternative. How would you rate this tomato in terms of sweetness? Is it sweeter than the Cherokee Purple or more tangy?

are there fibers? What would be the best mangos to grow and eat in your back yard?

Can the leaves burn in direct sunlight

Is covering the trunk necessary? I just cut mine and it’s full of water.

Do you have a source for it not fixing nitrogen?

I was hoping for a comparison video where someone takes a plant out of an air pot container and another plant of the same species out of a regular container and then washes off the soil to see the difference in root system.

It’s almost the end of May. I’m in south west FL… can I chop mine in half now or is it too hot? I only had one fruit that didn’t ripen enough and the rest of the buds fell off. It’s only a year old but about 8 ft tall and I need to spray because it did develop the brown spots and very few leaves left on canopy. Anyone in my area plz let me know if I can cut it now. TIA

no actually the fresh seed germinate faster>>>old dry seed takes a while and it needs heat and 100 percent humidity>>>AND PATIENCE>>LOTS OF PATIENCE

Really enjoyed watching for the 3rd time.

Excellent video...thanks! Here in the Piedmont of NC we own some heavily wooded creek bottom acreage. No hammocks, but the woods are 40-50 years old, with tree trunks up to 4 feet. I have not looked for Red Mulberry, but will take a close look this week. I knew nothing of mulberries until pasting a photo of an unknow-to-me tree into Pl@ntNet, which identified it as M. alba. That tree is about 20' tall, sited on the north edge of a line of cyprus and cedars at our house in town, which partially shade it through the midday. Near ideal mid-story. It's developing a heavy crop of fruit, which we look forward to eating and preserving. If you don't have Rubra cuttings, I'd love to add some (at least one!) Tice to the half-acre food forest we're developing in a forest clearing. Liked and subscribed. I'll reach out to you on FB. Thanks!

As a greenhore in N. FL I was considering the fruiting wood as second year since it was so close to the branch and I kept seeing videos saying first year so it was pretty confusing. If you just heard someone say first year wood I think most would prune heavy when dormant and you would loose a lot of berries in the spring and maybe get some on the tips later that year? I think pruning them after fruiting would be best as well, although you see lots of videos saying prune in winter? Thanks for going into more detail.

Great video. Thanks

This looks similar to Flacourtia Indica (Trinidad Cerise). It isn’t native to the Caribbean but might grow in your area. It is a sweet tasting delicious fruit.

Great video

i was forced to eat tomato when i was a child so hate it

Wow just planted two small 25 gallon live oaks and I didn’t even know the importance of the root flare location but when I planted them my father told me not too deep and I kinda had a small exposed part of the roots showing and I thought it wasn’t deep enough but my dad said it’s good it’s the tree’s “character root” is that another term for the root flare ?

Thank you for this movie i decided to buy 18 of air pots

You don't need a knife to cut that rubber strap from around the trunk, just unwrap it 🙄Poor tree.

thanks for sharing, sorry took me so long to notice the video!

Thank you for sharing! Hoping the strap was removed and root flare exposed 🙏

The video I'm looking for , thanks

Love the video! I'm considering this tree for my back yard. Wanted to downsize my lawn and shade my back yard (I'm on a 1/4 acre). I planted two Gumbo Limbo trees, love that tree but Brevard, FL seems too cold. Two frosts the past couple of winters caused them to die back. They do come back but probably won't achieve maturity, so the huge area in my back yard is still wide open I want to stick with native plants/trees and have several in other areas of my yard. Listening to your video has helped me decide on this tree. Thanks so much, new subscriber!

How much was the fruit. N what place in Tampa? I would love to take the fsmily to try some before we plant a tree

So it’s been about 2 years since you uploaded this video. I’d love to see how large your tree has gotten. I’m trying to figure out where to plant my tree and I’m curious how big they can actually get.

Has anyone else cut open a papaya and there were no seeds inside? Is this normal?

Thanks for your video. I'm in zone 9b sw Florida, and I noticed something was getting into my papaya trees. I topped off my tress last year when they got right under 6 feet. My 2 trees have about 10 fruit on them. Tomorrow, Im going to inspect my trees hose down the fruit and spray them with neem oil. I have the same organza bags that I can use to cover any of the smaller fruits. I have been watching a lot of TH-cam videos on growing papaya trees and one said to thin out your papayas when they are just about 1 inch to allow space for your papayas to grow without touching each other which I did not do but its not to late for me to thin them. It's only been 1 year since I started growing papaya trees. I used the organza bags on my tomatoes last year and they worked to keep the birds and pest away.

I'm in Louisiana watching this video and I looked up and I'm proud my oak trees have a root flare visible. They are very old trees and I didn't plant them
