On hot days that we have been having, I water every other day. Also I have about a foot of wood chips to help retain moisture. My banana plants are on the East side of the house, so they get morning sun and afternoon shade.

Thanks for watching. Most of the seeds will grow. If it is a mono embryonic seeds, you may want to graft it eventually with a known variety that you like, but new varieties are created from monoemryonic seeds. Sometimes they taste good and sometimes they don't.

Did your die from the cold in the winter? They don't like temperatures below freezing and need to be protected.

@@edibletropicaltrees I think it was too much direct sun, transplanted it, and should of shaded it the first year or two till it acclimated to its new spot.

I'm in Mesa, Arizona and mine has always been in direct sun with no problems. I do use sulfur to lower the pH of the soil, so it can absorb nutrients better. It got a little too cold in winter and I didn't protect it and the top branches froze a little, but other than that mine has been growing great.

There is one seed inside each white pillow. Sometimes it looks like different sections, but it's best not to break them apart or you will damage it.

Thanks for watching. They are several different shapes, but they are my favorite.

Don't have bricks for all the trees. A few bricks were donated by that company as an advertisement to try and sale more.

The first time I use that mix for gnats, there was over 100 dead gnats at the bottom, within one hour.

What climate zone are you in? I grow a lot of trees from cuttings. Mulberry trees grow pretty fast. PM me.

@@edibletropicaltrees zone 10a

Not yet, I usually wait 1 year from the time we remove the pups.

@@edibletropicaltreesthank you

Thanks for watching.

To promote fruit growth add a fertilizer high in Phosphorus and Potassium. These two vitamins help in producing flowers and fruiting.

It takes 3 to 5 years for Soursops to set fruit even if they get flowers. In their native land beetles are the pollinators. If you don't have the right pollinators, you may have to hand pollinate them.

@@edibletropicaltrees ok great thanks again

Thanks for watching. I grow a lot of different kinds of tropical trees. I do agree the Rambutans do taste better. We do have a Facebook page also: Mesa AZ Tropical Fruit Trees. That page shows a lot of different types of trees that I'm growing. I like to encourage people to grow different types of trees. My cousin and I are also members of the Arizona Rare Fruit Growers group. We have a month meeting where we can share ideas and scions. We have a bi-yearly tree sale.

Thanks for watching. Good luck with your Longans.

Thanks for watching. I've been eating the Moringa Tree leaves, flowers, and pods for over 15 years and feel I am healthier because of them.

Thanks for that information Monty.

Thanks for watching. I agree with you the Cavendish is a little slower grower. My Dwarf Orinoco is faster growing and the only one with bananas growing on it right now. I also have Regular and Dwarf Grand Nain, and Nam Wah.

Thanks for watching. This tree is a Sri Chompoo and is in a garden that my cousin Monty and I help take care of, so I'm not sure exactly how old it is.

Thanks for watching. You can actually buy different varieties of Mangos 🥭 at Makong Market on South West side of Main Street & Dobson.

I've been growing Moringa trees for over 15 years and have planted them 18 inches from block walls and slabs with no problems. They have more of a tap root that grows down like a carrot.

Each variety of fig tree is different, if it's in a container or in ground and it also depends on what climate zone you are in.

Is it in a container or in the ground? They like to put down a tap root, so if it's in a container, they won't grow as fast.

@@edibletropicaltrees it just sits on a brick patio in a pot.

That's why it's not getting any bigger. As soon as the tape root hits the bottom of the container, it will stop growing.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, I'm really hoping to be able to taste them this year.

Thanks!

The main pollinators are bees. They usually only flower only once, but can flower for up to 2 months.

@edibletropicaltrees ok thanks. I gotta get some bees

Sometimes you can attract more bees with other flowering plants that the bees really like.

PS just like all of my peaches and nectarines. This variety blooms from March to April, absolutely stunning beauty. Never heard of Desert Joe, I would love to hear your review. This year of 9 different varieties. I giving myself the award to Galaxy peach. It's sooo dope, just like a Stark yet bigger and more juicier and better gourmet flavor.

On peaches my favorite is Desert Gold. And nectarines my favorite is Desert Dawn. They are all delicious, those are just my favorite ones. It's been 118° F here also.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, I'm The Crazy Tree Guy. I have over 400 trees growing. I want to be able to pick fruit 365 days a year. I like encouraging others to plant more trees also.

@edibletropicaltrees fantastic mission. I'd be like an Alice in Wonderland in your garden I'm sure.

I bought the Turmeric at an Asian Market. I've never seen it at a regular supermarket. Asian Markets have a lot of things like Jack Fruit, Mamey Sapote, Durian, etc. that I've been able to buy and plant seeds and grow.

I grow a lot of different types of Mangos from seeds. If they are monoemryonic seeds, then I graft a known variety to that tree.

@@edibletropicaltrees Look at the title of your video. My comment stands. You can't do that.

Thanks for watching.

Moringa trees don't really like cold weather. I've heard some people during the cold weather, cut them back and putting a wire fence around them and fill it with straw, to try and keep them warmer during the cold weather. It doesn't get cold enough where I live in Mesa, Arizona to worry about the weather.

Thanks for watching. I have 20 Moringa trees growing at my house.

@@edibletropicaltrees I hope to catch up to you one day!

I know I bought it on the Internet, but I don't remember exactly where.

These are a little more rare. I got cuttings from someone in the Arizona Rare Fruit Growers group. That's were I get a lot of rare things I'm growing. I think they have gardening groups like this in most states. I also get fruit at the Asian Markets and get seeds from them to grow.

Thanks for the. It tasted so good!

Thanks for watching. This is the first main crop Fig. This tree was only a cutting 18 months ago.

@@edibletropicaltrees thanks for your response. I have rooted two cuttings of Nixon Peace this year and hoping to put one in the ground next year. It is such a fast and vigorous grower.

Yes it is a fast grower. Other Fig trees that grow fast are: Peter's Honey, Panache Tiger, and Yellow Long Neck.

Thanks for watching. I'm in zone 9b, so it doesn't get too cold for them in my area. Moringa trees don't like cold weather. They are such fast growing trees, growing in containers doesn't work very well. Cutting them back and putting the cage around them, like you did, is the best way to try and get them through the winter in colder areas, because they don't like colder weather.

I put cuttings in 16 oz clear cups so I can see when they get roots. Then I put another cup over the top of the cutting to help with moisture. Black Madeira are slower growing, so may take a little longer to root.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and giving your location.

Thanks for watching. They had some Durian fruit at the Asian Market also, but it was in the freezer, so the seeds wouldn't have been viable. Sometimes they have fresh Durian, so next time they have fresh Durian I will get some and do a video.

@@edibletropicaltrees I agree with you , the durian fruit is usually preserved in the freezer . If you see the fresh one next time try it , a lot people don’t like the way it smells but I really eating it! It’s pricey than the jackfruit !

They're not the easiest plant to graft. Somehow a fungus usually attacks both the scion & grafting union. The seeds are super easy to germinate sometimes they're already germinating in the fruit. I'm wondering if you sanitize the grafting tools as well as probably treating both the rootstock & scion with some kinda anti fungal treatment would minimize or eliminate fungus infestation?

Thanks for watching and commenting.

You can use cactus potting soil from the store, but I'm actually using 30% Peat Moss, 30% mulch, 20% Sand, and 20% Perlite.
