I am waiting for the key limes on my one thorned key lime tree to get more ripe before i pluck anymore. I got a young fruit off it a few weeks ago about the size of my thumb and wow very lime, made my lips tingly. lol
When I harvest the rest I plan to juice most of them and use for Limeade. Last year I had enough lemon and lime juice to even freeze some to use later.
why do some fruit have that nub and others don’t?
I don't know why that is but there can definitely be some variation in size and shape of fruit, I have harvested meyer lemons that are as round as oranges and others that have the more classic lemon shape from the same tree.
how well has it grown?
It is growing well, it is 3 gallon nursery pot now; I topped it at about 18 inches several weeks ago and its starting to branch out nicely .. I will try to make sure to show it in upcoming video
Very cool. First time seeing its seeds. You could probably sell them as starts. I know mornings is pretty popular 👍👍 How’s the duckling doing?
Duck is doing well. I just opened up both ends of its pen 2 days ago so it can leave and go out to the pond if it wants but it was still hanging out in its pen area today when I got home from work
Where are you in eastern North Carolina, I’m by Wilmington?
I am about halfway between Fayetteville and Raleigh near Dunn
Man that’s a lucky snake feels so good to have a huge distended belly after a meal
I’m glad I found your video. I ordered these this summer online. They’re in pots now but I want to plant them in ground
Hi .. thanks for watching
Great video keep up the great work
Thanks for watching :)
In citrus which rootstock u have used
The only trees that I have propagated myself are rooted cuttings. The grafted trees I have were purchased from different nurseries and are in a few different rootstocks; US-897, Rich 16-6, C-32, US-802, Flying Dragon, and couple that I am unsure of what they are.
Great collection of trees. I am also in SE carolina and was wondering what you do in the winter with your container citrus? Do you move them into a greenhouse and keep them there all winter, or do you move them outside on warm winter days? I moved my citrus in and out during winter, but had a lot of defoliation. Trying to figure out how to best prevent defoliation.
I have been moving them in and out in the earlier part of the season but once winter fully hits I pretty much leave them in the greenhouse until the spring unless we end up with an extended period of warmer weather.
I got a new zealand lemonade tree from madison citrus nursery recently. very happy with the quality of their tree's and how well they shipped it. :)
That is good one to add to your collection.
I have a small in ground Xie Shan mandarin. First fruits were not that good but it is a really small tree. Should improve with age.
I am hoping it will fruit earlier than some of the others so will be less need to protect fruit from freeze.
i'll have to check that nursery out and maybe order a couple more tree's :)
I’m loving your expanded citrus collection. I look forward seeing how they fair out after winter.
Thanks. I am hoping we have a mild winter.
@@tdhomestead just protect the root zone with mulch and the graft junction with pipe insulation. The canopy can always recover if root and graft is protected.
I had the chance to taste the Xie Chan right off the tree that was planted in the ground from Simply Citrus Nursery during the Citrus Expo 2023 in Columbia. Absolutely great tasting flavor.
Thank you for doing an unboxing video and thank you for trusting us for our citrus trees. We love watching the success people are having with their trees in zones that aren't typically thought to be citrus friendly. Cant wait to see the updates in the future. If you have any questions we may be able to help with, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Keep up the good work and happy growing! PS. Even we cant pronounce Shiro.. correctly!
I did not think he was going to be able to do it. HIs eyes were not bigger than his stomach(or mouth).
Something must’ve happened to momma. I would grow it out for thanksgiving or Christmas and put it in the freezer since there’s only one.
I was thinking the neighbors dog probably got the momma duck

This was so helpful thank you 🙏🏻
Man it was amazing and terrible to watch. 😮
It was a bit of a startle when it fell from the tree and we saw what it was.
looking good!
Mine were doing "ok" until my chickens and thw drought was too much for them 😮
TD,those are some cute micro tomatoes- nice n' compact. My seedling carambola is a very attractive five foot potted tree even if the fruit dont prove to be that good. Love those banana peppers.Cant ever get enough of em.Thanks for this video showing off your garden!
Nice lookin figs. My Violette de B. and Olympian figs are doin good in seven gallon pots. Did you get the Prague citrus from Stan M. In SC? You' ve got quite a variety of fruits esp. the citrus. Must keep you busy. Thanks for the video tour of your plants!
Hi .. yes, I got the Prague from Stan. McKenzie Farms is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. Thanks for watching.
I got the ten degree tang. In ground here in east Tenn.Got em from Stan theCitrus Man and some feijoas and paw paws.What a great guy,that Stan. I like your mini greenhouse- just what I need for the coming winter. Thanks for this helpful video!
Nice looking citrus. Hope my ten degree tangerine and Browns Select will do well in ground here in eastern Tenn.Those skeeters are bad now - they leave just enough of me for the wasps and yellow jackets.Just kidding! Good luck on those citrus and thanks for this video!
I’m over in Wake County. I have a 2 yr old Satsuma Mandarin. Should I plant outside this Fall? Or keep it in the pot and over winter it in our garage?
I would probably keep in garage for the winter and wait until spring to plant in ground to give it a little time to establish in ground before having to deal with the colder temps. I still do not have my owari satsuma planted in ground. I did plant a changsha mandarin and a ten degree tangerine which are supposed to be a little more cold hardy than owari satsuma. Depending on how those do I will likely try planting one of my satsumas in griund in the spring.
Most of my tomato plants died despite frequent watering. Heat has been brutal at times, since April 1st! That's unheard of here in Maryland, zone 7. Eggplant and peppers have suffered as well but kale has done well. Tough year for vegetable gardeners.
From Pahrump, Nevada. Same here. Not a good year for tomatoes and peppers. The heat wave was brutal. 11 days of 115 degrees or more. Even with shade cloth on planters.
My tomatoes are a disaster this year. Triad area, NC poor rain fall for all of July.
I dont know where all the white flies are coming from this year. Filling every yellow trap I put out. I bought a 10 inch x 30' Yellow sticky trap and put pieces near the tomatoes before tapping the plants and letting the cloud of flies land on the tape. I'm getting tomatoes, but the plants are clearly not as healthy as they should be.
❤❤❤🎉
Thank you for sharing, very good tomatos ❤❤❤
Nice US-942, that should be bulletproof in 8a. Ten°Tangerine should do good as well. I got one in 7b that I only give light protection on coldest nights.
Great video.😍
Hello friend, greetings I am from Indonesia, I just connected you, nice to saw your video, I like agriculture thnak you ❤
I too have a food forest. Nothing better than to reap what you sow. Your plants are looking good.
Everything is looking beautiful 😊
I’ve had better production from store bought over seed here.
Great job sir
thank you
Hi there! Your garden is awesome. I see inspiration every time I watch you videos. Please tell me what size pot your large Trovita orange is in. I have several fruit-trees that i want to keep in containers and that size seems just about right for them.
It is a #7 or 7 gallon nursery pot .. doesn't actually hold 7 gallons, they hold about the same amount of soil as a 5 gallon bucket.
@@tdhomestead Thanks for your reply
Boanoite meu amigo ok 😊
Isn’t fantastic the one that survives down to 15 degrees? I would like to try one here in Ga.
Yes, Fantastic and Brazos Belle are both supposed to have survived unprotected down to 15 degrees with little to no damage and down to 10 degrees with some significant damage but survived.
cold hardiness is lower in drier climates like Texas or California humidity in the east will raise the temperature somewhat i heard this from Garys best in california
hoping to be able to keep them alive with just a minimal amount of protection in the winter. I haven't planted them in ground yet, been waiting for the grafts to heal over better to give them their best chance to survive.
My lemon tree is in the ground but know flowers are fruits what I need to do different with my tree
I think fertilizing may help. How old is the tree and how long have you had it planted? May just need some more time to get established. Growing fruit trees can definitely be a game of patience :)
Do you do any hand pollination? The reason I ask is I had no bee's this year. My citrus trees were full of flowers and started to have fruit. Then everything dropped off. I'm thinking it had to do with no bee's.
I haven't done any hand pollinating. We have had plenty of bees, mostly carpenter bees. Usually 90% or more of the fruit will drop from my citrus trees and the first time some of them bloomed all of the fruit dropped. Getting on a regular fertilizing schedule seems to help.
So what are you doing with the cuttings once you get em in the cup?
just keep them watered so the soil doesn't dry out, i will usually put them on a dish or another cup and try to keep them sitting in about a quarter inch of water until they show signs of new growth .. this time of year you will also need to make sure they don't get too much intense direct sunlight. You can build a terrarium/ humidity dome with a clear plastic bag and you won't have to be quite as diligent about checking the moisture but I haven't found it to be necessary;
very nice! Jealous of the owari satsuma you got, I can't find those! lol I will have to do a new video soon as well, all mine are getting another wave of growth. My moro blood orange has flowers starting too!
I was fortunate to find my owari satsuma at a local nursery but you should be able to find one online.
