This channel exhibits video content related to growing and propagating plants that require conditions that are more difficult to maintain than one would merely find in the average continental US. These plants are predominantly planted in ground rather than container grown. While some of these plants can be grown in USDA zones well below 9, the majority will require extra husbandry and or zone 10 and above to survive multiple years outdoors through the winter.

Don’t freak out when you see your fruit falling off the tree. It happens at various stages as the tree determines what it is capable of supporting.

2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance
มุมมอง 4.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Took delivery of this beautiful car last Wednesday 5/29/24. Such a breeze of a process to order, finance and take delivery. This car is of extraordinary value at below $55K and less than $50K after federal tax credit. This car deserves the title “performance”not only due to the numbers if accomplishes but also because it makes an amazing daily driver.

Tasting White Sapote fruit (‘Vernon’).

We have had this tree 3 years. Limited fruit production so far. 1 fruit this year. Takes 9-10 months to ripen. In my opinion it’s like a cross of a banana and an Has avocado in both texture and flavor. Slight grainy at skin like a pear but avocado smooth with similar mild nutty mixed with banana sweetness.

Sorry the audio is loud due to rain. This is a brief summary of my banana trees. Size, water requirements, maintenance. Additional details, you can grow these outdoors at zones below 9 but you’ll have a hard time getting fruit to develop. As long as your soils doesn’t freeze they should come back from corms. If you have freezing soil you need to grow these in containers and protect them from fr...

Ice cream refers to its flavor, its been described as tasting like vanilla ice cream
@@randomaccount-rw3bm yes, I have heard that. I just think that is a big stretch. If I really use my imagination I suppose. I have used them to make bananas foster and it was amazingly
They are so tropical 🌴
That tree looks good! The manilia i picked up this year is filling in nicely. Next year I plan to move it to a large pot until I decide where I want it in the yard.
How exciting! Hopefully you get some mangos off that tree. Would you be willing to sell scions?
@@FeveredMind im not apposed to selling scions but the tree is too small still to remove any wood. Maybe in future.
@@SoCalTropicalgardener Awesome. I am sitting working on getting my manila rootstock established. Would be interested in a year or two. I look forward to seeing the video about the fruit!
Good luck!
Cool, not enough videos on these more unique varieties of Archontophoenix. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and giving feedback.
One of the best colors for the new M3P imo
How do you like it???
I love it! Hands down best car I have ever owned or driven. Like it so much I prefer to drive it myself rather than use the free self driving that works.
Beautiful palm trees.
Thank you!
Awesome, just grafted this variety on my Glenn! Heard it does well in socal
The first year I had two small mangos and for their size and first fruits they tasted delicious. As of yesterday there are about 10 mangos that are mauve and green and the size of a grape. I expect a few more to fall off on their own and then I’ll likely have to manually thin out at least half given the tree is still young. Hope to get a new video up in the next couple weeks. Thanks for the reply. Good luck on your graft!
@@SoCalTropicalgardener awesome that’s good to hear, hope you get some this year as well. Looking forward to your updates!
Is tint available from the factory or just film?
The factory has the tint on the roof glass but not the regular windows. There is not way to add tint from the factory.
That is stunning bro!
Thanks bro!
Looks so good
Thank you!
Nice to see Stealth Gray with the black interior
Thanks! I’m a bit surprised how popular the white interior is this year. I get it that it’s cooler in heat and looks nice but I imagine it’s harder to keep clean. To each his own.
Tint %? Looks great!
5% (Limo) on the back and rear passengers and 35% on the front driver/passenger. Thanks for the inquiry.
@@SoCalTropicalgardener thanks!! I have the exact same configuration coming end of June!
Bro your killin your grass 🤣
@@davejohnson6144 That’s what my wife is thinking I’m sure. But hey I’m both the installer and gardener so if that’s the case it’s my problem to fix! Man the car was not happy with me pulling up there. It was shouting to me left and right and literally was putting “stop” on the screen. I babied the car and the grass so all is well.
@@tylerconner3227 not sure about your question. I did black. While it’s my choice my whole family also wanted me to go black not white.
Amazing , gives me hope 🙏 😅 i hope they allll make it
Что за фрукт это???
Привет чувак незнаю кто тi но дякую за классние видиос ....
Да уж красавец !!!!
Update? 2024
Yes, it is about that time. Plan to do one very soon. Thanks for the inquiry!
I hope you get a mango or two!
Thanks!
Where did you get the tree and what rootstock is it on?
Unfortunately I don’t have the information on the rootstock. The tree came from www.louiesnursery.com/ I believe they order them from Florida wholesalers.
@@SoCalTropicalgardenerWow are you in Riverside? I live a couple miles from Louie’s. 🤣 I didn’t see Fruit punch on their list of stock on the website so I didn’t bother to ask. I’m betting it’s on Turpentine.
@@FeveredMind no, I’m in OC but I monitor when they get in new tropical fruit trees and that when I ran a trip out to buy this one a few years ago.
@@FeveredMindwhat’s funny about this whole convo is I’m from riverside but typing this while at work in Orange County small world
@@ozzy_fromhellSmall world indeed. I’m going to try and pick up my first Mango tree from Parkview this weekend. Done a ton of research. Manila rootstock for grafting Fruit Punch and Sweet Tart if I can find scions after the tree establishes in my yard. 🤙
Is the "ice cream" reference to the taste ke the texture of the banana? What are your favorite ways to use them after harvest
I believe it is the texture. While texture is nice it is a stretch to compare it to ice cream. Aside from eating out of hand we make banana chocolate chip bread, smoothies and I made bananas foster once which was amazing. 9/10 people I share these with prefer them over store bought.
why is it there before release? why are there so many cyberturcks on roads before release ? what does release mean? they release them on the road first and then release them again?
Good questions. I think it’s part of the building of excitement. I have suspicion they may have a buyer come to each Tesla Center today to pick one up. Ramping of these is slow. Most of the ones people see on the road are were “candidates.” Meaning not final production models. It’s not that there are many on the roads. The vehicle is so unique and anticipated that any sighting gets a lot of attention. Mostly likely there are only a few dozen at most that have been produced so far. Hopefully a lot details will be available with the official deliveries today.
its part of the publicity I guess, it's bit confusing how they use release term differently, I though they released the model 2 years ago and they have to mass produce @@SoCalTropicalgardener
What a beauty! 😮
how do you harvest if they get to 20 ft or does the fruit hang low?
Great question! Once a banana tree fruits it no longer grows and will die. The banana bunch does hang down and tends to pull the tree to one side. Sometimes it’s low enough to use a step stool to cut the bananas off. Sometimes I cut a few hands off at a time, more often I cut the whole bunch off. That said, most of the time I cut the whole bunch and then cut the tree down. Thanks for the question as I now know the next video I need to make.
Best of luck. My orange crush just gave me it's first male flower. Next couple years could be interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
As someone born & bred with bananas as part of my culture I would say pretty good review. The new coiled banana leaf is cut off at the base of the shoot & used as a plate South-South East Asia. A banana plant will die if the stem hits a core temperature of under 0°C. The moment a frost kicks in the leaves will automatically die as well. The green bananas can be curried, fried etc. They must be boiled first. Some people even cook the flower into a curry. The milk of the stems will stain your clothes with a brown colour. The variety you have is the tallest I've seen. Greetings from a wet Auckland where it always rains. 😂
Thanks! I could have gone in to much more details and particulars but was trying to keep the video short. Thanks for watching and replying!
My wife has cooked the flower and it was quite delicious. She has friend who from time to time take our flowers to eat. The staining from the bananas can also stain concrete for a time. Agree it is a brownish red color. Can look like an old blood stain.
Just subscribed,so keep posting! Thanks.
Thanks for subscribing to my channel. Will have some more updates soon.
Do seeds grow true to type ?
I don’t know because I have never grown them from seeds but these are not grafted so my guess is yes
Don't forget to save me a few seeds my friend. Thanks
I haven’t forgotten. I have to look into the regulations for shipping seeds but I’ll contact you sooner than later to set something up
Should hit it with vitamin b-1.
That’s a good idea. Thanks!
@@SoCalTropicalgardener Mango is another growers over pot. MAKE SURE its first filled with roots before planting.
@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx yes, after that Jackfruit fiasco I decided that’s a criteria going forward.
What variety?
Not exactly sure as it was in ground when I bought the property. It appears to be Has.
How many time do you water right now and throwing the summer thank you
@@robertcarlos5964 in my region we are having unusually cool weather with many days including today without sun. Normally in summer with 80-90 degree temps I will deep soak the ground every 10-21 days. If it’s 100+ I might water every week. In cool weather like I have now I’ll deep water once every 14-28 days. In winter if we have rain at all I won’t water. If no rain then I water maybe once a month. Hope that helps?
You can spray boron during the flowing period
@@davidgachigo what does that do to help?
Lovely once my flowers an never again i am fixing it up for this year a pollyck in the ground
i kinda did the same thing with a ice cream bean tree
That sucks! My jackfruit looked so healthy too. I don’t think I have ever had this happen before. Just wish I had kept it in container until late spring but would would have know the roots were in such fragile state?
I actually have new buds coming up just below and just above the graft on the trunk. I’ll be posting a video soon. So glad I didn’t pull the whole thing out of the ground.
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Love it, I love seeing zone pushing in SoCal! Bottle palms seem relatively hardy along the SoCal coast. You should try a coconut palm, I have videos of two beautiful large specimens in both Del Mar and Santa Ana on my TH-cam channel, they are growable in SoCal with care. Thanks for sharing, love the channel, just subscribed!
I did try one that was small and still attached to the coconut but it died. Thanks for your comment.
It’s interesting because to my knowledge there hasn’t been any frost forecasted here and I don’t think the temp went below 38 F. However, these palm seem more vulnerable than any other palms I have to cool air. They start getting small brown spots on leaflets that coalesce over time and the frond dies. So far the plants have survived a few winters but I am afraid I’ll have a winter into the 28 F one year and I’ll loose them. I will definitely plan ahead to cover them and maybe even use a space heater to keep them alive.
I think Santa Ana and Del Mar are zone 10b while I’m zone 10a . Not to say I couldn’t do it but it might be difficult if we had a cold winter. Especially if the tree got to a decent size. I have a flame thrower palm but it’s less than 4 feet tall so protecting it is reasonably easy.
@@SoCalTropicalgardener Yeah coconuts are definitely marginal there. Bottle palms are hardier though, so beautiful, thanks for sharing!
@@SoCalTropicalgardener There were also some coconuts in zone 9b out by the Salton Sea for many years but they died sadly as they were not watered.
Quick question 🤔 Do you have any seeds from your papayas? If so I'm very interested in some.
I’m not sure if I have any available at this time. I can get back to you when I have some.
@@SoCalTropicalgardener Thank you! I love how healthy you Papaya tree is.
@@nature9family225 thank you!

Great selection and variety of plants!
Thanks Greg Roller. You will really enjoy this plane and that set up. Take video if you can and let me know when you post it!
thanks man nice footage for a guy shooting the whole thing by himself. just ordered and cant wait had to go see others fly it just to take the edge off waiting. went with 4s 1300mah 4200kv so should need full throttle but if I get bored hey there it is
Looks like a fun little plane.
