@@jamesmartinez9140 I suppose that could happen but I doubt it. There are various fruits that peoples taste buds or olfactory senses interpret differently. For example I’ve heard people say guavas smell like armpits or BO. I don’t smell that at all but some interpret the smell that way. Sometimes my papayas get a small amount of some sort of fungus on the skin. Perhaps that is contributing to the smell. The fruit tastes good so I don’t care. I don’t eat the skin anyway!

@@jamesmartinez9140 I agree. Will do one once the weather wakes things up a bit. Wind has been brutal here this winter so we need to re-green things before I can present the garden to everyone.

@@jamesmartinez9140 good question? I can’t say in my experience that one is hardier than the other. The maxima fronts seem to dry out easier in low humidity and high winds but hasn’t seemed to negatively impact the overall hardiness of the tree. Not sure which one tolerates the lowest temperatures.

@@jamesmartinez9140 OC inland. On edge of coastal vs continental influence

@@SoCalTropicalgardener nice, so like Fullerton or something like that? Do you think this would grow further inland like I.E?

@@jamesmartinez9140 you almost got it. Yorba Linda. It’s hard to say if you had a micro climate and protected from frost you might keep it alive, however, I grow a lot of tropicals and these just barely make it through some of my winters. I’m surprise even on night where no frost is expected I see some small frost burns on some of the leaflets. I’m worried they are going to die one winter. One currently only has one frond spear just starting to open. Not sure if that means it’s destined to doom. The other one has three full fronds, one just starting to open and another spike beginning to emerge. I love the challenge of growing plants that are delicate but it sucks to worry they might not make it.

@@clydedonaldson7369 I agree, especially on the sound of the rotors is like music to me.

Hi, Thanks for coming to the channel.

@@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

@@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!

Thanks for watching and giving feedback.

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.

Thank you!

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!

The factory has the tint on the roof glass but not the regular windows. There is not way to add tint from the factory.

Thanks bro!

Thank you!

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.

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.

Yes, it is about that time. Plan to do one very soon. Thanks for the inquiry!

Thanks!

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. 🤙

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.

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

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.
