That’s an everbearing June plum. It fruits two to 3 times each year. It’s also dwarfed. The fruit is small and the seeds are softer so your mouth doesn’t get torn up. Boil the Chaya leaves for twenty to thirty minutes before you consume (throw off that water and then prepare for consumption). You need to go see LadyD in Ft Pierce. She’s right behind the main campus of IRSC. Shake the tree and the bugs will fall off then dispose of them.
I live in east Orlando. I recently found red sugar cane at the asian market near me. I stuck it in the ground, and it has all kinds of shoots sprouting out now.
Hi Pat, I love your videos and watching all the progress your plants make in this beautiful weather. We moved to Palm Bay in July and since then started planting different fruit trees and veggies etc in our yard. I love seeing a fellow Palm Bayer making the best of their space as well by planting. Would love to visit your backyard in person some day.
Im just seeing your video 5 months after you made it. I enjoyed every minute of this video thank you for sharing I wanna move to Florida now because I love farming and I can’t do that in Philly. Pray for me y’all so I can move. Please make an updated video I would love to see what your garden / farm looks like now. ❤ Also plant more of the comfrey plant around the property especially near the trees that are struggling it will nurture them and allow them to grow healthy it’s an amazing plant. You can make tea from the leaf too. Comfrey roots and leaves contain allantoin, a substance that helps new skin cells grow, along with other substances that reduce inflammation and keep skin healthy. Comfrey ointments have been used to heal bruises as well as pulled muscles and ligaments, fractures, sprains, strains, and osteoarthritis.
Hi Mark. Glad you came over to my channel. I used the comfrey recently when I broke my Pinky. It really helped a lot. I've been told it's dangerous when ingested. Lots of articles in that. Thanks for the great tip about planting near struggling trees. One just popped up in my veggie bed. I'll transplant by my mango tree. Hope you make it to Florida. Check out my 1 year update I did end of December. Here it is th-cam.com/video/d8iX2L1qEsA/w-d-xo.html
Good morning, nice video. I was born in Melbourne and now I’m in Orlando I grow fruit trees and veggies in pots because I don’t have a yard I’m in a condo 1st floor. It’s good to see people back home is growing their food again 😀
Excellent! Happy to hear that you're using pots to grow food. That's awesome. Use everything that you have available to continue growing. Thanks for watching
Thanks so much! I've never heard of them but you're absolutely right. I just looked it up. I'll use the same soapy water trick I use for the leaf footed bugs
Leave the bugs, they act as nature's cuttings on certain plants, just as you cut back on your plants to have them grow more or blossom faster, that's what these bugs do, they won't harm your plants the are actually helping your plants.
@@backyardfarmerpat that's for all bugs that does not harm the productivity of the plant, if the insects keeps the plant from progressing then you want to stop those ones, but it the plant is pushing new growth and the more mature leaves are being eaten by the bugs that's perfectly fine. Nature is awesome and it may seems strange to some of us when bugs do certain things, but we use wisdom to make sense of it all.
@@Mute2024 good to know. I won't yank it yet then. It's big and healthy and I see lots of other people growing it and with fruit. I'll give it a chance. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm on the opposite coast, north of Tamps. First time watching your YT. Your plants look really healthy! I read all the comments because I too was curious about the white beetles but didn't see an ID yet. I would love your work even more if you mentioned which side you are showing (North, South, etc) .I love the way you get right into the plant to show the fruit. Just asking if the camera work could be slower. Did you put down a lot of mulch before planting? And/or is it sand there, or do you have some soil? Thanks!
Hi Charlotte. The white beetles are Sri Lanka weevils. This video is now over a year old. I didn't put any mulch down before planting. I'm in sugar sand. I did build up the soil before planting each tree. Check out the updated tour video I did last week. Thanks so much for stopping by. Please subscribe and stick around. I'm on the East Coast in palm Bay
Hi Pat I love your videos you really have inspired me to do the same in my little backyard. Please can you tell me where I can find the African white Yam seeds? I didn’t even know they can be grown from seeds.
Hi dawn, thank you so much. You can probably get them online. I got mine from a friend 2 years ago whose vines were producing the seeds. I still haven't harvested my seeds and it's been months. Not sure mine are any good. I just reopened 2 white yam heads that I got directly from Ghana
Hello Backyard Farmer Pat, Marcia Lopez Jamaican in Augusta Georgia. I have been viewing your channel a a while now and it is amazing. I seeking some Cassava cuttings for planting do you mind send us some cutting. Loving all you are showing keep up the good work. ❤
Your garden is beautiful. Looks so big. How much space are you growing on an acre? This is so much growing - I am from the island so it was amazing to watch. Also I am looking for yams do you sell those?
Hi there, thanks so much. I'm in less than 1/2 acre but I plant a ton. I'll have yam seeds shortly in my Etsy store. I haven't been able to climb up to harvest them yet
Wow everything looks amazing! I’m in sFL zone 10b. Growing a lot of the same fruit trees. What happened to the air layer cutting you got from your friend/sister’s June plum tree?
Hi there, I do have some malanga plants I could sell a few. However, you can buy malanga, cut into pieces or just use the skin to grow some. Did you check out my video on that?
I have several of Blue Java Ice Cream banana plants! They look identical to yours. Of course I could be wrong but I’m willing to bet I’m not. You’ll know for sure when baby puts off fruit 💗
They grow so fast! It’s amazing and beautiful! I’m in zone5 son I must cut mine back and protect her each year. Can’t wait to see the progress on yours!
Palm Bay is now considered to be zone 10a according to the US Department of Agriculture. I'm in Orlando. We are also zone 10a, and I am growing lots of tropical fruit trees. Thanks climate change!
Yes they determined that after this video was done. I didn't hear that Orlando was 10a at all. Even here in palm Bay they're saying some parts are still 9b
I plant a banana two years ago I bought it from Walmart it is short I look under it and I saw 3 small one what should I do with them should I leave them are move them. It is under a big 🌳tree
Wait till they get to about 1 foot tall then dig deep and transfer to ground or large pot of you live in cold area. Check out my video on transplanting bananas
47 mins of nothing but beautifulness! 😆 Thanks for the tour. Awesome job!
Thanks so much❤️❤️

Hello! Everything is looking so wonderful and lush. I am pretty sure that bug is the sri lankan weevil.
Thanks so much! I've never heard of them but you're absolutely right. I just looked it up. I'll use the same soapy water trick I use for the leaf footed bugs
Thank you for this comment. I’ve seen these in my garden too.
WOW! Incredible, just beautiful! I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm in Zone 9b too. I can't wait to catch up on your other videos. ❤
Wonderful! Thanks for coming over and watching
That is a beautiful and bountiful space! You really did your thing with the trees. When all of that grows in, you will have boxes for your neighbors.
Thank you so much Missy Grando❤️

Interesting. Are you referring to these specific bugs or all bugs?
@@backyardfarmerpat that's for all bugs that does not harm the productivity of the plant, if the insects keeps the plant from progressing then you want to stop those ones, but it the plant is pushing new growth and the more mature leaves are being eaten by the bugs that's perfectly fine.

@@RDixon-jh7rn ok. Thanks for clarifying
You must be smoking bugs, my brassicas got eaten to the ground over night by bugs, and nope they didn't grow back 😂
Amazing in deed. Everything looking beautiful. Hard work shows.
wow, gungo looking so good
Good Job Farmer Pat! We live in Palm Bay also and your Food Forest looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

Guava tree looking great I have one now I know what it is call 😀 I got one off mine few weeks ago. The white bug coming on my sorrel.
Those bugs are dangerous
Amazing !!!
I can only grow eggplants during the fall, winter and early spring.
Mine is big but no fruit yet
@@backyardfarmerpat that’s what I get too. Lots of leaves…flowers even. No fruit…the temp is too hot for the blossoms to stay on.
@@Mute2024 good to know. I won't yank it yet then. It's big and healthy and I see lots of other people growing it and with fruit. I'll give it a chance. Thanks for letting me know.
I have red sugar cane! We can swap if you like? I don’t have green. I can send you a pic of what I have if you’re interested. ♥️
That would be awesome. Yes!
@@backyardfarmerpat awesome! I’ll email you a picture.

Lemon grass also keeps the snakes away from your garden 🤣
That's so funny. Three snakes ALWAYS hide behind it in my garden. Even 2 weeks ago

Wow everything looks amazing! I’m in sFL zone 10b. Growing a lot of the same fruit trees. What happened to the air layer cutting you got from your friend/sister’s June plum tree?
I cut it too early then I neglected it since I was in process in moving. It eventually fried up
I curry green papaya with potatoes.
Sounds delicious! I'll def try that when I have more. Several are just starting to fruit
Hi there so beautiful do you sale malanga plants I live in cocoa let me know if you do thanks...
Hi there, I do have some malanga plants I could sell a few. However, you can buy malanga, cut into pieces or just use the skin to grow some. Did you check out my video on that?
That’s an ice cream banana.
Woohoo! Awesome! I can't wait to taste it. I've never had one. How can you tell?
I have several of Blue Java Ice Cream banana plants! They look identical to yours. Of course I could be wrong but I’m willing to bet I’m not. You’ll know for sure when baby puts off fruit 💗
I can’t tell you if they taste like ice cream. I’ll be sure to get my first fruit sets this season! 🍌
@@ParqForrest I hope I get the first one too. The big one died back but still may come back but the suckers are almost 5 feet tall now
They grow so fast! It’s amazing and beautiful! I’m in zone5 son I must cut mine back and protect her each year. Can’t wait to see the progress on yours!

Don't you have problems with Squirrels and iguanas
No iguanas but I do have squirrels. The dogs keep them away but they do get into the fruit. I use cayenne pepper and mesh bags
It's not safe to grow those plants in Florida because of too many animals like Snakes, you got to be careful.
Which one of the plants?
