    I think you are successful in growing tropical trees, because you grow your trees very closed from each other. Then, all the trees have created the heat to overcome the cold weather.

      Protecting your Tropical Fruit Trees Against the Wind
      th-cam.com/video/_G7wREXI3I4/w-d-xo.html
      Essentially, you’ll want to create a wind barrier, such as the use of tall, strong clumping variety bamboo and plant your various tropical fruit trees behind them.
      You’ll also want to be considerate of the types of tropical fruit trees to plant, for example, starfruit trees are not fans of the wind where as loquat, mango, longan and other trees tolerate the wind.

      The Pearl guava is perhaps the sweetest, then again, the Tropical White and Thai guavas are also sweet and are massive in size.

      Heavy mulch will help, though, it does have its limits. With temperatures below 20°, I’m not sure if the mulch will make much of a difference.
      The addition of mulch, primarily wood chips, it helps to insulate the roots of the trees from the cold and heat. Additionally, micro-organisms break down mulch and provides nutrients to the trees.
      Lastly, mulch serves as the home for the micro-organisms and insects which all benefits the surrounding trees and plants.

    How do I get my clay soil better for tropical trees

    • @TropicalCentralValley
      @TropicalCentralValley  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The idea is to amend the soil when planting a tropical fruit tree and over a period of years, as the tree’s roots grow outside of its original hole, it hopefully will adapt to our native soil.
      While this is happening, the best method would be to add lots and lots of mulch (wood chips, leaves, etc) around the tree or better, all over your yard. In addition to mulching, the addition of organic materials, in my case, banana leaves, etc helps to feed the worms and other organisms which in turn enriched the soil and lowers the soil pH.
      This whole process takes years and years.

      Thank you. It can be a maze navigating around my little jungle, hence the undesirable video motion. I’ve been playing with various gimbals, trying to strike a good balance.

    Can I grow any of these plants in zone 8-9?

      Many of them may. I know folks in northern Florida, near USDA Zone 8 have had some success with growing them.

      @@TropicalCentralValley thanks for your reply! Could you name some of the species/varieties that you know about growing further north?

    • @TropicalCentralValley
      @TropicalCentralValley  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Unfortunately, I do not have any personal experience with growing tropicals in USDA Zone 8. With this being the case, it would be irresponsible of me to recommend the varieties that may survive temperatures down to 15°-20°.
      The important thing is to ensure the roots of the trees are kept warm during the frost. Doing so gives the trees a fighting chance during the winter months.

    If you grow in Houston, TX, it will kill all your plants just a few days drop to -5. I have about 5 to 8 plants killed during the winter here in Houston.

    • @TropicalCentralValley
      @TropicalCentralValley  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It very likely will. The same way if my tropical fruit trees were to be planted in Chico, CA just 300 miles north of me.
      Although my zone experiences numerous days of subfreezing temperatures, we typically only get it about 4-6 times per winter.

      Unfortunately, the nearest tropical fruit tree nurseries are located in Los Angeles.
      If traveling to LA is not an option, I would recommend looking into online nursery. There are several out there and specific to tropical fruit trees, the majority of the online nurseries are based in Florida.

    • @TropicalCentralValley
      @TropicalCentralValley  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I have rambutan, mangosteen, durian, you name it. Concerning the papaya, just ensure your soil is well draining as their roots are very shallow.
      I made a video which toured my yard a few months ago.

      Possible, but not likely. Without much detail about the growing environment of your guava tree, it’s hard to identify the cause

  • @raywu7933
    @raywu7933 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Although you exhibited well the various plants on your property, the video is not v useful bc you left out inserting text of the plant's botanical name when you assume your listeners will grasp your enunciation of the names to get the spelling. without the botanical names, people cannot search for sellers of the various plants. Without proper names, it becomes guess work when buying n mistakes won't be known till 5+ years later.

    • @TropicalCentralValley
