The fact that there’s other people my age, in my area that garden and care about the environment too makes me so happy! I thought I was a loner.
Thank you so much for your video. It was so helpful. It was nice being able to follow somebody in Houston.
i would love to see you plant medicinal and culinary herbs as well
That’ll probably be after I get some more bushes in but trust me I gotchuu
So encouraging to see a young person fired up about gardening! Big tip for your trees: the biggest reason (besides lack of irrigation) that trees fail to thrive is being planted too deeply. Search 'root flare' on TH-cam for many good visuals. Keep up the good work! And when you Google for gardening facts, add TAMU to the search string to get results from Texas A&M. stay cool and water those trees!
These videos are really awesome.
Thank you so much!
@@paulplantu Your welcome!
Paul Paul out her planting Paw Paw's.
I know that this video is old now, but can you talk more about that banana pups? We planted a banana this year and it’s growing fast and I’d love to be able to get 4 plants out of it by next year!
hey paul, love the vids and all that! just a recommendation, shear the edges off of the soil when you pull the plant out of the pot, helps get rid of any root issues/root binding and allows them to grow a little better. also, digging wider holes, 3 or so times as wide as the rootball, will help give your trees/plants a better start. thanks for making these vids man 🫶
Thanks for the advice the only reason my tree holes tend to be smaller is because my yard is riddled with tree roots from the established pine trees and oak trees. Even on the side bed there were huge Chinese privet trees with roots still everywhere. Haha, I’m gonna try for ya tho coach!
Awesome to see the peaches ready to eat!!
I knowwwww, I was worried they weren't ripe but they were perfect!
🌳
I can see you put a lot of work and love into growing!I hope gardening brings you as much joy as it brings me. b
It’s the start of my 3 year gardening but there is still so much for me to learn and I appreciate you sharing your food forest. It’s inspirational to me. I’d love the idea of a growing that way. I look forward to hopefully learning more from each other as we grow!
So many beautiful fruit trees! I have a lemon, a lime, a tangerine, a peach and a cherry tree in my garden. I think I'll try to grow some berries and maybe a banana tree. I'll have to do some research first for the banana. I know I'm in zone 9a in Greece, but we'll see! Anyway great and informative video as always Paul! Much love to you and the doggos!!!
Thank you so much as always!! I’m glad you have a ton of fruit trees growing out there in Greece!! Are they producing good for you?
@@paulplantu yeah they do produce, especially the lemon and the tangerine. The other ones are trying, but they're still young trees so hopefully when they're more mature they'll produce more!
Can’t wait to see how they develop!
that garden/yard is coming together pretty nice!
This is awesome! Such a different approach to a gardening channel!
This dude sounds Houston af
The consistency of posting these plantu videos 👌
Perfect!
My favorite type of fruits, especially delicious ripe avocados.
the plantu videos hit different. i might start a garden at my summer home.
Love the new plants! Wiii
Thanks for another great video! Love your shirt!
Love Love Love your videos.
New subscriber here 👍🏻 awesome yard and love the videos!
A lot of great trees! I have mulberry and bananas! I enjoyed your video!
Wow, peaches already? Kudos to you, Paul...and what a joy to watch you eat one! I'm certain your channel will keep growing and I look forward to following along!
Hey Paul , awesome 👍 and awesome ! Gardening is a good therapy for happiness and full of positive spirits , when a new leaf or bud for a fruit comes out our heart cheer up , we experience it every day
Ana and dorset apples grow in Houston easily , they need 200 to 300 chill hours only and Houston get it easily , persimmon , some good variety of jujubes, peeches , nectarines also grows very well in Houston and produce fruits also , last year we planted ana and dorset apples at my daughter's house , now there are about 30 apples on dorset and about 5 apples on Anna , there are fruit buds in persimmon and jujube too , they were not caring at all , not even taking out the weeds also , but seeing the apples they are excited already and working on garden nowadays , banana tree may not be a good selection because eventually you might need to rent out a big machine to remove from your house , we experienced that too , we got all the plants from JRN nursery Houston , all grafted
Road to 10k let’s gooo! almost there
You'll be eating good 🌳 love all the tree choices and your TShirt too👍check out them peaches 🍑
I'm new man. Just found you and loved your vid. I two am in HTown. Look forward to seeing more and progress of plants. Peace ✌
Only birds. They love the mulberry. I have one in my yard I never get any ripe berries. You should you sprinkle mycorrhiza on the roots when you put it in the ground.
paw paw trees will need some shade during the middle of the day!
🔥🔥
I love your videos!
Appreciate ya!!!
We have a massive mulberry tree in our back yard. The birds and squirrels go madd over it! We live right outside of htown so yours should pop off quite nicely!
Just separated and planted my dwarf cavendish as well man! They will like that shady over story! Good forest looks great! I’m working on mine I post videos as well, I’m growing densely planted agroforestry style rows.
Never plant trees by the house, foundation problems will happen
You should try a mango in a pot
Looking lush out there! How's the pond?
Hey Paul! Ever thought of getting a bonsai or making one? Would love to see that ! Love your vids!
LOVE your channel!!! Go to JRN! Good place, great prices! Get a black sapote!
I'm in zone 7A Tennessee I grow dwarf cavendish in ground and Carolina king and musa basjoo banana all in ground l have white and pink guava too both in container
Yeah I definitely need to buy some other types of bananas online! I'll try what you have especially since they do well in Tennessee!!
What part of Houston i live in to so i could drive by and check out your stuff
Great video! Did you do anything to protect the fruit trees from the freeze this year? Did any of them die?
we need an update!
Grow hardy kiwi. Apricot and Jujubee
Lemon/ lime tree!!
im in houston too .. how paw paw trees are doing?
Love your channel. Where did you find the pawpaw here in Houston??
I'd also like to know that. I've been wanting a couple of them.
Yoooooo
Paul, what do you think about Sasquatch? Just curious.
Where do you buy your fruit trees?
Long shot, but what about some Nopales, prickly pears
I planted some ones without needles and they haven’t shown any new growth. I may put some in but I really have to dedicate a spot where I know I won’t traverse on the garden
Dude, GUAVA ….. be ready for a TON of fruit! Our trees were dropping so many every day it was impossible to keep up! I’m just saying, they are incredibly prolific fruit trees once matured. Our were huge (15-over 20 ft talk when we moved away) and because we had about 7 we had barrels of guavas all over lol!
How did you prevent birds, pest, ec from eating it?
How about a cherry tree and or maybe kiwi vines .
Have you been to JRN nursery in Houston?
I thought Houston, Texas in only 9A. Is there a part of Houston where it’s zone 9B?
A couple of other people in comments have asked where you got pawpaw trees in Houston but I don't see a response. I'd like to know as well. I've been wanting to get some.
Buchanan’s native plant nursery!
Yo Paul you may want to straighten out that pear tree. You don't want it growing sideways
Oh my god your in Houston with a paw paw! I’m in San Antonio Texas I got two small paw paw trees about 18in high still in the pot I got them about two months ago and while I hear they love the sun when they are older they need to be protected from the sun when their young but our scorching sun kills many trees like it did to all my elderberries I was so hesitant to plant them now or just wait till March so I give them more warm weather to establish some roots before exposing them to our unpredictable cold weather but now im worried that the roots will get root bound and their roots are very delicate. Do you think I should plant it now or wait? My back yard faces NE without any protection from cold or wind and also planting closer to the house maybe not wise since it’s flies that pollinate it…… sorry so many questions but I’ve been very conflicted with what to do with A very wanted tree in my part thought I knew where I was going to plant them but once I got them and saw how small they were I got worried about losing them to our heat and sun.
If you’re worried just wait but def plant them in shade. I put one in the wide open and it’s doing worse than the other which I put in part shade where it gets some morning sun. It may be better to plant in February before it leaves out I wouldn’t worry about it being too root bound from being in pot for a season
Do you have drip irrigation?
No ma'am!
I looooove how you don't add a million amendments to your soil. Dig a hole and plant!!!
DON'T GED SO EXCITED ABOUT THOSE AVOCADOS!😰😰 I HAD 2 (HERE IN HOUSTON) THEY WERE BIGGER THAN YOURS AND DID NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRST FROST ON 2023 THAT WE WERE ON THE 18°
Dora, were they protected from the wind or out in the open? I want to plant one but need to know if I should or not. Thanks
@@andreamara8542 THEY WERE OUT SIDE, BUT KIND OF PROTECTED BY A HUGE OAK AND A BIG GUABA THEY WERE I. THE MIDDLE OF THEM. THEY WERE 2 THAT I MADE FROM SEEDS AND ONE THAT I BOUGHT AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE 20'S°F BUT UNLUCKY TEXAS WENT/GO UNDER THE 20'S° SAME THING WITH CITRICS. GOOD LUCK.
Can you grow cherry trees in zone 9?
Yes, certain varieties. I planted one before the crazy Texas freeze happened and the cherries were sour as hell.
I THINK YOU PLANTED THE POMELO AND OTHER CITRUS TOOO CLOSE TO THE HOUSE😳😫😰😯 THEY NEED AT LEAST 10 F AWAY FROM ANY STRUCTURE.
Yooo them paw paw trees, take me out. Never be drunk/hung over and step on a paw paw fruit. Chunks bro. Awesome tree tho.
Hahahahaha, you stay trippin on em?!
first
You seem to know a lot. So I am surprised that you are planting those trees so close to the house. How far do they spread? I'd guess you should move them out at leas a couple of feet to allow it to spread. Otherwise, you will lbe pruning it all the time.
you should have airlayered the grapefruit instead of cutting it off. then you would have had two plants.
I didn’t even think about that! FML
to much grass???
I liked it all the way up to the outro. With all the recent mass shootings, it just seemed very inappropriate, kinda disrespectful and uncomfortable to see.
pLEASE STOP THE SHOOTING OF A GUN AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS.
Why are you the law?
