Eddy is a long-time friend of mine who loves to garden, even when he has very little space. In this yard he has yams, soursop, tamarind, avocado, bees, cherries and more. Today he shares how he got his soursop to fruit fast, plus warns me repeatedly not to fall into the pool.

How do I hand pollinate my soursop flowers? It’s a four year old tree from Seedling and this is the first year that it flowered.
I love it when a neighbors fruit tree crowds over the fence, providing free fruit.
Eddy sounds like a nice person...I like him especially the way he talks
Yeah, he is a great talker. Could have his own TV show.
I need the nailing the tree technique. I would have a hard time with the soursop tree tea because to my nose it gives off the scent of cat pee. I love the long neck avocados they are delicious, trying to sprout a seed right now. Love the flow of your conversation and it makes me even happier for you and Rachel that you are back around family and old friends again just watching this older video. Whamo! in the eye, a reason why I will never have bees. My face would have blown up like those jumbo exercise balls. Jealous of his plants and especially Barbados cherry. I want some vick’s plant.
I love ur friend he seems so humble!! 🤙🏽
Dude seems like a genuinely great guy.
The spickly pod tree is called Annoto we have alot in Jamaica What is annatto?
Annatto is an orange-red food coloring or condiment made from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana), which grows in tropical regions in South and Central America (1Trusted Source).
It has several other names, including achiote, achiotillo, bija, urucum, and atsuete.
It’s most commonly used as a natural food coloring, as it imparts a bright color that ranges from yellow to deep orange-red, similar to saffron and turmeric.
Its color comes from compounds called carotenoids, which are pigments that are found in the seed’s outer layer and many other fruits and vegetables, such as carrots and tomatoes.
Additionally, annatto is used as a condiment to enhance the flavor of dishes due to its slightly sweet and peppery taste. Its aroma is best described as nutty, peppery, and
Though it may not be well known, an estimated 70% of natural food colors are derived from it (1Trusted Source).
Such an inspiration to me I just bought a house with a very small yard. Got to pull out a couple of old mango/avocado trees that don’t taste very well
Nice viewing my friend enjoy watching here new friend from Hail K.S.A OFW 😀 🙌 😊
I was taught at an early age “ hit the truck hard with a shovel”
✌️❤️😁
What a kind and gentle man, do you realize how lucky you are growing up with such people around you!
Yeah. I've had some great people in my life. Of course, I didn't interview the drug addicts across the street or anyone at the state-funded "half-way house" filled with thugs on the other side. Heh.
David The Good hehheh
Kind and gentle!? He threatened to kill his tree if it did not produce!
LMAO :D J/K I agree
Wonderful!!! Blessings flow
Wow if I could skate that empty pool and eat fresh fruit I would be in paradise
Nice garden🐝. Yep, I bet the bees have something to do with it. I have set a swarm trapto hopefully keep some. No luck thus far. Doesn’t mean that I won’t stop trying. I am in PA now. Honey Bees not very common at all anymore here.
Good luck. They're struggling all over the US.
My trees seem to respond to the threat of death as well. So many times my husband and I walk our property saying we are going to remove a failing tree, and the next thing we know its throwing out new leaves and flowering! Crazy!
Huh that is really cool
The fruit that colours is called roucou in Trinidad and Tobago
Are you in Florida? Where about I am looking for to plant like marcot
Good people! 💚
what a sweet spoken man. what is he doing with wrapping the trees to make another as gifts??
hahaha..." if you dont produce (off with your head!) "
air rooting, it makes the branch start to put out roots, so you can take a cutting and get it rooted more quickly.
Eddy is a tough dude. He used to raise some really mean Rottweilers.
How did I miss this video? TH-cam sucks with the notifications!
I love you guys! Your property looks just like mine's except the bees.
With an inch gap in the bark, how thin can the wrap of peat moss be be and still get a good root? I have been wrapping about a couple inches in radius, 4 inch ball or so. Eddies looked much thinner.
I would like to see how did the gentleman nail the nails in it how did he do that and in what part of the treat he did that?
David, u should get those avocado.
My friend take the leaves and makes tea 🍵
All the trees are bearing fruits. That's what trees are for
Sour sop is similar taste to sugar apple, creamy, sour sweet pulps.
He seems like a cool guy wow I wonder if his pool has been destroyed by the roots of the trees
No, he's had those trees there for years. Must not be an issue.
That's called annatto tree, yes it is food coloring used in Asia ...🙂
That's it!
Can I visit you there to get some markot of soursop and tamarind? Where are you located ty I wish you will reply to me stay safe God Blesd
Cannot help you. He has moved.
David The Good ty
Where the nails rusted?
Achuete/ annato
Annatto seeds
That's Florida accent
tamarinds fall to the ground easily so you don't have to climb to get them
blackbway When I lived in Miami if you let them fall they would be too dry bu then.
TRUNK
Not truck of coarse
Darn autocorrect
That's funny.
is he puerto rican and doesn't know what achiote/annatto is? blasphemy
elines acevedo 😂 He's un hombre borikén and DON'T COOK... or *he ain tellin errybody erryTHANG!*
elines acevedo :) Hehe. Your blasphemy comment made me laugh. Good one!
My soursop fruit but then turns brown and fall of havents gotten one soursop yet.What can I do.
.
I'm not sure. I'm not a soursop expert.
If only one guy every city block did this, it would change the world.Great video.
I threatened my soursop and avocado with doom (cutting them down) and they produced the following year....
they can sense their impending fate.... I also think heavy pruning triggers re production.
The red berry used for coloring is called bija (Bixa Orellana) or Annato/Achiote in the Dom Rep. I believe it has no nutritional value other than the coloring used in latin cuisine.
My soursop is full of blooms right now. Traditionally it gives me fruit in the fall but it gave me six fruits in the spring for the first time this year.
Great video!!
At what point do you prune soursop tree? I have a soursop tree about years old but it seems to be growing very slow.
"Long Neck" are Russell Avocados they are amazing. Nice job Eddy and good video David! Thumbs up!
Thank you for the ID - that is very cool.
Eddie(y) is such a beautiful soul! He's proud, as he should be, of his garden and quick to share helpful info! Bendicion papa! Thanks David for sharing such a beautiful video! Blessings!
Ha! I like Eddy seems like a guy I'd want to have a beer with
Achiote is the pokey fruit plant, good for Spanish rice
Hey David The Good... Any chance you get details from Eddie on how to do the nail trick? And pleaseee, I would love to know how to get roots from the tree, so it doesn't take "forever" to give it's amazing curative and delicious fruit 😋 I'm also from beautiful PR 😍😀 , living in Titusville, FL for almost thirty years...love my Sunshine State 😍 My blessings for both of you 🙏🌈💕👋
Oh my...the Tamarinds!!! My mouth is watering, I'm drooling all over my shirt 😛😂
That "food color plant" is called achote. We use it to color our rice orange
Hi, I wish I had an Avocado tree like that :) here in Melbourne, Australia they cost $2.50 each
That second tree is an Annato (Bixa Orellana), the seeds inside the spiky pods have a very high beta-carotene content.
Annato tree..or lipstick tree...the seeds are used to make yellow rice..
I told my tomato plant to produce or I was gonna throw it out in the woods..I stopped watering it for 2 weeks..than I gave it water. All of the sudden it was a tomato feast!!! Lol!
It is called Annatto tree has a strong red color
And in PR they call it achiote.
That comment ... something wrong with your head is a bit rude .... don't you think?
Sour sop leaf tea is no bitter bruh....
Okay details on the nails. What kind and where on tree? I have 5 year old tree and no fruit.
Just pound a few iron nails in the trunks .
Thank you, It kind of sounds like he did a criss cross of them close together. That really sounds harmful. . puzzled together or inches apart??????
I know a guy who threatened a mango tree. He nailed 1 regular nail in it. Now it produces tons.
orlandogreengirl
It is common to put roofing nails in lemon trees. 2 nails will provide a tree with all the zinc it needs for a lifetime.
It is the zinc and iron in the nail that helps 😃
It's annatto seeds...used to color food etc
Achiote! Boricuas use that for all our cooking!
I'm up here in Canada and I have a soursop tree in a 7 gallon pot in my room and it's 20 years old, it's about 6 feet tall, the trunk is about 4to 5 inches thick, it gives a lot of aromatic flowers but so far no fruit..I do use the leaves for tea...
Food colouring is called Achuete
I love to see David, David the GoodOut visiting his friends, all over the hood. Couldn"t resist saying that; your song does wonderfully strange things to me. Your friend Eddy uses the same trick for his trees that my grandmother taught me. It is wonderful to see hear you so happy. Tell Rachel hello.
In Trinidad and Tobago, we call the spiky fruit Rucco.
Great video! I'm definitely trying that nail trick. Eddie was cool. He needs his own show! Lol ;)
Hey buddy ' can you explain the nail in the tree thing with a little more detail please, thanks
Even your old videos are great. What a like able gentleman.
What great guy. We are going to try that yam in a pot trick.
It works very well. I've seen others do it.
Hi Eddies thank for showing your garden of fruit trees. I been looking to grow long neck avocado but I have no luck. Is it possible that you could send to me the seeds of long neck avocado??? I am will to pay for it.
What is the vicks plant called and do you have any idea where one can get one? Sweet video, nice neighbor!
That is really good for stew you need to soak in warm water the mature seeds the open or you know is dry all ready
Its called rookoo
U should add sugar in the tea
I looked it up. Dont eat it.
I know a guy who had a mango tree not producing. So he threatened it and placed a nail in the trunk. Now that sucker produces tons of mangoes. Apparently it works.
Hey David, you do not need have nails on your guanabana tree to produce fruits...in fact, in 2-3 years old the plant starts producing ok, only depending of, the variety, sun light and heat...good job for you and Eddy...oh, and about Bixa Orellana, a native Amazonian tree here in Brazil, named Urucum, a native indian word, people regularly use it in different ways...like a condiment, to put color on foods, to renew skin, like a sun blocker lotion and, mainly, to protect skin against insects like mosquitos ok...I have one in my backyard also
What was funny was you said it was good for making tea and drinking and I was having a hot cup of sour sop leaf tea at that same time. Ps. No sugar.
That tree for food coloring we call, "asuete or achuete." It is exactly for food coloring.
What a nice guy this Eddie! David - do you know any of the guys out here that practice Korean Natural Farming? Drake or Chris Trump?
Is it annatto?
Hope the bees are registered with the State. The state will fight for you if you have problems with the neighbors they will also test the bees to see if they're Africanized.
awesome
Achiote! The only way to make yellow rice and beans! Never use the sazon packets. full with MSG!
Ukoo
0:50 Annatto?
Yep
I was searching for soursop and i see all these wonderful trees growing, amazing. I really enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing
I don't if somebody told you, we call it achote the coloring food tree.
👍👍💜🙏
I have 3 fig trees, but the 1st one I had for 10 years and no fruit. I was walking one day with my dog and I kicked that tree as hard as I could and told it if it didn't give me some figs, it was coming down. 2 weeks later, I had 5-6 delicious figs. Strangest thing ever. I hope it does better next year. I planted two more and then I got 3 blueberry bushes that I plan to overwinter in pots because the stalks are too thin to put in the ground, but I'm interested in the nail tricks. I have had 2 knee replacements and I'm not too keen on kicking more trees.
So rude.
dechinta Howdy, Dechinta! I'm a woman, just getting used to my 40s, my knees are unreliable, I've got a number of (as yet) non-fruiting guanábana trees here in NJ in pots and I think I have been OVERLY kind to my trees and plants... which reflects my pre-41/42 social life with Homo sapiens, by the way, 😉.
(Five Year Old Soursop, Iggi de Obatalá, IT'S *ON,* BABÁ! You bout to meet up with ferro o cobre o AMBOS!)
Eddie is one cool dude. Thanks for the tour of his back yard. Best wishes Bob.
Muchissímas gracias, Eddy, y thank you, DavidtheGood, for sharing your interview with your neighbor-friend and his home.
#GOALS!
annato
Wonderful garden. I just planted a pink guava and a white guava. Looking forward to the fruit in the forth year and if it isn't producing I now know what to do. :)
They should fruit fast - guavas are troopers.
it's achuete tree or anato seeds
How long a nail and does the nail have to be galvanised??
I forgot the name too I got seeds in my kitchen tho
That called anato
nice soursop i'll try the nail trick cheers mate .
Let us know if it works.
Does eddy sell his soursop? If so how can I contact with him? The fruit has help so much with my wife’s health problems.
No, he has moved home to PR.
David The Good do you know anyone who sells them consistently in the Broward area?
I do not, but I have heard leaves are being imported. Hope you can find some.
David The Good we have tried that, and doesn’t have that much affect. I recommend those searching for them for medicinal use to try the fruit and watch how fast acting they are.
Anyways, thanks for your replies. Take care!
Can you go into more detail about this nail method of getting trees to fruit? I've heard of whipping a tree to make it fruit and doing a kind of incomplete girdling but not of using nails. Also, Eddy said that he threatened the avocado tree -- does that mean he also used the nail method or some other method on the avocado?
I'm not sure how it works. He told me he nailed two nails into it so they crossed inside the tree. I have also heard of people whipping an unproductive tree with a chain to scar it and break branches and "shock" the tree into producing. I've never tried anything like that, though. Seems a bit mean.
sirjimmy71
If you use roofing nails, it provides the tree with zinc and iron. 2 nails should be enough per tree and hammered into the trunk. 😃 it common to do this to lemon trees that are starting to show yellow in their leaves
Lovely garden
Wow I hope to grow like him once I get to Texas
Man. If you punch the bottom out of that pool and fill it with soil it'd be a great garden. Aloha
I'd love to plant it with lily pads and kangkong.
David The Good that would work too.
David The Good you should plant lotus too.I bet you havent had lotus roots cooked with pork.yummy
Haha great guy. He has all the tricks. Thanks for sharing
