Thanks
Thank you for being so caring about sharing the knowledge. Great content, editing, guests, and more than I can name.
The most northern established Coconut is in Newport Beach California. 33 degrees North of the equator. It doesn't fruit. Day length is too short. Trying and testing the zone limits of plants and going against "Common knowledge" is something to be admired. It will be Awesome if he is successful!
Derrick is the boss. Tropical fruit is the best fruits to enjoy. So jealous of his garden.
Nothing better than home-grown 😊organic Gardener 😋
Nothing says loving, Appreciate that rasta vibe, feeling it here 😢
That looks delicious
Great eco-video John!, these really inspire people to grow your own green life!
Amazing piece John. Salute
I'm growing a seedling in Ocala Fl.
Zone 9a...
She's around 5 foot 3 years old!
She defoliates every year!
You and Audrey pushing the zone in Fl
John thanks for sharing such awesome content about Derrick unique topical garden . I'll be joining his TH-cam channel because we're like minded. Jah Bless!
Loving his yard
I've had a seedling tree growing for a couple years now here in Las Vegas 🙂 - I need to get another one so I get fruit. These are sometimes self-pollinating but it's more common that they need cross-pollination. Derrick was kind enough to offer pollen next season, I'll have to take him up on that!!
Thank you John for sharing Derrick's great work. You are the best. I also love that you put your money where your mouth is and your honesty of telling it like it is .
A beautiful divine masculine being. Unselfish, unconditional loving of humanity. Thank you for caring.
Loving the pond idea
Derrick is good people.
I let my kitchen scraps start to decompose as well
And then feed to plants
I have two pawpaw
Cannot wait for mine to fruit
Chilean wine Palm tastes like Small coconut and might be worth trying
I love the yellow dragon fruit
Great topic. It’s so true every year is a different ball game. Between drought, and pest management for the past few years has been tough. But I do like the garden for the love of it. A coconut tree would be love to have in the backyard.
Love it
I'm living in Bacalar, MX. (on border of Belize). This is amazing!
Good man
That's how i plant up my backyard in UK
I love the pond idea. You can also put some misters up high connected to your irrigation.
Belize 🇧🇿❤❤
I tried 2 coconut here in California and they died. $80. 2 purple grafted mangosteen from Indonesia and they died $170 and they died. His garden looks like mine in terms of plant list but in terms of aesthetics, I give him the cup.
Hey John whenever you're in the los angeles area. Bring your camera and this same hat. Lmao
The American Paw Paw is actually related to Sour Sop and Cherimoya.
I live in Maryland. My mom started a channel she's right up the road in Pennsylvania. Love your channel I also have a indoor garden I'm about to harvest my first plant pretty much organically too haha.
I want to start a channel a shout out or collaboration would be awesome. ❤
21:25 looks like grapes - they do well for me in the desert :)
Water usage in gallons annually?? Water usage to establish the tropical water loving trees??
It would be alot .im just starting a fruit tree forest.we are going to use compost toilet so the water normal toilet uses can water trees first 2 years with no extra water use or waste
@@richardbird5697 I know a guy that has a permaculture farm in North Texas. It is an environment that, in the summer, is almost identical to Las Vegas. I know that for most suburban and urban locations, even watering native trees in 110+ degrees, is economically non-viable. It is also very very bad for water table resources.
Im near perth western australia its cold in winter and hot and dry summers very hard to get trees established
Nice... John, I noticed you've got the CC going :)
You should have a link to where to buy a good Papaw Tree
😮
Nice, me too :) I had my Asian Pears 🍐 bagged as well, but I guess they were cheap bags because they started to deteriorate in the sun and I was so sad when a squirrel 🐿 stole some of them. Apples 🍎and other stuff too. That has been the bane of my gardening: Keeping pests from getting my food. Does he have a link to the bags he buys?
How much a paw paw grafted or air layered?
How do you know when someone's taste buds are broken? They prefer jujube over figs.
Ha Ha😂
Figs are...definitely an acquired taste.
@@oasisoflasvegas7925 Not really but I would understand if you haven't had a good fig before
Figs have lots of flavors, have to try some of the many verities.
Can we bring our air conditioners outside and garden? :p
🤣 lol, "that's what they told me at Star Nursery" Yeah, they don't have the brightest people working there.
Paw paws aren't related to mango they're related to soursop and custard apple and cheremoya sugar apple etc. They're anonas
What's his youtube
