It's a great feeling getting them in the ground.
Your driveway garden beds look excellent, they will be very productive👍
Thanks Paul! I was actually inspired by your beds when I was there :)
Thanks for sharing about your greenhouse being unheated. I think having a safe place, even unheated, that protects these plants from the cold wind, really helps them make it through winter. Also really like the canopy forming above your planted trees, that’s great timing!
That, plus each tree will be double wrapped in heavy frost cloth over winter!
Thanks George for sharing your progress!
My pleasure!!
Hey, that's the way to go!!! The less pots, the better👍🏼Good video🎬
You got that right!
Wow so blessed. When I plant tropicals here in central west WA I need to build up with rocks logs anything then soil around the root ball because we have loam on clay. And LOTS of thought put into micro climate but that’s how it goes. So fabulous and learning so much from you.
I'm super glad you are enjoying the content. Thank you for sharing!
Great job George, look forward to seeing the progress, love the videos as usual, all the best 🙂
Thanks! Many updates on the way👍
Theres something very satisfying about planting in ground when you have the space available , I'm very jealous lol
I know what you mean Brett!! I'm jealous of them with an acre or more :)
I think there's a real connection between trees. They help each other. So it's going to be an awsome experiment to see how they go with Melbourne's climate. Frost etc.
It's really looking awsome. Mulch looks good, some good soil building there. I think if you planted those trees far apart they would die. But close together they protect.
Correct. They have 6 months to grow roots and meet in the middle before first frosts.
Hi George, what's your favourite black sapote and white sapote variety? Are black sapote seedlings worth it and has the Kampong you tried at Urban Bounty's become your new favourite over Hawaiian Supreme?
My grafted black sapotes haven't fruited, so the seedling is all I've tasted. It was good tasting. Hawaiian Supreme is still my favourite tasting WS, followed by Suebelle.
How’s your Yeem Pay Wampi going? I remember a couple of months back you had a young Wampi with a little bit of fruit on it. I was about to buy one but then saw your video and you said the Yeem Pay is much better than the other variety. Sadly the nursery’s don’t know what variety they are selling.
Yeem Pay is sweeter. It sailed through winter unprotected at only 2 feet tall. It's lush green and pushing new growth.
@@RealLifeFruitopia that’s great to hear. I’ll have to go back and find that video, I think you said it was only a year old and started fruiting. I’ll have to order one through Daleys to get the Yeem Pay. 👍🏼
@@biblicalwealthhello there, you might find that the leaves on the other varieties smell almost the same as curry leaf when you squash them but the yeem pay does not 👍
@@UrbanBounty that’s great to know. I think it was your channel I first heard about the Wampi a year or two ago but I never bought one until I saw George eat one of his Yeem Pay fruits & decided on Yeem Pay it is but all the Nurseries up here in Brisbane just sell them as a Wampi & have no idea they come in different varieties. I’ll go back this weekend and try your little leaf test. 🤞
Watching with interest how these things perform. Would love a soursop but probably a bit ambitious for me. If your does ok I will try though. I have had a Hicks Fancy for years and see it as only a root stock now. Unlike the Black English and neighbours White Shatoot with nice fruit the Hicks has only shrivelled little fruits. Good for the kids silkworms though.
If you get regular below freezing temperatures I wouldn't bother with inground soursop. My lowest minimum can be -2c, and that's for 2 days every alternate year.
looks phenomenal
Thanks!
Hi George, have you grown moringa, panama berry successfully?
I've tried growing both a few times without sucess. Panama berry is not going to work here as it suddenly dies at or below 5C. I still have a chance with moringa.
@@RealLifeFruitopia I lost my 7 feet Panama berry this winter even after fruiting.
Are you able to grow soursop? Its truly a tropical doesn't like below 55 f dies from frost, I would think its difficult to grow? In your climate.
Not too dense they grow right next to each other in the wild
Soursop is definitely out of its native climate where it's planted. The fun part is trying to grow it and maybe succeeding?
High density just means more fruit in the beginning but once they grow larger and compete for sun, they will produce less so its the same fruit production as normal plantings, home production doesn't matter you get more variety in high density.
Hi George I saw your video about your compost from about 3 years ago, have you changed or updated any of your process for your composting?
I don't plant inground trees with compost in the hole anymore. Using native soil with chop and drop mulch on top is how I've been rolling for 2 years.
I love dense planting, works for everything I have 40 fruit trees in the front garden. As I was told, you are not a farmer so stop trying to grow as one lol.
Also surprised by the Davidson's Plum. They do well in Melbourne, I'm not that far from you I think, Carrum Downs, and ours went from a twig to a small tree in a few years.
Nice to hear your plum is growing well. I'm not too far from you up the Eastlink.
@@RealLifeFruitopia yeah east of the city. One day I'll do a video of my garden.
Hopefully your Plum takes off. I'll know in a month if we will get our first fruit.
@@matthewfarrell317 Mine set half a dozen fruit a few years ago then suddenly died. th-cam.com/video/EfgXC4w3vBs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RealLifeFruitopia
It's now fully recovered with 2 additional suckers.
very beautiful
Thanks a lot
❤
We had 17 degrees overnight in Brissy but dry as dogs balls
The complete opposite to here! 5 degrees overnight, with 9 days of rain in 2 weeks! Melbourne is sorely aching for heat!!
Yeah mate, this is as dry as it's been for a long time.
Ours is an addiction , new trees and new projects. Sorry if there is an error but I use Google Translate.
It's non-stop. My last acquisition was two fig trees with copyright.
Greetings
I fully understood you! This addiction is fun for all :)
Wrap the whole perimeter of that area in the frost cloth!!!
Maybe you were joking, but double wrapping each individual tree will be much cheaper and snug.
Someone told me that dwarf mulberry doesn't mean that the tree itself is dwarf, what it means is that the fruit is smaller.
Wheres the native tamarind
In the centre of the back yard above the dragonfruit. It's over 6 metres and doing well.
