Thank you for watching. I hope you're all planting tree seeds! If you want to propagate almost anything, check out my book "Free Plants for Everyone" here: amzn.to/2YiGHtP
My grandfather planted a redwood (sequoia sempervirons) from seed in my parents' back yard when I was born. I am 73 and my mom is 98. That tree is GINORMOUS and still alive too. It can be seen towering over my old neighborhood from miles away. Love trees.
My grandson and I planted some gala apple seeds in a pot that were germinating in the apple when I cut it open. One thrived and the others died so my son planted the little tree in my yard. It's doing well 8 years later. He cherishes that tree. It hasn't borne fruit yet but it's getting bigger every year and grew a lot this summer. It's exciting for him still even though he's 13 years old. He will talk to that tree and sit and look at it and smile!
I planted 4 date seeds. I forgot you said it takes a while. After a couple of weeks, I gave up and stuck the peat pots in the corner. A couple months later, I needed a pot. Grabbed one, dug at the soil to loosen it up, and I found a tiny little seedling under the soil. I wasn't sure what it was because I had previously tried to grow an avocado pit in the same soil. It is now an inch tall, and definitely a date. I'm so happy. I love madjool dates!
I wrapped medjool pits in damp paper towel, inside a plastic bag and placed them above the microwave. Long taps roots appeared after a couple of weeks. I replanted them. On the second replant, I realised they do Not like being moved.😊
I planted a polyembryonic mango seed ten years ago. I just got fruits this year. Unfortunately, the fruit was completely different from the original fruit. Fortunately, the fruit was awesome! My biggest mango weighed in at 2.33 lbs, almost five times bigger than the mango I originally planted.
Im doing the same thing.The big ones are maybe Valencia pride or maybe a Lancetilla? Small tree big mangos. Cool thats what you ended up with. I grew mine and have about 8 of them growing for a year. Grew from Valencia prides. Awesome mangos.
One of my favorite acts of mischief is planting fruit seeds in public landscaping where I see irrigation. I sometimes may do it in people’s yards too... Youre welcome! }=]
When eating an apple while driving, I always throw the Apple core out the window, where it will land in soil, and I tell it to grow, as I throw it. in the early 80s, I was a firefighter, and drove 6 miles on a dirt road to get to work. I always threw my apple cores out the window. My friends always teased me, and said, "You don't really think they will grow, do you?" I always said, "It could happen!" I took my son up the in 1989, and as I was driving up the road, I saw an apple tree! We stopped to pick some apples, but the weren't ripe yet. When we got to the Helibase where I had worked, I asked someone about the apple tree. None of the people I used to work with still worked there, but I was told, "There was a woman who used to work here, and she always threw her apple cores out the window, and told them to grow! I guess one did!" My 2 year old son said, "That was my mommy, and she still does that!" 😊 mommy

@@cla99009 I think apples are the only one that can be grown where it freezes. Lemon trees can be kept small and brought inside or greenhoused in the winter.
@@cla99009 yeah, I didn't watch the whole video to see other fruits. I do have a nectarine tree growing out of my compost pile here, where it freezes. I know pears will grow here too. I think anything that grows in your zone you can probably start from seed.
I spent ALL my stimulus on seeds :D this video is awesome!!! I've bought some expensive fruit and nut trees but the cost has limited me to what I want to buy. You have created a monster I am planting seeds EVERYWHERE now!! Muwahahaha
“Do you expect to die in 5 years?” LOL so true when people give me a face when I tell people how long it will take for fruit. I’m going to plant a mango tree; its germinating right now. My sister is only 1.5 years old right now and to think that she’ll be able to enjoy her own mangos before she’s 10 years old makes me so happy.
At my age, dying within five years is a realistic possibility. But if not planting more trees (I did plant a few) years ago was the worst mistake I ever made, I could be wealthy by now. But even if you're in your sunset years, if you own land that will be inherited by a younger relative...plant those trees for them to enjoy!
You do not need seeds to plant MORINGA! We just cut a twig or branch( here in the Philippines) that's about a foot long, bury half of it in soil and - VOILA! You will have a seedling in a few weeks- they grow really fast, we eat them especially in soups- MORINGA Is a superfood, one of the few plants that's rich in calcium! It has a nigher amount of Vitamin C than citruses, a huge amount of Vitamin A too and so much more! It is the reason behind MANNY PACQUIAO's strenght that catapulted him to achieving the only 8 POUND for POUND or across different weight classes championships in the world!
I learned how to grow pecans from seed for a truffle lab a few years ago and I had to do lots of research before I got started. For anybody who is interested in growing pecan trees: if a pecan floats, it's alive, but if a walnut floats, it's dead, and do not soak the pecans for more than 12 hours at a time without changing the water--they'll drown.
Love this video ... I was that person for many many years ... now I am slightly obsessed with growing from seed ... heavy for the last 3-5 months ... my wife threw some papaya seeds in our garden last year and getting our first fruit now and it’s so cool haha ... now have like 30 papaya , 30 leeches , bunch of mango , 25 grape fruit , 25 Maringa and soo much more .. not stoping anytime soon .. have 12 acres of land to keep it all!
I helped plant a grove of mango trees when I was like five years old. I am 42 years old now and they are huge!! You can hear the fruit fall sometimes landing in a thud!
I grew an Avo about 8 years ago and it started producing fruit 5-6 years after planting ✌ its now about 3 stories high and became a problem in the backyard (over grown) and very wide. Had to get professional tree fellers to prune it up 😄 They are super tasty avos!
When I was a kid me and my cousin would pick the fruit of the maranon, eat it and collect the nuts, roast them and make a delicious candy with brown sugar cane. This would be a whole day project for all of us kids. You transported me back to the most wonderful time in my life. I admire you and Rachel very much for the wonderful way you are raising your children. God bless you all.
My partner wanted to pull out a self seeded plum tree cos it would take too long to fruit. Three years old and it was full of flowers this spring. I can't wait to eat them ☺️
Well I'm 55 and it's my newest obsession, I can't stop planting seeds from the fruit I eat , it's an awesome idea , it's a great hobby and a positive direction 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great info! This year, I put a mixture of coco peat, vermiculite and some manure in a big plastic storage bin (the ones you get at Costco 3-pack for $18). Put in a few moringa, lychee, mango and jackfruit seeds, closed the lid (2 flapping lids) allowing a little gap and put it in full sun. Made sure the mixture stayed moist at all times. Several of these seeds germinated and then I then transplanted them to bigger pots and some in the ground.
I'm in Perth Western Australia. I plant apple seeds in pots and they come up no trouble. I don't chill them. I think because they keep apples in fridges for ages before you buy them chills the seeds enough. I plant date seeds (and other palm seeds) and they come up really easy. no heat underneath needed. Loquat seed grows here like weeds.
8:00 The most effective way to sprout avocados, I've found, is to keep them in a compost bin. Most of them sprout that way, and they require no additional care.
In my yard I have a mango tree planted by my son at age 9. I have just had it trimmed. It just bears the largest mangoes just like the seed that was planted. And it bears profusely. Buckets of mangoes.
I love seed saving!!! I am endlessly fascinated by the way all different types of fruits, veggie plants and flowers all have their own customized method of producing seeds. And the many amazing evolved ways it formed to ensure it's seeds will go on. I'm hooked. I've just started some Cherry seeds as an experiment. I have 9 Meyer Lemon trees 4 months old. Always starting Avocados and then forgetting to water them! But now I want to try more.
i put my small avocado pot in a bigger cup with water half full sitting it at the top of the bigger pot with the water in it so there is a gap were the roots grow down out the pot reacing into the water and you only take the pot out the water for fresh water each week or 2 it i never have to remember to water it and its been growing amazingly healthy i hope i made sense explaining my method
Here in Tallahassee, I planted papaya seeds from a Walmart papaya, and 6 months later, they are about 12 to 15 feet tall and have several 6 inch long papaya fruit on them. I do heavily fertilize with all purpose, mulch and water every day. I am really surprised. If we have a mild winter, I expect to harvest some fruit in a few months.
I so love this video..three years ago my granddaughter asked me to grow an apple from two apple seeds..I did plant it and now we are watching what we call ( the Rowan apple tree grow..)...I was also told that my hundreds of avocado saplings are worthless..in less I graft..and it only got worse...only a few might take...I'd be rich if I could grow an avocado tree from seed...I might not live long enough to see all my trees, asparagus or berries fruit..but my grandchildren will...I love the gift of gardening..seeing life grow..sharing the harvest..propagating, seed saving, composting, better mental and physical health, spending time with my family. learning from mother nature..the list is endless...btw..still want to learn to graft..lol..ty for this video
We have 4 lemon trees from the same seeds. They all turned out different: one tall, two short and bushy, one in-between. We also have about ten trees around the garden that grew from what squirrels burried! They are walnut, pecan... Once I had an avocado tree. The seed started to sprout while I had it in the fridge half cut open.
I love propagating fruit and vegetables seeds and sprouts all over my yard. A few trees I've bought but most were grown here. I hope one day to have my own garden of Eden. I either started them from seed or cutting.
My retort to my adult students when they said "but it took you 2 years" when I told them about building a house along side my part time jobs, which financed a year of travel for myself & 2 preteens was "those 2 yrs would have passed anyway" Then we discussed what they did last 2 yrs. Oh, hang out, go to local bar, watch tv, hang out some more.....NOTHING in their or their children's lives changed. My seed planted peach is delishes. I had forgotten about it until it bloomed & started to fruit last year. Just remembered that I had to be extra careful near my lilac cutting plant in that particular garden. Good info. from you. Thanks
I came here because I was interested in growing fruit trees from seedlings, I was intrigued by the intro song, but you sharing the memories of your coconut tree in your parent's backyard and your Grandma's avocado graveyard is what made me subscribe. Great, wholesome content! Thank you!
I had Medjool dates. Soaked the seeds overnight in water as hot as my tap would go. Then I stuck them in Ziplock bags with a wrung out but slightly moist paper towel. I didn't count, but I would guess I had greater than 60% germination in about a month (I wasn't tracking time well either). The seedlings are sitting outside in grow bags now in central Florida.
Nice, our own personal method is let the bunch soak for about a week, changing out the water every other day or so, then putting in a container full of sand with clear plastic wrap (kicten cling wrap, shipping wrap, etc.) to keep in the moisture. The roots seem to start the same time either way, but the shoots seem to start sooner and with more reliability after soaking and staying in the sand. It's funny how it looks with the shoot almost coming out of a sheath on the root when we transplant them, but they grow pretty well for us that way.
Im always getting seeds from things to see if i can grow it. Ppl think I'm crazy but i just love how amazing the whole process is. Its funny because ppl tell me it takes too long and I litterally tell them that same thing that i dont plan on dying anytime soon so why not?!🤷💕
Hi David! You are right, we have nectarine trees that come up from seeds dropped from our trees that grow fruit in less that two years, YOU ARE RIGHT! Take care, From Robbie and Gary
Last year I missed most of my plums as they fell in storms. Now I have hundreds of seedlings growing. I've also saved this years stones from my harvest. You've really got me thinking about the home nursery idea. What better business to start with impending food shortages than one that creates future food security for people! I have loads of pots so I just need some compost and away I go!! I can even use some of the seedlings as root stock to graft on prunings from my existing trees - I have two varieties so chances are most of the seedlings are hybrids. I could offer the two pure varieties from grafts and a surprise variety too from the seedlings or self-planted stones. Thanks for a really inspiring video (even if most of the trees you mention won't grow where I am)
I’ve been so inspired by this channel. I extracted the inner pit in the way you suggested of a yellow mango ( I’ve heard them called champagne mangoes) and planted it. Within a very few days it sprouted. A couple of days later I find four sprouts from the same seed. I feel like a winner to get a polyembryonic as you taught. I hope it does ok. We are in the middle of my zone 8A heat wave. I also direct sowed an avocado pit. I’ve always found it hard to throw away a seed. Now it’s even harder with the potential you show. Thanks.
I live in Sarasota Fl, and because of your videos i started from seeds a red pear , fugie apple, asian pear , peach and a pomegranate . love your vids thanks
Thank you! Love that you saved “Stinking Toe” for last. 2x the power of moringa is the claim. Make great smoothies. Drilled holes in the seed and strung the seeds up on old shoe string as a kid to play a game of “blackjack”. Much love, will propagate. I’m excited. Thank you for investing your time and sharing details with us. 💚 from st.croix 🇻🇮💚
I started my growing addiction with pot plants and now I’m growing kale ,ginger, pomegranates,mint,Spinach and that’s as far as we have made it but definitely loving growing stuff...✌🏻😎 I loved your amazing video btw...
I started doing that two years ago and it is exciting. Have several seedlings, now. Kids especially would be good candidates for this so when they are adults the trees are of a useful size. If the fruit is bad, the wood us still useful...
I found a peach tree seed that split in two in side. The seeds are white. And it started to have nibbles on them. What is the best way to get it started.
I have citrus trees growing indoors, 3 latest are from grapefruit pits. It's fun to watch and a great exercise in patience when dealing with other big life challenges.
I love your approach to plants David.. I have sent a link of your videos to my Grandson who is 9..because I know he will love your approach and the love you have for plants 👍
Love your channel my friend, I’m a graduate from the University of Delaware with a B.S. in Science of Agriculture. As a fellow plant lover I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you and keep your hands dirty!
Thank you for this video. I just realized that there's at least two apple trees coming up in one of my raised beds in the garden. Now I know I can go ahead and plant them. Thank you
Lived in Mexico and sat out on my deck Looking out at the ocean. Eating a papapa. Thru the seeds over the deck into jungle below . Next winter came back . Was ten ft tall and had fruit . I've been to the garden of Eden. Ever kind fruit imaginal. Lots never have seen.
You are so right about the papaya. I scooped out the seeds, ate the papaya; then I threw the seeds into a large container with a light covering of potting mix. They came up light weeds. I had so many I had to give eight to my neighbors.
I live in South GA state line FL, there are tons of pawpaw growing around the farm, all volunteer trees, even the ones that are about a foot tall bear fruits, small fruits, but super delicious! Planting tons of fruit trees for our farm, some from seed, some grafted. Patience is a virtue....
My dad showed me native paw paw trees in Indiana, and we tasted the fruit. The taste reminded me a little of banana. We also harvested native quarter sized persimmons every fall to make persimmon pudding. A big job, as the fruit needs to pass through a sieve to separate the sticky pulp from the skin and seeds. The wild persimmons are so rich and sweet in flavor when fully ripe, but bitter when not ready. When they are ready the fruit is already mushy with only the very thin skin of the fruit holding it together.
This is so encouraging and informational! I am a seed addict also. When I walk my dog, I am looking for and collecting seeds as I go. So much fun to watch the life cycle of The Lord's creation.
Wow, what useful info. I love to grow things from seed. My pride so far, a papaya that started from seed, probably 8 yrs ago. It was moved several times & am ashamed to say it was abused over the yrs. Finally decided to devote more time & baby it about 4 yrs ago. Last yr, it produced fruit. They died. Kept my caring regiment. Later in the year, I saw fruit again. (I live in SoCal) perhaps the weather helped w/the 2nd fruit. Because it's in a planter, I know I won't get large regulation sized fruit. I didn't. The biggest was about 5in long. The rest (3) were even smaller. However, they were all seedless. Beautiful yellow sweet papayas w/no seeds. Still have a few smaller fruit waiting to ripen. I'm happy. 🤗
I'm new to gardening and have learned quite a bit from your videos. I grew up in the Ft.Lauderdale area too. I moved a short way to Ft. Myers a few years ago and took up growing. For me, it's all about self sufficiency as I get older. I'm even dabbling in aquaponics. Thank you for such good information. You are probably the best TH-cam source of advice when it comes to growing in South Florida.
I have about 30 date seeds that I've had sitting in a drawer for a couple weeks, in a damp paper towel in a baggie. Lots are sprouting and I'm going to plant them soon! None of us really like dates but I'm pretty much just growing Everything I can get my hands on. Apple seeds, peach and nectarine pits are chilling in the fridge too. The mango sprouted really fast, they're def a crapshoot since they were mono-embryonic but theyre cute😁
23:43 There is more to papaya than meets the eye. Papaya trees come in male, female and hermaphrodite. Male trees will not give you fruit. Female trees alone will not give you fruit. You need a male tree or a hermaphrodite to pollinate a female tree. Hermaphrodite trees can pollinate themselves. The fruits have different shape and the flowers are different too. If you look at the pictures at time marker 24:47 the papaya on the left is more rounded. That is a papaya from a female tree. The papayas on the right are more elongated and the flowers also have long stems, that's a hermaphrodite tree. The thing is that you don't know which you are getting until you plant them and they start to bare flowers.
Finally! Someone that knows my kinda weird seeds to grow! Coffee..is my fav seed! Next mango, then avocado, then citrus. I likè things others do not! I like to take chances & when someone tells me I can't..I show them I can! Within the next year I will be in Arizona and I will have at least two greenhouses and a big outdoor strawbale area to grow whatever takes my fancy! Count on coffee, fruits, vegetables, popcorns, herbals for medicines n flavors..I will have things my loved ones want and we need to survive. I will keep you posted🌺
I currently have a bunch of cherry, peach, and necturine seeds in my fridge at the moment. Chilling was how I sprouted some pawpaws and I also have a cherimoya going..
This is true. Jesus told the fig tree, no fruit you die. I prayed over my avocado which I planted from seed and the neighbors all laughed. It became so heavy with fruit the limbs couldn't hold it and the squirrels would go to the top where i couldn't pick and cut them loose, then I took them. I felt bad so I left them a few each day out of their days work for helping me.
Ha ha! I did the same thing as your friend Eddy and it worked. 😂👍🏼. I told my tree if it didn't produce I was going to cut it down, so it produced next season
David, thank you for your videos on growing gardens and trees. You are so encouraging. You bless my heart whenever I watch I feel more optimistic about life. Keep up your Good work. :-)
That's no time, just ask any mother when her baby grows from a newborn to three or four years old. They all say they grew so fast, and they're not a baby anymore.
I have a volunteer walnut and pecan tree in my back yarn. Planted by squirrels in pots on my deck at another house about 15 years ago. Transplanted here by me. The walnut has produced for years. The pecan had 4/5 pecans last year, hoping for more this year.
Just found your channel and I love it ,I love how you explain everything thoroughly you don’t leave anything important out , not only is your channel very educational but it’s really fun to watch to nothing about your channel is boring thank you for being our educator and making learning fun again I feel like I’m on a field trip watching you

Absolutely fascinating content. Everyone should understand the tree growing process and designate a space to do so. Wise men plant trees they may never enjoy the shade of. Thanks for the useful knowledge.
Thanks David, I start most of my topical fruit seeds in a ziplock bag with a moist paper towel. I've started guava, jackfruit, caimito (star apple), apple custard, and mangos. Still trying to prefect them to grow in containers as I'm near Seattle in 8b. When they get bigger, I'll create videos on them and my progress.
Whenever someone asks why I would grow from seed since I'm guaranteed crappy fruit I just remind them of Meyer lemons, ataulfo mangos, and all the other fruit that's often considered some of the best varieties of that type of fruit all come from cross pollinated seeds.

Any living thing has lots of purpose, all satisfies with just their presence, and hope, of continuing oward as we may even want to be part of it, for if we choose to join it in being composted at death, with its dying skin and scales to live through it and cycle through all who it its fruit, as it will feed of our ashes
OK last comment -thank you for this papaya tip (I watched this a while ago and) I did it and now I have so many little papaya seedlings all over the place
Really enjoyed this video. I have been growing trees from seeds for years even in Canada. (Haven't had any produce there, as they usually died after about a year). I am in Belize now and have started avocados, tropical almond, tamarind, star fruit, sapote, mango, passion fruit all from seed. All my trees are about 1 to 2 years old now, so most are not fruiting yet, but my tropical almonds are fruiting and I have had my first harvest when they were about 18 months old!
I have grown several citrus seed varieties that were dried for years. Grapefruit, lemon & orange they sprouted and grew to be just 3-4 foot bushes due to I live in New York State. I never expected them to fruit due to the 4 season climate. I'd still have them if it weren't for the fire at My house December 2020. They lived for about 15 years losing most of their leaves every winter growing them back in spring. I watered them all throughout the year.
Absolutely the best video I have seen in a while, I live in the Caribbean so I am going to try some of the advice especially the dates, I bought medjhool dates so I hope it sprouts and I get some plants thanks so much David👌 you really good 💚
I have bought jackfruit and gotten seeds already germinated inside the fruit. Yes I grew them. Transplanted it a dry river bed up high near a shanty town since I was not going to be there long enough to get fruit.
Thank you David! I have both been affected by those two statements and guilty of saying them. However I usually follow it up with "go for it, if we don't like it we can learn how to graft together!" I am grateful today that I actually try and do these things with others. Trees don't happen over night. We need to plant a few trees or saplings every year to get food!
Yes! Bc hurricanes and fires destroy so many things we love and we need to plant for wildlife. Plant a tree in memory of a loved one instead of releasing balloons
@@tinawindham6958 Well said - with balloons polluting the countryside, rivers or seas but also often responsible for choking and suffocating birdlife which is horrific. Growing a tree is helping Nature also, including bees, birds and wildlife in general.

I have now a litlle clementine seedling that is looking great. Because of you. Hope it will perform.
Also i tried a Jonagold Apple tree. But it did not sprout yet. Did it need a cold periode?
And i Will try many more! It's a lot of fun 2!

@@KRZED not really, it can be an issue if it falls over, but a redwood that massive lasts hundreds if not thousands of years.
The one who plants trees, knowing that he will never sit in their shade, has at least started to understand the meaning of life.
Very well said. Sounds like Soloman. ❤

I planted 4 date seeds. I forgot you said it takes a while. After a couple of weeks, I gave up and stuck the peat pots in the corner. A couple months later, I needed a pot. Grabbed one, dug at the soil to loosen it up, and I found a tiny little seedling under the soil. I wasn't sure what it was because I had previously tried to grow an avocado pit in the same soil. It is now an inch tall, and definitely a date. I'm so happy. I love madjool dates!
I wrapped medjool pits in damp paper towel, inside a plastic bag and placed them above the microwave. Long taps roots appeared after a couple of weeks. I replanted them. On the second replant, I realised they do Not like being moved.😊
I planted a polyembryonic mango seed ten years ago.
I just got fruits this year. Unfortunately, the fruit was completely different from the original fruit.
Fortunately, the fruit was awesome! My biggest mango weighed in at 2.33 lbs, almost five times bigger than the mango I originally planted.
WOW!! 👍🏼
Im doing the same thing.The big ones are maybe Valencia pride or maybe a Lancetilla? Small tree big mangos. Cool thats what you ended up with. I grew mine and have about 8 of them growing for a year. Grew from Valencia prides. Awesome mangos.
I heard mango and avocado plant does not fruit exactly the same as the seed it came from.

When eating an apple while driving, I always throw the Apple core out the window, where it will land in soil, and I tell it to grow, as I throw it. in the early 80s, I was a firefighter, and drove 6 miles on a dirt road to get to work. I always threw my apple cores out the window. My friends always teased me, and said, "You don't really think they will grow, do you?" I always said, "It could happen!"
I took my son up the in 1989, and as I was driving up the road, I saw an apple tree! We stopped to pick some apples, but the weren't ripe yet. When we got to the Helibase where I had worked, I asked someone about the apple tree. None of the people I used to work with still worked there, but I was told, "There was a woman who used to work here, and she always threw her apple cores out the window, and told them to grow! I guess one did!"
My 2 year old son said, "That was my mommy, and she still does that!" 😊 mommy
That is a great story! Good work.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! Your son will continue to share this wonderful story with their children! Huge hug!

@@cla99009 I think apples are the only one that can be grown where it freezes. Lemon trees can be kept small and brought inside or greenhoused in the winter.
@@PoodleParti Some peach varieties and pecans can survive in Utah.
@@cla99009 yeah, I didn't watch the whole video to see other fruits. I do have a nectarine tree growing out of my compost pile here, where it freezes. I know pears will grow here too. I think anything that grows in your zone you can probably start from seed.
This intro fulfills my life David
That song is a vibe ha
Same yo
HEY KEVIIIN!!! nice videos
Seriously though lol it's a lifestyle
Hi Kevin!
I spent ALL my stimulus on seeds :D this video is awesome!!! I've bought some expensive fruit and nut trees but the cost has limited me to what I want to buy. You have created a monster I am planting seeds EVERYWHERE now!! Muwahahaha
How's the tree journey going 😄 update!!
I agree completely! I don't care what people say about growing fruit trees from seed. I do it anyway. That coconut tree!!! Great video!
“Do you expect to die in 5 years?” LOL so true when people give me a face when I tell people how long it will take for fruit. I’m going to plant a mango tree; its germinating right now. My sister is only 1.5 years old right now and to think that she’ll be able to enjoy her own mangos before she’s 10 years old makes me so happy.
Good work!
Great sister u are!
I,planted a mango seed
i,start seeing the root's
how long will it take to grow? it's the very small mango the mini.
At my age, dying within five years is a realistic possibility. But if not planting more trees (I did plant a few) years ago was the worst mistake I ever made, I could be wealthy by now.
But even if you're in your sunset years, if you own land that will be inherited by a younger relative...plant those trees for them to enjoy!
You do not need seeds to plant MORINGA! We just cut a twig or branch( here in the Philippines) that's about a foot long, bury half of it in soil and - VOILA! You will have a seedling in a few weeks- they grow really fast, we eat them especially in soups- MORINGA Is a superfood, one of the few plants that's rich in calcium! It has a nigher amount of Vitamin C than citruses, a huge amount of Vitamin A too and so much more! It is the reason behind MANNY PACQUIAO's strenght that catapulted him to achieving the only 8 POUND for POUND or across different weight classes championships in the world!
I learned how to grow pecans from seed for a truffle lab a few years ago and I had to do lots of research before I got started. For anybody who is interested in growing pecan trees: if a pecan floats, it's alive, but if a walnut floats, it's dead, and do not soak the pecans for more than 12 hours at a time without changing the water--they'll drown.
Love this video ... I was that person for many many years ... now I am slightly obsessed with growing from seed ... heavy for the last 3-5 months ... my wife threw some papaya seeds in our garden last year and getting our first fruit now and it’s so cool haha ... now have like 30 papaya , 30 leeches , bunch of mango , 25 grape fruit , 25 Maringa and soo much more .. not stoping anytime soon .. have 12 acres of land to keep it all!
Can I come over?
Leeches? Do you mean lychees?
@@judylloyd7901 yes , that’s unfortunately lost all then from a freeze and a hurricane… have a new , much better fruit Forrest now …
I helped plant a grove of mango trees when I was like five years old. I am 42 years old now and they are huge!! You can hear the fruit fall sometimes landing in a thud!
Were they from seed? Cool story.
I grew an Avo about 8 years ago and it started producing fruit 5-6 years after planting ✌ its now about 3 stories high and became a problem in the backyard (over grown) and very wide. Had to get professional tree fellers to prune it up 😄 They are super tasty avos!
When I was a kid me and my cousin would pick the fruit of the maranon, eat it and collect the nuts, roast them and make a delicious candy with brown sugar cane. This would be a whole day project for all of us kids. You transported me back to the most wonderful time in my life. I admire you and Rachel very much for the wonderful way you are raising your children. God bless you all.
My partner wanted to pull out a self seeded plum tree cos it would take too long to fruit. Three years old and it was full of flowers this spring. I can't wait to eat them ☺️
Well I'm 55 and it's my newest obsession, I can't stop planting seeds from the fruit I eat , it's an awesome idea , it's a great hobby and a positive direction 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
What fruit trees do you plant in such a cold climate? Do you plant in a green house?
Great info!
This year, I put a mixture of coco peat, vermiculite and some manure in a big plastic storage bin (the ones you get at Costco 3-pack for $18). Put in a few moringa, lychee, mango and jackfruit seeds, closed the lid (2 flapping lids) allowing a little gap and put it in full sun. Made sure the mixture stayed moist at all times. Several of these seeds germinated and then I then transplanted them to bigger pots and some in the ground.
I love my coconut tree (actually a 2 ft) sprouted from David’s coconut tree he started at his folk’s place...how cool is that!
That is awesome!
This right here is a little nugget of goodness. Literally gifts that keep on giving!
Your from Florida Ma'am Loyda right?
I'm in Perth Western Australia. I plant apple seeds in pots and they come up no trouble. I don't chill them. I think because they keep apples in fridges for ages before you buy them chills the seeds enough. I plant date seeds (and other palm seeds) and they come up really easy. no heat underneath needed. Loquat seed grows here like weeds.
8:00 The most effective way to sprout avocados, I've found, is to keep them in a compost bin. Most of them sprout that way, and they require no additional care.
True!
Always dreamed of having an orchard in a tropical paradise! Life is so short... Thank for I have heaven and eternity to look forward to!!!!
I have composted for decaudates, and a master composter.. I am always on the lookout for new ideas on composting that makes it better.
thank you
Kris
In my yard I have a mango tree planted by my son at age 9. I have just had it trimmed. It just bears the largest mangoes just like the seed that was planted. And it bears profusely. Buckets of mangoes.
That is awesome!
I love seed saving!!! I am endlessly fascinated by the way all different types of fruits, veggie plants and flowers all have their own customized method of producing seeds. And the many amazing evolved ways it formed to ensure it's seeds will go on. I'm hooked. I've just started some Cherry seeds as an experiment. I have 9 Meyer Lemon trees 4 months old. Always starting Avocados and then forgetting to water them! But now I want to try more.
i put my small avocado pot in a bigger cup with water half full sitting it at the top of the bigger pot with the water in it so there is a gap were the roots grow down out the pot reacing into the water and you only take the pot out the water for fresh water each week or 2 it i never have to remember to water it and its been growing amazingly healthy i hope i made sense explaining my method
Here in Tallahassee, I planted papaya seeds from a Walmart papaya, and 6 months later, they are about 12 to 15 feet tall and have several 6 inch long papaya fruit on them. I do heavily fertilize with all purpose, mulch and water every day. I am really surprised. If we have a mild winter, I expect to harvest some fruit in a few months.
Excellent work, Brian. That rocks.
Are you in a nene?
Me 2..but mine haven’t fruited. Probably all males🙀
That is awesome!!
Can i,leave my papaya tree in a small pot so it can stay small?
I so love this video..three years ago my granddaughter asked me to grow an apple from two apple seeds..I did plant it and now we are watching what we call ( the Rowan apple tree grow..)...I was also told that my hundreds of avocado saplings are worthless..in less I graft..and it only got worse...only a few might take...I'd be rich if I could grow an avocado tree from seed...I might not live long enough to see all my trees, asparagus or berries fruit..but my grandchildren will...I love the gift of gardening..seeing life grow..sharing the harvest..propagating, seed saving, composting, better mental and physical health, spending time with my family. learning from mother nature..the list is endless...btw..still want to learn to graft..lol..ty for this video
We have 4 lemon trees from the same seeds. They all turned out different: one tall, two short and bushy, one in-between. We also have about ten trees around the garden that grew from what squirrels burried! They are walnut, pecan...
Once I had an avocado tree. The seed started to sprout while I had it in the fridge half cut open.
That's awesome! Your lemon tree siblings remind me of my siblings. Some short, some tall, some this way, some that way. Lol
@@magicmantis i suppose they are like a family similar but different in there own way lol
If you have dogs keep the fruit off the ground as it is supposed to be toxic to dogs, so I read today.
I love propagating fruit and vegetables seeds and sprouts all over my yard. A few trees I've bought but most were grown here. I hope one day to have my own garden of Eden. I either started them from seed or cutting.
Good work.
My retort to my adult students when they said "but it took you 2 years" when I told them about building a house along side my part time jobs, which financed a year of travel for myself & 2 preteens was "those 2 yrs would have passed anyway" Then we discussed what they did last 2 yrs. Oh, hang out, go to local bar, watch tv, hang out some more.....NOTHING in their or their children's lives changed. My seed planted peach is delishes. I had forgotten about it until it bloomed & started to fruit last year. Just remembered that I had to be extra careful near my lilac cutting plant in that particular garden. Good info. from you. Thanks
I'm addicted to planting aswell and think it's part of my life career. Thanks
I came here because I was interested in growing fruit trees from seedlings, I was intrigued by the intro song, but you sharing the memories of your coconut tree in your parent's backyard and your Grandma's avocado graveyard is what made me subscribe. Great, wholesome content! Thank you!
Thank you, Elijah. Welcome.
I had Medjool dates. Soaked the seeds overnight in water as hot as my tap would go. Then I stuck them in Ziplock bags with a wrung out but slightly moist paper towel. I didn't count, but I would guess I had greater than 60% germination in about a month (I wasn't tracking time well either). The seedlings are sitting outside in grow bags now in central Florida.
sounds like a project I would be interested soon.... thanks.
Nice, our own personal method is let the bunch soak for about a week, changing out the water every other day or so, then putting in a container full of sand with clear plastic wrap (kicten cling wrap, shipping wrap, etc.) to keep in the moisture. The roots seem to start the same time either way, but the shoots seem to start sooner and with more reliability after soaking and staying in the sand. It's funny how it looks with the shoot almost coming out of a sheath on the root when we transplant them, but they grow pretty well for us that way.
How Cool!
Im always getting seeds from things to see if i can grow it. Ppl think I'm crazy but i just love how amazing the whole process is. Its funny because ppl tell me it takes too long and I litterally tell them that same thing that i dont plan on dying anytime soon so why not?!🤷💕
Heck yeah.
Yes🌳🍀
Mango seeds are my favorite,, also loquat bc they grow so fast! And are delicious...I look forward to march here in Alabama when they are ripe!
Hi David! You are right, we have nectarine trees that come up from seeds dropped from our trees that grow fruit in less that two years, YOU ARE RIGHT! Take care, From Robbie and Gary
That is awesome. Thank you.
Last year I missed most of my plums as they fell in storms. Now I have hundreds of seedlings growing. I've also saved this years stones from my harvest. You've really got me thinking about the home nursery idea. What better business to start with impending food shortages than one that creates future food security for people! I have loads of pots so I just need some compost and away I go!! I can even use some of the seedlings as root stock to graft on prunings from my existing trees - I have two varieties so chances are most of the seedlings are hybrids. I could offer the two pure varieties from grafts and a surprise variety too from the seedlings or self-planted stones. Thanks for a really inspiring video (even if most of the trees you mention won't grow where I am)
"I miss you, Grandma...." Really nice.

That's how I do it. Get it sprouted put it outside and forget to water. It's not working out too well.
I’ve been so inspired by this channel. I extracted the inner pit in the way you suggested of a yellow mango ( I’ve heard them called champagne mangoes) and planted it. Within a very few days it sprouted. A couple of days later I find four sprouts from the same seed. I feel like a winner to get a polyembryonic as you taught. I hope it does ok. We are in the middle of my zone 8A heat wave. I also direct sowed an avocado pit. I’ve always found it hard to throw away a seed. Now it’s even harder with the potential you show. Thanks.
I live in Sarasota Fl, and because of your videos i started from seeds a red pear , fugie apple, asian pear , peach and a pomegranate . love your vids thanks
Great work! Share your progress as they grow - I would love to see them.
How did they do!?
Thank you! Love that you saved “Stinking Toe” for last. 2x the power of moringa is the claim. Make great smoothies. Drilled holes in the seed and strung the seeds up on old shoe string as a kid to play a game of “blackjack”. Much love, will propagate. I’m excited. Thank you for investing your time and sharing details with us. 💚 from st.croix 🇻🇮💚
I started my growing addiction with pot plants and now I’m growing kale ,ginger, pomegranates,mint,Spinach and that’s as far as we have made it but definitely loving growing stuff...✌🏻😎 I loved your amazing video btw...
Gardening side of youtube never disappoints. Love it
I started doing that two years ago and it is exciting. Have several seedlings, now. Kids especially would be good candidates for this so when they are adults the trees are of a useful size. If the fruit is bad, the wood us still useful...
Yes!
Wildlife loves fruit!
I'm a seed addict too.... i've got a container with freezer bags with seeds in it....
Avocado, Mango, Papaya, Lemon, tangerine
That is so cool!
Fellow #seedaddict here

I found a peach tree seed that split in two in side. The seeds are white. And it started to have nibbles on them.
What is the best way to get it started.
I have citrus trees growing indoors, 3 latest are from grapefruit pits. It's fun to watch and a great exercise in patience when dealing with other big life challenges.
This is good because I wanted a grapefruit tree but can not pay $40 for one! Crazy!! I am going to go get a grapefruit right now. Lol
I love your approach to plants David.. I have sent a link of your videos to my Grandson who is 9..because I know he will love your approach and the love you have for plants 👍
Thank you - that is great. Tell him "Hi" for me. I got started in gardening as a kid myself.
Love your channel my friend, I’m a graduate from the University of Delaware with a B.S. in Science of Agriculture. As a fellow plant lover I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you and keep your hands dirty!
Thank you for this video. I just realized that there's at least two apple trees coming up in one of my raised beds in the garden. Now I know I can go ahead and plant them. Thank you
Lived in Mexico and sat out on my deck
Looking out at the ocean. Eating a papapa. Thru the seeds over the deck into jungle below . Next winter came back . Was ten ft tall and had fruit .
I've been to the garden of Eden. Ever kind fruit imaginal. Lots never have seen.
You are so right about the papaya. I scooped out the seeds, ate the papaya; then I threw the seeds into a large container with a light covering of potting mix. They came up light weeds. I had so many I had to give eight to my neighbors.
Very encouraging....i don't plan on dying anytime soon.
I live in South GA state line FL, there are tons of pawpaw growing around the farm, all volunteer trees, even the ones that are about a foot tall bear fruits, small fruits, but super delicious! Planting tons of fruit trees for our farm, some from seed, some grafted. Patience is a virtue....
That is marvelous.
My dad showed me native paw paw trees in Indiana, and we tasted the fruit. The taste reminded me a little of banana. We also harvested native quarter sized persimmons every fall to make persimmon pudding. A big job, as the fruit needs to pass through a sieve to separate the sticky pulp from the skin and seeds. The wild persimmons are so rich and sweet in flavor when fully ripe, but bitter when not ready. When they are ready the fruit is already mushy with only the very thin skin of the fruit holding it together.
thanks to this video, I have cherry, peach,plum and nectraine seeds in soil in my fridge..lol. My girls love you!
This is so encouraging and informational! I am a seed addict also. When I walk my dog, I am looking for and collecting seeds as I go. So much fun to watch the life cycle of The Lord's creation.
Im obsessed with collecting seeds
Wow, what useful info. I love to grow things from seed. My pride so far, a papaya that started from seed, probably 8 yrs ago. It was moved several times & am ashamed to say it was abused over the yrs. Finally decided to devote more time & baby it about 4 yrs ago. Last yr, it produced fruit. They died. Kept my caring regiment. Later in the year, I saw fruit again. (I live in SoCal) perhaps the weather helped w/the 2nd fruit. Because it's in a planter, I know I won't get large regulation sized fruit. I didn't. The biggest was about 5in long. The rest (3) were even smaller. However, they were all seedless. Beautiful yellow sweet papayas w/no seeds. Still have a few smaller fruit waiting to ripen. I'm happy. 🤗
Growing Trees, like all plants is as much about the journey as the result. I love watching my plants growing that bit more every day!. 🌎✊🏽🌻
I love your childlike, yet practical adult, enthusiasm! Grow from seeds! 🍎 🍑
My family and I love your parents to food forest. Thank you for inviting us there. We were hoping to see you in California after Baker Creek expo 2019
Thank you.

Excellent episode. Thank you David The Good!
I'm new to gardening and have learned quite a bit from your videos. I grew up in the Ft.Lauderdale area too. I moved a short way to Ft. Myers a few years ago and took up growing. For me, it's all about self sufficiency as I get older. I'm even dabbling in aquaponics. Thank you for such good information. You are probably the best TH-cam source of advice when it comes to growing in South Florida.
Thank you, Jim - much appreciated. I'm actually thinking of writing a South Florida Gardening Survival! book, as it really is a unique climate.
@@davidthegood have you Done aBook? I’m in north fort myers onthe water and am looking to grow lots of things in my yard
Today I Ate my first peach from a tree I bought ... Stratifying the seeds now
Awesome!
I have about 30 date seeds that I've had sitting in a drawer for a couple weeks, in a damp paper towel in a baggie. Lots are sprouting and I'm going to plant them soon! None of us really like dates but I'm pretty much just growing Everything I can get my hands on. Apple seeds, peach and nectarine pits are chilling in the fridge too. The mango sprouted really fast, they're def a crapshoot since they were mono-embryonic but theyre cute😁
Good work!!!
23:43 There is more to papaya than meets the eye. Papaya trees come in male, female and hermaphrodite. Male trees will not give you fruit. Female trees alone will not give you fruit. You need a male tree or a hermaphrodite to pollinate a female tree. Hermaphrodite trees can pollinate themselves. The fruits have different shape and the flowers are different too. If you look at the pictures at time marker 24:47 the papaya on the left is more rounded. That is a papaya from a female tree. The papayas on the right are more elongated and the flowers also have long stems, that's a hermaphrodite tree.
The thing is that you don't know which you are getting until you plant them and they start to bare flowers.
Started my own years ago and i love to keep trying with more and more seeds
Good work.
@@davidthegood thank you 😊
Finally! Someone that knows my kinda weird seeds to grow!
Coffee..is my fav seed! Next mango, then avocado, then citrus.
I likè things others do not! I like to take chances & when someone tells me I can't..I show them I can!
Within the next year I will be in Arizona and I will have at least two greenhouses and a big outdoor strawbale area to grow whatever takes my fancy!
Count on coffee, fruits, vegetables, popcorns, herbals for medicines n flavors..I will have things my loved ones want and we need to survive.
I will keep you posted🌺
I currently have a bunch of cherry, peach, and necturine seeds in my fridge at the moment. Chilling was how I sprouted some pawpaws and I also have a cherimoya going..
Do you think that growing cherimoya from seed would be easy? It's my FAVORITE fruit and I always dream about growing my own lol
This is true. Jesus told the fig tree, no fruit you die. I prayed over my avocado which I planted from seed and the neighbors all laughed. It became so heavy with fruit the limbs couldn't hold it and the squirrels would go to the top where i couldn't pick and cut them loose, then I took them. I felt bad so I left them a few each day out of their days work for helping me.
Ha ha! I did the same thing as your friend Eddy and it worked. 😂👍🏼. I told my tree if it didn't produce I was going to cut it down, so it produced next season
Good work!
This video changed my life. Thanks David.
David, thank you for your videos on growing gardens and trees. You are so encouraging. You bless my heart whenever I watch I feel more optimistic about life. Keep up your Good work. :-)
I just love your enthusiasm when you say it won't take to long to have trees, maybe 3 to 4 years
That's no time, just ask any mother when her baby grows from a newborn to three or four years old. They all say they grew so fast, and they're not a baby anymore.
👍God bless you, if everyone thinks like you, this world will be green
💖👌
So glad I found the big joel of gardening
Loved this. I have been planting seeds and cuttings for years (and of course grafting). It's faster than people think.
Good work, Bill. Thank you.
I love this! So many people discourage others from planting seeds just because it takes a little time. How soon was your soonest fruit?
I sure love these long videos you do! Always enjoy the odd bits of info and humor. Going to Amazon to buy the book. Thanks!
Great video! I have become obsessed with growing plants from seeds!! Thanks you!
Great! Glad you're here.
I have a volunteer walnut and pecan tree in my back yarn. Planted by squirrels in pots on my deck at another house about 15 years ago. Transplanted here by me. The walnut has produced for years. The pecan had 4/5 pecans last year, hoping for more this year.
Just found your channel and I love it ,I love how you explain everything thoroughly you don’t leave anything important out , not only is your channel very educational but it’s really fun to watch to nothing about your channel is boring thank you for being our educator and making learning fun again I feel like I’m on a field trip watching you

Absolutely fascinating content. Everyone should understand the tree growing process and designate a space to do so. Wise men plant trees they may never enjoy the shade of. Thanks for the useful knowledge.
Thanks David, I start most of my topical fruit seeds in a ziplock bag with a moist paper towel. I've started guava, jackfruit, caimito (star apple), apple custard, and mangos. Still trying to prefect them to grow in containers as I'm near Seattle in 8b. When they get bigger, I'll create videos on them and my progress.
You are my kind of gardener! Push that zone!
Whenever someone asks why I would grow from seed since I'm guaranteed crappy fruit I just remind them of Meyer lemons, ataulfo mangos, and all the other fruit that's often considered some of the best varieties of that type of fruit all come from cross pollinated seeds.
Correct. A good point.

" Even if I know the world would go to pieces tomorrow, I'd still plant my apple tree today" - Martin Luther
One of my favorite quotes
haha I thought you said martin luther KING
Any living thing has lots of purpose, all satisfies with just their presence, and hope, of continuing oward as we may even want to be part of it, for if we choose to join it in being composted at death, with its dying skin and scales to live through it and cycle through all who it its fruit, as it will feed of our ashes
The shade on red delicious apples was on point and necessary 👏🏻
OK last comment -thank you for this papaya tip (I watched this a while ago and) I did it and now I have so many little papaya seedlings all over the place
Awesome . This is the best , quikest , coolest vid on exactly what I wanted to learn . Thanks man .
Really enjoyed this video. I have been growing trees from seeds for years even in Canada. (Haven't had any produce there, as they usually died after about a year). I am in Belize now and have started avocados, tropical almond, tamarind, star fruit, sapote, mango, passion fruit all from seed. All my trees are about 1 to 2 years old now, so most are not fruiting yet, but my tropical almonds are fruiting and I have had my first harvest when they were about 18 months old!
put as little as possible NPK , every week , not too much , speed up the fruiting timing
This was one of my all time favourite videos l have ever watched. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Thank you, gioknows - that is kind of you.
I have grown several citrus seed varieties that were dried for years. Grapefruit, lemon & orange they sprouted and grew to be just 3-4 foot bushes due to I live in New York State.
I never expected them to fruit due to the 4 season climate. I'd still have them if it weren't for the fire at My house December 2020.
They lived for about 15 years losing most of their leaves every winter growing them back in spring. I watered them all throughout the year.
I'll surely want your book.. I want a plant nursery... you energised me... I'm from Jamaica 🇯🇲...I start my garden ☺️
Thank you.
Wow! You're like... The Bob Ross of trees.
I loved watching Bob Ross when I was a kid. Thank you.
Absolutely the best video I have seen in a while, I live in the Caribbean so I am going to try some of the advice especially the dates, I bought medjhool dates so I hope it sprouts and I get some plants thanks so much David👌 you really good 💚
Thank you so much for making this video. I got inspired to start growing fruit trees at home, starting with lemons and you gave me some great advice
Thank you, Christopher.
I have bought jackfruit and gotten seeds already germinated inside the fruit. Yes I grew them. Transplanted it a dry river bed up high near a shanty town since I was not going to be there long enough to get fruit.
Thank you David! I have both been affected by those two statements and guilty of saying them. However I usually follow it up with "go for it, if we don't like it we can learn how to graft together!" I am grateful today that I actually try and do these things with others. Trees don't happen over night. We need to plant a few trees or saplings every year to get food!
Yes! Bc hurricanes and fires destroy so many things we love and we need to plant for wildlife. Plant a tree in memory of a loved one instead of releasing balloons
@@tinawindham6958 Well said - with balloons polluting the countryside, rivers or seas but also often responsible for choking and suffocating birdlife which is horrific. Growing a tree is helping Nature also, including bees, birds and wildlife in general.
