Hi Doug, Great collection. Wow. Button mangosteen aka Cherapu. Always wanted a few of them. Thanks for stopping by last night and watching my live video. Hope to do it again soon. Take good care my friend. Stay as cool as you can. The heat can be brutal.
Cheers Jason, yeah Cherapu are one tropical plant that might be able to spend its life in a pot, so I can put it in a greenhouse each winter. Good on you making time to go out exercising. I usually walk my dog in the afternoons, and as I do construction am on my feet and climbing ladders all day. I will try to catch your livestreams if the time zones allow.
Hey Brett, hope you are doing well. Yeah these garcinias and plinias should be 8 to 10 years and some of the eugenias might fruit sooner. It doesn't really matter as I have so many other trees in the ground that every year a new tree flowers. For example I have flowers on male and female imbe trees this year. I was 50 this year so by the time I am 60 should have 100s of fruiting trees, my semi retirement will be selling rare fruit, that's the dream.
Wow what an amazing collection. Definitely coming to your place when I'm up in Brisbane again :) Will you be looking for land near Brisbane or a more tropical climate? I love John Picone's setup. He has a big covered area to grow all sorts of things including ultra tropicals. Something like that would be a dream!!!
I'll do a video about the land once I'm out there and sort out where the orchards going. It's on my brother in laws property he bought to retire on, it's 100 acres, 2 hours from me and he's giving me 5 to 10 acres to plant trees on. And yes I might bird net the whole orchard
Awesome Doug, when you lay them all out in a row you can see the results of the effort put in to source all of those! It's like South America in your garden. Did you say Sp gin and tonic?
It's not actually mine,I'm leasing 5 to 10 acres off a family member who is retiring on 100 acre property 2 hours from me. But yes I will definitely keep everyone updated once I start setting up the orchard there.
Great collection forming up there! Getting some extra land is the dream, exciting times ahead!
Cheers Ben, once I have sorted out the land I will do a video about it. Looking forward to planting 5 acres of rare fruit trees.

Your collection never ceases to amaze me Doug although I'm guessing a lot of those young plants have many years to go

Excellent collection there!
Not as good as yours Alastair, but I'm doing my best!
Wow wow and wow
What a line up of very unique and Uber rare plants Doug 👍🏻
Very cool to see a duguetia in Australia
Hopefully I can get some of these fruiting in a few years, ready for you to try when you come and visit.
@@dougs_urbanfarm can’t wait
Looking good as always, ya bugger. Your dedication is really paying dividends.
Lol Andy, I like dedication as a description, sounds better than addiction!

@@dougs_urbanfarm I'll look forward to that video. Cover some of that area and go ultra tropical.
Wow looking excellent! Um, how about send spring back here 😂
Um, no we will keep it thanks G!😉

Did you say Sp gin and tonic?
Ola Paul.😉
South America is where all good stuff is!
Yes it's a Myrciaria sp gin and tonic, and yes I am a sucker for a cool name.
@@dougs_urbanfarm you have an enviable collection mate
Very exciting about your land. Will you take us for a tour at some stage?
It's not actually mine,I'm leasing 5 to 10 acres off a family member who is retiring on 100 acre property 2 hours from me. But yes I will definitely keep everyone updated once I start setting up the orchard there.
@@dougs_urbanfarm cool 😎 Hopefully your friend doesn’t mind you filming on the property.
Yeah he's fine with me filming, it's my wife's brother that I've known for 25 years.
