Planting The North thank you 🙏
you had me at "whats growing on?"
Pete you easily have one of the best channels on TH-cam. Love these short informative videos, you're a wealth of knowledge!! ❤️
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I think it's important to note that although there are many trees that can fruit multiple times a year it is unlikely in the colder climates for example many orange trees will fruit multiple times a year in Miami but only once a year in Jacksonville.
Got my mouth watering in a heartbeat.
Hey Pete I appreciate you taking your time to inform us novice growers. I’m starting a food forest and you have helped guide me away from tragic mistakes! I’m up to 25 different varsities of fruit trees 👍🏼
Thanks Michael! Keep up the good work 👊
Planted a Jamaican cherry tree less than a year ago and you're so right about it being an agressive grower. It's already more than 10 ft and just started bearing berries. And they do taste like cotton candy. Have a Suriname cherry and Barbados cherry. Next up abiu and starcherry..
Farisa Smith abiu and starcherry... i will have to check those trees out. thank you.
I am Jamaican and your number 3 (Barbados cherry) is what we grow here for cherries. I have never heard of plant number 2 so I learnt something new lol
Bought all three! We're here on the space coast, and I appreciate your videos and recommendations! You have been super helpful as we build/plant our food forrest. Look forward to making it over to the Tampa area sometime soon.
Could you do more Florida specific fruit tree videos I'm trying to start a food forest.
D - these are Florida specific. We are located in Florida (30 miles north of Tampa.)
@3:25 TY TY. Was given one of these and the kids love them but only knew it as strawberry tree! Thanks for the name. Out of a sort of blind luck, I have all of these trees in your video on my property!
Purchased all 3,thanks for the heads up.
From where did you purchase them?
I have Acerola and Everbearing Mulberry growing in 9a that weirdly enough I purchased from Walmart. Some Walmarts have cheap tropical fruits plants $7 and up. The Mulberry is a winner and get about a pint to a quart a day of berries when fruiting. I had no idea that pruning it would make it fruit again, so a big thanks for that info. I will have to look up where to find the Jamaican Cherry. Keep these videos coming, our food forest in Sebring FL has benefited greatly from the info and inspiration!
Awesome Jason! Thanks for the feedback. Wow for $7 bucks if it dies from freezing you didn’t lose much.
I am in Tampa. Hudson fl to be exact. Any idea on good place to get trees?
@@davidflash603 Try Jenes Tropicals. In St. Petersburg , Fl. Central Avenue
@@davidflash603 GreenDreams has all of them!
@@haljasonfoster2169 where is that
I’ve watched this vid at least 5 times and each time I catch something new or reminds me of great intell I forgot.
Hi ,mulberry cutting are also easy to get to root ! Easy to make a grove!
Nice I'm glad that i already had them growing in my yard.
I came here for the strawberry tree and in a flashback glow. Thank you!!!
Thank you. Keep Growin on.
Sea Sales definitely! Shirts coming soon 😬
As a Rhode Islander, I can hope to try the Mulberry. That's probably why this came up in the feed, planted 3 trees recently and have been researching.
Just got my first one offically thanks pete
Really nice video... lovely fruits/fruit trees info
I am getting a strawberry tree today :D I'm super excited. I have four barbados cherries and am growing a pakistan mulberry from a cutting as well.
Great video, thanks for some ideas for my AZ yard.
In Guyana the West Indian/Barbados cherry is used to make a fruit juice, they blend it and strain it to remove the seeds, sweetened with sugar and it will taste delicious. I learned about West Indian cherry juice/drink from my neighbour who came from Guyana.
Absolutely beautiful video of these fruits, thank you. I have a weeping Mulberry that pretty much fruits spot on beginning of spring & fruits all way through to about mid summer then just holds and makes green leaves until it drops it all in autumn, I will try & give them a prune around mid summer interesting. Thanks for that tip.
Got nice white mulberry. Cutting now making more trees
subscribed after watching a few of your videos. this is quality content.
Thank you 🙏
Great 💡. Enjoyed your video. Wow I would love some Barbado 🍒. 😋 sweet.
Island cherries.
Thank you for teaching and thank you for helping thank you for teaching people how to better their life and their table love you brother
Thanks man! It's my pleasure
✌ Appreciate your sharing! 💗
GREAT choices Pete, thanks as always for your wisdom and input, im so glad you finally decided to get this channel going
Great video!!! Love the concept!!! please do more fast growing and hard to kill fruit trees and bushes (more tolerant) ...lol
Dana Harper thank you! I'm
already feeling guilty for leaving out some other fruit trees, more videos like this coming soon.
It's true, those 3 will give you nonstop fruit all year long (for me that live in tropics). Jamaican cherry will grow fast and and great for shade only in less than a year, with tons of fruit, you'll harvest them everyday, yes, everyday
Wow didn't know the Jamaican cherry 🍒 great going... loving the energy... vibes and the info
Thanks 🙏
Amazing video Pete! The last two i’ll try find in Perth and give it a grow!
Glad you enjoyed!!
fantastic positive presentation
Thanks 😊
Mulberries are incredibly productive. I have portuguese varieties which yield 100 lbs per plant without even fertilizing.
I also have an italian varietiy that produces less but are way sweeter. Overall an awesome fruit for making juice and jams.
Acerola is awesome too and produces at least twice a year in my country, some varieties will just pump out fruit throughout the entire year non stop
if the rains are constant. Some years we have 2 or 3 months of drought and that's when she goes kinda dormant without pumping out flowers, but
when rain resumes, there she is blessing us with all her generosity. Love me some acerola with papaya smoothie.
Awesome info!
Awesome.👍
Strawberry tree sounds perfect to grow and get fruit....some of the fruit that juicy the bloke had trouble talking .... GRT...juicy....
Thanks Pete
👊
great video.
Jerry heath thank you!
The second in your list is what we call "Aratiles" (Muntingia) :) ❤Phils.
Sarisa or datelis sa ilonggo
Sarisa or datelis sa ilonggo
Two of my recent additions that are already fruiting are the strawberry tree and a kumquat tree. The kumquat is covered in fruit.
Awesome!
the 2nd fruit we call it here in the Philippines(aratilis). As I can remember we make a wine from the fruit
Everbearing mulberry does fantastic in the pnw I live in the Seattle area in Washington. This tree has done very well. Not all mulberries do well here but this tree along with the Illinois everbearing does well. I believe the variety you are showing is also called the “dwarf mulberry” however it is no dwarf.... I have one over 15-20 ft tall. It propagates easy from cuttings; however the Illinois does not root well....
I got in my land Ceylon Gooseberry. They are so great and barbados cherry (Acerola in spanish)
Thank you! I'm going to take pictures and bring them over to my local tree nursery and see which ones they can find for me. (They only speak Spanish at my local nursery). Recently they told me they can hook me up with jabuticabas! Up until now my most consistent producers have been my coconuts, plantains and papayas.
That is awesome! Keep growing on!
The aratiles fruit is known in other countries as Jamaican cherry, In Philippines, ... it was growing like mushrooms in underdeveloped areas of the metropolis... aratiles tree is its ability to grow in poor soil and to tolerate acidic and alkaline conditions as well as drought making it a good "pioneer" plant.
love from pembroke pines florida !
Thanks 🙌
Jamaican berry leaves is good for controlling body sugar...
With the right climate, papaya beats then all
Great video, am looking into a green house to grow these things... LOL
I live in northwest Florida. What fruit trees would be good to grow?
The length of the video was perfect imo. Good one! O btw thanks for attempting to describe the flavor of mulberry.
Anna Kinslow thanks for the feedback! My wife can better describe flavor profiles:)
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL cool. The best I can come up with is each berry tastes like every berry.
O could you tell me if you know anyone growing hazelnuts down here?
Love mulberries there is no other berry that even comes close to the sweetness of a good mulberry and there are no seeds bits to get in the way of their yummmmmmmmmmie goodness. If you can do grow a mulberry tree. Also there are a lot of different types.
@Sunshine Jenny black ones and white ones are my favourite. The black are rich short, plump and sweet and the white ones are super sweet, long and a little thin At least the ones I have had anyway.
Hi Pete
I am very interested in the cultivation of Muntigia, but I always believed that it was sensitive to cold and only withstood a minimum temperature of 30ºF, but in a 9b zone the temperatures are lower, you can tell me what minimum temperature there is on your farm, and how much it supports your mutigia ??
thanks pete
Great info..Do you sell graftings?
Strawberry tree here in orlando is a beast. Literally non stop fruits for months now. Tastes like caramel!
That’s awesome! I’m guessing the winter of 2017 set them back a bit...
ARE you selling or sharing cuttings???
@@darleneholloman5522 I'm not at tge house currently but my sister is. They are doormant due to weather right now. If interested I could have her make you some. But I will tell you I bought a very small tree at a nursery for 15 usd just something that looked like a small branch. In 1 yr it literally turned into a whole tree with many long branches. It grows that fast!
Mulberries grow so quickly and abundantly. Over here in Oklahoma every late spring I (secretly) go to my neighbor's fence and just eat berries right off the tree
Quite hilarious...the Barbados cherry you spoke of is what we have an abundance in Jamaica....that one you called Jamaican cherry ive never seen before tho lol. Thank you for all the knowledge. The only other channel i love second to yours is John @ Growing Greens :)
Nice
Any success starting any one of these from seed?
I planted my Barbados cherry 2 weeks ago. It's dropping a lot of leaves and turning yellow!
Same with me, leafs are drying up even it's raining outside, have done something till now
strawberry tree used to be considered as a weed in Vietnam. They grow fast, fruiting non stop from spring to end of fall, only take 2-3 years from seed to start fruiting, and they can be very invasive. But the fruits are amazing.
Yup! In Costa Rica they grow like weeds. They’re a pioneer tree it seems and die off young in the tropics too.
How long does it take for the muntingia calabura to get from seed to the size of a pepper seedling?Also what should I feed them. Apparently they can't take the sun when they are tiny, the diameter of the trunk is like a hair or smaller.
would any these be suited for temperate climate if not could we get list of ones that would be?
So the strawberry tree and Barbados don't need protection during winters? Will they die? I'm 34 miles north from your farm in Homosassa.
Try paper mulberry! Spreads lile woldfire,, it's beautiful, and it fices nitrogen!!
Then you can plant guevina avellana, nuts that tastes like hazel, lil care needed, spreads fast, grat source of protein and fats!
Pete would you consider doing a video of some common nitrogen fixing plants especially for zone 8 or 9. I'm in 8b. I've googled it but don't recognize any of the plants. Maybe suggest the best ones that grow in that area other than grown covers like clover. Thant you so much for all your information.
Hey pete!
I'm confused by the roselle tea discussion in the midst of the mulberry discussion--did you use mulberry leaves for the roselle tea?
Anything you recommend for the southwest?
Mansanitas!!! They do grow so much and they turn into a tree that provides shades. It's medicinal. It's also a bird food as well. Hahaha...
Hahaha reccomended to me and I was like.. it does look like mansanitas.
I Like mulberry...
Do you know if these will grow south of you....south of Venice? Want to fill my yard with fruit trees. Gave up on Citrus due to disease.
Mullberries-YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM! Thats all i have to say
😋
Has it occurred to you that if someone is homeless but has a friend to use as a shipping address they can order these things in and then plant them in county or state owned areas...yes, it makes the trees county or state owned by definition but it's a food source for people who desperately need to eat and don't always have access to food.
Why aren’t there edibles growing everywhere for free meals?? Good question huh?
@@davidmorris5555 there are loads of plants growing wild in most regions that are edible and tasty. Most people just don't know which are edible and how to harvest.
@@Falcodrin can you please tell me which plants?
@@ff-ti7nj your best chance would be finding a foraging book based on your location. Plants very wildly across the planet. Be very very careful that you have fully identified any plant before consuming. Some plants also need preparation like stinging nettles. You cannot eat them raw but cooked is fine.
Or go to Home Depot
Pete I’m in Tallahassee, any video suggestions?
I went to the link, and I didn't see a recipe for the tea. I would like to make some. If you have time I would like to have it. Blessings ✡👑🕊🙏
Figs
Guava
Papaya
Banana
Apple ber
Pear also great option for beginners
Will cutting these tress to a manageable height (4 feet) damage the trees? I don't have a large area and was thinking of maybe container pots?
It would be fine to cut them that short!
the third one we call it acerola over here....
you might wanna look up star fruit as well... those trees just keep producing and producing and producing.
Yup! I’ve got 10 varieties of starfruit here on the farm. They really are such overachievers!
Where would I buy these three? Amazon?...we are in Zone9B
If i wanted to add some fruit/berry trees in an market garden situation, what would be an ideal crop that could take full sun but not shade vegetables completely while still providing reliable harvests?
Carambola.. starfruit
Yes... this is what im looking for. But im in coastal Texas. So, im working with 9a. we get mid 30s sometimes. the occasional freeze. Im trying to start a 'Famine garden' Heavy Fruiters. doesnt have to be tasty, just edible, sour, and quick and heavy fruiting. 2 year fruiting bushes. i eat alot of miracle berry.. so Noni, becomes tasty. so im looking for the same. I want Tamarillo, NArajilla, Goumi, Soh Shang, Seaberry, elaeagnus, Tamarillo. i need help with things that will grow in 9a, clay or amended clays.. i need direction toward seed and cuttings
Can't wait to plant my first mulberry tree!!
Enjoy! 😋
Saving my pennies to get you guys to develop a plan for 2 acres for us. Do we get to choose the fruit trees and the food we want to plant?
Awesome! I look forward to meeting you. Definitely we try apply all the requests from the client that apply.
I think ever bearing mulberry suck we had one I love the regular mulberry
Do you have these my muntinga trees for sale online?
👍👍🐓👍👍 nice thanks
StevieJoes thank you!
I love me some Peter.
❤️
Can you do Arizona fruit trees
where is the farm nursery? what is happening in your town culturally? any artists or coaches on your methods?
Nice sharing. It help us..
We love your TH-cam channel Pete. Question: Can a Pakistani Mulberry be kept small thru pruning and have it produce lots of fruit?
Thanks Alina! Yes, with regular pruning you can keep the tree 10ft.
Thank you!!! Pound dirt!!! 👍👊🏻
Hi Pete, So everything I’ve seen says that mulberries can take a hard prune, etc. So last fall I heavily pruned my everbearing mulberry here in Florida while it was dormant and while it grew like crazy this year I didn’t see one single fruit. It was so sad. Any thoughts?
Hey Julie! That’s really weird, mine normally fruit heavier from the pruning. I’d check for ants or a bad nematode problem. I am finding some varieties are more susceptible, but the everbearing is normally pretty tough.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL Thanks Pete! I'll look into it! Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate everything you do. You're one cool guy and quite an inspiration!
How do we pick the most productive fruit trees to grow in our own property. For example I’m growing bananas but to me it’s not worth it. They take long to fruit and end up fruiting only once, could you give examples of trees that are the most effective to grow. Or worth our time.
Pitangas! AKA Brazilian cherry. They are fast growing and really pretty. The videos say the fruit is sweet but my pitangas are NOT sweet. They taste kind of like grapefruit, it's an acquired taste. They are easy to grow and good-looking
@kathinspain Do you wait until it's dark/rich in color? The pitangas we had were very citrusy the less ripe/greener they were and ridiculously sweet as they ripened. The hummingbirds would often peck in and get their fill of the sweetest ones if we weren't quick on harvesting them before epic ripeness...
Alatiris! Hehe
how much tree to make one kilos of fruit each day?
