I’m 17 years old running the gardening club at my highschool so far we’ve planted 10 fruit trees. I’m in the works of making a non profit to go plant other fruit trees at all the schools in my state. Your fruit trees are so beautiful you’ve done an amazing job I hope ours can turn out like that!
It's really heartwarming to see a comment like this especially from someone who started gardening at such a young age. Keep up what you do. Your future school fellows will thank you for the fruit trees you've planted:)
This is amazing, I have a rare citrus myself which is the austrailian finger lime or caviar lime tree. Also the pomelo is one of the three original citruses that all other citruses came from, which are the pomelo, the mandarin, and the citron.
Living in Orange County California I have so loved my Oro Blanco grapefruit to eat fresh so sweet! and Moro orange for juice, ( sower but in juice I can add sugar) I also have a Pixi Mandarin which I did not like because it was hard to peel so I left on the tree until mid summer and they were so sweet! Now it is the envy of my neighbors.
You have what I am working on and you got it made! How wonderful you have it! My Owari Satsuma orange looks exactly like that 'Nova' with that bump. Hmm. I only am able to grow Loquats. I haven't started my gardening videos yet, due to intimidation, but will this year. My garden is only three years old. Love your grove so much, I subscribed.
Some of my owari Satsuma fruits get that little bump. Not saying thats what it is but you should get an owari satsuma and brown select satsuma. They are heavenly and the brown select is about a month earlier so you have 5-7 months of ripe pick and eat satsumas. October through April amd sometimes later here in las vegas.
Oh how we would love to plant citrus in ground here in zone 7! Very lovely citrus collection you have there. I would recommend more satsuma/mandarins to your collection such as Sumo/Shiranui, Kishu, and golden nugget!
@@TouchGrassGardening Kishu is very tasty, seedless, and easy to peel, but very smaller in size..kids love them the most though! Sumo is very large, sweet, easy to peel, seedless and the flavor is unique with a taste combination of an orange, pumelo, and mandarin with a larger rinds . Golden nugget is a very very sweet mandarin that a lot of people recommend. I would choose Golden Nuggest or Sumo!
@@natbackyardgarden From that description I may just have to pick up at least 2 varieties, and will keep my eyes open for these next time I'm at my favorite nurseries. Thanks for the advice!
@@TouchGrassGardening haha yes they r amazing and are in season now for a few months! Super expensive but well worth it and to be able to grow it will be even better!
I have more use of lemon then a pomelo for culinary purposes,I have a Meyer lemon, uereka ,keylime seedling, bears lime ,cara ,I need a mandarin now I’m looking for a gold nugget
I have three trees that exhibit the bump on the top of the fruit. Minneola Tangelo , Dancy Tangerine and Dekopon. The one you showed looks closest to the Tangelo. It has a very distinctive taste, sweet and tart, extremely juicy, unlike most mandarin types. The peal and pulp are a darker color than most mandarins.
Very helpful, thank you. Together with your comment and the help of others, I'm fairly certain this is a Minneola Tangelo! Thank you @itsasickness4939 and others!
hey dude I love the backyard. Citrus fruits have really grew on me and I just planted a mandarin and a new kumquat! One comment I might make about those 3 citrus trees you planted by your morning coffee area. I think it's possible that those trees might be struggling a tiny bit because of the rocks! They're probably heating up a ton from the arizona sun on those hot days and potentially causing the roots to burn. Also could be the fertilizer (I'm honestly unsure because I have traditionally stuck to a light fertilizing on young trees), but I have had trees struggle from heat out here in Southern California in the first few years because of some similar things I did which caused excess heat! Also, have you ever cut down a citrus? My father has a citrus that was on a property he bought (about 50 years old for the tree) and this year the foliage was struggling and the tree flowered like crazy a couple of weeks ago without many leaves at all. I'm expecting this to be its finally trip to express progeny and then die, but I'm unsure as there were other factors which might have lead to the tree having such a reaction.
Great comment -- If I had planted them myself, it would be a mulch, not rock, area! These three were here when we arrived in the house, but seem to be doing OK. Would be better without the rock though I agree. As for cutting one down, I've yet to need to. I've heard they normally live 50+ years, so I hope you've got at least a few years left in yours!
We have 3 blood orange trees that grown from seeds. This is the 7th or 8th years. I'm expecting flowers this year because the newer growth have less or no thorn. It's a sign and the age is right to the point where it can produce fruits. Then, I grafted several varieties of citrus onto my orange and lemon trees. So, I hope to get a wonderful cocktail of Sumo, other mandarins, navel, lime, grapefruit, and so on.
Another reason to like citrus trees is that when citrus trees bloom, oh my god, they smell heavenly.
Totally agree... citrus in full bloom is a sight and smell to behold!

@@shanjiang3244 I’ll definitely keep it up, thank you!
Thank you for the compliment. Hope to see pictures/video of your fruit trees someday. Keep it up!
The fruit tree with bump on top may be a tangelo
Most likely, the citrus fruit with the bump/point is a tangelo. It's a cross between mandarin and pomelo.
This is amazing, I have a rare citrus myself which is the austrailian finger lime or caviar lime tree. Also the pomelo is one of the three original citruses that all other citruses came from, which are the pomelo, the mandarin, and the citron.
Beautiful garden and a lovely presentation.

Beautiful trees Matt! Wish we can grow these in Netherlands.
Thank you Cassandra! Maybe time to add a greenhouse? :)
Omgosh, I LOVE citrus!!! 🥰🌱❤️
Good
Thanks for making this video 🤙
I think that’s probably a “lee x nova” or by the other name “Superna” i bet the owner just forgot to say the lee part. it’s seedless right?
A Fruits Paradise.

Thank you, and welcome! Hope to see you here again in the comments section as we garden and grow together.
The “Nova” looks a lot like Sugar Belle, which is a Minneola tangelo x Clementine hybrid.
Absolutely beautiful trees!!
Whats the best tasting Pamalo variety?
Some of my owari Satsuma fruits get that little bump. Not saying thats what it is but you should get an owari satsuma and brown select satsuma.

@@TouchGrassGardening Kishu is very tasty, seedless, and easy to peel, but very smaller in size..kids love them the most though!

We just tried sumo yesterday at Sprouts... $3.99/pound !!! Maybe I need to plant 2...@@natbackyardgarden

Очень понравилась ваша экскурсия! Цитрусы восхитительны!!! 🍊🍋🍊
Добро пожаловать и спасибо! Я рад, что вам понравилось это видео, и надеюсь, что продолжу создавать видео, которые вам нравятся.
Is the juice of the Arizona Sweet variety oranges the same as the sweetness part of the Valencia orange juice? Thanks
To me it's similar. The rind of the AZ sweet is thicker so it does better and grows larger in the extreme heat of Arizona. All around great tree.
Your doubts about that one not being a Nova, it's a Minneola.
No I'm sure it's a "Lee x Nova" they often have the same shape as minneola
Does #4 taste like a tangelo? Minneola can be a bit tart, depending on maturity.
I believe now that it is minneola tangelo. It tastes both a little bit tart/sour and very sweet to me.
Minneola is also extremely juicy (kinda messy to eat out of hand), and makes a fantastic juice! @@TouchGrassGardening
Agreed! I like it a lot, but my wife says it's a bit too sour for her liking. More for me!@@NoVaCitrusGrower
what a beautiful house you have!
What NPK fertilizer do you use?
I use Arizona's Best citrus fertilizer

tangerines are a kind of mandarin- the tangerines have the bump

That’ll be so cool. I think people call that a “Frankenstein tree”!
Fertilize near Memorial Day rather than Veterans Day
Tanglio
I like citrus trees they just grow so sloooooooooow
The grafted ones do,seedlings grown faster.
