Your garden is exelent! Thank you. You provide so much practical information in your videos, you have inspired me to try and grow some of these tropicals in north/central Portugal zone 9b
We are looking beat up with some of the tropicals here in 10b South Florida, but everything is hanging in there and the mango blooms are coming out in force! Always nice to see your trees doing well. Merry Christmas!
Always encouraging to see your winter videos. You are inspiring. I've got a bunch of ataulfo mango seedlings and papaya seedlings and plan to try planting them in the spring, here in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, 9b. Also considering planting some of by potted plants in the ground: a Suebelle white sapote, an Alano sapodilla, and a black sapote. Based on your videos, it looks like they should make it.
Thank you. Yeah, based on your inventory, all of your tropical fruit trees, including the seedlings will thrive in your climate. Having been to LeBallister's Seed & Fertilizer, you are extremely lucky to have such a nice fertilizer store nearby.
It’s cool too see all your trees doing so well in the winter. My trees aren’t quite the right size to go out in our weather I feel like, but I’m hoping I can get them all set up and ready for experimental planting this next year maybe? I’ll have to see. I may only have cherimoyas ready at that point, and I’m not so sure I’ll have a shaded spot for them. I’m worried about them sitting in the open during 90-110 degree weather all summer… I may wait till I find me a more permanent home…we shall see… I got to try a Sanford Jaboticaba (plinia phitrantha) for the first time! It was a very interesting experience. The flesh of those is quite tasty… if you find a Sanford variety, I recommend picking it up! I’m definitely planting the seeds and hoping for solid genetics.
Thank you. Spring, or April is perhaps the best time to put the tropicals in the ground, and as the temperature goes up, you can always throw a shade clothe as protection. I have not tried the Sanford variety, but it does sound interesting.
@ I’ll have to give that a try. I’ll talk to the landlord about doing that. If I can get one established here, he might be happy about that. I know I would be.
Great winter video. I actually think winter is a great time to acclimate to the sun so long as the species is hardy enough due to the low UV light levels and cooler temps. Just my theory but helps them be better prepared for when the intense sun and hot weather returns
This is true, though it really depends on the species of tropical fruit tree. For instance, many of the annona varieties such as the cherimoya and atemoya will completely shed their foliage around April and new ones grow to take their place.
Nice video! I wanted to ask you about the mangoes that you trees produce, do they really taste good how they taste in their native land? And another thing, i hope you make a video about avocado trees, very helpful channel keep it up
Thank you. Yes, I would argue they fruits picked ripened from my various mango trees are far tastier than any fruits picked weeks ago and shipped to the States. Even if picked fresh from the trees in their native climate, specific to the mango trees, as they do not have to battle and fungal and other pest issues, the fruits from trees grown in the dry heat will always be superior. On the topic of avocado trees, there’s not much to them. I’d treat them like mango trees, except the avocado trees will need some attention when it comes to actual pollination.
Hope you're having a Merry Christmas!Everything is looking amazing, this winter sure has been rather pleasant so far for us here and the rain is much appreciated, just 2+ months to go,😃 By the way how's your Inga Laurinas doing?
Although I have heard of extremely crazy HOA horror stories, I’m fairly certain the growing of tropical fruit trees can be made aesthetically pleasing and in compliance with HOA guidelines.
Merry Christmas to you as well. Specific to the growing of papaya fruit trees, they perform incredibly well in the Central Valley, including the Sacramento region. Additionally, they germinate crazy easily from seeds and will begin to produce fruits in about a year or two. Here’s a dedicated video I made earlier on this topic: th-cam.com/video/xOKz0E6Q5dc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iT6nvR5nNf5RjtzL

Awesome. Although you’ll want to definitely speak to them, I would imagine any landlord will love tropical fruit trees in their property.
Very nice intro! Merry Christmas!
Looks nice! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you. You and your family as well.

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
The Inga Laurina seedlings are doing awesome.
do you have an HOA?
Luckily, no.
And unluckily, no. I say this because an HOA would benefit my neighbors with them keeping their lawn mowed and kept clean.
@@TropicalCentralValleyan HOA won’t allow the amazing forest you have in your front yard. Happy holidays!

Merry Christmas, how do you get your papaya to grow so well? I live in the Sacramento Elk Grove area.
Merry Christmas to you as well.

Thats a hard choice , the indoors tree🎄 is beautiful but I pick the outside trees with the edible ornaments 🥭🍈🍌🍊🍒🍋
I’m lucky to be able to have both.
How are your soursops doing?
Great, though they’re in a heated greenhouse.
@@TropicalCentralValleycan’t wait to see your soursops plant growing in zone 9b! ❤
Yeah, I originally had a pretty mature one that fruited but was killed off in a nasty winter.
