Matthew's yard is small but his fruit tree selection and placement are impressive. Thank you Matthew for showing us we can grow fruit trees in small spaces.
I think we start with a little bit of plants. Then we end up trying to stuff all the plants that will fit in our yards over the years. I sure did. It gets addicting.
❤ The more I watch your videos, the more I want to move to Florida. My husband and I are in the military. We're both retired. Well, his last day is tomorrow. We live in central Texas. I love the idea of creating an oasis in my backyard with fruit trees. I was born in Trinindad, but I grew up in St. Vincent. We had fruit trees everywhere. I loved it. Our snacks growing up were fruit, not candy. Great video as usual. 😊❤🎉 Thanks for sharing.
She was really nice to show you around her place that was great, her pick your own fruit business sounds good to me, she should be fixed up good for food. Thanks
I had about 100 fruit trees planted in pots last time in my very small garden. 10x60 feet space. The problem with fungus and insects were crazy cause of how close they were planted and not much air flow. I had 70 fig trees of different varieties planted in 3 gallon grow bags back to back with each other so i cut all of them to single stems and got over 200 fruit in 4 months. They dont go dormant in my country so i get 3 crops of fig a year. Unfortunately because of the fungus and disease i had to throw 50 fig trees away and now i only keep 15. But i still have another 40 fruit trees. So now i have like 55 trees plus 20 jaboticabas which im planning to sell when they grow bigger
Wow! Your yard is beautiful! I am so envious, haha. I'm trying to get my yard fixed up. I got 3 mangoes and a white peach tree and some dragon fruits I bought. I'm in southern California, so it's a little trickier to grow them, I hear, but I think I can do it. Countless others do it. Anyways, though, beautiful yard!
Beautiful food forest. Thank you for sharing. If you add some natural hardwood mulch, grass clippings, leaf mulch, pine needles to build up your forest floor it will solve a lot of the watering shortage. Also if you add ALOT of flowerring plants to the underside, you will get better production/fruit take.
I love highlighting these smaller yards and what can be done in the space. I know many of us who live in south Florida know, a lot of our property sizes are very small, lucky if you have a 1/3rd acre lot for your house. Very relevant
Well done I have to cut my coconut tree to close to my avocado tree an taking all the nutrients it's about 5 yrs grafted an flowers once an never again
I wish i lived some place warmer. I have a 1 acre food forest i made but I'm in Nebraska so my options are limited. I have about 100 fruit trees, Apple, Pear, peach, plum, hazelnut, pawpaw, then about 200+ fruit bushes and vines around the borders of the yard and house. All of my cold hardy kiwi died this winter. Like 20 plants total. My Schisandra vines do great. Might replace the kiwi with some of those. If i lived some place more tropical i would grow so much more.
I would be interested in how you prune them to keep them smaller. I would like to hear what fruit the things are instead of the varieties cuz I have no clue what they are maybe if I lived in Florida. I would also like to know which things would be able to grow in which zones. But thank you for showing us your yard
I'll be visiting in the next few weeks and am looking to buy property and create a food forest. Any chance I could visit/tour? I don't have a TH-cam channel, I just want to learn and get some ideas 😊
30% wood chips, 30% peat, 30% sand and 10% biochar. You can make biochar by putting hardwood charcoal in a bucket and smashing into small pieces with a poece of wood(wear a mask). Then charge it wish nutrients, fish emulsion, worm castings, etc. Plenty of vids on making it. Good luck!
Very interesting and enjoyable. I love to grow pretty much anything, but I especially would like to be able to grow a variety of fruit trees. However, living in Kentucky my options are limited. I do grow indoors, and I have a options for outside, but not for what I'd like to be able to do, which are tropical fruits. It's amazing how many trees/plants Matt has there. I'd spend hours just sitting in the backyard. Thanks for the video, guys.
Kentucky has a great climate for paw paw trees(and they have a paw paw festival), persimmons, apples, peaches, pears, fig(take indoors or bury for winter) just to mention a few.
What is the ph on your soil? What do you feed your mango trees? Any tips for someone who has clay soil with 7ph soil. I am trying to lower ph and learning on what to give the mango trees.
I live in pompano Beach with a smaller yard and I’m working at getting my yard food forest to be tight like this. Any plant donations for local pickup welcome. I love the jungle forest feel and natural look.
That is way too close together. Anyone who has seen how big these trees get when they’re mature knows there’s no way they are going to fit there. Either they’ll shade each other out and not produce anything…or he’ll have to prune them extremely aggressively which will lead to very poor production as well. Also the rainbow eucalyptus will stunt all the trees around it. Hopefully I’m wrong, though, it’s a really nice fruit tree collection for sure and I hope he succeeds.
It is so inspiring to see Matt grows so many fruits tree in such a small space.
I enjoy your videos of other yards, especially if the yards are more than just a mango mono culture.
Love it! I love how he used the perimeter to get so many varieties and still a usable lounging space. Kudos.
I like the perimeter thing too. So many in that small space!
Garden looking absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see people planting fruit trees. Beautiful yard!
The yard is really nice! Like me I like it neat . He has ALOT of trees in there! So nice he invited you to come view it. Enjoyed this alot. Thanks 🤗
Beautiful how he designed the backyard
I live on a tenth of an acre and am amazed at how many fruit trees I have been able to plant. It is so addictive.
Wonderful fruit garden
Great fruit garden and marvelous flowers.....
Show us the flowers too!
Beautiful set up and happy green thumbing my brothers !!!!!

Alot of nice looking fruit trees. And I like how he has them planted.
Very lovely. Glad to see the fruit trees in pots. It's an encouragement for me because I have limited space.
Beautiful fruitful garden. Thanks for sharing! 🌸 Loved it!
Dudes got a really green thumb!
My yard is 3x the size of his and I'm struggling to find placement for all of the trees I want. He should come to my house and help me out.
I like the way this guy stays on top of his trees. Amazing well done
Wow, I love his palm trees. I really love coconut trees. He has an amazing fruit jungle. Paradise.
Wow alot

All those fruit trees will add a lot of value to your property
Matt has a small but cozy fruit garden. Awesome.
Thanks for showing and sharing your beautiful garden with us! Amazing job how you’re able to cramped so many fruit trees! Enjoy and stay safe!
Impressive that he has so many well-growing trees in containers as well.
Like that he created an edible landscape! Really nice ! Thanks for sharing

Check out the book "Grow a little fruit tree". We don't need to grow trees like commercial growers.
Commercial growers aren't growing large trees either. They did, but now they have high density orchards.
Great book!
I have the book, iets great

Very nice 👍
Looking good
I love eating mangos. But for the rest of the year I love the looks of coconuts. Especially the tall variety.
Beautiful food forest. Thank you for sharing. If you add some natural hardwood mulch, grass clippings, leaf mulch, pine needles to build up your forest floor it will solve a lot of the watering shortage. Also if you add ALOT of flowerring plants to the underside, you will get better production/fruit take.
When you water a mango tree the mangos are not sweet they taste watered down

Please do a update on Bobby ultra tropical greenhouse!!
Come see us in Clearwater, Tampa Bay, I have 30+ fruit trees on less than 1/4 acres
I'll be visiting in the next few weeks and am looking to buy property and create a food forest. Any chance I could visit/tour? I don't have a TH-cam channel, I just want to learn and get some ideas 😊
@@yuppystick a friend of mine just filmed our garden
th-cam.com/video/zDlUT2Huzng/w-d-xo.html
He should get a small beehive
Nice yard 👏 👍
❤🙏🏻shalom
I would like a sugar apple plant
U need to try jamaica otaheite apples its easy to grow&june plum
where do get passion fruit seeds from
May keep an eye on your LZ that got damaged because it may not be an LZ if it broke apart by the graft.
What is the best soil mix for all those fruit trees in the pot including mangos? Need to do a video for the beginners.
30% wood chips, 30% peat, 30% sand and 10% biochar. You can make biochar by putting hardwood charcoal in a bucket and smashing into small pieces with a poece of wood(wear a mask). Then charge it wish nutrients, fish emulsion, worm castings, etc. Plenty of vids on making it. Good luck!
What are the fruits at 19:20 and following? A "red"? A "scarlet"? You called it the "jabra" corner or something.
McCray!
Dylan!

I think lime helps
Remember Starfruit cause Renal Failure if you eat a lot of it
I thought the palm trees would rob nutrients from mango,I guess not lol,he’s making it work
Yard is fantastic. The coconut tree is very impressive.
What trees can I grow against my house / walkway / driveway
Any tree you like will grow just fine you may have to prune it depending how big you want it to get
@@FruitfulTrees just worried about roots damaging side walk/drive way/ or my house if I plant too close to any structures
which Planting zone are you in?
Northern part of 10b
Where is this?
juipter Florida
We're Is this?. Sorry I I missed it
South Florida

probably not a great place to park, under the coconut tree :P
that ain't a small space :P
