  • John from www.growingyour... takes you on a field trip to Phoenix, Arizona to the home of Jake Mace where you will learn the top 12 fruit trees that can thrive in the desert with little care.
    In this episode, you will discover the garden of eating that Jake Mace has created at his standard residential tract home in Phoenix, Arizona. You will get a tour of his edible food forest garden and learn about the 12 most important desert adapted fruit trees you can grow.
    Besides some of the most desert acclimated fruit trees, you will learn about some of the more tropical fruits that Jake is growing in the form of "extra credit".
    You will also discover a few of the most important practices you must do to ensure your success growing fruit trees in the desert or other hot, dry, arid climate zone.
    Finally at the end of this episode, John will interview Jake about some of these desert adapted fruit trees as well as talk about some good vegetables to grow in the heat. You will also learn about water and water conservation and how you can save more water growing your own food and eating lower on the food chain.
    After watching this episode, you will have a better understanding of the best fruit trees to grow in the desert and how to make changes in your life to leave a lesser foot print on the planet.

      Economic inflation is making foods much more expensive than normal, and other political factors are forcing farmers (especially in the UK) to leave crops rotting in the fields.

    • @yellowbird5411
      @yellowbird5411 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Because they are not interested in gardening. They would rather go to the store, buy what they want, and be done with it. But I drive down the street and look at all the "wasted" space taken up with grass, both on private property and city properties. It's everywhere. This is why I don't see a time when food will become scarce. We have tons of places to grow food.

      HOA's. Those are the main culprits. Especially in cities like Las Vegas, NV. City laws and more hinder folks. Used to be the way to show you are a patriot was to have a victory garden, a yard which provided food as well as visual. When we left the USA in 1978, people had food in their yards. We came back, 8 years later, it wasn't legal nor fashionable. We were in shock. Over in Europe, people even rent land in a garden lot to grow their own food if they didn't have a yard. Time to return to the old ways, kick out the bad rules and HOA's.

    I’m still watching these two guys after all these years. I’ve viewed them both as inspirational gurus of gardening. Came across this video by chance today (8/27/24), even though this video has been in circulation for some time now, it sure was good to see John do a tour guide of Jake’s amazing oasis. While I’m in Central Texas, the type of fruit tress recommended are applicable in our weather: figs, jujube, grapes, cactus fruits, mesquite, persimmons. Dates will likely freeze here. I’m still in awe of how much Jake was able to do in five years, transforming his garden into an oasis. I too, filled my yard with wood chips/mulch every single year and tells people that’s the best thing one can do for plants. Why feed water to lawn when I can have returns from trees that will produce fruits?

      Unfortunately, in Az we are losing a large portion of water we are allotted from the Colorado river. “The valley”, Phoenix and the areas surrounding it are very dependent on that water.
      Also the metropolitan areas are MUCH hotter than the more rural areas. In the valley you see temperatures above 100f everyday for months, and at night it doesn’t cool off like the traditional desert.
      I’m not trying to be discouraging, but with the water situation, I would consider very carefully where I buy in Az.
      In my area, 30 years ago they decided the aquifer couldn’t support the current population for another 50 years. No stop in population growth has been implemented. Wells that have produced fresh water for a hundred years have gone dry. Living in the desert is great! I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, but do your due diligence in research.
      Best of luck!!!

    I have two very large mesquite trees in my xeriscaped front yard (which is quite small). I can't even see the rocks anymore because the detritus and fallen pods from the mesquites makes the ground look like a forest floor, lol!
    Those trees have allowed me to grow potted herbs, aloe vera, and various other plants in the El Paso desert. They keep my home much cooler, too. In 6 years, they've grown from mere twigs, to about 30 feet high, and wide enough to almost completely form a green, lacy canopy over my entire front yard. We use the mesquite trimmings to grill, too. Great wood for barbecues.
    My backyard has nothing but Caliche, sand, and a couple of volunteer desert willows that I plan to cultivate. Right now, my backyard looks the the surface of the moon, because it hasn't decided what it wants to be, but you've truly inspired me to introduce some pomegranate shrubs and some fig and apricot trees....maybe even grapes!

    Ironwood/saltcedar are very invasive. The cats claw, which is what Jake actually has, is completely different. Ironwood is very water greedy and salts the surrounding ground with its foliage, making it nearly impossible to grow anything else in the area. That's why most states, Nevada and Arizona are two of them, are trying to irradicate the ironwood/saltcedar tree because its wiping out a lot of native plants.
    I've got one in my rental yard and they are very aggressive and a major pest.

    Lawns keep the home cool, rocks radiates heat. Watering plants and lawns keep the water cycle going. When we had a lot of agriculture and lawns in our neighborhoods, we had wonderful, dependable monsoon rains almost every night. When the farm land was bought and used to make homes with rocks in the yard and parking lots and streets, guess what? Yep, seems like a heat bubble keeps the rain away. Other problems with rock yards, rocks. Rocks all over the sidewalk where children, wheelchairs, and adults trying to get exercise. Rocks that get thrown into roads, windows, at people. I apparently have a pet peeve about rock yards, but I will try to listen to why I clicked on this and that is about fruit trees that do well in the desert. :)

    LOVED this video, by the way. We moved from Southern Oregon, where I had my own amazing garden, to Las Vegas and I tried so hard to grow a garden here (at 115) and it has been tough with the heat! My cherry tomatoes, oregano, garlic and kale have been fairly easy but zucchini and pablano peppers have been difficult.

      Yes, when you live in the desert you usually don't go out in the noonday sun. But to make a video it's the best thing. I'm going out to garden now, it's 5:20 pm, 17:20. The sun will set at 8pm, 20:00.
      In the morning one would garden from six to ten. Best time for solar electricity is 10am-5pm, 10:00-17:00.

    Thanks guys. And - out of necessity, I have decided to start my own organic farm. We get snow here, lowest at 10 degrees. I was thinking about vertical hydroponics, I like the organics and 90% less water use. I am a Veteran so I am trying to capitalize on available benefits offered by state and federal resources.

    • @adnel4142
      @adnel4142 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I personally don't like hydroponics. In my opinion the quality of the food could be compromised or manipulated which is why it's being pushed. Put down wood chips, straw, old dried grass from lawns , kitchen scraps and it will retain water AND fertilise the soul over time.

    Maringa (1st tree in video): Grows well in desert sandy-decomposed granite soil; requires little to no watering other than the occasional biyearly shower; grows extremely fast requires pruning; prolific dropped pods need constant picking up; leaves easily stripped from twigs are excellent lettuce substitute in sandwiches; found in any Filipino American yard (seeds would be gladly given).
