Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the video. These mulberry varieties are Thai dwarf and worlds best. They’re both available through our online store. 👊 GreenDreamsfl.com
My two trees that you Installed have given me more than 20 pounds of fruits. It is now almost finished and I can't wait to prune for a next production period.
Hello Jim , I enjoy your video of Mulberries, Living on a fourth generation farm from 1919 it has a Mulberry grove on it when my great granddad bought the farm in 1919 here in jasper county in southwest Missouri. a plate from 1875 shows this mulberry grove existed than and maybe as far back to the civil war. So the mulberry grove and trees are at least 150 years old. Just a little information about mulberry trees you might find interesting. Dale
6:00 I planted a dozen pumpkins throughout a 50ft row of cucumbers last year, and they successfully worked as a trap plant for vine borer. No cucumbers hit, but almost all the pumpkins were attacked.
So beautiful! Im so glad to see the variety show at once and so big. Its wild to follow the growth of this land and the happy humans sowing it!!! This is the most beautiful April i can remember in 30 years. Just about every flower is in bloom in PA right now. Thanks for documenting this knowledge. The human impact on corn pollination is a huge eye opener. My family didn't use greenhouses, but this shows the benefit.
My mulberries looked like yours before my move I had to cut some big roots coming out of the bottom of the 30gallon pots 😢so I could get them to their permanent home in the ground on our new farm, they’re making a full recovery now🎉. In North Florida Bradford County
I planted an everbearing mulberry from Petes online shop in 2022 and right next to it, a mulberry from Lowes and Petes tree is already fruiting and outperforming. The tree from Lowes was in a one gallon and the one from Pete was in a tiny 4" pot. I was skeptical at first because Petes tree was double the price and like 10 times smaller. But one year later, the Green Dreams tree is vastly outperforming the Lowes tree. I highly recommend to spend the extra money and get your fruit trees from Pete. They will be small because they have to be shipped but don't worry they will outperform anything else you can get your hands on locally.
My trees had a little more than that but I lived in a similar climate to Florida, but I lived at about 800m above sea level. We lived on cattle land and the soil was a mixture of red volcanic soil (some of the best in the world as we lived on an old volcano) and composted cow poop. But yeah, that's a good amount of Mulberries! well done, I miss mulberries as I have moved back into the city due to the increase of property rates. In Japan, the leaves are worth more money than the berries. You can use the leaves in a tea to treat inflammation. We had really sweet ones too, I ate some at my friends house and they were no where near as good. I think it's the soil and the genetics.
Our town used to have mulberry trees all over. There was one growing up along side a bridge over a river with the branches sticking just over the top so you could pick them while walking past. Unfortunately the city just saw them as a mess so they cut them down. The bridge tree is still alive though, it's just really short.
That's a nice memory. It's too bad weird people have to ruin it for the next generation? This happened in my hometown too in md...I thought it was normal to be able to go to the city park whenever I wanted some mulberries. Until they were cut 👇
No they cut it because they want you to buy food from the big box store. Everything else is just an excuse to remove free food. You just watch they soon will go after people like Jim. They don’t like people wanting to live like that. Growing food it’s pretty sad.
Interesting seeing your arguments on the avocado flowers. I take 2 things from it, the first one could be an indicator of the health of the tree and the nutrients available, the second a way for the tree to condition the top soil around it; food waste enriches the ecosystem around the tree giving this one better health on the long run. I agree with Jim, the tree knows.
Sitting here in the Desert SW, I am blown away over it all. Here the Wild Mulberries are a pick and choose flavor spectrum, and once you find a good one it is a matter of visiting it every Spring. The Mess they make with the amount of fruit and the purple bird poop on the cars...that is why I wont have one in the yarden! They make for nice Jammy-Scones!
The trouble I have with Mulberries up here in North Florida is the deer will strip the leaves until you can get them high enough the deer can't get to them. I grow the native Red Mulberry and another tree from a cutting off a UF tree. Not sure what variety it is but very productive and an early fruiter.
Here an international subscriber from the Netherlands. I'll in stay in Port Richey in 2024 from may 28th up to june 30rd. During my visit i would like to see this incredible garden with my own eyes and have some small talk if you don't mind.
What is the farmers market he is selling at? I know it has been mentioned before. I use to have mulberry and mulberry pie as a child and miss it so much.
I planted a quite cold hardy dwarf mulberry a few weeks ago. I am afraid the fruit quality is probably not as good as your varieties, but we will see. (small growth was most importent, since big trees were not allowed) Edit: it is supposed to be even smaller than the thai dwarf mullberry and should be less than 5 feet
I love their garden. He mentioned one mulberry is sweeter than the other mulberry. I couldn't get the name of the mulberry tree that he mentioned was sweeter. What was the name again?
LOL😂 Smacking into the cuke Jim with his magic touch, down in South Florida wondering if a hoop early in our season for tomatoes would let me have tomatoes, real problem with insects and fungus amongst us. What Mulberry cultivar was that @Pete Kanaris ? (This is formerly @A Fishes and Loaves Life if you remember me been watching you all for years). A Jackfruit tree from seed pushed out two babies less than 3 years old. Hoping one or both make it after the Avocado talk and fruit trees dropping fruit.
Hey how's it going, I live in Orlando and have been looking for Mulberries for quite some time Can you tell me of somewhere I can go and get some mulberries like this garden here or anywhere else? Appreciate it
Yeah I've noticed they can be finicky and they cant handle potting soil, it always burns them but they love shaded natural woodland soil! They do better in hard clay than store soil for some reason!
Maybe the plastic over the veggies keeps the dew off them. I read something about how dew can be bad for tomatoes and cucumbers because it promotes bad fungal growth and mildew. Maybe when it's not covered the plant is putting nutrients towards fighting those infestations caused bv the dew? That's the only thing I can think of.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL That is wise. I do the same thing with my blackberries and blueberries I use them from the freezer for part of my daily smoothies. I am going to add a mulberry tree to the garden
Hey I am wondering what video you posted that had Jims's contact information in if you could find that for me and comment back so i can ask him what Calander he uses to see what day he should plant what i.e. leaf day, root day etc. thanks i am fallowing in his footsteps with some tweaks up in Wisconsin. thanks again
Yay, Jim video ! About the borers or whatever is going on with Jim's ( and Tanner's :) ) cucumbers and squash... this may not be the most all-natural, or getting to the root-cause thing to do, but I'd be curious if tobacco would "work" . I use it to prevent cucumber beetles - those yellow with black spots or stripes lil things that fly and apparently really weaken the plant and make for & spread powder mildew like crazy - . I suspect my soil is the issue, but I'm still learning and have little $ and energy and keep having to move, so, doing what works while also seeking to improve my soil life in my now no-till garden ( lovin that !!!). What seems to be what did the trick and with 100% success is to get pipe tobacco ( maybe there's OG out there ? I never did check and am now trying to grow my own - well, I did, but this will be my 1st season using it-), and place a small handful of it in the "hole" at planting or transplanting time. Later is ok if they're already in tho, that's what I did the 1st time, but they hadn't been in long. Don't know how this works when done much later. Anyways, this was actually supposed to be for other types of squash pests, the squash bugs I think but maybe the borers, idk. . I have had some borer issues (but the plants generally stay alive) on my squash sometimes, and I do use the tobacco on ALL my cukes and squashes, as the cuke beetles had begun killing ALL of them, by the year I started this solution. ( Who - in the Midwest- doesn't have enough of their own zucchini ??!! ) I've had absolutely no more problems - tho I've seen them around the yard - with those cuke beetles since I started doing this, and incl. moving to a few more properties, all with their own horrible soil issues in their yards & my with little time, $, knowledge and stuff to improve it much, very quickly. So, I think the tobacco is what is working for me. I bought my seeds from Pinetree, I chose the variety " native" or "Wild" , figuring it would be the most hardy for me here in zone 4 to start with and hopefully develop my own "landrace" ( if I'm using that correctly ?) from/with it. I don't know anything about how they cure tobacco for sale, so, maybe my simple home dried leaves won't have the same qualities - definitely doesn't have that pungent, sweet smell the stuff we'd bought does.. so, we'll see how it works ! I think I'll trial at least one of everything with it and use the store-bought on the rest... . I'm pretty sure where I even got this idea from was in the classic book " Carrots love Tomatoes" .
@Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsTV Thanks Pete been trying the past couple years when I can get my hands on a few fruit haven't had any luck with getting the ecotype I want from seed. Will try to use cuttings I think the temperature down here in south Florida is just goo difficult to get right on sprouting these seeds

You and Jim are an inspiration.
Thanks!
So good to see you and Jim at it again, always. Especially since your business is taking off more and more. Thanks for making time for this video.
please if you could tell me what type of plastic are you using over your greenhouse?
So the second tree was "World's best" ?
I just love Jim and tanner, couldn't get enough of these videos. Tanner has been a great addition
Glad you enjoy!! 🙌
Him pulling back from 4.00$ speaks. We need more like him.
Yes. I agree.
I'm glad Jim will be around a while longer and great to have Tanner there as well, good team. Pete made it happen online.
the red mulberry is a glorious tree! every yard in America should have one
My car is already red so that would be ok by me.
but what about white mulberries?
I love Jim attitude, always thinking about optimizing yields.
Sell those babies for $4!! They're such a delicacy. Our tree next to the paddock went off wild this year. We froze over 2 gallons 💚💚💚
My two trees that you Installed have given me more than 20 pounds of fruits. It is now almost finished and I can't wait to prune for a next production period.
🙌🙌🙌
20 pounds! thats amazing
I pruned back our mulberries in December and we had a huge bumper crop this year and I propergated a ton of the cuttings

Any tips when planting a Mulberry would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Jim is my hero.
6:00 I planted a dozen pumpkins throughout a 50ft row of cucumbers last year, and they successfully worked as a trap plant for vine borer. No cucumbers hit, but almost all the pumpkins were attacked.
see how they do this year
i suspect trap crops might just increase the population of total beetles
Great video, Jim so relaxed farming that land. Tanner soaking it all up. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow. I need more property to fill with all these plants.

How would that compare to getting wild white mulberry trees in Iowa forests
50 bucks for a 1 gallon 👎
Awesome seeing Jim and Tanner! And Tanner’s little one is adorable 💖
I have a Mulberry that was hurt by a late winter frost. It has never had as much fruit as the one in this video. Incredible! Great video!
It'll bounce back. It's normal for the leaves to drop on Mulberry trees during the Winter.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Awesome! Thank you for the encouraging words! Have a great week!
Get a 30% white shade cloth Jim. I have it over my farmer’s friend greenhouse and it works incredible! 👊

Yes interested to know!

Fantastic I love mulberry ☘️
what an amazing garden
Mulberry is my favourite time of year
Those berries looke very refreshing, still agog to see some pear action xD
🍐🍐🍐🍐
My mulberry tree is just LOADED this year too i havent seen so many berries
explain this iguana juice please and awesome stuff. peace peace
Jim certainly has working man's hands!
Sweet leaf 💨
Man I wish my mulberries were this productive. 😭
It’s all about the right variety
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I've got tice and everbearing. I've got a Rachel's, but it's still too small.
great video ill be looking for a couple weeping mulberry trees this season
Love berries! We have so many coming in soon. Last year feels like the raspberries come so late and then the frost took them.
birds and squirrels haven't discovered them yet...you're lucky
We have enough to share 😉
What kinda of mulberries were those?
New port Richey Florida. That was the worlds best and Thai dwarf. Check out our online store. Greendreamsfl.com
I use Spinosad for pickle worms. No problems at all this season in North Florida.
What variety of mulberry at 2:35? I didn't catch it.
Thai Dwarf and World's Best
Im in Tennessee, dropped to 45 and tomatoes were not affected. Flowers didn’t drop, tomato plants grew 8 ft so far.
For a short time, the temperature should not affect the tomato production.
Where do you get those metal things for the tomatoes?
Home Depot or Lowe’s
Impressive.
Wow he's something
Mulberry is one of my favorite berries.

Yes, a good Cultivar probably makes the difference..I won't know! LOL
You can get white mulberry varieties that don't stain, but I don't know if they attract less birds.
Very nice!
I would like to know where you got your tunnel
Hey Pete what kind of mulberries did he plant that keep for a week? Thanks
That is the Thai dwarf and worlds best.

I have seen a lot of those small fruit trees bearing fruits, I think as long as they get enough fertilizer it wil be all right.
It’s more about soil quality than fertilizer. Jim has never fertilized…

Your plants in the greenhouse are protected from any geoengineering/aerosol spraying?
Hopefully!!
I love mulberry! I’m not having as much luck with mine
Yeah I've noticed they can be finicky and they cant handle potting soil, it always burns them but they love shaded natural woodland soil! They do better in hard clay than store soil for some reason!
