Alyssa, I think your black sapote will grow well for you once it gets established. It's a strong tree that has no problems with the cold at all here in Sydney. Hopefully it'll take off this summer!
Beautiful lush, tropical garden! It would be nice to have a video with Heliconias growing in a few months. I am at 37 deg North latitude (similar latitude as Melbourne which is 37 deg South). I planted a few jackfruit seedlings this summer -- hope they grow here.
Ah thanks for your lovely comments. I’ll do another vid in summer . I’ll get the heliconias on film for sure, they are incredible! Good luck with the jackfruits. It’s all about micro climates and trial and error 🤟
George from Real Life Fruitopia just introduced me to your channel. Good to see others growing tropicals. I'm in the Illawarra, currently growing: Kampong White Sapote Erdon Lee & Red Ball lychee Tygarah Vanilla Jackfruit ( a renamed jackfruit cross chempedak) Daley's Sweet Carambola Acerola Cherry Starlings white and Pink Supreme Guava Jaboticabas (Giant, Red Hybrid, Scarlett) Ice Cream Bean ( Endulis, Spectibilis) Krasuey Sapodilla Seedling Rollinia Luc's Garcinia Achacha VDB and Desert King fig Miracle Fruit Dragonfruit ( Purple Haze, Lemonade, Aussie Gold, Pearl) Dwarf Cavandish Dwarf Red Dacca Persimmons ( Saruga, Ichikikiro) Peanut Butter tree Sherwood Jujube Chris White Sapote Star Apple (DPI Gold, Alva) Loquat (Dwarf Nagasakiwase, Bessel Brown)
Wow that’s an amazing list of fruits! Maybe you could do a garden tour vid? I’m very interested to see what works for you, as we’re in the same climate. How is the star apple and chemperdacks going?
@@sapotesaporium5408 The star apples are tiny just bought them a few months ago on ebay The grafted jackfruit/chempedak is about five foot tall inground. Not exactly as fast growing as I hoped. Fruited a few times during winter but they end up dropping off. My yard is small, going to struggle to fit them when they're a decent size
Wow that's a massive list. Pls do make a garden tour video. I'm in Blacktown area (very few frosty days) and just planted Mangoes (4 varieties), Avocados (4 varieties), Lychees (2 varieties), Persimmon Fuyu NA, Loquat Seedling and figs. Avocados are doing pretty good. Hoping for some of mangoes to succeed. One of the Lychees bought from Bunnings is already floweing so fingers crossed!
@@BloggerEngineer I guess I better remove the weeds then. My yard is fairly small. Most of the trees are small. I have a seedling Erdon Lee then came across a marcotted Erdon lee a month ago and got that. My marcotted Red Ball lychee I bought last year is flowering for the first time as well. I still need to set up my hardwood post for the dragon fruit. I also have a tiny Desert King fig and Violet De Bordeaux Fig that I received as cuttings last year. This is the site I found the marcotted Erdon Lee Lychee a month ago, there were 8 available at the time but are sold out at the moment. It's the first Australian site I've seen lemon Zest mango listed for sale, I wish I'd seen it before they were sold out. rosscreektropicals.com.au
Great Tour - wait till it all matures to 5 x that LOL - have to do a short on my Melbourne Black Sapotes i discovered on my Mossman not far away like yours - Sapote is actually a generic term for any fruit in the tropics thats yumm - like to taste a friends Texas Persimmon eventually,
Fascinating. Who would have thunk Sydney’s temperate towards subtropical climate could support such exotic delicacies. You taught me a lot here. Thankyou Al.
Nice tour! You’ve got a beautiful garden. Ive just picked my first black sapote from my tree actually. Also for jackfruit seedlings growing. There’s some videos of a Sydney jackfruit tree and a blog where they fruited them too. I think getting a long enough summer to ripen them is part of the challenge.
Hey thanks so much for watching! I’m glad I found your channel too! It’s hard to get a lot of info on tropical fruit in temperate climates. Very interesting about the jackfruit needing a long summer… probably like a lot of our fruit it needs to overwinter 🤞 congrats on your first black sapote, what a thrill! You can look forward to many more in the future 🤟
Love your garden and fruit trees. After seeing your beautiful tree I'm pondering whether to plant my 2 yo Mamey Sapote this spring. Were the Jackfruit seedlings planted out all winter? Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it George, and thanks for inspiring me to do a garden tour!! I planted the jackfruits in early spring from memory. My experience is they are a bit slow but pretty tough.. barely any yellow leaves over winter.. I rate there hardiness with black sapote over winter. I’ve had scale issues with most of my plants at the end of winter. You know better than me if it’s time to plant the mamey. Mine gets some yellow leaves at the end of winter and some pests but it’s just getting stronger each year. I’m sure you’ll get it growing well in melb once it gets established. It might loose a lot of leaves over winter but it grows them back very fast! Love your vids mate! 👏
Such a beautifully captured video. Loved every sec of it. Informative and crisp.. Even your shirt goes in sync with the logo.. how big is the garden area? It's so productive..
Thank you! You’ve picked up on the vibe perfectly! Love you’re tittle too! I probably have 150 square meters of growing space. The block is 600 but a couple of houses on it. So let’s just say I’m buying more plants than I have room for 😉
If I’m rich I buy myself a gigantic at least 12000 acres build a tropical fruits n plants like they in tropical forest w retreat places to stay 😅 hey when u retire u gotta make money too hihi haven’t figure where yet as I want my kids to be in a good place when it come to their educations n their kids too
Im glad i found your channel I'm from the tropical Caribbean Barbados & don't have the great selection of fruit trees like you
Thank you, I really enjoyed your garden tour. Great to know if and how these plants grow in Sydney.
Your black Sapote tree look very stunning trees🤩
My like a baby 👶

Hi from Brissy! Thanks for the tour! Can't wait to have a yard 😩
No worries< Thanks for watching! Hope you can live vicariously til you get your yard!
What a beautiful garden and here in Sydney. I should'nt have watched this video. Now gotta buy the sapote and jackfruit :)
Ah ha, you have to get a black sapote and jackfruit!! thanks for watching!
B Sapote grows in frosty areas also. We’re growing it successfully in Eastern Victoria. Regular frosts to -4 every Winter.
Love your garden and fruit trees. After seeing your beautiful tree I'm pondering whether to plant my 2 yo Mamey Sapote this spring. Were the Jackfruit seedlings planted out all winter? Thanks for sharing!

What are your lowest temperatures? PS so sorry for your wooden stool.
You need a Cinnamon Apple
( Pouteria hypoglauca).
Closely related to Mamey.
Wow that sounds good! Do you know if it does ok in a bit cooler climate?
@@sapotesaporium5408 I have one in ground in greenhouse and one in the dooryard. They are doing ok so far, moving into year 3.
