Nice range of fruiting trees there. I see them fruiting regularly in London because of the excellent microclimate but its very rare outside London to see the fruit survive our Winters.
@@allthefruit I have discussed this with you before in comments :- 1) our winters are extremely wet and the flower panicles generally rot except in low rainfall, sheltered areas like City Centres and 2) temperatures of -1c to -2c especially on several occasions are enough to kill or seriously damage both the flowers and the small embryo fruit. There are also rarely pollinators around in those conditions. You need the 'perfect storm' to get fruits ie a dry, mild spell that coincides with flowering 🤞
In Freiburg hab ich auch an einer sehr ungeschützt stehenden Wollmispel zig wunderschöne Früchte gesehen 😃 hatte mich erstaunt nach dem Winter. Ist aber auch ein riesiger Baum wie der an der Hauswand im Video.
Planted one in Brittany this year. People have them fruiting on the coast and I'm more inland, so we'll see. Also pushing the limits with keraji mandarin and citrangequat thomasville in the ground against our house this year. Fingers crossed.
Some large specimens in St John's Wood in London. I thought it was a bizarre magnolia species! They were fruiting like crazy, though i didnt tey and now regret it. Ah, theres also a grapefruit tree in a private garden in Westminster that produces fruit - seen it with my own eyes!

Really? I thought the UK winters are much milder than here

Ja, sie scheinen sich am Oberrhein einzubürgern

Good luck
The Loquat trees are loaded here in Cologne
Dont make me come and pick them. All of them? Loaded like buckets full on each tree?

Wow, you will make me come to Britain
4:24 the people on the benches are confused
A normal reaction to me 😂
There's supposedly a variety from Algeria "Piera" that fruits all year round which could be a solution for the frosts.
Thanks. Will try to get it
@@allthefruit Lubera currently sells it so it should be easy for you to order in Germany.
Its a plum, and it's very sour :)
Just wait until they are ripe. And its in the subfamily Maloideae, so no plum
