How we grow apples & are creating generational wealth through fruit farming

- Hey! It's still Friday, we hadn't forgotten!! Mine will be a short message today...#Scam! It has been 31 weeks of sharing a farmer/agripreneur story since patient 001 of Covid in Kenya was identified and a lockdown quickly followed, & through those weeks, we have, without fail, shared an agripreneur story every week!! Our subscriber base grew from 200 to now over 21,000 subscribers! We never saw that coming, but your requests for stories and these numbers have egged us on to travel far, in search of these stories, and we are grateful for your unwavering endorsement that agri stories need to be shared. The pandemic finally pedestaled the farmer as a frontline worker and essential service provider, and as one Dr. Adesina says, with all the minerals we may have, no one eats them, but every day, we need a farmer!
The festive season is here!! btw, if Santa had a wife, would her name be sleigh queen? Ok, that's a sign that we need a break too...we are sharing our last story this year, because we know you will not check out YouTUbe as you tear those ribs apart1 but we'll definitely continue in the next year, with even more stories and features lined up!! a break is well deserved right?.. #TuSiWaSuffocate!
Have you thought of creating generational wealth? well, this is not a scam or pyramid/ multilevel marketing story, but one of a father who has an apple named after him! Ok, if that doesn't excite you, what are you named after, that we must know? Yikes! his story is told by his daughter Catherine, who with her siblings have now taken up the farm, scaled up, and now exporting the famous Wambugu Apple to the world. the most unique characteristic of this apple is that it fruits all year round!!
Ho ho ho.. Happy holidays, stay safe, sanitize, share with the less fortunate, and remember to subscribe to the channel too.. We hit 100K by Dec 2021.. Let's do this!

Wonderful Jesus

Praise the Lord! Tammy from Malaysia🌻
@Welcome's House Yes You are right !

@@thomasnathan7328 Hi Thomas
how are you ?
Really Oliver?
@@mrgrenfell2948 Yes
Iam from somalia 🇸🇴 never seen farmers encouraging other to frm what they farm
They always Hide it!!!
She's so adorable and so willing to share. Thank you beautiful sister!
Most welcome
Very informative and charismatic personality. The future of Africa, I wish you continued success.
thank you
Awesome video... if you guys are growing a lot and trying to make sure that the local market is not saturated with the product it would be wise to also create something from the product that can be shipped to all the other neighboring African countries as well as neighboring areas in your own country. You guys could grow much more and make your own brand of apple juice, apple sauce and apple cider vinegar, apple doughnuts etc... you name it... apple chips even. You can grow the product brand and let everyone know it grown in the country and processed there as well. Good luck with growing your business. As huge as your continent is, the international market with high shipping cost and etc... do not have to be your target market.
thank you
Wow...quite interesting. You can tell that she enjoys what she's doing.
passion about your career choice makes the world of difference.
Your grandfather is a wise man. 👏🏿👏🏿. You carry on the legacy
Give God all the glory
My dream is become a farmer. Thank you so much for sharing this.i didn't know in my country I can grow apples. One day wambu I will meet you. I'm reall touched
Thanku so much
Our lovely Easter African sister greetings from Rwanda . This is so inspiring and I will get in contact with u for more knowledge
Keep the ball rolling
This is really awesome, work well done. Keep it up dear, proud to see a lady doing this.🇰🇪🇰🇪♥️♥️
Am humbled
Interested in your apples.From Cameroon. How can I order apple seedlings.
Hi mam am from south India Pondicherry. What is the temperature need this apple tree?
the apple tree can do well under any weather condition
Are your planting materials grapted? Im so amazed by your plantation, but i want to try to plant even ten trees only for my grandsons to enjoy and only God knows they might be interested in days to come. Thank you very much. Your explanation is so good. You have a big heart to share your knowledge about apple.
God bless your business more & more abundantly. Thank you so much.
you are very welcome
I hope you know that since they require organic from you They better be paying you top dollar because they charge top $ for organic in the stores!
Wow what a dream
I love your passion for the farming, good explanation. wambugu apple
Am very proud to know that you have planted and generating the benefit. I am in Tanzania and would like to know how much you charge for ready siblings and more details on how you can sell and export to us in Mbeya
Co
Thanks for watching contact Catherine via WhatsApp number+254722284176
We have shipped to TZ before so it's possible
Weĺldone ladies. I will one day come to visit you guys. I am in London thinking of going home (Sierra Leone) to create employment for the youth. IJN . Thanks for sharing .God bless you.
come to Ghana pls
How right you are. Apples feed the world while coffee weeds the world of food and drink. Coffee feeds the greed of commerce, while apple creates wealth and enterprise. Well woken Africa. At last!
You can not grow apples in Sierra Leone ( not enough cold
Good day Ms. Catherine, I am interested to plant that kind of apple here in the Philippines, can I order?
How can I get the seedlings and how much?
Keep up the good work..Birds is a small tax of nature.
Would you ship sidlings to the caribbean?
Yes
Hello . As an apple farmer in south Korea, I didn't know apples can be grown and bearing in Kenya. I thought that most farmers of hot weather countries don't wanna farm apples. It's good to know that Kenya can have apple orchards.
Kenya has the highlands, which moderates the Weather on the Equator. Doesn't get too hot, also doesn't get that cold. Eternal Spring from parts of Meru to Nandi hills.
I really love this type of Apple, it bears all year round...
Like the way you explain to us, that it can or should be "a generational business" .... Yes, organic is the way to go...
I would really like few of them in my backyard in Jamaica...
Yuh dunn know !
👊🏾❤💚💛👊🏾
Dont do that !! You will not get apples in Jamaica. Much to hot !!!
@@GerardBoer This particular species grows in hot weather
Is the Wambugu plant, internationally patented!? Criminals are determined to file 'ownership' of nature and cash-in on others hard work.
Good point.
Yes it's is patented
Yes it is the apple Anna from Israel. Special for warm climate.
Thank you for teaching us useful things in our lives
From uganda pearl of Africa
How do I get the plants here in Nigeria
Thank you Cate. Bless you so much. Can it grow in Nigeria. Much interested in doing Apple farm. This is an eye opener.👌💪👍🥰
Wow!! I would like to visit your farm.
Really beautiful fruit, I've never seen apples that shape before. Beautiful clean orchard as well, thanks for all the tips.
A tip to pick apples, never pull or pluck the fruits just twist the fruit and plug tenderly.
I just came across your video and love it. I have subscribed. Just wanted you to know how proud i am of your hard work and drive. Keep it up! Tammy from Malaysia.🌻
This is great...nine months! In the USA it takes three years to bear fruit!
Totally amazing! 💯👌
This is a major eye opener. I always assumed that all 🍏 apples are high altitude crops...
Same here.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I hope soon you'll help me plant some trees in our farm kangaita Nanyuki.🙏
If apple can grow in Kenya why are we getting imported. We must eat our own.
Congratulations Kate! Very inspiring indeed. Thank you for coming and planting the apples in our farm.They doing well. I can't wait for the fruit. It was a blessing to have your dad over!
Very nice but wee need this apple in africa Nigeria is importing apple from E.U and kenya is exporting to E.U all the is have to change . you can export to Nigeria
One Apple a Day takes a doctor away.. I have been organic farmer for years. And I have done apple production, too. Your teaching is practical. I will visit you one day.
Hey brother am from zambia I need more information about apple 🍏🍎🍏 farming thanks
Ooh my. ...tea farmers in Nyeri should do this. ..tea farming is slavery
So wonderful ! This show the importance of land and water
I m so proud of you guys ! Africa will rise again before the soon return of Christ !

👊🏾❤💚💛👊🏾
Fanatics....
It's the religion that has made us remain poor
#Wambugu Apple 🍎👍
Love❤️ From Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh, India.
Hariman Sharma of Himachal Pradesh has also successfully developed low chiillling apple variety ie HRMN 99. He was awarded by Late Shri Pranab Mukherjee president of India.
I want the "Wambugu" apple to be tested on DNA, so I can see it is not the Israel apple variety "Anna" !!
Africa has the ability to be the bread basket of the world. There's a huge market for organic fruits and vegetables in the world and Africa stands a better chance.
wow.can you export the seedlings to Botswana?
I’ve always said agriculture is the key thing and can change the economy of this country. Hope we all follow your families footsteps. Good job my sisters and brothers. One (gala) apple in the USA is about, $1.67lb and some are $2.50lb
And all fruits and veg are gmo.so what are we really eating and drinking.
@@niaralewis1066 not really . Example the most popular apples like Honeycrisp, Red and Golden Delicious, Gala and Fuji are non GMO apples. All old varieties of fruits and vegetables are nonGMOs.
Am a small farmer from a small island in the west Indies named St Lucia. I thought apples only could be grown in cold Countries until I saw video
Even me my Brother
I thought apple only grow in europe
This video is wonderful
@@tchindaikreo they also grow in the U.S. ,Canada and Australia.
Angola grow apple 🍏 when I was small the apple was small yes Africa grow apple 🍏🍎🍎
China is the biggest apple producer of the word.
Hello, Bernard, from Trinidad. It's nice to connect with a kindred spirit.
Apples usually need cold. How do you grow them in hot areas
Our apple variety (wambugu apples ) are suitable to any weather condition and can do well in all types of soil, they also have a very high resistance to pests and disease
@@katewambugu1537 I'd like to get some seedlings from you or seeds
Wow that's one crunchy apple! wasn't the garden of eden in africa?plant,plant,plant.
Thank you GOD BLESS 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Greetings from the Gambia.
How can one gets the seeds from the farmer's family
Her contact is at the top comment
Apples can not grow in Gambia, apple trees need a time of rest ( cold period )
@@GerardBoer I don't ask you,
Is Wambugu Apple going to be available in the U.S.
YES
Amazing, didn't even know we could grow apples in Kenya.
Grows in the highlands. I grew up watching them grow in Kinangop. Even on the other side of the Aberdares (Kangema), they do well.
@@wejohn5877 why are they so expensive in Kenya then?
@@MrMaboboz elephant in the room. Good question
@@MrMaboboz most of the wambugu apple is exported. We then import the low quality from south africa
I did never see this apples in Holland. We have enough good tasting varieties in Holland like the good tasting apple variety "Elstar" !
What an amazing story.
I loved this week's story.
I am very interested in getting a supply of seeds from your variety to try on my farm
This very encouraging. How do I get the seedlings this way in Uganda?
Hang cold area 🍎. Now, Apple kilo is 1 shelling
I don't know why, I like this lady.... She is so natural and interesting.... Good presentation though... Unfortunately we are so many miles apart. I would have love to meet her someday
You are doing wonderful. God is blessing you!! The only thing I want to advise is mulching. Mulching keeps your trees from losing moisture. You can use a lot of things to mulch. Coffee Beans shells, leaves, wood chips, cardboard. Also read up on "air layering" to get more trees from mature tree branches. Doing great Good luck!!!
Am not only amazed, but am curious to learn about the apple growing process. I will contact Catherine.
Same here. I am interested.
I would like to know how the Cosmic Crisp apple would do in Kenya.
Catherine Wambugu well done . What is the climate condition there? and how can one get the seeds
I LOVE PALMOGRANITE,SWEET AND GOOD FOR CANCER,WE VALUE ORGANIC IN WESTERN EUROPE,ILL BE CHECKING YOUR APPLES IN NETHERLANDS
Hi Kate, I am a Zimbabwean currently in Canada. I am interested in starting fruit farming. I am going to Zimbabwe end of October. I would like to buy some wambugu apple seedlings to begin with. Please advise how that can be done. I want to start farming in November after drilling a borehole in my field. Please respond. Thank you.
You put the net you lose both the birds and the bees...not a good idea.
With value addition the possibilities are endless - jams, sauces, pies and all the rest mentioned ACV, wine etc. I can visualize my apple and strawberries farm! Good thing is, in Kenya, everything grows - blessed land.
The fruit is elongated because you need to cross breed apples to get round fruit. You also need to physically spread the branches because apples don’t grow naturally in the tropics
Ja er klopt niets van dit verhaal. Het appelras is het Israelische appel Anna. De onderstammen uit het bos, dat lijkt mij ook bijzonder !
Elaborate further to help us know
Iam impressed, how do we get seedlings here in Uganda.
Wow Catherine you are such an inspiration thank you so much. May The Almighty bless your work and increase it big time!
Thanku so much n I say amen
A very encouraging presentation for real. I like the fact that you recognized the vision and mission of your father, he just did what I thought doing for my kids and their kids to come, I have started planting apples in 2020 and they are doing very well I hope I will be able to harvest in few years to come. Many thanks from Namibia!
Which part of Namibia are you?
this is encouraging..thanks alot
Thank u Wambugu Apple for motivation, greetings from Tanzania
This is everything ❤️❤️❤️
I need this apple to come plant also here in Namibia 🇳🇦
I need these apple transfer to Bangladesh 🇧🇩 I want to cultivate. Because Kenya and Bangladesh are likely same environment to grow foods.
Thank God for you all especially your father
Thanku so much
Do you have ready seedlings for sale?
Great God doing great things.keep it up sister.God bless you.
Very inspiring greetings from Jamaica

We will grow for us all!
Well Done Mr Wambugu and children x
