@@RichsMangoGarden Rich! We shout you out at the end of the video, around 47:21. I just noticed you changed your channel name. We shouted out your old name. Thanks for watching!
Thank you @RichsMangoGarden and @AJTheGraftMan. I appreciate all the videos you guys make to help beginners like me get into growing tropical fruit trees in SoCal. Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎊🥂
Your videos are amazing i have learnt so much from you, a few months ago i knew nothing about grafting but after watching your videos i have done 8 grafts of hass, fuerte and other indigenous varieties from Kenya where i live and all have successfully taken thanks
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey. Happy New Year 🙏
Aj. meu irmão! Amazing video thank you so much. I was mesmerized by the different varieties of fruits this man cultivates and his passion for rescuing these trees, plus his ingenious method of grafting and watering. Definitely a priceless video. Um grand abraço e um bom ano!
Thank you. The secret to having strong graft is big rootstock and bark graft directly to the trunk. If you graft to a small branch or trunk, it won't have the same vigor as bigger and more established trees. I've seen too many gardeners graft to a small branch while allowing their trees to fruit early can hinder its graft development.
Thank you. I'm just a beginner still learning. I will consolidate alot of trees and variety just to collect the ones me and my family likes especially pomelo, guava, and atemoyas. Non productive or subpar variety won't be the dominant variety in the future. The great thing about grafting is it make it very easy to collect any and all variety if you want to. I'd rather have the ones I enjoy.
Very cool! Before I did fruit trees I did bonsai. I would offer a service to certain people for certain trees to dig up their unwanted trees for free. You can get some amazing old beautiful material that way. It's definitely a cheat code that saves a lot of time. Digging up old mangoes seems like a good risk to take. I would probably keep them under 10-12 ft if I did.
It's definitely a cheat code. Alot of nursery do dig up trees from gardeners for free or discounted price. Gardeners saved money from having someone cut down their trees and clean up. It's a win win. Mango, guava, cherimoya, jujube, citrus are some very easy trees to be transplanted. I'm planning to keep my mango in manageable size.
The fertigation system has two ends adapter: one goes from the water supply to the fertilizer, and another line from fertilizer to hose. Let me know if if you have any other questions I can help with. Should be simple. You can directly connect to your drip line if you want. Here is the fertigation system I used: EZ Flo 2.5 Gallon Hose Link 82ft retractable reel.
those palm roots will grow in all directions and get up into your containers. my neighbor and I decided to get rid a total of 20 queen palms so that we can grow other trees in our yard. I would say also base on my experience and not on any scientific knowledge that the roots of the palm trees are somehow toxic to some fruit trees.
I have bamboo root barrier along the property line. It's 3 feet deep. I had someone dig past the point where we see palm trees roots and double line with root barriers. There are two layers of pavers underneath the 95 gallon container and another layer of bamboo root barrier. That's alot of protection. I've seen plenty of Floridian growing mango next to their palm trees and survive. I just want mine to be established first if those palm roots ever get into the container.
1. Palm trees roots can kill my trees. I used bamboo root barrier and grow 95 gallon with 2 layers paver underneath to prevent it from going in. 2. Some trees are recently transplanted tree and winter is coming. They are moved into the garage where the temp is above 60F. 3. Space is a premium in SoCal. 4. I'm still deciding what tree/variety to put down the ground. Some trees I will get rid of to clean up my garden and collect only the best.
Amazing yard!!! Thanks AJ and Thien!

Dudes a fruit tree genius
Amazing garden 🤩 thanks for sharing 🙌🏾🌱
Just when I thought I’ve seen every fruit, AJ proves me wrong.
Great video as always!
It's a big wide world out there, and we need bread scientists to explore it
Your videos are amazing i have learnt so much from you, a few months ago i knew nothing about grafting but after watching your videos i have done 8 grafts of hass, fuerte and other indigenous varieties from Kenya where i live and all have successfully taken thanks
Glad to help. Congratulations!
Dang nice yard and video. What a cool setup for his watering

Great video AJ!
Thanks for watching!
Super interesting video as always. Thanks!

Great garden! That man loves his trees. I wish my grafts would grow as his 😊
Yes me too!

@@thienDsocal Thank you for tips!
Thanks graft man🎉
He is a true vietnamese fruit tree collector. 😆 i have all the varieties that he has + more! 😂
Nice 🙂

Vietnamese ingenuity never ease to amazed me.. using twigs, discarded pipes as grafting tools.

@thienDsocal 👍🏼👍🏼
What a great way to end the year with another one of your great videos, where's a good place to buy Zion wood?
Thanks! Email me for scions...
What did that guy say when AJ peed on his fruit?
Very cool video, at the start of the video he talks about atemoya that tastes like soursop, any idea what the name is ? Where can one source a scion?
Thanks. I will ask him.
@ I would appreciate, I grow Annona in San Diego , would love to graft that variety, is he on the fruit forum ?
Any chance can you ask Thien how wide he digs and how he soil amends.
I can ask next time I see him.
Is there anyways can you ask Thien to show how to set up the fish fertilizer hook up to the water hose?
I'll ask him next time I visit

Where he get that gaint thai seedless guava at need one of those
I can ask him.
those palm roots will grow in all directions and get up into your containers. my neighbor and I decided to get rid a total of 20 queen palms so that we can grow other trees in our yard. I would say also base on my experience and not on any scientific knowledge that the roots of the palm trees are somehow toxic to some fruit trees.
Thanks for this info. I just planted a tree directly where a big palm used to be. Now I'm concerned. Let's see what happens....
I have bamboo root barrier along the property line. It's 3 feet deep. I had someone dig past the point where we see palm trees roots and double line with root barriers.
There are two layers of pavers underneath the 95 gallon container and another layer of bamboo root barrier. That's alot of protection. I've seen plenty of Floridian growing mango next to their palm trees and survive. I just want mine to be established first if those palm roots ever get into the container.
Is he using airpruning pots in the ground with their bottoms cut off?
In some cases yes
@AJTheGraftMan oh ok thanks 😊
How to save money and time! This is the shortcut to gardening.
Yes indeed!
It was not impolite to pee on his tree?
Not the first time meeting. Gotta ease into that convo 🤣
Which zone are you living in sir.
Zone 10
I've seen you DG soil mix and wanted go know if DG regular will ever compact. Wanted to use your mix in ground for avocado tree, figs and Dragonfruits
It can compact some, but it doesn't seem to affect growth at all
Is his full name Thien Dinh?
I don't know
Why such extensive use of pots ? Badly draining soil? How does he get such amazing big plants in small pots?
A few different reasons. He mentions some in the video. Yes I'm amazed how he does it.
1. Palm trees roots can kill my trees. I used bamboo root barrier and grow 95 gallon with 2 layers paver underneath to prevent it from going in.
2. Some trees are recently transplanted tree and winter is coming. They are moved into the garage where the temp is above 60F.
3. Space is a premium in SoCal.
4. I'm still deciding what tree/variety to put down the ground. Some trees I will get rid of to clean up my garden and collect only the best.
@ Thanks. Astonishing variety
