Really enjoyed the video, please keep them coming! Great production value. We recently planted two greening-tolerant citrus varieties at our property in Citrus County - UF SunLime and the Sugar Belle Tangelo. We got them from Brite Leaf in Lake Panasoffkee, who really seem to know their stuff when it comes to citrus. So we are hoping for the best. But generally we totally agree - it is much better for your stress levels if you just plant things that don't need a lot of pampering. Mulberries come to mind - we just love how pest free and vigorous they have been.
Thank you so much my friend! That's wonderful to hear. I am glad you found a good source for healthy rootstock. Hopefully UF can come up with some truly resistant varieties soon. Our mulberries have just exploded with fruit this year! If I had the space I would plant more. lol Thank you for watching and good luck with you baby citrus trees! Keep us posted. : )
Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely suggestions! The only one I haven't grown in a while is amaranth. I will need to put that one back on the list. They have really interesting and beautiful flowers.
Collard greens, cuban oregeno, sisso spinach, longevity spinach, surinam spinach are good perineal vegetables in central Florida zone 10a. Also turmeric, ginger, galingal, and cardamom. For small fruits, I like pitangatuba, pineapples, and jaboticabas, peanutbutter fruit, and lemondrop mangosteen. I love my potted limequat tree, which is delicious and productive, but Ive shared your sad experiences with citrus trees. I just planted a whole pod worth of cacao seeds, 25 or 30 seeds. A lot of those plants can get a lot bigger, but they do well between the big fruit trees, some do well in containers, and most can be kept small and fruitful through frequent pruning.
Great minds think alike! We have all of the plants you mentioned. Lol My lemondrop mangosteen is taking her sweet time putting roots down, but we're patient. I've heard that cacao is finicky to grow in Florida, but that may be a fun experiment. I am also going to pick up a Pitomba. I've heard those can be shrubby in nature. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful suggestions! Citrus is complicated these days. I am glad to hear yours are producing well! : )
