I am in Central Texas zone 8b. I think snowmaggedon got to about 5 degrees. I lost an olive and a eucalyptus that was 9 feet tall (was suppose to be a small bush). All the fruit trees survived the cold. The heat is another thing. I lost one apple and one cherry, although it might be to a blight or borers. I am only on 1/3 acre including house and driveway and I have 2 peach, a nectarine, 3 apples, one plum, apricot, pear, mulberry, 3 figs, grapes, elderberries, and almonds. I also have 13 roses, some really big flower beds and a good sized veg garden and 3 raised beds. I am busy and broke, lol. Oh, I forgot I also have 2 lemons and a banana and an aloe vera in the garage, and they refuse to die.
Did you have them all in pots or ground? I'm zone 8b as well Texas and I'm debating if I should plant in ground my fruit trees including a lemon Meyer tree.
I've been trying my hand at gardening and only recently started thinking about fruit trees. I've got to get the yard ready before I go get my self some trees, but I've been worried about what will grow and what won't. Like yall said, the cold in my area isn't to bad in the winter but the heat is. I lost a good bit of my garden this year because it just got too hot for them dispite being in shade during that afternoon heat. What do yall recommend starting with and how can I keep my trees safe from the heat/cold?
I love this video. It's very informative and SO inspiring!! You made me feel like I *can* do this! Also, I LOVE that you're gardening and planting in sandals! LOL! I hate wearing shoes and am GLAD to see someone else garden the same way! Happy gardening! 💚
Here in mexia texas. My family grows love oaks and pine trees and we have them by the thousand. I’m the next generation and i am fixing to start with fruit trees. Thank you for the tips.
@Centex Hi there. I’ll be moving to Hubbard which is close to you next year. What fruit trees have you or plan on going with? My folks are there now and have had success with peach, plum and banana.
@@blacrodfly1901 well you can technically grow about anything here, it’s just all about the strain. Like for apples they can grow Granny Smith, or golden delicious. For Hubbard look up “best fruit strains for climate zone 8a”. Anytime you’re in a new location in life, look up “the city, climate zone” and find out what you can grow!.
@3rd_coast_grower462 Hey buddy, it's your neighbor here from Mart TX. Do you guys have any juvenile eastern red cedars? I'm also working on some fruit trees, Avocado, Apple, Peachtree, Lemon, Oranges
Very informative thanks! I have lots of experience with growing veggies but not so much with fruits. I eat a lot of fruit and am sick of buying so much unripe fruit. Very inspiring thanks!!!
Thank you so much, God Bless you and I visited your town with my family we went to Jacob's well. That was great and the town you live in is beautiful with all the 👢 boots 😊
I really enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the tips. I loved the photo at the end of the video. I believe it's Carmen Miranda Brazilian singer, right? You got one more Subscribe and thanks again!
You know what I'm a Ole skool wanna be a cool kid if you know what I mean but I always learn from and respect my elders no mater what color we are all human and need tips for life ❤
I'm in Devine, south central Texas, z9a. I have several persimmons. One came back up from the root. One is about 4 years old but hasn't fruited. But this year I had not fruit on any if my 30 trees because of the drought. I have about 10 trees (1 persimmon) and several bushes around my duck pool that are in dappled shade and are doing well (but still no fruit this year!) because of bottom watering. I have root knot nematodes in my soil so I may keep the one in a big pot by the pool. It's tough to grow any trees here, you must plant in fall, no later than the end of January, to allow sufficient root growth. I also let my in-ground trees sit around the pool an extra year before planting out. Trial and error wherever you live! My area is somewhat comparable to the Mediterranean with desert mixed in. Keep fertilizing 3x a year, too. When you plant get raw fish from dollar tree and put in the bottom, cover with soil or some stinky stuff if you have dogs. HEAVY mulch, hich depends on where you live. I use pieces of cardboard under coastal hay, woodchips, wherever I can get. I haven't tried American persimmons, but I will this fall to hedge my Oriental non-natives. Good luck!
