This is the first video I have found that clearly shows the difference between inside and outside a protection barrier during California's windy days. Thank you for taking the time to make this video through extreme wind.
Glad you survived the wind,we got hit to. Messy clean up. Several lost power. We did good all mango trees and star fruit uner cover. Fuyus looking good.🇺🇸🇺🇸😮😮☃️☃️😁😁
Totally. Although I briefly mentioned it, air flow/ventilation is a must as the air in the greenhouse can become stale and becomes favorable for the growing of fungus and other microscopic pest issues.
That wind is no joke! I feel like wind chill would just be the nail in the coffin for more sensitive plants too. Those greenhouse structures look great! I’ll send my mom this one so she has some more nice options for temp greenhouses!
Totally. These DIY temporary greenhouses can be built for cheap, and the construction material is completely reusable. I’ve been reusing mine for the past 4 years.
@ 4 years?! Nice! Don’t think I’ve gotten plastic to last more than a couple years due to animal damage. My trees are still between 1 inch and 2 feet tall, so I’ll use the main greenhouse and indoor growing for now, but I may try to see if I can do some temp greenhouse for older trees mine are all around a year old or less from seed, so I may have a couple years of experimenting with fertilizer and such to see what gets the best growth results. Then they should be big enough….hopefully… though I may still baby things like the variegated lychees. They may stay sun room plants.
@@TropicalCentralValley indeed. I’m hoping things work out despite our occasionally crazy weather, but thanks to your videos, I have a starting point. I’d call it zone pushing, but for me, it may be straight up zone breaking. Hahaha!
Awesome video, I definitely agree that although a climate controlled greenhouse isn't always possible especially for the larger trees it's very useful if we can have some kind of wind breaker or unheated greenhouse structure as I've also noticed that wind/cold combo is what does the most harm to evergreen/tropical trees. I was also just setting up a greenhouse tunnel this morning/afternoon for some of my tropicals when I saw the dust picking up and next thing I knew I got caught in what felt like a hurricane, had to make a run for it and put a bunch of stuff away and called it a day.
In our area, they call those haboobs and are common in summer during the monsoons. Sadly, the storms don't bring rain and just cover everything in dirt, like my pool. Thanks for sharing your protection strategies. I was going to leave my mangos alone this year for the most part because they are 2 years old and fully lignified, but now I'm wondering if they'll be okay after seeing your setup. Are you leaving your mangos to fend for themselves this year or covering them?
Yeah, this was our first dust storm, my first anyway. For my mango trees older than 2 years in the ground, I will not be protecting them, and instead, will rely on the nearby microclimate. I do have some 1 foot tall mango trees recently planted just a few months ago. Those, I may cover them using a 5 gallon bucket during frosty days.
Wow.... the best microclimate house in California. I'm very jelly of you can grow such a beautiful tropical forest in California state. I like your outlet for your green house. My asian apple pair tree turns black with no leaf, does it mean it is dead?
Did you go to UCSB? Interesting timing - we just got back from there today for a mini vacation. Davis grad here but gosh, SB is so beautiful.. what a great place to go to school. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy watching them and make my wife watch them too lol. Keep it up 😊
In the winter months, I actually do not water my trees. I find that the rain is enough to keep them hydrated. That said, I do water my container trees, ensuring the top inch is moist to the touch.
Great Video! What is the make & model of that heater system in your seedling greenhouse & how do you get it to come on below a certain temperature (50)? Thank You!
As the temperature cools down, I’ve been water them 3 times per day, for 4 minutes per session. As we get the rain constantly, then that’s when I stop the watering process.
@ the best use of taxpayer dollars I seen if you ask me oh by the way I found your other channel and asked my wife to translate so I didn’t need to read the subtitles 🤣

You’re very welcome.
Nice job showing us your protection strategies. Using that dryer vent as a heat source 🤣😂.
Ghetto ingenuity 👍
Anything helps and in my case, it’s passive heat, requiring nothing extra from me.

Yeah, I can’t say I’ve seen these dust storms before, but it was interesting, the night and day contrast. You can see the wall of dust approaching.
Your very creative on your tropical fruit tree forest
Definitely. Growing them in my climate requires unconventional methods.
Like the plastic wrap idea for my potted plants!
Totally, and they’re cheap and reusable.
It looks much calmer under the canopy.
Totally.

@ airflow definitely essential!

That’s awesome. It’s all about trial and error and seeing what works for us.

Yeah, many of the trees thriving in my yard “shouldn’t” grow, but yet, here they are.
In 2 days my Imoto persimmon tree's leaves turned from all green to 50% orange . A beautiful orange at that 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 in zone 10b Cerritos
Nice. Many of the deciduous trees in my neighborhood are changing colors and falling off.

Totally. I knew today was likely going to rain, but the dust storm caught me off guard.

Specific to your Asian pear, try scratching the bark to see if there’s any green underneath. If so, it has life.

Not me, but my daughter. We receive nothing but UCSB merch for Christmas from her.
Come to Florida we get lots of those alerts lol
Yeah, I don’t know how some of your trees do it there, giving the sandy loam soil.
Yesterday was the windiest day in california
Totally. Driving around my neighborhood, I’m seeing many uprooted trees and fallen branches.
How much watering are you doing to prevent your tropicals from drying out during the winter?
In the winter months, I actually do not water my trees. I find that the rain is enough to keep them hydrated.

Bio Green’s Palma greenhouse heater:
a.co/d/eBC6X7R
The temperature is set on the accompanying thermostat.
How is your watering ?? I still water mine every morning. Is it good?
As the temperature cools down, I’ve been water them 3 times per day, for 4 minutes per session.
As we get the rain constantly, then that’s when I stop the watering process.
Where are you and your growing zone ?
Is that a guamuchil at 9:27
Yes, also commonly known as a Manila Tamarind.
😂 1:50
As a fellow tax payer, I feel most won’t object.
@ the best use of taxpayer dollars I seen if you ask me oh by the way I found your other channel and asked my wife to translate so I didn’t need to read the subtitles 🤣
Thank you.
Yeah, my other channel was for a very targeted audience. I wanted to show everyone, including those with English language challenges.
