DELICIOUS & UNDERRATED Fruit in The Citrus Family

Күн бұрын

White Sapote (Casimiroa edulis) is a Florida Delicacy. The fruit is like a custard and loaded with sweetness! White Sapote trees are surprisingly cold hardy here in Florida and are related to Citrus; in the Rutaceae Family. We feel that this tree is under-utilized and definitely deserves a spot in your garden!

I love learning about new fruit varieties from your videos. 👍 I had a question, what machine do you use to make your plant labels? It can be difficult to remember the names as I grow my fruit forest. I usually just use sharpie on white labels but they always fade out in the sun, so wanted to be able to print something like the labels you use, THANKS

@youtuudodo 4 жыл бұрын

One option is to use soda can and cut it up and use as tag. Be careful it can be sharp,so sand the edges down. It will be a permanent indentation as you write.

you could try out cherimoya. its cold hardy to 8 and i bet it could be pushed down to 7 even. they naturally like to grow in colder areas in the tropics in mountains where it freezes in winter. they don't do as well in the tropical lowlands.

Tulle. Buy bolts for cheap on eBay. Wrap the base of the trees to keep them from climbing. Wrap the individual fruit if they're tree hopping.

@erikjohnson9223 4 жыл бұрын

No sane person in the Southern USA should intentionally plant kudzu, but foraging it or feeding it to goats (& eating the goats) should help with control. Green Deane's "Eat the Weeds" channel is good, though he is longer on identification than recipes. Check it out. (Or learn Japanese, and see how it is eaten where native?)

Hello! We sell plants by appointment from our farm. Unfortunately with the citrus greening there isn’t any that’s easy to grow. They all pretty much require nasty chemicals to survive here. I always tell people to buy from Home Depot or Lowe’s if they want citrus, save your receipt because it is returnable within two years.

Hello Pete, hope all is well in the North Region, super hot here in Lee county. Just watched the Norman ‘Toppy’ Feil video. Wondering if he is or has written a book with all of his knowledge in it? I was thinking if he could not write it, he certainly could dictate his knowledge to someone else and get a book published. He is old enough to be FlyingfoxFruits owner’s GreatGranddad! that’s a lot of knowledge.

@erikjohnson9223 4 жыл бұрын

Different plant families. It seems that the Mexica (Aztec/Nahuatl) called just about every large, sweet fruit other than cacti by some variation of "zapotl." Similarly, the Romans named virtually every large fruit after apples (pomegranates were "apples of Carthage," peaches "apples of Persia," and apricots "Armenian apples.". (They were wrong on some of that geography, naming things after where they first found them, not where the plants were originally native).
