🙋♀️ waving from 9B in Central California! What further complicates it is apparently many gardeners don't understand that the zones are related to low temperatures and freezes, not what your summer growing season is like. 9B is across the country and I assure you summer is different where I am, the extreme heat of Arizona and the humid heat of Florida. There's another KZfaq garden channel at the other end of the valley I'm in. His climate gets a marine influence from the Pacific and is easier on plants vs my area being influenced by Hades.

It's certainly easier. It's the closest to set-it-and-forget-it, at least with deciduous trees. If you're in South Florida planting tropicals, that may be different because you'd actually want to plant them during the rainy season, but for temperate zones, I think Fall mostly rules.

@TheMillennialGardener11 ай бұрын
This makes me nervous, because pawpaw trees do not fruit well grown in shade. They need full sun to fruit optimally. If you have 10 trees, it may not matter if production is lower, but full sun grown pawpaws make considerably more fruit. Some folks try to get around the shade cloth thing by planting in shade, but it bites them years later with low fruit production. Hopefully the canopies are not dense and it lets a lot of light through and the trees still get 6 hours of unfiltered light. You may need to thin the canopies if they don't fruit well.

Blackberries are at the top of my list! I've watched your Prime Ark Freedom video multiple times and will watch it again. I wish I could source a 2- or 3-in one citrus tree - a Meyer lemon, lime and kumquat combo would be awesome. The only place I've seen that sells those is in Australia and they don't ship to the US. It's awesome and inspiring that you grafted your own! #goals I've also been considering mulberries but I've never actually tasted those (nor Kumquats, for that matter) and I'm hesitant to invest all the time in a tree where I might not like the fruit.

That will depend where you're located and what you need. It's true that most nurseries stock the most varieties in spring.

HI. Thanks for another great video! For persimmon, I am pretty sure that having two trees will not help you much in terms of fruit set unless your second tree is a male - persimmons are generally dioecious. They are also usually parthenocarpic (females will set seedless fruits even without being pollinated), so when you purchase a named cultivar (either american or asian), you are being given a known female and should get fruits even with just one tree. Please correct if I'm wrong, but I think this is the case.
@georgegreek83411 ай бұрын
Just because you can trick the fruit tree into making fruit earlier doesn’t mean that you should. Producing fruit is extremely taxing on a tree. Especially if it’s not properly established. The tree will make fruit when it’s root systems can handle the load of making them. You shouldn’t rush the process by tricking it’s seasons. Add organic fertilizers and let the plant do its thing.

It's probably because I'm an engineer, so my brain is wired very differently. I'm obsessed with context, because everything I've done in the last ~20 years of my life has been purely situational. I'm of the mind that information is completely useless without context, and I refuse to give any information on "how" to do something without outlining the conditions first. I approach everything as a engineering report 🤓

This advice is good for all trees and shrubs.... except evergreens.

Fig trees have to be covered in the northern climates during the winter (I'm in 6b). Most people wrap them up in burlap or moving blankets and then throw some plastic or a tarp over while leaving some space at the top for moisture to escape. I even throw pipe warmers inside to add a little extra heat. I've heard of others burying them. Either way, they need to be kept relatively warm in the winter, having a hardy variety (like Chicago Hardy) also helps.

I wrapped my fig tree up haphazardly with White garden mesh, I think a black trash bag, and threw a kitty pool on top and wished it luck. I'm growing it in a huge pot in the front yard and it survived! It put on a lot of figs this year. I think it's an Olympia.

I am in Charlotte so my season is the same as yours. I prefer to work from seeds. Can you get chill hours with seeds in a cup outside over the winter months? I may also be looking for videos on growing from seeds, but don’t hear much about when to start the chill ,or when to plant the new growth to the garden, time of year.

Nice tips on the fruit trees, especially that variety of hybrid persimmon, hadn't heard of it. Appreciated. The info about figs is a bit off, though. The reason they are deciduous and semi-hardy in places with freezing winters isn't because they are from the Med region. They're actually native to the Caucasus region and that explains their frost-hardiness but lack of severe cold hardiness, and also why they are deciduous. Unlike the Med region, that region gets regular hard frosts in winter, but not severe cold. Most native broadleaf true Med trees are actually evergreen: cork and holm oaks, olive trees, and others. They deal with light frosts (if any), but not extended hard frosts. Also, I wouldn't call the Med region "high latitude", it's really in the lower half of "mid latitude", about 45 N at the highest to about 35 N or a bit further south: closer (some parts, a lot) to the equator than the north pole.

Paw paw fruit is best after a frost.

Here where I live, we don't get frost until November. Pawpaw's mostly ripen in September, so it wouldn't be possible in many climates.

I am a container gardener. I have a one year old Crisp Apple tree in a 3 gallon container. If I plant it in a 20 gallon tub since this is where I want to grow it can it survive the winter. I live in New Mexico.

Hey, I love your video series! My wife and I live in coastal NC (same town!) and we're interested in expanding the number and kinds of fruit trees in our backyard. We currently have two figs and two plums that have survived for about a year and we have 3 blueberry bushes that we've had forever. My question is how much space should we give individual fruit trees? If we were to add peaches and pears to the mix, how much space should we allow between all the trees?

If you go to the websites of the fruit tree suppliers/growers they will tell you what is best for each variety they sell. It varies greatly, no one spacing suits all. You're dealing with two things. How much space the roots need as well as size of the crown. Pay close attention to the height and spread of the crown. If you are planting close, at minimum suggested distances a tall vigorous grower will shade out a smaller less aggressive tree. If you can maintain an aggressive pruning program you might be OK for a few years. Last year I lost my Blenheim apricot to my neighbors persimmon. They only ever pruned the lower limbs, so it could be walked under. It was coming over the fence too and I can only do so much. My partner wasn't much help. The apricot was putting most of it's effort going sideways to the light. I finally convinced him to help me prune back the persimmon. Ironically, got up that morning and the apricot had fallen over, uprooting it's self and a tree service was removing the persimmon. 😢 So your trees need plenty of light and air circulation.

What fruit trees can grow good in San Antonio Texas zone 9 ? We have been extremly Hot, over 100 for more than 90 days, and last year we had a hard freeze for over a week of 25 degree weather. What can I do to make sure my trees dont die in the freeze. All of my avacado trees and lime trees died...

Would planting black current bushes in zone 8a/b be good in the fall too? Thank you for your education!
@TheMillennialGardener11 ай бұрын
While I am not growing them, since they're about as hardy as a blueberry, I would say yes.

@@TheMillennialGardener thank you! I have them in pots, they haven't been fruiting yet, too young. I am in Arizona and learning from you a ton. With some impressive results in the garden to show on year 3. Love your tips about natural fertilizers and bone meal.
