I really like this new series ! In particular the fact that we see all the progress in a single video. It's far too frustrating to have to wait for updates, which sometimes never arrive... 😅

Hey,Nick I do the same with my haas avocado seeds and they are almost two feet now. I plant several in a big pot to achieve a bushier look since it grows only one stalk each. I doubt that it will grow fruits,but I just like the look of it. I also have a pineapple plant in a pot and now have a very cute pineapple fruit on top.Happy planting to all. From your subbie in Florida.

I grew avocado too. I was researching and saw to make them bushier cut the top part off. It'll branch. I did it with both of mine and it looks like I have 4 shoots sprouting on one of them. The other grows a lot @lower I think I left it in a small pot too long and it got stunted.

A year ago I started 40 jackfruit pits but only half germinated with paper towel method, 6 made if through last hot summer and only one survived the winter in the greenhouse in Western Washington but it's doing okay now. I also got a dozen 1-2 year old avocado trees. I wish I had the room to try other fruit trees.

My mom comes from the state in Mexico where a lot of guavas (white ones) are produced and originate from. The smell of guavas is everywhere. I absolutely love them and I want to give this a go. I didn't know you could just put them in a plastic bag to mimic a mini greenhouse! Thank you! I hope your guavas grow big and healthy :)

They smell so lovely! You can start most seeds with this method, or in a clear tupperware

Hi Nick! This was really interesting seeing the progress from start to the little plants. I hope you'll keep us updated on how they do after you repot them, and I hope you do more of these. Thank you so much for sharing!

I’ve got a trio of avocado trees, a trio of grapefruit trees, and I just started a couple mango trees. I’d love to do passion fruit, but I see them so rarely in the store around here, I am going to have to wait for my opportunity.

I love that! Passion fruits is one of my favorite fruits so I will have to try that as well if the opportunity arises!

Omg, I clicked on this video so fast. My dream is to have several fruit trees and I just started seeding some avocado pits to see if that works out. As a venezuelan I'm super on board with this type of content!!!
@sunflowerhill43492 жыл бұрын
Avocadoes should do well in your climate :) They are big trees though, and they need another tree, from a different type, (there are 3 types that have different flowering / pollination patterns, A, B and C), to fruit :)

One guy I follow does toilet tissue instead of paper towels , he says the tissue is a lot softer and he doesn't have that much of an issue with the roots getting stuck. I honestly hadn't tried it since I germinate mine straight in soil.

Love guava. May give this a shot. Smarter thing to do with the transfer from paper towel to planter is to just grab a pair of scissors and cut the sprouts out with the paper towel. Then just place the strip of sprout/paper towel in the planter with a little soil on top. It makes things so much easier, and, as long as it's just paper based, the towel will break down.

That is definitely a much smarter thing to do lol

Nice one, great to encourage people to grow food in any way! The idea that the fruit you grow won't be any good is actually not necessarily true. You can get better fruit, or worse, or much the same as the parent. Some fruits like nectarines and peaches grow very true to the parent. Others like apples are a lot more variable. The differences come from the fact that seeds are using sexual reproduction instead of vegetative - eg cuttings, which are clones of the mother plant. But then some plants are self fertile while others need cross pollination, some from completely different varieties, so that changes how much variation you'll get in the offspring. But the commonly repeated thing that you won't get decent fruit by growing the seeds you get in fruit you eat is definitely not universally true! I have seed grown peaches and nectarines, a lot, on my place, and all produce absolutely beautiful fruit, a lot of it actually much better, and on a much more fast growing and vigorous tree, than from grafted trees I've bought from nurseries :)

I love the smell of guavas & the taste of guava juice but the fruits are always rock hard & flavorless. I can only find them at a few Walmart (the big ones with the grocery sections) so I guess maybe that’s the problem.
@elladumaplin69222 жыл бұрын
@Jameson. In the Philippines,guava trees are plentiful everywhere. The most common variety is green,then turn yellow when ripe and very sweet.You know it’s ready to eat when it gives with a light squeeze. When it’s over ripe though,it gives a very strong aroma that some cannot tolerate. A young tree is beautiful,with lush green elongated leaves,but turns gangly when it matures and bear fruits.
