Tropical Central Valley, This is so fun! I'm happy I found your channel!

Thank you. In the grand scheme of things, this is just the very beginning as my tropical fruit trees produce fruits, some for the very first time.

This year on my bananas I cut off all the leaves and just left the bunch to ripen on the stem. When they got to the point where yours is at. I cut the stem halfway. Just enough to where it tipped over to where we could reach them all and snack-on-demand. It worked beautifully. Keep that pawpaw in the shade. Let him reach for the sun at his own pace. If you can grow citrus and white sapote you might be able to grow wampee successfully.
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the tip. Concerning the growing of wampee, having been able to grow mangosteen, durian and rambutan, I do not expect it to be a challenge. The trick is trying to obtain the fresh fruits/trees.

I love watching your Channel. Your gardens are looking amazing. Can I grow mango and longan trees in Menteca, California. Thanks..
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Thank you. Absolutely, Manteca is virtually identical to my area in terms of climate. For mango trees, I recommend the Manila variety as they are quite forgiving in our climate. As for longan, all varieties seem to do fairly well, but the Kohala variety is probably going to perform the best.

Thank you. As a principal, I do not sell any of my tropical fruit trees. It may be worth days trip to visit some of the numerous tropical fruit tree nurseries in the Los Angeles region.

@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Yeah, luckily this past winter was fairly mild. I’ll definitely do a more in depth video covering the topic of my irrigation system. With tropical fruit trees, you’ll want to mimic their natural rain climate, and the best method would be to automate the watering cycle.

What are those beautiful pink flowers all over your front yard?
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Crown-of-thorns. They thrive in the Central Valley’s dry heat. Makes a great living barrier due to the spiky branches. They’re also quite attractive as well as extremely easy to propagate from cuttings. In fact, the majority of the crown-of-thorns you see were from a few original plants.

Wow, your manilla mango looks really healthy. I'm going into my second year with mine palm springs, ca. So far its doing okay but it doesn't look like yours. Do you have an issue with gophers? I've never heard of then until recently.
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Yeah, Manila mango, also known as the Carabao mango, native to the Philippines. It’s actually the world’s sweetest mango variety. They are very forgiving. Mine in the very beginning looked pretty bad after each winter, but eventually found their footing and now shows minor frost damage, but nothing too drastic. Fortunately, I do not have any gopher problems. Having said that, I’m told plain old bubble gum takes care of them as their digestive system cannot pass the gum through.
@bigg3684 ай бұрын
@TropicalCentralValley well thank you for the information. I'll remember to have bubble gum on hand if I eventually get them. I've heard they are attracted to mulch so I'm very afraid to put mulch down.
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
I’m not aware of any pests taking a liking to mulch. The mulch attracts all sorts of beneficial insects and worms which all helps to benefit the tropical fruit trees.

What was the tall backyard cherry you said was so fast growing? And what was the red foliage tree in the front yard? Malaysian guava?
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
Capulin Cherry. Although not mentioned, but shown in the video, the guava tree nearest my driveway is a Thai, followed by a Red Malaysian and the large one is the Ruby Supreme. Both the Thai and Ruby Supreme were red due to cold stress, otherwise their foliage is deep green.

When clipping mango flower bracts, do you wait until they’ve pushed out to full length? Or clip as soon as the bottom few flowers have developed?
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
I would wait until the entire bloom is set prior to removing 90% of the flower. Wait about a month then remove the remaining 10%. Here’s a video that touches on this topic towards the end: Spring Time Preparations for Tropical Fruit Trees kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jK-bZ6SVz6eWXWw.html

@@TropicalCentralValley Nice! Seems like the first thing all my grafted mangoes want to do directly after winter is set off all the blooms they possibly can. Not good, as they are quite small mangoes. Just exploring how to promote the growth of foliage instead of blooms on these little guys.
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
This is normal behavior with mango. Due to the cooler temperatures, this promotes blooming. I’d remove the flowers unless you’re confident the trees have enough energy to fruit and make it through future winters and summers.

Which Inga do you prefer? Vera, or Edulis? Do they need any sun protection if you plant a seedling?
@TropicalCentralValley3 ай бұрын
From a taste perspective, having only tried the Inga Edulis fruits, and from what I’m told, they all tastes very similar. It’s like preferring a Fuji to a Red Delicious. All varieties seem to be able to handle the Central Valley’s summer sun without issues, even from seeds.

Thinking about getting a Kohala longan for my tiny yard. Can I keep it prune and small?

They’re one of the slower growing longans. With longan trees, you don’t really prune it, due to its growth rate.

It depends on the variety. If Mamey, it’ll need heavy cold protection. Most other spaote, including white, black, sapodilla all grow fine, though when young they may need some shade protection in the summer days.

How long do you find you have to keep the supports on the mangoes before they harden up enough to support themselves?
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
It really depends on the variety, and also how they were germinated or grafted. Mango trees grown from seeds naturally do not need structural support (most of the time), however, grafted varieties such as Coconut Cream need basically lifetime support. The majority of my more mature grafted mango trees are still supported as I’m trying to get them to grow tall rather than bushy, in preparation for the summer sun.

Do you also grow miracle berry tree? Do you keep it in the shade. I have had mine for a year and the leaves look pale and some burnt because last summer was so hot in vegas. During winter, i put it in the garage. Any advice?
@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
I do. Mine is in the ground, and heavily shaded by my Ice Cream Bean tree. It’s not a fan of my summer sun either. They require a higher level of humidity than your climate and my climate can provide. In my case, I try my best to provide it with the microclimate necessary and so far, it’s looking great. Mine fruits every year.
