Thanks. There’s something about mango fruits hanging from mango trees in unsuspecting climate and location. Almost like a glitch in the Matrix.

I agree. I almost wanted to add in the video another reason for its removal was due to the fact that they germinate extremely easily. Down the road, I may regrow another one again.

You’re very welcome. Small tips and recommendations, but every technique helps with their survival.

Thank you. I’m mimicking nature, where all trees are grown by “chance”, even ones growing right next to one another.

@@TropicalCentralValley syntropic agroforestry does something similar, over planting and let nature ( natural selection) decide or later you remove the weak or the ones not tasting good or producing.

Very nice. Off course, in addition to nature, my role is ensuring the trees are protected by the development of a microclimate system.

Thank you.

Not sure what 510 means, but thank you?

Luckily this past winter was fairly mild. That and also the added microclimate provided by the maturing trees, particularly the Inga, bamboo and Jamun in the backyard.

@@TropicalCentralValley I'm constantly evaluating my yard tying to figure out how to improve the summer shade while also retaining the winter sun and providing some frost protection. Deciduous trees are super helpful, but more winter sun means less frost protection once the leaves are gone so there is no perfect solution. Love seeing your yard develop. Thanks for sharing.

You’re very welcome.

I may make one in the future, but I do briefly touched on my setup in previous videos.

I’m not sure about nearby, but if you’re nearing the Los Angeles region, there’s actually a good number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the area. Here’s some videos I did touring some of them: Champa Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZdddMeYzJuoe4U.html Emily Garden Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndRhfaea35PWmXU.html Mimosa Nursery - Spring 2022 Tour kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8x_gLKE2NureaM.html

Everglades nursery out of Florida is online or possibly even Etsy.

My primary concerns with online nurseries is the fact that you don’t get to visually inspect the tree. In order to give the tree the best chance at surviving the Central Valley’s climate you’ll want to pick the best tree in the lot.

Your watering will depend on your soil and your weather. If you have super, well draining soil, I’d water it every hour for a few minutes during the the day time in hot weather. Here’s a video that touches on this topic: How to Water Your Tropical Fruit Trees ( DO NOT DEEP WATER ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLOGlNaVsNuWdZc.html

I do. I’ve not been using worm casting as dressing for several years now, and instead rely on the existing (free) worms in my years. I use fish and kelp/seaweed fertilizer sometimes as a liquid fertilizer for my container grown trees, as well as foliar feeding. They’re great for short term feeding.

Every once in a while, your local Lowe’s and Home Depot may carry them in the summer months, if not, and if you’re nearing the Los Angeles region, there’s actually a good number of tropical fruit tree nurseries in the area.

Yes, and lots of fruits to share.

@@TropicalCentralValley Fruit "theft" from private property is a big problem in many parts of Florida. It can get pretty ugly. There are even incidents of people hopping fences and stealing the entire fruit tree in containers.

I can’t say I have had any issues. It helps too that I live in a newer subdivision, and is somewhat away from major intersections. That said, if they’re able to lift the 150lb containers, my neighbors will likely witness the incident. It helps too that I work from home.

Still have them. Surprisingly, they’re doing great. Practically no frost damage.

@@TropicalCentralValley That's great to hear. I was curious because you haven't mentioned your jackfruit trees in a while.

There’s not much action with the jackfruits at the moment. Having said that, they’ll be awesome once they start having massive fruits hanging from the tree.

Thanks. The growing of tropical fruit trees is a hobby that also feeds me. No side business, the videos I made acts as a recipe for anyone wanting to grow tropical fruit trees in similar climate.

@@TropicalCentralValley right on! I love your setup, where would you recommend getting a mango and lychee tree from?

You should consider selling them on the side, you could make a nice little side gig...

Once financial incentives are involved, it is no longer a hobby. The fun and carefree nature is gone.
