if you live in northern europe or similar climate and are looking for rare fruits I recommend growing cornelian cherries and Japanese silverberries maybe its my own peculiar taste but those are really tasty and very resilient to boot, especialy against fungus if it tends to rain a lot where you live or if you have long winters you should give it a try

Thank you…. Live further south in a temperate but very rainy climate where fungus is a problem.

If your persimmon is astringent, just let it blet. Basically leave it out at room temperature for a while until it looks brown and mushy, almost like it’s rotten. But if you smell it it’ll be sweet and earthy. It’s kinda like when a banana turns brown. You can spoon it out and eat it like that or you can bake it, make ice cream with it, etc.

The most important thing about Figs, is that they were likely the first thing cultivated by humans for food

As someone with mulberry trees (they were planted by the previous home own not me) mulberry roots can be quite invasive and can cause plumbing issues (by damaging the pipes) so you are better off only planting them in pots unless you want to go weeks without washing your hands or flushing the toilet and pay someone oodles of cash to dig up the ground in order to fix said pipe.

Excellent video! I like these recommendations. Sadly, many fruit trees have become prohibitively expensive. I don’t feel like spending $40 or more on fruit trees, even if the investment is worth it. It’s a lot of money to shell out. I will look at your site. I definitely want to grow figs. Be well.

@kylelibby196 10 ай бұрын

Golden Delicious is one of the best pollinators. I don’t like them that much as the flavor profile is less intense compared to a Honeycrisp or a Zestar, but plan on planting a dwarf one next year to increase the productivity of all my apple trees.

One thing I have learned is that plants developed in a particular biome (ecological zone) will grow in a similar biome elsewhere. I wonder if any Greenlandic gardeners have had success with Russian Seaberry (Hipphophae rhamnoides), Arctic Kiwi (Actinidia arguta), or the Buartnut tree (Juglans xbixbyi). If you can grow potatoes there you might even get certain cold-hardy Oca tubers (Oxalis tuberosa) to grow as an annual as well.

Preferably a height of no more than 8 feet. No blueberry or blackberries, I already have those If you know of something that thrives in those conditions, I would love to hear any suggestions. It’s not easy finding something that meets all those specs. Especially the lack of sunlight.

Many beginner gardeners are initially unaware of how to properly prune an apple tree, and understanding the nuances of pruning a multi-graft tree is often even more challenging. However, I did observe an apple tree with multiple varieties grafted onto it during a visit to my local Home Depot.

Cold hardy generally refers to fruiting plants that can survive in zone 5-8. It is not relative to where you live, it is relative to where a majority of fruiting plants can no longer survive.

@alexmayer9159 5 ай бұрын

Please don't rely solely on pruning when it comes to size of tree. If you want a small tree, buy one that's grafted onto a rootstock that keeps it small. If you buy a fruit tree on a large growing rootstock and try and keep it small purely by pruning you will have very reduced fruiting and a lot more work! Heavy pruning encourages growth, but NOT fruiting!

@PlantFanatics 5 ай бұрын

While pruning does support new vegetative growth, when done properly it also helps push the trees into larger crops of fruit. Just because a plant has the label of dwarf does not mean its stature will be hindered by leaps and bounds. For instance, a dwarf apple tree that is not heavily pruned will still reach heights of 30 feet. Growing standard trees and pruning them at the right time and the right way can be an amazing way to keep trees small, productive, and healthy. A fruit tree that is not fruiting means the trees fruiting wood has been removed, meaning it was pruned improperly.

@alexmayer9159 5 ай бұрын

@@PlantFanatics You CAN keep them in check with pruning, but why make the extra work for yourself? There are rootstocks that will never let a tree reach 30 feet. If you know from the start that you want a small tree, then why make the extra work for yourself to buy one on a large rootstock? And there is no way to HARD prune a vigorous tree that will NOT hinder fruit production. It's just a pointless way to make your gardening harder and less enjoyable.
