If you're censoring stuff, then your license plate should be the first. Lol

I love how my choice to censor certain items do not convey my desired message. Not everyone will understand.

You’re very welcome. As this winter is very likely to be an El Niño year, this should give the tropicals a break.

Love the content and your dense yard. I’m also in California Zone 9b - had no idea tropicals could thrive in the area. You’re an inspiration!

Totally. Due to the tiny fence I have being used as a trellis, I’m going to have to keep the vines confined, but still fruitful.

Great video! I’m from Visalia also. Can you talk about the tropical plants you’re growing. Especially more info on growing elephant plants, yours look great. ☺️

Definitely, mines actually a bit neglected. They get left over water and fertilizer from nearby trees. I originally got the roots from R-N Market (meant for consumption), and it grew. From there, I simply propagated the different rhizomes.

Your tropicals are doing well! I am surprised your Papayas survive at such low temperatures. Here in Melbourne Australia, Papayas dont survive in winter as it gets to Zero Degrees Celcius at night in winter.
@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
Thank you. The papaya tree does get frost damage from year to year, though the tree has always managed to grow new branches as the temperature increases.

What variety are those big Thai guavas in front yard the big round ones you are holding with your hand? I want a tree like that

It’s simply named “Thai guava”. From what I gathered, there’s only one Thai variety.

@TropicalCentralValley3 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, I do not sell any of my tropical fruit trees, including fruits, seeds, cuttings, etc. 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

The nearest tropical fruit tree nurseries are in the Los Angeles region. It’s well worth the day trip.

I live in Oakland . My mango always rots in winter but I always save it it spring by pruning it. It always grows in fall . My papaya rotted. Mysourrsop died too.
@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
Root rotting is typically caused by the lack of oxygen to the tree’s root system and is generally fatal if not treated. Based on your pruning practice on the mango, and it bouncing back, it sounds like simple branch damage. The best thing we can do against root rot is to ensure the soil is well draining as well as some of the items to be performed as discussed in my previous video.
@BManStan19919 ай бұрын
It's the long cold winter temps and wet soil. Mangos and most tropicals need dry soil in winter if your area gets below freezing or close to it. Also, try planting near walls or under tree canopy to protect from frost. If you protect from frost and keep the soil dry in winter you should be able to succeed.
@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
Well said. This is the primary reason I advise folks to cut down, or eliminate their watering and instead, rely on the rain.
@user-su5du9ln8r8 ай бұрын
Interesting. Is your mango tree in the ground or in a container? Here in south Florida, we actually saturate our containers with water right before an inbound frost/freeze to protect our fruit trees.
@BManStan19918 ай бұрын
@user-su5du9ln8r I have lived in both California and Florida. The main reason saturating the ground with water works so well in florida is the freezes are short lived and usually the temps increase rapidly. Whereas California, especially the bay area, can experience low temps in the 30s to 50s for weeks at a time sometimes. Whereas in Florida the temp will drop to 29F at 6am, and be 60F by noon. The rapid heating makes a big difference. So in short, you don't want your trees roots too wet in winter, but you especially don't want them too wet if it's going to stay cold (below 50) for many days or weeks. If it's just a short freeze like Florida gets, and then it warms up after, then watering the trees 12 hrs before the freeze can in fact help the tree. Basically, prolonged cold (below 50) + prolonged wetness can = root rot.

It seems like your pineapple guava has yet to fruit? Is it a seedling? Thanks!
@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
No fruits yet, but lots of flowers in previous years. I suspect the tree just isn’t ready. I’m actually not sure, but do not suspect it was a grafted tree.

@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
Nice. The trunk of the pineapple guava tree needs to be a certain size before it’ll set fruits. Until then, I’ve been happy eating the flower petals.

@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
Luckily it hasn’t gone down to -8°C (17°F) yet. Historically, my lows have been around -3°C, sustaining for many days. The papaya tree does suffer damage, however, as the world’s fastest growing tree, mine has always managed to bounce back when the temperature warms up in spring.

@TropicalCentralValley9 ай бұрын
I can understand the soursop, but almost all tropicals should be able to withstand the 45°F cold. Keep in mind, 45°F is USDA Zone 11. We get the annual Tule Fog that rolls into the Central Valley, and yes, it doesn’t help.
