@@Asian_garden_hub thank you 😊 I bought one of my trees from an Italian company in Harrow, called Seedsofitaly…I’m not sure if their still selling them. The second tree was bought from an Italian nursery in Italy. I’ve had them for 5-6 years

@@Asian_garden_hub 🤗it can be done 💚🌱

@@Nothingfailz it hasn’t fruited yet😊

@@colito69 excellent to hear that you’ve grafted scions from tree number 3 😀 I have also done some grafting which have successful. Wish you all the best with flowering and fruiting for you 🙌🏾🌱🥑

@@thavylor thank you ☺️ My Allegheny and Susquehanna are only a few feet apart 😀🌱

@@joestropicals6760 What is a few feet? Is it 2, or 3, or 4, or 5. I do wish to know so I can plant my tiny sticks pawpaw. Right now, they are so small that even 2 feet apart seems right. I know they will be crowded when they grow to about your pawpaw trees size.

@@thavylor at least 3 feet from each other. It will help in cross pollination

@@joestropicals6760 Thank you. So, if I plant 5 to 6 feet apart, it won't bee too close, right? I saw some says 8 to 10 feet. Some say 5 to 6 feet. It's hard for me to decide now because my pawpaw are just a tiny stick. Again, thank you; this answer helps.

Thanks Mike🤩 just goes to show what can be possible with a little gritty determination 😀🌱

Hey Louise, thank you. I don’t feed often, but when I do feed. I foliar spray with either a liquid seaweed or Fish mix (from bio fizz) fertiliser. This seems to keep the leaves nice and green 🌱😀

Thanks Louise 🤩🌱

Hey Lisa 😀 thank you. Anything is possible 🤩🙏🏽❤️

@sheri023, thank you ☺️ 💚

They really are stunning Peter. I think it’s really cool to grow these Mediterranean/middle eastern fruit trees here in the UK. Hoping for fruit one day 😀🌱

@@daninthelionsden, yes I am aware of the Mountain Papaya being my cold hardy than the tropical…however it really hasn’t interested me to grow it. One reason being, it’s not sweet 😀plus I do like a challenge with the more tropical fruit trees.

@@jozef2749 these trees can can so long to fruit 🙄 but great to hear that yours is finally holding its fruit. Are you based in the UK?

My are still tiny but got a good growth this year.

@@lukaszkarpinski1748 they can take a while to get established. Pawpaw trees can really test a gardeners patience 🤣🌱

​@@joestropicals6760 My garden is in Slovakia. I work in the UK 8 months a year. I don't have a garden in the UK :( The climate in Slovakia is similar to the UK Southend on Sea. But in Slovakia it is hotter in the summer. Around 35 degrees Celsius during the day.

@@edark94 thank you 🤩

@@electricyellow613 and funnily enough this is not the only avocado tree in London. I’ve been fortunate enough to have tasted the fruit from this particular tree which I documented in one of my videos. Absolutely delicious 😋🥑

@@joestropicals6760 Here in the states, we have ads for avocados from Mexico. Maybe London should start their own ads... Avocados from Downing Street! 🤣

@@electricyellow613 now that’s funny 🤣

@@robertoughton9037 thank you. It really does go to show. With a little determination and dedication, these things can be possible. Wishing you all the best with your Loquats, pineapple guava & figs in beautiful Devon 🙌🏾

@@lyonheart84 thank you Brett. Yes it’s been a 4 year wait 🤣 but definitely rewarding. Both trees have flower buds forming, so provided I take care of them during winter ❄️ I’m hoping for even more fruit next summer 🙏🏽🌱

@@barryscott1989 🤩

@@RareFruitFarmerUK thank you 🤩

@@fkeeleung thank you my friend 😊🙌🏾

@@samuddin638 thank you 🤩

@@shamsgardeningcrafts thank you my friend 🙌🏾🌱

@@PeterEntwistle thanks Peter 😊 it’s been a long time coming…..at least 4 years 🤣 Both trees are now pushing out flower buds, so hopefully a lot more fruit next year 🙏🏽🌱

Tina, you are right! A beautiful miracle of nature 🤩 Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️ I’m very happy to share my joy with you all. 😘🇮🇹🌱💚

@@sheri023 haha…seeds saved and ready to sow! Thank you for watching 😀💚

@@MoebiusUK thank you. I am absolutely over the moon 🤩

Thank you bro 👊🏾🤩

@@joestropicals6760 🙌

@@juliandouglas4561 thank you. It’s taken at least 4 years from seed to fruit. Papaya roots don’t like to be sitting in water for too long. Most attempts at growing Papaya fail due to root rot. If you can get the watering correct, you’re pretty much half way there….oh and don’t give up 🙌🏾🌱

Thanks Peter. I’m really pleased with the growth of both trees. Once their roots establish themselves, they really take off. Hoping g for fruit next year 🙏🏽🌱

Just picked today 🤩 Taste review video coming very soon 😀

@@joestropicals6760 oh, nice! I can’t wait to see that 🎉

I sure did check it out although I have a question did ur finger lime leaves begin to turn dry and just fall off? My variety is the Byron sunrise that I got from a nursery in Austrailia

@@lyonheart84 Thanks Brett. My other tree is starting to push out flower buds. I totally get what you’re saying regarding putting out taste review video’s whether good or disappointing. I just never got around to doing it, but thought I’d mention the premature fruit as a back story. I’m definitely looking forward to picking and reviewing this last remaining fruit, and hopefully it won’t disappoint 😀🌱

@@shamsgardeningcrafts thank you. I’ve just covered it with an organza bag, so if it drops it’ll still hang on the tree 🙌🏾🌱

@@MoebiusUK thank you. I’m hoping that this remaining fruit will not disappoint. Yes, the warmer weather should definitely benefit the Papaya. Looking forward to doing a taste review 🙌🏾🌱

Thanks Tina. We’re definitely behind this summer, but I’m hopeful we’ll get some fruits 🙏🏽😊😘

@@Jordan-ql6tm thanks for the tip friend. I only really peeled it as it can give me an itchy throat 🤣 Man! It sounds like you had a lovely childhood in California with your Mexican Neighbours. That tangy Fresca juice with spice, sounds like the perfect drink on a hot summers day 😀☀️

@@joestropicals6760 man it sure was a fun childhood. Unfortunately your state now is absolutely degraded and a terrible place to live. We'll be leaving this once great state. It's been overrun similar to your country in most places and become very very dangerous to the point many of our local movie theaters and shopping Mall's are closing down, tons of businesses leaving and whole industries are leaving. On a personal note please keep yourself safe and don't fall for the agenda. Our country is t requiring as of yet but is "strongly recommending" citizens to REGISTER their gardens with the government... That's an insane prospect considering the "personal food stocking appropriations rules" that were put into effect during times of strife... Very scary never let them know what you have brother. Great channel man, stay free.

@@Jordan-ql6tm it really is sad to see brother…and I’m sorry you are having to leave a once great state. I totally agree with you, and unfortunately it’s all about control and greedy agenda driven politicians. Nevertheless, what ever I have comes from God and entrust all I have to him. No fear 😀🙌🏾

@@joestropicals6760 🤝 well said brother 💪. 🧂🗽

@@Jordan-ql6tm and you stay safe too 🙏🏽👊🏾

@@xboxandplaystation8167 one has already been reserved, and the other two will be staying for now 😊 as they branch out, I will be grafting more onto my Mexicola seedlings 🌱 then selling 🙌🏾

@@joestropicals6760 pls let me know when you get more. Thanks.

@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard thanks Johnny 🙌🏾

@@mgs721 3-4 years 😊

@@lyonheart84 hopefully the warm weather continues through August 🙏🏽🌱

Thanks Brett ☺️ not the easiest of plants to graft or take care of..so I’m super pleased that they’re doing well. Still early days, but very encouraging 🙌🏾

Thanks Mike..the really positive thing, is that yours are in flower…only a matter of time 🙌🏾
