The Speedy Fruit Tree You Need to Grow! Tamarillo / Tree Tomato
Tamarillo or Tree tomato is one of the fastest fruit trees to grow, providing delicious fruits in under 2 years from seed!
Not only do these South American fruit trees grow extremely fast, they're also easy to propagate, produce abundant harvests through Autumn and Winter, and the tamarillos can be used in many ways - eaten fresh or used in sweet or savoury dishes.
I'll be showing you how to grow tamarillos (also called tree tomatoes, or tomate de árbol), from seed to harvest and share some care requirements to consider.
We'll also do a tasting of the multiple tamarillo varieties that I'm growing, so you can see how different the varieties are.

    The attitude many people have about growing fruit from seed is the perfect embodiment of letting perfect be the enemy of good. If they can't 100% guarantee that something will grow to be a super special ultra premium perfect in every way specimen, then it's trash and anyone else who is happy with just getting something good is wrong/wasting time and should be trashed online.

    My grandmother started an avocado tree from seed not long after buying her house in 1948. I grew up eating avocado. A lot of avocado. The tree was huge. By the time she passed way, the tree was taller than her house and was still producing fruit. We fertilized the tree with her ashes.

    I have a 3-year-old tree grown from seed. Still in a large tub. I've been afraid to leave it outside in the winter. I'm at 4,000 ft in Arizona so winter temperatures are can get in the teens. (15 F). We have extreme wind (40mph). I have clay soil and gophers that like to eat the roots of several plants I have planted (ocotillos, agaves, trees,shrubs). Dare I risk putting it in the ground ?

  • @stephenking4170
    @stephenking4170 Před 2 dny

    Loquats can be an invasive weed and are recognised as such in Northland. However, it is possible to select very large fruited ones that have fruit too large for Kereru to swallow and disperse. Twice the normal fruit size. They need branch structural pruning to ensure that each tier of branches grows wide and flat with sun penetrating deep. This gives good access to the fruit . I pruned one tree with a spiral of widely spaced branches, which has worked well.

  • @occulta4249
    @occulta4249 Před 2 dny

    I have planted some Loquat seeds this spring and most have sprouted, but somehow many of them just get dark tips and die off, none have grown more than 3cm so far... Could it be because of low temperatures? Summer hasn't really been warm yet over here in Switzerland...

    Not being really sweet is an indicator that, yes, you are correct: it is not fully ripe. My favorite of the 5 or so species I've eaten is a purple variety with an almost black seed pocket. The flavor is just exquisite!

    when they are like this just put them into a jar of olive oil and it can stay there for hundreds of years and you can take a spoon as medicine when you need. you can make one for small burns. like if you burned your finger and you stick it in there and wait for a couoke of minutes it get fine and you dont feel mucb pain afterwards usually.
