I've always wondered how jelly coconuts taste since I've only had the ones in jars and they are preserved with sugar. I love the Chilean coconuts. Would definitely visit this place if I'm in the Bay Area. Thank you, John for bringing the spice to our lives.
We grow several species of palms on our island here in Canada. There are some nice well established Butia capitata, eriospatha and Jubaea chilensis here. The majority of the palms you will see here are T.fortunei. Towering old specimens
Chilean wine palm is edible, both the fruit and the seed. The fruit is sweet and has lot of fibers, it has a mild taste like mango. Awesome fruit for summers walking in the range.
I want to grow a hardy big palm tree in Eastern Canada (USDA zone 4). It must survive cold snap of -40 C for a few days at a time and under zero temperature for 3 months. Its roots will have to cope with permafrost down to 2 meters lasting for 3-4 months. If the oak and the poplar can do it, so why not a Trachycarpus Fortunei. So get busy smart gardeners. I'm sure you can do the impossible and the unbelievable right?
John Pindo Palm "jelly palm" has a juicy fruit that is delicious when ripe off the palm. They grow well along the south east from Virginia to northern Florida. Jelly palm seed as well taste like coconut in the middle of seed.
When John said mini, I thought baseball sized, not marble sized, LOL. Maybe MicroMini! And when he said cold hardy I was super excited, cuz I live in Alaska. But maybe he should have said cool tolerant, LMAO. Guess I have to just move to the tropics to have all that wonderful tropical fruits!!!
Domestic plants have not just been 'hybidized', but selectively bred to produce varieties that have better characteristics than the native plants: yield, flavor, hardiness, etc. Superior specimans from the wild are also reproduced vegatatively, producing identical 'cultivars'.
This nursery is amazing. I've bought the following species from them for prices which could not be had anywhere else (and some of these species weren't available anywhere else): (1) pindo palm (not common in NorCal); (2) Mediterranean fan palm, which is not rare; (3) Chilean wine palm (almost impossible to find in NorCal); (4) Guadalupe fan palm; (5) king palm (hard to find in NorCal); (6) California fan palm (common); and a cold-hardy avocado (Mexicole?? sp??). I'd like a Quito coconut, too.
we have similar climate in parts of florida and are able to grow bananas in backyards easily, also pineapple and papaya- which grows seemingly inches a day when mature! How do you get dates off the date palms?
Jelly palm is common in southkorea's southern part Chilean palm can't tolerate the summer downpour Parajubaea is never introduced though it is hardy enough which is a shame
hey since your hopping around cali can we get a lil more info on cactus varteties and how to prepare them to eat,i was borne in santa rosa but mooved away before ever eating prickly pear. ps ,,i live in oregon so what are my chances of growing a fruiting variety??
I just started my garden about 2 weeks ago because of your videos!!!!! And I have over 50+ plants of various vegetables, fruits, and herbs. I was wondering what type of plants you'd recommend for a hot, humid climate of Louisiana?
Thank you for this and all your videos. I'm always looking to grow new fruits and veggies. Right now im looking for nut trees I can grow in Puerto Rico. There is a known phenomenon in Puerto Rico that has allowed trees that take long to fruit like Mangosteen to fruit in less than half the time. I would like to try all of these. I bet they would fruit way faster.
If the root systems of palms is rather small, like to fin in a grow box, why are palm trees the only things left after a weather event like Hurricanes?
Have you ever heard of a group of islanders who planted their coconut trees deeper every year as they grew so they could harvest them- or maybe down deep to start? Or did I dream or imagine this?
love the mini-coconuts … awesome. wonder if you can make all the stuff the oil, butter, milk in your juicers, looking forward to seeing them on your discount juicers channel! john … have you ever heard anything about bananas growing in the bay area, perhaps in a green house. bananas as such amazing plants i'd love to be able to grow my own bananas. there is a housing technology called the earthship where they say you can grow bananas in parts of the system.
I know that coconuts bear fruit when just a few feet tall. I used to have a loot when I lived in the Caribbean. I bet you can buy them from Florida or anywhere in that area.
I really appreciate information on what kind of fruits and veggies can be grown in the Bey Area climate. I wonder if some of this is going to be changing with global warming ?
Mature carob is hardy to about 20 F degrees. There is a variety of orange that can survive to -15 F (check my past videos) and certain varieties of guava are hardy to 20 degrees. Date palms are fairly tolerant to maybe 18 degrees. I have not heard of cold hardy tropicals you mention.
You just wait for them to fall :D or when they come of easily when you try to pluck them, by that time they're usually a little wrinkly looking. Enjoy your dates!
Im from chile and i have to say that jubaea chilensis looks really small and strange its funny to see how our trees grows in other countries but sadly chilean wine palm is aprecciated here.
When I lived in Key West we had a coconut tree in our front yard. It was great. My daughter would see the coconuts growing and say Daddy can I have some Coconut??? Well how could I say no to my little Sweety. I would just wack one off with my machete for her. : )
If someone is able to create a hybridized cold hardy coconut, they would make bank!

Palm and plumeria trees, two of my favorite species! Well I was born on a tropical island!
Awesome! Great video. I love all Exotic plants, especially Palms!
Depends on the climate. These palms can handle some cold, and some altitude, but dont like to get too hot.

BananaJSSI Is that in Saltspring Island,British Columbia?
Chilean wine palm is edible, both the fruit and the seed. The fruit is sweet and has lot of fibers, it has a mild taste like mango. Awesome fruit for summers walking in the range.
Also, try a Madagascar Coconut Palm Tree. It's also cold hardy. Beccardiophenix Alfredii.
My old house had a palm with Coquito nuts, loved cracking them open and eating them.
i dont think Parajubea cocoides have a chance in santa rosa unfortunately :(
i had one in healdsburg and once it dipped bellow 25f it was fried
Very cool :). I will be visiting the bay area in September I will keep an eye out for these :)

Date palm produces fruit in ~6 years in Ca and is extremely rich and delicious

I wish they grew faster! So if I plant one now.. I should have fruit when I'm 47.

Lychees are capable in zone 8 or 9 but do best in zone 10 or 11
