I love plants. Getting ready to buy or first home. Super excited to plant all kinds of fruit trees and many other kinds of greenery. I am a Gardner landscaper here in las vegas
I just bought a dwarf fig and dwarf mulberry to plant. Still need to get a grape vine or two, some dwarf fruit trees, tomato plants, get my potatoes in the ground and a couple of melon plants.
So happy to find this video. I moved from Washington state and have been trying figure this new climate out. I have always grown in more a food forest style and am happy to see how you are doing it here! Do you or Tim teach classes? I feel so lost in this climate. :).
Things seem to be gettin colder, here on the East Coast. Fig trees have begun to die back, often to the ground, as far south as the Carolinas!! Up until about 10 years ago that didn't happen, even here, in Pennsylvania! The figs rarely even ripen anymore.
Where I live (in the Paradise area close to UNLV and the McCarran Airport) this Philippine neighbor of mine grows four 15 foot tall moringas, several lemongrass bushes, a small sprawling lemon tree, and a beautiful pink guava tree all in ground that has been around for at least ten years in his front yard. He also has a neat looking vegetable garden with cool looking eggplants in the summer. I currently grow a dwarf cavendish and a palora dragonfruit unprotected in my backyard with better success in the cooler months than in summer.
Thank you for this video. Do you happen to know about anyone in vegas who does grafting? I would like to have some of my citrus trees grafted. Thank you in advanced
I'm looking for a Vegas valley house with a food forest. Realtors tell me they can't help me because people don't report their fruit trees, even when they do, the listers don't list it because "no one cares about that stuff".
Not that no one doesn't care about it, but it's an impermanent part of a property. It has no genuine bearing on value because it can all be gone in one passing of a season. Why waste the time of listing productive trees if they're potentially GONE by the time a person interested in them sees the listing? It's waste of time to include trivial things in the listings, the agents have HUNDREDS of properties they manage and cannot be expected to maintain the information for impermanent features. Moving on to the fact that the great majority of HOA's do NOT allow multiple kinds of plants, trees and will flat out disallow gardening in front yards. There are VERY restricted lists of what is allowed and most of them must be drought tolerant. This also lends to the idea that just because someone has planted a Food Forest, doesn't mean they knew what they were doing. A great deal of Permies never consider native plants to their region, they tend to consider what they WANT to grow and eat, not what they SHOULD be growing in this climate (or any climate) and our lack of water. Food Forests are personal things. You're never going to find a listing on a property that is designed the way you want if you want a Food Forest waiting for you when you get there.
@@shotgunbettygaming Obviously you are not familiar with fruit tree cultivation. Many take years before they fruit, and require unique attention, e.g., prep of the space to accommodate survival until they are well established. This comes only after research, experimentation, time/money. Why bother? 1. Higher quality, better tasting fruit. 2. Big food saving. 3. Food unavailable, at any price. 4. Food independence. 5. A PERMANENT resource. Established trees develop roots that reach down to aquifers. This makes them drought tolerant. A unique growing environment will allow maximum use of space. I would NEVER let an HOA dictate how I live on my land. Nor will I find appreciation for intelligent living requirements by ignorant, lazy realtors.

Great property for sure! He's put a lot of work into his forest!! I would have liked to hear the homeowner's voice better.

@@Toomuchbullshitt nice. I'm in indian springs, probably just a bit too cool for the moringa.
Moringas are said to grow like weeds here in L.V. But the 1st year it needs protection from the cold.
Hi Tim, what kind of soil do you use?

Just learn is best way
It's not rocket science.
