- In this video we take another complete tour one year later showing the additions and changes to our backyard food forest. Everything from sugar apples trees, jujube tree, pickering mango and much more...... To hear my message on Jesus the Great I AM, click this link: • John 8:30-58 Before A...
I love soursop! I like to boil the leaves with moringa leaves and lemongrass to make tea. I add some honey to it and more lemon juice... what a powerhouse of Gods greatness for your body! Amazing health benefits come along with the beautiful flavors you get from it! Beautiful garden you have sir! 👍🙏✌
I've been using the soursop leaves, guava, moringa and passion fruit leaves also to make tea. Yes, amazing health benefits. Bless you!
You have a beautiful garden. Just love it. And all those delicious fruit.
Thank you very much! Happy Growing!
Thank you for letting us know we can get fruit in Florida
Thanks for watching. Happy Growing!
God bless you, I love watching your videos, I too would love some day to have a garden like when I retire and that will be soon God willing 🙏.
Thank you. God Bless You! Yea, I love growing my tropical fruit trees. God willing you will be able to do the same soon. Happy Growing!
I’m with you about the fruit trees, I grew up south of you in Riverview when we didn’t even have a red lite. Quack is one of favorite. I enjoy watching your success. Happy picking 😀
Thanks Sandra. Nothing like eating fruit fresh from the garden. Happy Growing!
What a beautiful garden y’all have! GOD is truly blessing your efforts! Blessings ~ Linda
Thanks Linda. Yes God has truly blessed us.
Such a cute garden and fruit forest! I’m in south Florida too! And starting my own! Super excited
Awesome. You will not regret it. Best thing I have ever done is growing fruit trees! Happy growing.
Awesome to see this is Lutz! I'm in Lutz as well. My food forest is just under a year old at this point but getting there!
It takes time. Even if you waited too long, the best time to plant a tree is now! Best thing I ever did was start a food forest of fruit trees. Good luck!
I had 2 yellow passion fruit vines along my fence on the west side of the property. Heavy, heavy, heavy producers and I did nothing to them. I just stuck them in the ground about 20 feet apart after sprouting them in pots and they took off. I must have gotten over 400 passion fruits from both of those vines in their first season. South East Florida area is where they were growing at the time. My neighbor loved me for that! The vines made their way on his side of the fence too, so he got most of the fruit which I was ok with as he made juice with them and that was unbelievably delicious. Plus, he gave me the seeds too! My neighbors son who is an adult with a family of his own living 3 blocks away takes 3 blood pressure medicines to keep himself in check so I gave him a bunch of the fruits too which helps to lower blood pressure. I gave him some seeds and the rest of the seed went to everyone around me. the next year we had thousands of fruits all up and down the block! It was an amazing time!
Yea the first yellow vine I planted gave a ton of fruit. Unfortunately it died from a freeze. I'll be planting more vines soon. All of them will be the yellow variety.
I'm your latest subscriber, living in Altamonte Springs near Orlando.
Thanks. Happy gardening.
Thanks for sharing our pineapple pics! They like coffee grounds.
Thanks for the tip. I will look into it. Happy gardening.
Beautiful garden. Makes me homesick. Continue growing!
Thanks Joy! It's like a little Jamaica in my backyard.
Your garden is my dream garden 💕one day
Thank you! One tree and one step at a time.
Beautiful garden. Congrats!! Sugar apple is also my favorite fruit.
Thank you! Yes, Sugar apples are my favorite! An incredible fruit! Happy growing!
Awesome tropical fruit garden! thanks for the tour!
Than you. You are welcome!
Greeting from Riverview. I'm inspired to start growing fruit trees .
You will not regret it. Best thing I have ever done. Nothing like picking fruit off your own tree.
Love your closing witness! Lovely fruit forest...mine is in its 2nd year, but as I started most of my trees from seed, I’ve got a ways to go yet! We’re in the Port Charlotte area of Florida.
Hi Loyda! It takes time but well worth the time and effort. Thanks for the comments. Be blessed and keep growing.
Congratulations, you have a nice tropical fruit forest there.
Than you very much!
My best friend😊tropical fruit trees 😊
Love pineapple trees, your had big tree and big fruits.
How long to get fruit like your please.
Thanks for sharing video 😊
If you are talking about the pineapples, it takes two years to get the fruit. I spray the leaves with half strength miracle grow every two months or so. Happy Growing!
Dude your trees are awesome. Im here in Florida and just starting. Lot to learn
Thank you! I started out knowing nothing at all about growing tropical fruit trees. I've watched a lot of videos and have read many articles and I am still learning. Best hobby I have ever started. Nothing liking picking fruit off your tree in your yard!
Liked in the first 30 seconds! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
Thank you!
@@tropicalfruitman4394 you’re welcome!
Love it! Your olive tree is perfect. Neglect does it well. Mine has flourish and all I do is tell it how big and beautiful it is. The only way your getting olives is with a cold winter. Needs a set amount time of cold to produce. But then the rest of your tropical fruit trees will die. Go figure living in a subtropical zone.
Yea, my Florida Prince Peach tree needs chill hours but not that cold and not that many hours. Maybe one day my olive tree will give me some olives.
Looks amazing. Can wait to get more trees
Thank you. One or two trees at a time. Good luck and happy gardening.
Trip 3 fan from india..
Happy growing!
Your backyard is beautiful!!!
Hi Ann! Thank you very much. I'm blessed!
Did you taste the pomegranate? Some varieties are clear/white on the inside, not red. Those squirrels know they are ripe . That's why they eat them. You have a nice selection of trees.
I did get to taste one and it was a bit red but mostly clear. It was ok but not like the ones you get at the grocery store. I had what looked to be a perfect one on the tree in late winter but a squirrel got to it before I did. Thanks for the comment.
If you're looking for plants check out "Green Food Forest " in Howie in the Hills . He's amazing .
Thanks for the info. I will check them out!
The pomegranates should turn a deep burgundy like color and the skin will start to wrinkle and they get a little soft. At least I let mine sit until they start to wrinkle some lol
Which variety do you have? I believe mine is the Vietnamese variety.
fantastic
Thank you!
Awesome yard. Very inspirational. How do you keep the squirrels from running off with the pineapples before you get to harvest? God bless you!
Well, the ones in pots I bring into the patio when they start turning yellow. The ones in the ground I cover overnight with a paper bag because the possum's like eat them. I assume it's possum's because it's only at night when they get eaten. I haven't seen squirrels trying to eat them in the daytime. Happy Growing!
@@tropicalfruitman4394 thank you. Numbers 6:24-26
Love it Thankyou
Thank you very much!
Sugar apple is also known as custard apple
Yes, depending what part of the world you live. It also goes by the name "sweet sop."
Hi , nice plants and trees ! Love Tropical fruit trees as well! :)
Thank you. I subscribed to your channel. Gotta love growing tropicals!
Thank you for sharing your garden tour. What a blessing! What is the variety of sugar apple do you have? What fertilizer do you apply to it and how often?
I'm not sure of the variety. All I know is that it is Annona Squamosa. I use an 8-10-10 and fertilize in April, July and October. More often when they are smaller. Easy to grow!
Hi There I'm so happy I found your channel,It had to be the Lord ! I had been searching for someone that is growing fruit trees in Florida.Im about 1hr or more from Lutz!I'm in Bradenton,love your food forest! I'm just starting ,where do you get your fruit trees?.And Is there a particular order what plants to put beside each other.thank you!,🙏
Hi Rosalyn. I had been getting most of my trees from the USF garden show held in April and October. Unfortunately since COVID started the show has not taken place. Let's hope it starts up again soon. You may want to try Jene's Tropicals in St. Pete. She has a great selection and many trees that are not listed on the web site. Blessings!
Where do you get your little signs? So cute!
My wife gets them on E-Bay. Do a search and should find numerous people selling them.
Where did you find the garden signs. I have a Pineapple Way and Fruit Tree Ln., but I haven't gotten signs yet.
My wife found them on E-Bay. Numerous people selling them.
Wow what a garden , just getting started . Have 5 fruit trees going looking to add more . Any cherimoya ?
Greetings. Keep it going and eventually you will have plenty of fruit. I just added a Custard Apple tree today. No Cherimoya but I hear they taste great. Keep an eye out for the next garden show at USF in October. They may have the Cherimoya or the Atemoya there.
Do you water or have irrigation? I see you have a hose. What do you water versus just letting Mother Nature handle it once they’re established?
Yes I have installed irrigation. I have risers in almost every area that I have trees. I do water by hand for the first three weeks whenever I plant a new tree then after that I use the irrigation. Rain is even better!
Beautiful garden. Did you have any wet spots and what do you do with it?
Most of my property doesn't have a problem draining.
Where do you get your sugar apple trees from?
USF has a garden show twice a year, in April and October with many vendors there. Easy to find sugar apple trees there. Also, Jene's Tropicals carries them.
Do you grow the pineapple in the direct sun??
I do grow them in direct sun but I have found that the ones growing in partial shade do very well and look a bit more healthier (greener leaves).
I am looking for roselle plants or seeds. Can you help me?
Try a local nursery. It shouldn't be too hard to find.
beautiful update. is that sugar apple the chewy (Vietnamese) variety ? do you hand pollinate ? how heavy do you trim the tree ? thanks
I don't think they are the Vietnamese variety. I don't hand pollinate. I do a moderate pruning. Thank you!
You don't have orange trees?
I'm running out of room. I like oranges but I like rare tropicals better.
Where in Lutz are you located? How big is the land? Is there a pond ? I am actively looking for a property that had fruit trees like this.
I'm on about half an acre. no pond. I planted all the trees myself.
Tropical Fruit Man bro awesome I am very proud of you. We would love to visit your house sometime to see it
Niceeee question do you have more than 1 pomegranate tree. I just ordered a wonderful. I really don’t want 2.
I only have one tree. It gives a good amount of fruit.
@@tropicalfruitman4394 thank you so much for confirming that’s why I love this❤️
Could you please address what you do to get the pineapple to fruit? I’ve had 3 in ground for 18 months no fruit. So West Fla
You may have to wait another few months. Make sure you are spraying the leaves with miracle grow every two or three months.
Mine took 3 years to fruit. I threatened to chop it down, lmao and it produce a fruit with several other heads for future fruit. Also it was in shady area, perhaps that played a role in growth, but the fruit was big! Patience!
They do take time to produce. I did nothing to mine, just stuck some of them in pots and some in the ground and they all produced within less than 2 years and at different times. I had mine on the south side of the property in south east florida at the time so they had full sun too. Compost tea is a good alternative to miracle grow and cheaper too. Patience, love and good vibes make plants thrive! All the best to you on your journey! 🙏✌👍
How much land are you on?
Half an acre most in the back yard.
@@tropicalfruitman4394 Thank you!
Olive trees like neglect
It appears so.
