Joe that is the most remarkable botanical garden I've seen outside of the Far East. Thank you for doing such an interesting tour. The climate must almost be subtropical there. They have tropical fruit trees that I've never seen outside of the true tropics, they are so lucky with what the locals could grow there if they were interested. I'm always incredibly disappointed with how boring the plants growing in the South of France are, they are incredibly unadventurous with what they plant 😂
I was going to say the same thing, apart from the Canary Islands, which are subtropical and not really in Europe (geographically), I have never seen tropical fruit trees growing so well outside within the EU. Heck, some of those mango trees looked healthier than some of the ones I've seen in Tenerife.
@@PeterEntwistle they could grow most of those in the sheltered parts of South of France but clearly have no interest in trying. Mango would struggle in Antibes but they have avocado trees fruiting but I've never seen white sapote, guavas, roseapples etc all of which should be fine. They just don't seem interested in trying
Wow, what an incredible place, Joe! I think I'm going to have to visit it at some point, I've always fancied visiting one of the Greek islands. Yeah, the Malabar plum at 24:49 is also known as rose apple (Syzygium jambos), I think it used to be called Eugenia jambos.
Peter, I’m sure you would love it here. Passing the Avocado and Citrus groves on the way to the botanical gardens was awesome. Ok, so the Malabar plum is also known as the rose apple, thanks for that matey 🙌🏾
Anazing collection of fruiting plants. I loved the White Sapote trees.

Lol that was another roseapple at the very end, syzygium Jambos, also known as the malabar plum. Should germinate easily 😉
The female peacock is actually called a peahen 😁
🙌🏾
That pineapple guava was really suffering from drought 😢
Too hot for it, but still had some fruit. Probably needs better irrigation
Your daughter was correct, Angel's trumpets ( brugmansia ) is a very poisonous plant 😱
😂actually my 9 year old son, but yeah I had no idea Ángel’s trumpets are poisonous ☠️
@@joestropicals6760 haha you weren't filming them talking so I only heard a young voice 😂😂, my bad 😂😂. Even better knowledge at 9 👍👍😎😎
@@lyonheart84 😃
Lol even botanical gardens make spelling mistakes on names 😂, its Mangifera Indica not Magnifera Indica
