- Short on time this morning, we took the opportunity to knock off some gardening to-do's. Mainly, to move plants from their pots and into the ground. One of those plants is the sugar apple tree. It was sprouted from seed a little over a year ago, lived through our Southern California winter, and now planted into the ground.
Very nice, I like suger apple 💕❤
The MOST TRUE name for a CZcams channel.
Lol, thanks!
We have problems trying to grow these in Hawaii. They are actually very hard to find in peoples personal gardens. Soursop is very easy, as is rollinia. Atemoya can get pests but are doable. I have a seedling custard apple still alive after two years but its been constant pampering. I’m hoping to become one of the rare farms that grows them in my area.
Wow, I had no idea. I thought with the tropical climate that all those would grow like weeds. Best wishes for growing these!
Your tree looks happy already, and your cactus 🌵 area is really nice! No burglar will come in to your property for sure, and if they do, you will for sure hear the screams!! 😂😂
Hehe thanks. If they do, I hope they bring along pliers to pull out the thorns. LOL.
You might want to put it into a large pot and keep it in a green house during your winter. In Jamaica we call it Sweet Sop and it grows more or less wild. You may also need to do the pollination yourself if there aren't enough insects around to do the pollination, and to get a higher yield. It's quite a healthy looking plant, how is it doing now?
The plant is growing much slower than I had thought. It is about as tall as in the video. Perhaps not enough sun. Also perhaps, I havent given it much attention and water.
I must admit that when I watched the video I was at work and watched without sound. The tag in the bag said sugar apple (hence my comment about sweet sop) but watching now with sound you say custard apple. Two different fruits of the same family Annona. The custard apple usually grows to a larger tree than sugar apple (sweet sop). There should be fresh growth on your plant by now.
@@Forroja Sir, Sugar Apple is the same as Custard Apple!
Hi Brian u know my papa on my dads side use to have the cream apple tree & its so delish!! It has a very unique flavor & I love it! Haven't ate one in years! TFS!👍🏼🌞
What a treat that must have been. I am hoping for the same with these trees. Second to the mangosteen, this is my favorite tropical fruit. Me, too, before the one I had last year, I hadnt had one in years! I hope you run across some sugar apples soon.
***** 👍🏼
I have a blue agave plant, I didn't know it's name until now, thanks so much. Will check out it's health benefits.
Good information Brian. Happy story time. Best wishes Bob.
Thank you, Bob. We had a good time. Have a good one!
Good info on sugar apple. We are planning to plant one or two.
Thanks Jo & Mig. Best wishes for when you plant :)
***** We plan to visit some nurseries in Florida and hopefully we can find a plant or two. Not been able to procure a plant or seeds yet still trying:-)
For seeds, you can get them the same way I did: from a fruit from an orchard in FL. I forget when they are in season. The exact orchard escapes me as well. I want to say that there are a few good tropical fruit orchards in the Homestead area. If it is not too far of a drive, it is a nice visit (not speaking from personal experience but from my relative's pictures.)
***** Thanks for the info. We are planning to take that trip to Florida soon:-)
you should grow Jujube. and carob...
they are very drought tolerant
both are very healthy as well.
both can also take considerable frost.
carob also fixes nitrogen and helps the soil, but its a larger tree, and you might need male and female plants.
Greetings, Brad. Jujube are great. The jujube will be lower on the list to plant for myself. My brother-in-law recently moved to a place with an orchard and the previous owner loved jujubes. They have at least a couple of trees.
I like nitrogen fixers. There are 'Forest Pansy' redbud growing along with some moringa and palo verde saplings. I've never heard of carob before today. Interesting plant. Hmm..larger tree? There may not be enough room for it then.
Maybe it's better to plant cherimoya in your climate. Cherimoya loves slightly cold winter and drops all its leaves in March or April. When the new leaves emerge, the flower buds appears with the new leaves. Sugar apple (凤梨释迦) needs are more susceptible to cold winter.
Thanks for the suggestion. I currently have a 'Geffner' atemoya. The trunk was probably the thickness of my thumb when I purchased it. The atemoya does grow fast where I am. I got my first fruit last year. I got about three but that is because I didnt manually pollinate.
This host is a HOTTIE.. And grt video too!
My nephew fed banana peels to his Aloe Vera, they have doubled in size in a year and very happy. My aloe is inside facing south and very happy.
Hmmm. I wonder if aloe vera likes potassium.
VOTE4TAJ how do feed the plant with banana peel
Do you recommend mounding most fruit trees in clay soil? We have that horrible "black gumbo" clay soil that holds too much water when wet. Also, I am in love with your purple prickly pear cactus! I want one now. lol
This is the first tree planted in this unconventional way. I am not ready to recommend it but I do think that it makes sense for tropical trees (including avocado trees). Their roots tend to run shallow and they dislike water logging. So in clay, planting a tree the conventional way usually entails digging a large and deep hole. Then back filling with lots of amendment. Planting fruit trees above ground means less back breaking work. Thanks about the cactus. It started off as a rooted pad that could fit in your hand. This year it really took off!
Well done guy enjoy u custard apple mind grow small
How long do you think it would take to fruit from a seedling
Depends on the climate. In Southern California, at least ten years. Unfortunately, this seedling didn't survive. I should have planted it in a more sunny location and protected it from cold until it is much taller.
The plant i bought the last august wasn't was short like this, it was tall and skinny, there a few skinny branches. There's barely any leaves growing and the one that's on there is pretty much from when i bought it, should i prune them? mine doesn't look happy at all like yours
Unless you live in a tropical climate, I would not prune your plant. They grow very slowly outside of their ideal climate.
That said, I havent more personal experience with that plant beyond this video. I thought it was more tough and the plant has died since I stopped taking extra care with it during the winter.
Good news, I recently sowed seeds for new plants. Hopefully they sprout.
I'm in Northern California and am trying to grown a sugar apple here. Do you have any seeds I can buy from you ? I think planting so high is a great idea ...hope it does well for you
Hello. I dont have seeds. It has been a long time since I got to eat a fresh sugar apple. Unfortunately, my tree hasnt grown much. The location is too much shade. I should probably dig it up and move it.
I wouldn't cover the tree's trunk, it will rot the trunk and kill the tree. Should only cover the roots with soil ( not trunk ) then cover with mulch.
Yes, yes! Very important advice, Van. Trees will suffocate (especially shallow rooted trees) if the trunk is covered with too much soil. Thanks for your comment. I'll be sure to mention that in the next tree planting video.
Never Enough Dirt any updates on how it’s doing?
I live in the South of east coast. Can you tell me how and where to get the sugar Apple tree..? Thanks in advance.
I do know the answer for how to get a tree. If you want to try growing from seed, you can find seeds at tradewindfruits.com
you planted your sugar apple in the ground outdoor.what is your growing zone?I'm in7b do you think it will be ok for me to plant it outside?thank you very much.
Hi, I am in Zone 10b. I rarely get frost here. This sugar apples are pretty hardy plants. Though I am not exactly sure how much frost they can endure. In 7b, I would imagine that you get frost. I am not familiar enough about the plant and your zone to properly advise. I am sure it can be done. Maybe in the winter, it needs a greenhouse built around it? Either a frame wrapped with plastic or a hoop house-- something easy to put up and take down.
thanks for your nice advice.I may try that.
Never Enough Dirt You said that it would be cheaper than Cobra
Oh, did I?? haha. I misspeak too much, ha.
Orchid and Kitties too cold
I would like to know how did your sugar apple do
My sugar apple plants remain about the same size you saw in the video.
True tropical plants grow at half the rate here in my sub tropical climate.
Perhaps in hindsight, I should have planted these trees in a very sunny location.
how does it normally take to fruit from a grafted seedling
I am not entirely sure. If I had to guess as early as a couple of years.
Probably 2 to 3 years from seed
Hello, do you have sale your sugar apple tree, how your sugar apple seed can germinate? if it is possible may I have some of your sugar apple seeds. I bought some and plant it, 6 months already, it is still in the soil. I do not see any germinate, thank you.
Hello, Helen. I dont have any seeds. The seeds that I planted were from a sugar apple that someone from Florida gave to me. They germinate pretty quickly; less than a month's time. I planted those seeds about 1/2-inch deep at most. Compared to my experience, 6 months is a very long time and may mean that the seeds will not be germinating at all.
Just go to the chinese supermarket and buy one, wait till it ripe and eat the flesh and throw all the seed to the ground and they will grow like weed. It take them half month to grow from seed. I did mine. I have 4 tree almost 2 years old. I will post it when it have fruits. Maybe they will fruit in 4 more month.
Helen Nguyen try this, soak in rain water for a day and plant it in soil.
Sugar apples are a very desirable fruit, we hardly get them here but once they come they are bit expensive.
These plants are from seed from a sugar apple from Florida. Nice to know that they are being grown outside of Asia. Hopefully that means a larger supply for all to enjoy.
Never Enough Dirt They are a bit favorite in southern part of Pakistan, mostly in Karachi and area. As we grow them in a bit colder climate I don't think there will be any issues with cold nights.
That's very good to know!! I am also glad that they are drought tolerant-- and may actually like it better with less water.
wasabi update please!
Coming up! I promise. I plan on shooting a garlic planting video today. After that we'll do a wasabi update. Thanks for your interest in the growing trial!
