@pms-hd3od Yes it can be a bit heavy (luckily Im a big guy 😀) and bamboo is great! The problem with bamboo is finding a big piece in the suburbs and storing a 15-foot piece. Also, if not processed correctly, it's going to crack and spinter overtime.

Well it worked!

@@DeavtheDev Thanks. Appreciate it!

@@UHDNaturals Thanks for the information. Hopefully they get a bit tastier as the tree matures. Hope to keep improving the video quality and commentary.

@jessicamgallion8977 cute, but it's supposed to be full size ☹️. Good thing was free from a store Pineapple top. Pineapples do great in containers, so u could give it a try, but u will definitely need to bring in 4 the cold. Might take over 2 years to get a fruit.

@@stokedonearth awesome. Thanks for the info

Welcome & Thanks 4 watching! Vernalization was only a few weeks at best, definitely a point of improvement 4 next year. Plan to target 10 weeks. Feed was mainly dr. Earth to condition the area per packaging. Think one more feeding during, plus I chopped and dropped a banana trunk. But I also had 3 tomato plants interplanted. There's a link 2 the 1st 90 days 2 see some of the process.

No problem. U have a nice tropical summer garden... great work.

@@stokedonearth Thanks for checking it out!

Organics on the ground. Mainly chop and drop and wood chips. And a living mulch of sweet potatoes in this particular area. Guess I have a new video idea...thx

Google Translate is not working 4 your post, but the key sugar apple pollinator in my area is a beetle.

Yeah one of my 1st videos and not the best. Moral of the story...after your main fruit set, usually u prune off new blooms because they won't have time to develop before the vine goes dormant. Thus just wasting energy that could be focused on the developing fruit. But I left them this past year and got a solid second harvest. Seems my warm season is getting longer to support 2 harvests. Individual milage will vary. Looks like a candidate video to re-edit.

@@stokedonearth thank you for the response

@billkraemer4710 I found mine in the painting department of my local big box store. Could be used/sold in lighting as well. Thx

Thanks.

That is the fruit picker.

Thanks. Yeah, I should have included that tidbit... I added it to the video description as below. Thanks 4 the advice. The basket is "Twist-On Fruit Picker Basket" that I bought off of Amazon for around $20. My guess is the big box stores also carry a similar part.

@@stokedonearth awesome thank you so much. Now that you mention that I should’ve checked the description first

@@maverick9300 yes that much was obvious. What I meant was he didn’t mention its intended purpose like how he did the painters pole being for ceilings (though you can use those on walls as well because they are for roller brushes). Knowing what it’s at least used for helps in knowing where to buy it which is what I was I was getting it

Thanks!

I bet it would work for walnuts, but I have honestly never seen a walnut harvest. It's all about the basket head being able to grab the nuts. Pole is strong enough to use a saw head to cut branches.

They are good to eat immediately and usually have several days to a week on the counter shelflife. Just depends on the level of ripeness u desire.

@@stokedonearth thank you my cogshall mango is almost ready

@@thecrusadesofbangbang I just posted a video where I cut a few fiberless mangos (including cogshall) open. So u can see the ripeness we enjoy...

I have huge challenges with my citrus in South Florida between massive amounts of citrus leaf miners and general soil/nutritional conditions. They are not the healthiest specimens and not a great benchmark 4 the oak tannins success.

@@stokedonearth im in Coastal SC. I have a potted Bears lime. For years It struggled with no fruits. Similar issues with leaf miners & white flies. However, two years ago i intuitively hand stripped all the diseased leaves, A new flush of healthy leaves ensued. Now i hand clip any leaf that begins to yellow, i control rapid growth clipping the tender tips. The small tree now looks better than any I've ever seen, and is producing lots of fruit. no leaf miners, all healthy large green leaves. I believe the success comes from stripping diseased leaves which disrupts the reproductive cycle of the pests. This year i started the same program with my sickly grapefruit tree which has had leaf miners & Im adding oak leaves as a base compost.

@donaldjhill sounds like a good, albeit laborsome, strategy to minimize the total population. U get the added benefit of a cold period that also kills the bugs. We are open 24/7/365 here in South Florida...in fact our largest flowering/flush happens in the winter.

U saw that! Was a volunteer. I have not yet harvested a ripe fruit but based on shape and size, as well as its low fruit development. I'm pretty sure it is a Red Lady. I grow 4 different varieties on purpose, so I get lots of volunteers. Great problem to have!

They seem to be in my house more than outside. Guess they like the AC

U gotta put out the buffet feast like my yardlong beans...

I use the flat setting to do the same with the hose.

Everyone is welcomed

Totally agree, but I am more of a survival of the fittest...with a few blasts of the hose.

Yeah, we went from near drought to monsoon rains. Should have seen how many afids were on some other plants.

I hope so...been 10 years, so I pretty invested and I only got fruit 2 seasons. I'm holding out for a cure as to why I haven't chopped it down.

U could be right. This is zone 6-7 where I was so a bit out of my element.

@@stokedonearth Did you happen to see any flowers? If they were yellow, then probably P. indica. We have a ton along our foundation and landscaping blocks like that, but the flowers are all already gone, so you may not have seen them. The fruits look similar, more seed (or achene maybe?) than fruit, and no real flavor. Either way, they are cute plants, I enjoy seeing them every year.

@@Alexander_Evans did not see any flowers

Stay tuned next week 4 a video of the reason and process

Yeah, they were pretty small at that stage, but they will get a bit bigger.

It has been about 1 year since I found the branch and rooted it. They propigate easily from cuttings and was a branch someone cut off their tree pruning.

Southeastern florida

Yes you do cross on opposite sides, but I found that the 1st 2 rungs when the plant is small are not tight enough and mine were flopping from side 2 side. I stop doing this extra after 3 levels as the plant seems to stabilze when it gets more branches to "hold on" to the string.

@@stokedonearth I see! Thanks for the advice

Yep. Purple Flesh type.

His are probably bigger

Our problem is cold. Think this winter we hit 45 degrees for a minute :-)
