Thank you!!

I had no idea about that. How do you do it? Just brew the leaves, or any special trick?

You're welcome!

I tried one recently and it's very tasty, so It's the newest tree I planted this spring! A bit less dry than a Chinese jujube, and sweeter than most Chinese varieties. The issue with Indian is they cannot tolerate a hard freeze, whereas Chinese jujube can.

Don't be afraid to manhandle your mulberry :)

Thank you, and I'm glad you're here.

Depends where you live. In Phoenix it needs shade at least a couple years. If you’re on the west coast, I’d plant it in full sun.

Let me first just say I appreciate the effort and care it takes to make these videos, but this comment is correct. Loquats in phoenix AZ can take full sun, especially the seedlings (Strawberry). Now how you chose to grow them is entirely up to you. I am currently growing a gold nugget in full western harsh sun and it is doing just fine. You should really emphasis that these videos are your experience and opinion on growing, not factual or standard practice. Micro climates local conditions all make it hard to be so absolute.

@@blackchem3 I agree each yard is different and even each plant is slightly different. As I said in the video, seedlings are hardier, so if someone fails with a grafted variety they should try seedling. With your gold nugget, did you grow it in full sun from when it was a young sapling? I've never heard of this before in Phoenix, and every guide/video I've seen with loquat in Phoenix recommends shade at least for the first 2 years when the plant is young. It would be great to see a picture of your tree - good job defying the sun here... not easy.

Thank you Majd.

So nice of you, thanks!

Thank you Anne

Shade them in afternoon for the first year or two. I think they do best in morning sun and filtered afternoon sun (at least in Phoenix AZ where I live).

I would love to visit Cambodia someday, and try all the fruit!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! What fertilizer and method burnt your trees in the past? I learned the hard way too, and always use less than I maybe could.

@@TouchGrassGardening I was using regular fish emulsion that was commonly sold at specialty nurseries at the time (probably more than 7 or 8 years ago now). I just could not get the ratio correct... I think it is still better to use less and more frequently than too much all at once. 😆

Thank you, and great context. Concerning temps, I just do it at the coolest part of the morning even in the summer. As I'm sure you know, in Arizona we have to bend/break the rules! My view is that it's still working, but it's very difficult to conduct an experiment unless I have two of the same tree growing next to each other and only foliar feed one of them.

@@TouchGrassGardening Definitely! We do what we can in this environment. Clearly, you have happy well-fed trees!

Once the birds find the tree, look out!

I've heard from others that Illinois Everybearing is quite delicious, and is rated down to USDA Zone 4.

@@TouchGrassGardening TY Boss!

Haha thanks. I’ll try not to become a spastic UA-camr fishing for engagement :)

I had a broken line I didn’t realize near my mastic tree, and it got more water than needed. I never saw yellow leaves or drop though, so I’m a bit more worried there might be something going on with the roots of your tree as you suggested. If it were me I would let that side with the leak dry out a bit but continue watering from the other lines on the other areas of the tree. I dislike digging up soil and disturbing the roots.

@@TouchGrassGardening I agree as the tree has been in ground for 3 years and solid roots. Literally was producing new growth and thriving a few weeks ago and I walk out and saw yellow leaves mid branch and then next few days turned dry like it was ripped out of ground. My wife trimmed a few branches the weekend before and I fixed the water line. Infection from trimming?? Too much water around roots? It turned dry fast!! I know the tree is super hardy in many harsh environments so this is not the tree I’d of ever worried about. Perplexing. I pulled water lines away from the tree to dry out and see where it goes. I hate losing trees but would really hate losing this one.

@@willTone Let me know how the tree does in the coming weeks. The heat is coming, but like you said this tree is so hardy.

Yes

Great suggestion! I may be able to try that next year.

Thank you! 🤗

That's a wonderful usage for these trees!

I can understand why with how nurseries position mulberries. Their incentives are skewed towards selling hardy, easy to propogate trees that will produce fruit within a year. That's another reason I find your channel so valuable - no sales angle, just learning about and enjoying the garden. I'm really curious to hear how your mulberries do in pots -- that might be a better method for most people. Have you gotten fruit? And is it only with dwarf varieties that can do well in pots?

​@@TouchGrassGardening Agreed; they are a nice tree to sell! More are learning that root-knot nematode is a real thing with mulberry trees in the ground. My IL Everbearing developed that in its 7th year. It's difficult to eradicate RKN. RKN is another reason I planted ice cream bean in place of mulberry as they are resistant to RKN. The Thai dwarf set amazing amounts of delicious fruit (see my recent "What's Ripening in April" video). Maui was too cold-sensitive and did not bear so I have culled it. I'll be trialing others like World's and Jan's Best. I may try Pakistani in a grow bag and see how that does. I enjoy your channel and perspective. You have an awesome yard! Keep it up!

@@EnlightenmentGarden Likewise, and thank you!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Make a mini greenhouse :)

Gold Nugget

Welcome aboard! Thank you

I have 8 varieties of jujube :) Will do a video this autumn
