Cold Hardy Citrus in the Snow Zone 7
But certain plastics can damaged through weathering anyhow,cause to be brittle & crack to pieces if you put any important plants or vegatables in them,ha?.
PVC is pretty tough to hold up, so I hope they hold up.
I’d give pomegranates a shot. Afganski and Salavatski to start
I got both of those this spring. My brother had some before and they died back to the ground ever year but I'm hoping I can do better with them. Do you have them?
I wish you success with hand pollinating the papaya plants.
Thanks.
Beautiful trees. How old is your Swingle?
I think about 8 years old.
I made also 4 bigger Trellises (7a Germany). Now in the 4th year I see the first flower bud - so happy! In winter time I keep them inside in a Summer house with temperature control. Good luck with your Dragons keep only one branch for each cutting.
there are two different clones .i live in the coldest region in Poland and I'm going to order Prague Citsuma from Czechia... and plant it in open field -global warming 10 yers ago there was frost -30C now only -18C
Did you plant the papaya that year ? How long did it take for your papaya from planting to producing fruits ??? How old is your papaya tree ?
Wow the Prague looks nice! I have one as well, but it’s very small.
I'm trying this in the Netherlands. I'm in zone 7b but rarely colder 14 °F. Do you have any idea why the other locations died? I started them somewhere in May, they're not bigger dan 23 inch, so probably no harvest this year. But maybe next year. Since we can have warm days in februari and march (Atlantic sea climate), I don’t know your climate, but what to do if the start sprouting before last frost?
I think you should be able to grow it fine. It never comes up to early for me.
That’s great! I tried with my calamondin but it didn’t take. I’ll be trying again though!
They look great even after the polar plunge
Huge Prague
Glad the Swingles are recovering for you! Prague steals the show, I can't wait until ours are a similar size. The last citrus looks more like a US-852 citrandarin to me. I'm probably going to have some 5star citrumelo and Bishop citrandarin cuttings available soon if you wanted to try those varieties - they're both very hardy.
Yes they are coming along nice for how cold we got. I thought the same thing about the last plant, I have a small US-852 about the same size and the leaves are a lot bigger on it so I don't know for sure what is going on but will be interesting to find out what the fruit are like. Thanks for the offer on the the 5 star citrumelo and Bishop citrandarin but I already got some this spring, but I'll keep that in mind if they don't make it through the winter. Have you ever grown carolina lime or dragon lime?
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 you're welcome! Yes I have one specimen of each, I'm keeping the carolina lime in a pot in an unheated greenhouse and the dragon lime is in our test orchard. Both are growing very nicely for their first season, I'll show them off in a video soon.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 I have yet to try carolina lime yet though, but we did get to sample dragon lime when unripe (green) and ripe (orange) and found it tasted like a more bitter lime when green, and had a bitter lime/mandarin flavor when orange. We'll see how it tastes grown here in NC however, those fruit were taken from Stan's tree in SC which is not in the best of health.
Does Prague root well from cuttings? Would you be willing to sell me some cuttings?
I have tried to root that with no luck so far. I have heard of some people doing it though. Stan the citrus man sells Prague, he is a great guy, just give him a call.
@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 yeah I've tried for more rhan a year lol. He is out of them whenever I contact him. How old is ur prague?
Impressive fruit set on your Prague!
Some branches are better then others. I thought the fruit set was not that good for how many flowers it had but I know it has trouble setting fruit.
How cold did you get?
Got down to 0F this last winter.
Nice job! Very impressive!!
Have you ever had your Thomasville air layered?
I have not. I might should try it though, have you? I have thomasville seedlings I sprouted and did not need more thomasville yet.(:
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 I have not. I am currently 3 weeks into trying to air layer my brown select. I have 1 little Thomasville that I just bought that I wanted to try it with.
can u sent me a air rooting cutting ?
sorry, but I don't have any extras.
Nice job on the air layer. How long did it take to root?
About 5 weeks.
想买这些南瓜种子
想买这些南瓜种子
how is the fruit? there are some named cultivars available... was thinking of getting one specifically a dwarf. "Elegant" is the name
The taste on the one I have are not that good, pretty puckering like a green persimmons. It is just a wild one I bought though and i hear some of the name kinds are better.
I think they make good preserves and jams. I’m amazed that you can grow this - I thought anywhere in the South was too warm.
I had 3 trees and this is the only one that made it. it seems to like it here pretty well. For the next week everyday is over 100F here.
I do the shuffle in and out with the passion fruit in pots for fall and spring, works well and I get fruit. Taitri is very hardy, has got to be the hardiest 50% hybrid I think. My Prague is grafted to it
If you had a bigger pot, you probably could have put some river rocks on the bottom to make it more stable. Not too many rocks though, because you would have to move it to overwinter. Either way, if you have a dolly, you should be able to move without too much strain.
They get super gangly and top heavy. I gave up growing them because I hated hauling these super heavy, prickly things in and out of the greenhouse. Best of luck with yours!
I know what you mean, the pot is already heavy and I'm going to have to get it in to the house come winter.
@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 Hopefully you get a harvest before too long.
Looks great 👍🏼 How are you going to over winter them?
Bring them in the house.(: Would love to get a big full heated greenhouse some day but for no this will have to work.
@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 Ok, I'm thinking about getting one
Relaxing garden tour!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks.
Best of luck sir!
Thank you.
You definitely should add many more 50% trifoliate hybrids!
I have a lot more already, I'll show them in a later video. Most of them have trouble living here because of cold.
Is it absolute cold, or do they tend to break dormancy early and then get damaged?
@@CitrusPalmsWithTom Some of both. All my citrange died a few years ago when we went down to 0f. Alot of them try to come out to early in the spring which can set them back.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 that is a problem, particularly with citranges. Citrumelos are better.
that mulberry is loaded. my "dwarf" mulberry didn't sprout this spring. not sure what happened but will have to try again. the fruit kinda sucked though it was tiny.
Each one of my trees are different in taste and berry size, but all came from one mother tree.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 nice, how long did it take for them to fruit? there's so many trees growing wild around town, might just clip a branch and go from there but if I can plant seeds might try that too
looks like a strong trellis! i'm just using a tomato cage but it's anything but sturdy lol
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
i grow it in hagerstown, so far its growin healthy and strong
Congrats. You dit it wrong and you’ll need about 10 seeds to successfully germinate if you even want a hope if getting a single fruit
Frkn wonderful! All of them! 😍
Slick Prague seedlings 🌱
Thanks! I'm looking forward to see what they become. I tried email you about the TaiTri seedlings but my email is having trouble, did you get it?
Thats pretty amazing that the sugar cane survived -1 degrees. Good luck with the papayas
I had no idea that it would do it. But it seems to be doing fine.
bru can you give me seeds pumpkin please
Wow nice❤😊
Isn't Prague a chimera? If it is, it seems doubtful you would get the same or similar plant from its seeds. The seeds would likely produce flying dragon fruit.
I'm in 8a Georgia. I've tried papayas, they grew quite tall, but never flowered. I think the season is too short.
I had it flower and fruit last year but the fruit did not get ripe.
@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 that's awesome!
Even if papayas don’t fully ripen, you can grind them up and use them. They make an excellent Asian slaw as green fruit.
I'll have to try that if they don't get ripe. Do you have a recipe?
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 any slaw recipe will work.
@@sweethomealabamahomestead4504 Green papaya selling in Asian markets like green veggies. You can slice them to Use in soup, stir-fried, making pickles. In soup, cook them with beef, pork, They taste best with shirmps. Brown minced garlic, Onion in old. Add in chicken broth, Or water. Add sugar, salt, fish sauce, chicken powder, wine to taste. Add in Sliced green papaya, then shirmps. Bring to boiled then try the GP to the softness you'd like. Garnish with sliced green onion, cilantros, sliced hot chilli, fried onions, pepper. Eat thIs alone or with steamed rice. All kind Of green pickle making have similar method. Making boiled water then let them cool to room temp. Add in Sugar, salt, vinegar, a bit of wine, until it taste right to you ( A lot of sugar, less salt generous amount of vinegar, a bit of wine) depends on the amount of papaya. Add in green papaya, sliced carrots, cut cabbages to 3" squared, You can add in cauliflower, broccoli, green./red pepper, jalepenos. As you like. Keep them outside a day then they are good to eat, Put them in sterile bottles ( washed , dry then washed Inside with boiled water). Then keep them in the fridge to stop the fermentation process. if they got too sour, rInse them with water. You can keep them in the fridge about 7-10 days without preservatives. These pickles can be eaten along with BBQ meats, braised fish, meats.. Search for Thai green papaya salad for a recipe Of the salad. You can used boiled shirmps, sliced steamed pork belly, or stirfried bEef interchange in the recipes.
I spread a packet of variety seed about 10 years ago around an old fence line>>I have mulberry everywhere>>>>Mulberry are easily propigated>>This year I am trying it's cousin>>>CHE TREE...Easily propigated just like Mulberry
its crazy to see such a large prague bush having one tiny fruitlet quite dissapointing actually lol what could this be caused of? cold winter last year?
how old is it?
Looking good!
I just love how as time passes your garden changed ! You're going towards a syntropic system unconsciously I think. In any case, it's awesome what you do, I can't wait to have my piece of land and do the same !
