@@sarahpetrea4634 that's an exciting discovery!

@@BeKindBeKindBeKind I film the video with no talking then voice over afterwards. Helps to avoid having to film multiple takes! Much easier to erase and rerecord narrations

@@byzon123 probably would be perfect depending on how cold it gets. Our root cellar room gets down to the low 40s and it's perfect

@@captiveroots3037 doesn’t get no where near freezing just stays cool all winter And being in complete darkest wont harm it ? Thanks for you reply

@byzon123 complete darkness is fine, because it will drop all of its leaves during winter. That sounds like a perfect spot for it! Cool is good so that it doesn't wake up early and start to leaf out in the dark. That's no good but only happens if it's too warm in late winter/early spring

That's a great question! To be honest I'm not sure because most of our trees are grafted, but all of the fruit I've purchased from people growing select seedlings has been pretty good. I would say you have a much better chance with pawpaw than something like apples, where there's so much variance from the parent plant

@@captiveroots3037 thanks so much:)

It does spread quite quickly, which was actually our original plan for a privacy screen and also why we have so many. Then we made the decision to fence in the yard so these had to be moved around a few times. They are very hardy though!

@@WhispersInTheGarden Thank you!

To keep the plant dormant .. if it gets too warm it will wake up and leaf out early, which then means it needs to be managed under proper lighting and so forth until it can go back outside

We have found that lots of good organic material in the soil helps a lot with yield. That and steady water. If your plants are large and healthy you should have good yield.

@@trippingwithpippy2317 we've had a few really good wild ones, but it's very rare .. I guess it's a lot like wild apples, many of which are spitters!

@@mgrifi I fertilize 3-4 times during the summer with a water soluble fertilizer, but nothing once the leaves drop off. Just don't let the soil get totally dried out when the plant is dormant. Dry is much better than wet soil, just not bone dry. I water once or twice all winter, and just a tiny bit. For soil, I would address that when you pot them up to a bigger container. As long as the plant is healthy and happy I pretty much let the soil be, aside from the fertilizer.

@@captiveroots3037 Thank you so so much for getting back to me, and so quickly too! Okay, I will leave the potted tree be for this season, and next summer I will either put it in a larger pot or plant it.

Wash them with plain water to get any fruit pulp off, then put them in a Ziploc bag in the fridge until next spring. Then you can plant them in the spring. Don't freeze them, and don't let them dry out. You can add a little peat moss or seed starter mix to the bag too but I never have. The idea is to keep them moist in the bag, but if they are slightly moist when they go in then the bag will trap plenty of moisture to keep the seeds viable.

@@captiveroots3037 Thank you very much!

@@GoranOgnjanovic-q8p I appreciate your informative response, thank you! I've noticed lately that when it comes to names of plants that marketing often takes precedence over factual accuracy. That bugs me because I like to be as accurate as I can. We actually do something similar to what you describe (hanging peppers to dry) with a different pepper sold as "Macedonian Pepper" here in the states. I made a video on them last year. They're long, red, somewhat spicy and have stripes on them and they dry incredibly well just by hanging up in the kitchen for a few months. Thank you again for taking the time to watch and also leave a detailed comment. I appreciate it and I learned quite a bit both from what you shared and also researching the history you mentioned.

@@GoranOgnjanovic-q8p I forgot to add: the images of all the peppers are incredible! I can only imagine how good it smells there when all the peppers are hung. I will definitely try it that way with some of our garden peppers one year!

@@captiveroots3037 That's interesting, Macedonians and Serbs are exactly the same people and we are brothers. Skoplje, capital of Macedonia used to be capital of Serbia in the medeival times. Today Greeca and Bulgaria and even Albania are trying to steal Macedonia. Anyway, Macedonia that also has another old name "old Serbia" has so many products made of paprika (more then Hungarians definitely) and one of them is "ajvar". Roasted paprika and ground into a beautiful winter salad. You can buy this in the USA (or order from some of our brands, distributors). And I'm glad you guys call it Macedonian paprika instead of Hungarian or paprika pepper :) Have fun!

@@captiveroots3037 We just hung some here on Long Island, not over the whole house of course hahah. But yes, those villages and nearby city of Leskovac even have paprika festival that you are definitely invited to visit. Another amazing festival is called Roštiljijada (barbecue festival), is a great time to visit city of Leskovac. One of the best bbq in the world.

Thank you, and that 1-10 scale is a great idea! I think I'll institute something like that in future videos, as I have a bunch of apple and pepper videos coming up! 1. For productivity, I would say 7- 10 per day once they get going (for one plant). So if you don't pick every day you'll have 15-20+ at a time in their peak. 2. These are about mid season in terms of ripening. 3. Flavor: Id say 7-8. The texture really adds to these too! 4. These are a nice uniform size all season, pretty close to a golf ball size.

@@captiveroots3037 VERY DESCRIPT! Thank you! I’m thankful you like the 1-10 rating. I think it will help your viewers decide which cultivars to grow. Great answers. Thanks!

That would definitely work I would think! They are such great peppers!

@@CherylLeMay hello, and thank you for subscribing! In the fall I do the reverse but not quite as involved. I pretty much find a shady spot somewhere for about a week then I just spray the plants with a mild insecticide like Captain Jacks to kill any bugs and bring them inside and put them right under the lights. It seems to work pretty well and doesn't stress the plants out as much as going outside does in spring. I've purchased many online from four winds growers, which is a great source. I've also picked some up at local Lowe's, Walmart and Tractor Supply stores over the years.

@@oscarc6800 it is different but I've never tried double gold. Fall Gold has incredible flavor, so I can't imagine a better raspberry!

They are such a great tomato!

@@nokneesisaiah Unfortunately the company seems to have been bought out and downsized... I don't think they're selling them this year

@@marlenemccaffrey6731 It works great but I use it sparingly. In ground there's really less of a need because we use so much compost and shredded leaves in the fall but in containers it really helps.

@@kevintodd8195 It could be a number of things... What type of soil are you using? In ground or in a container?

They are so much fun! It had been a couple of years since we last grew them and we definitely missed them

@@lissetteamores9058 I'll have to give these another try next year, so many comments about how tasty they are! I think growing them in a container and not in a premium spot probably contributed to them not ripening until it got cold, which likely affected flavor

@@yesimcelebi8135 thank you! Good point about sunshine too. There's so many things to consider that you often only realize afterwards when it comes time to plant gardens

@@aethertech that's really odd... I wonder if it was some sort of mutation in that one plant... That happens with apples pretty frequently where one branch will spontaneously have different fruit for no apparent reason (not grafted or anything like that)

Thank you for watching and I'm glad this was helpful! These are so much easier than anything evergreen like citrus...

Thank you!

@@adelinaprentice4703 thank you! There's nothing quite like building your own landscape from the ground up .. so rewarding!

@@bugscranks7605 right now is the perfect time! Next year's fruit buds should be well developed now

Bonide fruit tree spray with plant guard. Once at petal fall and once mid July.

@@captiveroots3037 so poison chemicals? Or are you using an organic spray?

@@marisaphoenix1893 yeah, sadly I found that we need to spray at least a little. The new Bonide is far less harsh in terms of the chemicals, but not organic. It's more the fungicides that are nasty. Something like Captain Jacks is organic and works great for pests, but when it comes to diseases I haven't found an organic solution that works for scab or rust.

@@captiveroots3037 you might as well eat those chemicals out the bottle. Can’t be washed off the fruit. They absorb.

@marisaphoenix1893 I should also say it's just the apples .. peaches, pawpaw, cherries, pears and plums don't get sprayed at all and don't seem to need it. When it comes to sprays every gardener has to figure out what works best for their situation. It's a lot less than an apple from an orchard, which will spray multiple times a season and with the same chemicals. I've tried not spraying some years and results just weren't worth the effort.

@@brendasierra2941 have you tried starting them from seed inside first? A 20-30 gallon grow bag with miracle grow for soil ought to work. You might need to put them in partial shade if it gets too sunny/hot where you are.

@@krizm yup, 30 gallon grow bag for these .. perfect size

@@quinettathomas3247 thank you! It has become our preferred way to deal with large stumps in the yard!

@@WhispersInTheGarden they're the best, especially in the fall!

They pretty much always overwinter for us, even in a cold year. They don't do much of anything in January/February but they'll grow pretty much the rest of the year

Thank you for the suggestion, I'm always looking for strongly scented roses!
