@@moemac777 hi there! I now have that plant in ground and I was just looking at the current flowers on it. They look very strong. I have a video called "Tu's inspiring garden" and it shows his lychee in Melbourne which gets heaps of fruit

@@rajindersinghraju8644 yes it is 👌

@@der-gus hello, sorry for the late reply. In my experience once they are big trees, no frost damage occurs on the leaves. They are very hardy once the whole trunk gets thick and becomes brown. But yes, you have to baby them while small. Cheers

Hello, yes I also tried from seed and it seems very hard unless you are in a favourable climate zone for lychee

It is an air layered plant. Variety Tai So

@@mirabilo hi, it is a bit tricky to peel as the fruit is quite soft. I just eat around the skin

@UrbanBounty i bought a Kampong WS at the start of winter over eBay after watching this video. I paid $110, and it was in diabolical condition. Even had scale on it. I've nursed it into better health. I've only got room along the front fence near the street, so I don't want to eat the skin.

@mirabilo it is easy to avoid eating the skin. Sorry to hear that your tree was in bad condition. The thing to watch for with these while youngish is to always pick off any new growth below the graft as soon as you see it. I also got a white sapote that was almost dead, a reineke variety and since trimming offtge rootstock growth it has really bounced back. It evenhas a few fruit, in a pot

@@UrbanBounty thanks for that advice.

@@mirabilo anytime. Ask me anything here or at Jaboticaba1978@gmail.com Another thing I found with my Kampong, dont judge the fruit on the first taste of the first fruit. My first fruit was good but my later fruit was even better

@@myexoticfoodplants6727 thank you very much. An update on the fruitlets, about 70% have still held on and looking strong. Yes I read somewhere that the paw paw evolved before butterflies so they rely on flies which is why the flowers are the colour of meat and the scent is like meat too

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits so far they have stayed open longer tgan normal. They are still open now which is a good sign 🤞

Yes and I think the pollen can be used to make the dragon fruit flower fertile too

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp hello, we are in late spring. It is 3 weeks before summer 👌

@UrbanBounty wow. Crazy how big the world is! Do y'all have daylight savings time?

@LoganShelton-rh3lp that's very true! Yes we are currently in daylight savings time for another 5 months. Apparently, from what I have read, our climate here in Melbourne is very similar to San Francisco in the USA 🇺🇸

@@vongtaynhanaiketnoi4074 thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated 😀

@@lyonheart84 hi Brett, these plants love hanging baskets and shade. They grow in warmer months but too much sun will burn them. I have read that the pollen can also be used to pollinate Dragon Fruit. I've tastes one fruit previously on an unnamed variety and it was great, altgough small. It's like a dragon fruit but much more intense

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder G'day mate, will make more. I have read that the pollen can be used to cross pollinate dragons which could come in handy one day. The Pink Diamond Dragon here has about 12 small buds and its self fertile so if your first Dragon buds are infertile I will have some pollen

@ Thanks mate. Don’t forget I’ve got that wine barrel here for you

@TemperateTropicalDownUnder awesome mate. Will be in touch 🤝

@@matthewspatch9529 hi mate, thanks heaps. I recommend the keyboard vacuum on dragons too. Its so easy and collects all of the pollen too 👌

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 awesome, thanks for confirming about the TP. Have you ever tried to use the pollen on Dragons?

@@UrbanBounty Fir some unknown reason my Dragons don't flower until end of summer. Maybe try freezing pollen?

@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 I've always had that same trend too. They always flowered "just in time" but I noticed that this year my pink diamond which is self fertile has 12 buds right now. The only thing I did differently this year was give it a huge early prune so I could collect the cuttings to give away and a week afterwards gave them a deep watering on that hot day we had. Literally the next day, the buds were there

@UrbanBounty you might have something there with pruning also foliar feeding also helps

@@dougs_urbanfarm hey mate, the only one I have ever tasted was unnamed but really nice. Like a much smaller Dragon Fruit but much more intense and varied flavour. Actually, you could call it Dragon Fruit concentrate lol Can send cuttings when you want, they transport well and I have 9 different colours

@UrbanBounty now I'm wandering around the house looking for shady spots!😜

@dougs_urbanfarm Linton grows his on branches underneath large trees. Mine are hanging off my carport frame

@@hr1893 hi mate, thanks. The last one is called Tyalgum Purple. Apparently the pollen can be used to pollinate dragonfruit flowers too

@ Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

@@PeterEntwistle yes mate and very low maintenance and sunlight requirements

@VirginiaFruitGrower thanks mate. I got the keyboard vacuum on Amazon and it's perfect for pollen collection!

@UrbanBounty smart man

@leovidal6591 hello, thanks for watching and commenting. I am in Melbourne, Australia so I can't send anything overseas, but also all of the cuttings are now gone. Sorry about that.

Omg you’re in Melbourne! Sorry just got to the end of the video. Could you please have. Backyard tour open to interested parties please, I’d love to register and visit to understand how you are managing to grow these exotic fruits in Melbourne?! Absolutely amazing!

@@jengsterinc1176 G'day and thank you for the encouragement 😀 Are you in Melbourne too? Eventually I will do garden tours when everything is matured and bearing fruits but for now I can give advice on anything you need. My email is jaboticaba1978@gmail.com if you have any questions. Which varieties would you be interested in growing? In about 3 weeks I will film a complete garden tour, there are almost 100 plants now. Property size is just under 700sqm including house, carport and sheds. Cheers

@@shirley2644 hello, I will pot up the remaining cuttings and will write you when they take root and I can give some too you in a few months

@@UrbanBounty 😃 thanks heaps! Can’t wait to see how the cuttings go, and I really appreciate you sharing them with me. In the meantime, I'll be busy learning how to grow dragon fruit!

@shirley2644 they do best in pots or raised beds. They do not like wet feet in winter or lack of drainage and they only grow fruit on the vines that are hanging downward after growing over a structure or trellis 👌

​@@shirley2644 Hello, I have potted up several cuttings and it make take a little for them to root. I am sorry that the comment notification didn't go through for the nursery visit. I think it was because I wrote so many comments at ince that it seemed like spam and youtube therefore hid notification for some people. Just wanted to let you know I am still trying to grow them fir you. Cheers. Please let me know if this comment arrives.

@@joestropicals6760 hi Joe, yes I was going to do just a paw paw video but I wanted to film the roseapple while it was still in new growth flush because it looks so tropical and amazing. Thank you fir noticing mate! Cheers

@@srishdhanu thank you. It survived winter again and it got bigger but it loses its leaves in winter. When the new leaves get larger I will provide another update. Thank you for your comment 👌

That's great. It survived the severe winter this time

@@VirginiaFruitGrower the first crop too. Fingers crossed 🤞

Yes they are and they can get as tall as they like in that position too! Cheers Peter

Cool, I think this variety does well in containers 👍

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thanks mate! In the position the paw paw are in they can get very tall

@ I bet. I’m sure you can’t wait for a taste. Looking forward to that

@@lyonheart84 gday mate, thanks for the advice on shedding. I was worried about the weight actually if they all hung on. I didn't know George was trying NA Paw Paw too.. I wonder where he got them from. I got these 2 very mature from a nursery in the bush that even the owner had lost track of. In hindsight, a very lucky find

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits thanks mate. Of all the fruit trees, these were the hardest to source and I can't wait fir fruit 👌

Gday mate, yes I think so too. Still quite hard to find these plants

@UrbanBounty my friend Ayesha has the lewinski variety actually flowering here in Brisbane, pity she doesn't have a pollinator, lol. No one else I know has been able to keep them alive here. I think she grew it as an experiment

Just reminded me I have last years in the fridge and they’ve been in there long enough to plant now

@Coolclimatetropicalfruits gday Neil. Do you have to give them a spell in the fridge to germinate?

@@UrbanBounty yes they need cold stratification I think it was 3 months needed

I lost mine last summer ("helper" decided to turn off my watering system) and haven't been able to obtain another 😢

@@madrabbitwoman good point, I will edit the title to read "north american paw paw" Sorry to hear that you lost yours. I got mine from yamina rare plants in monbulk, Victoria

@@Backyarddragonfruits no worries, best of luck 👌

@@c17360 yes, north facing. Check out my dragonfruit fruiting vids. Most have fruited before

@@VirginiaFruitGrower awesome. Try to sneak some of your rare stuff though customs 🤣

@UrbanBounty got a big bag of stuff for you. Been ringing your doorbell. No answer. Guess I'm heading back to the US 🤭

@@VirginiaFruitGrower 🤣

@@coolmantoole thank you 👌

@@l33t5p1d0r hello, yes still possible. I will be meeting at the tropical nursery in police rd springvale in a weeks time. I will let you know in a few days.

Hello again. I have organised to meet at the Tropical fruit tree nursery at 37-39 Police Rd, Mulgrave, this Saturday 1230 til 230pm to give away the cuttings. You can write me at jaboticaba1978@gmail.com for any questions. If you need to arrange another time, thats ok as the cuttings will be ok for a few weeks, thanks. Paul

@@UrbanBounty Hello! Saturday would have been perfect but I'm sorry I missed your second reply. UA-cam sent a notification for your first reply but not your second which might have been because there was an @ mention in the first comment but not the second? I'll email you shortly and let's see if we can still arrange something. Appreciate you!

@l33t5p1d0r hello, yes I was very worried about my reply being classed as spam because I wrote the same comment multiple times. I did a community post also. Sorry about that but I'll pot some up for you

@@LT-nh5lz hello, thanks heaps for your comment. It seems most people are close to springvale so I'll call Mr Can at police road Springvale who has a tropical nursery to ask him if we can meet there are if not We can meet at gardenworld or a bunnings in the same area. I will message you here over the next day or three and organise something on the weekend,cheers

Sounds good! Bit of a heads up that due to work and what not, I usually can’t meet up until after 2pm or so on weekends.

@LT-nh5lz excellent, I'm glad that you got my comment reply in time. Cheers

@@GekkoBrother the plants themselves are 3 years old but the cuttings are current growth from this year

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder no worries mate. Let me know if you want any, cheers

@@UrbanBounty I wouldn’t feel right if I took something from you without giving you something in return. I may have some other varieties to swap with you instead

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thank you but I'm absolutely out of room for anything new. Happy to give away rather than compost them 👌

@@UrbanBounty I have around 8 or so different varieties of dragon fruit. I don’t have Trish a cutting of this would be nice. I’m happy to give you a list of what will have cuttings of if you’re curious

@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder cool, I have around 8 varieties also 👌

@@MrMaoSon thanks mate 😀

@@PeterEntwistle cheers Peter

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits thanks mate

@@KrishnaKumar-xw5wu thanks for your comment. They do get brown rot in the rain quite easily because the fruot is close together and thinning out definitely helps. I have managed to completely eradicate leaf curl of mine with 3 copper sprays in mid to late winter. I've had about 10% tasteless fruits but the rest are quite good but mine are in prime positions with heaps of nuturient in the soil

@@UrbanBounty My miniature peach is 20 yrs old grown in full sun . The fruit is ok to eat but the nectarine is tasteless . I prefer my Anzac peach and goldmine nectarine to these . I have moved house now but would not grow these miniature trees again .

@@KrishnaKumar-xw5wu ok, both mine taste satisfactory. It's hard to see a company like flemmings bothering to market and patent a fruit if it always had no taste.

@@UrbanBounty I think they market it as there’s demand for it for smaller spaces and people are ok with the taste . For me I didn’t like them at all .

@@AidanRich great. I will leave a reply here after I prune..
