    What zone are you in? I had one I planted in ground cut to 3 ft tall and stuck a big 3’ wide tomatoe cage stuffed with leaves for insulation. Zone 8- but got down to about 15 degrees for two nights. Came back but then the branches were so slow to grow and eventually just died altogether. Will try cutting down to ground I guess….any other tips? I really don’t want to just grow in pot.

      Thanks for watching. I'm in zone 9b, so it doesn't get too cold for them in my area. Moringa trees don't like cold weather. They are such fast growing trees, growing in containers doesn't work very well. Cutting them back and putting the cage around them, like you did, is the best way to try and get them through the winter in colder areas, because they don't like colder weather.

      I put cuttings in 16 oz clear cups so I can see when they get roots. Then I put another cup over the top of the cutting to help with moisture. Black Madeira are slower growing, so may take a little longer to root.

      They're not the easiest plant to graft. Somehow a fungus usually attacks both the scion & grafting union. The seeds are super easy to germinate sometimes they're already germinating in the fruit. I'm wondering if you sanitize the grafting tools as well as probably treating both the rootstock & scion with some kinda anti fungal treatment would minimize or eliminate fungus infestation?

    I have a desert gold peach tree, planted two years ago. It's only about 5 feet tall at the moment and produces fruit only about the size of a golf ball. Can I expect the peaches to be bigger as the tree grows bigger? It's a little disappointing seeing the peaches grow only to the size of a golf ball. Btw, I'm in Nevada. Soil conditions are not the best.

      I check the pH of the soil at least once a month, to make sure it is in the correct range. To lower pH I add sulfur. There are different kinds of sulfur. Native sulfur only breaks down when temperatures are above 80°F. So in the winter I use ammonium sulphate, because it will break down at lower temperatures. Also sometimes I will put cup of vinegar in a gallon of water and pour it around the perimeter of the trees. I keep the pH of the soil on the East side of the house between 6.0 & 7.0

      Fignomenal Fig trees are suppose to be dwarf trees that don't get bigger than 3 feet tall, so you should be able to leave it in a 5 to 10 gallon container. I have several varieties of fig trees in containers. In containers you need to add fertilizer once every month or two, because the fertilizer washes out when you water them. I try to put the containers where they get morning sun and afternoon shade.

      Thanks for watching. Are you sure it's fertilizer burn? The water pH in my area is 7.5 and avocado trees want a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, so they can absorb nutrients unless the pH is in that area. I add sulfur to keep the pH under 7.0

      ​It gets sun from noon onwards. Seems to be enough to produce plenty of flowers. As far as the soil, it's covered in mulch with a very active population of critters breaking it down into black gold. So it doesn't seem to me like it would be lacking any nutrients. I hear they're not supposed to be fussy. I'm hoping one of these days it will surprise me 🙂

    I bought one at the same time, and the taste does resemble sour cherry which I absolutely love. The only thing is I picked the fruit when it was fairly unripe, and it had just a slightest hint of bitterness , but overall even slightly unripe I did not hate the fruit at all. The tree is amazing, it keeps on flowering and producing new fruit. The picture is incorrect, the photo is of a sweet cherry, I was honestly nervous of trying the fruit at first because I thought it would be terrible, luckily it’s a good tasting fruit.

      I have 26 varieties of Figs trees which have fruit May thru November. Citrus starts ripening December thru March. Five varieties of bananas that ripen on their own time line, any time of the year. Loquats ripen February to March. Apricot that ripen in June. Six varieties of Nectarines that ripen May thru September. So there are different fruit ripening pretty much every month of the year, but it takes years for these different trees to mature to the stage where these trees give you a full production.
