Climate helps a lot! Hope you are progressing well mate, been in our thoughts.

I like the challenge of hinting thrives!

Yes, thank you

Thanks for watching my itty bitty channel Ewa! My COTRG trees took at least 6 years to start flowering. My older one is now about 9 years old and my 6 year old tree has its first couple of fruits that aren't ripe yet, can't wait to try those ones. They flower profusely but don't set many fruit, I'm hoping some cross pollination helps.

@@dougs_urbanfarm Thank you. Enjoy watching your vidoes a lot! Especially because we are nearly neighbours and can grow the same fruit. You have a quite few interesting varieties in your food forest. Cheers!

Cheers Neil, their hand will be red if I catch them.😉

When are you going to make a video of your trees Marisa? I would be keen to check them out!

@@qpl88 you will when the peaches are ripe they will just start to be a little soft, this is the perfect time to eat them. Lol purple mangosteen , I wish! I have planted a heap of seeds from my canistel and will graft a bunch, so you can have one. They are like sweetpotato pie, the difference between a good one and a bad one is a lot, I've never found a good one at fruit markets

@@dougs_urbanfarm some of the peaches look good so I’ll confirm the firmness tomorrow and hopefully can report a successful outcome. It sounds like an interesting fruit to try, I’d be heaps appreciative of that but I feel like a hobo expecting stuff off you 😅 I can try source from marketplace

Also I tried to see if purple mangosteens were possible for us but everywhere I looked said it was strictly tropical, bummer. I ended up getting a Lucs garcinia from the eBayer up north, which I think you might use. I’ll be looking at your vid again re repotting. I find his stuff is always tricky

@qpl88 all good mate, there is a difference between me offering stuff and people begging/harassing me for free things, believe me it happens! Sent you a video on messenger

@@freespirit2194 yes those canistel are so much better if they fully ripen on the tree.

Hey Paul my pink limeberry is about 10 years old, but only 3m high. It is always covered in fruit

@@dougs_urbanfarm thanks mate. Mine looks about 4 years old

Dry subtropics. In western suburbs of Brisbane Australia. About 40km from the ocean.

@@dougs_urbanfarm Do you irrigate with well water?

@@Blackdog1811 no I am in a suburban area and use town water after it goes through filtration to remove chlorine and soften it.

Yeah they have an amazing flavour, my climate is the dry subtropics so plants take a bit longer to fruit here.

Hey Brett, hope you are doing well. Yeah these garcinias and plinias should be 8 to 10 years and some of the eugenias might fruit sooner. It doesn't really matter as I have so many other trees in the ground that every year a new tree flowers. For example I have flowers on male and female imbe trees this year. I was 50 this year so by the time I am 60 should have 100s of fruiting trees, my semi retirement will be selling rare fruit, that's the dream.

Cheers Jason, yeah Cherapu are one tropical plant that might be able to spend its life in a pot, so I can put it in a greenhouse each winter. Good on you making time to go out exercising. I usually walk my dog in the afternoons, and as I do construction am on my feet and climbing ladders all day. I will try to catch your livestreams if the time zones allow.

Um, no we will keep it thanks G!😉

@@dougs_urbanfarm 🤣

I'll do a video about the land once I'm out there and sort out where the orchards going. It's on my brother in laws property he bought to retire on, it's 100 acres, 2 hours from me and he's giving me 5 to 10 acres to plant trees on. And yes I might bird net the whole orchard

@@dougs_urbanfarm I'll look forward to that video. Cover some of that area and go ultra tropical.

It's not actually mine,I'm leasing 5 to 10 acres off a family member who is retiring on 100 acre property 2 hours from me. But yes I will definitely keep everyone updated once I start setting up the orchard there.

@@dougs_urbanfarm cool 😎 Hopefully your friend doesn’t mind you filming on the property.

Yeah he's fine with me filming, it's my wife's brother that I've known for 25 years.

Not as good as yours Alastair, but I'm doing my best!

Cheers Ben, once I have sorted out the land I will do a video about it. Looking forward to planting 5 acres of rare fruit trees.

Lol Andy, I like dedication as a description, sounds better than addiction!

Hopefully I can get some of these fruiting in a few years, ready for you to try when you come and visit.

@@dougs_urbanfarm can’t wait

Ola Paul.😉 South America is where all good stuff is! Yes it's a Myrciaria sp gin and tonic, and yes I am a sucker for a cool name.

@@dougs_urbanfarm you have an enviable collection mate

Cheers mate, I since ate a really ripe coco cream and it was amazing, I have flowers on my orange sherbert,lemon meringue and lemon zest so hopefully do a taste test of these this summer. My cotton candy,fruit punch,sweet tart, taiwan gold and kasturi won't fruit till the following year. This spring I am going to a fellow stfc members farm that has 330 varieties of mangos, will do a video of that.

Thanks, Evelyn. I don't really know what I am doing, but I like to have a go and am happy to share my success or failure. I hope to inspire people to plant more edible plants/fruit.

For sure mate, it's what I live for!

@@dougs_urbanfarm With you there!

So do I Desi!

Yeah you are right , I had another really yellow ripe one and it definitely had a coconut flavour, like the flavour of the young coconut flesh.

I use my home-made compost, and an organic rock based mineral based fertiliser, I also foliar feed with seeweed a few times a year

Yeah Thomas they are beautiful!

Cheers Johnny

Cheers Brett , still thinking of you, and wishing you all the best with whatever you are going through

@@dougs_urbanfarm going in to hospital tomorrow as it happens 🤞

Yeah I've found that out, I am patient as I have a lot of garcinias and plinias that take a long time to fruit.

Couldn't agree more!

Thank you, that's very kind.🙏

Yeah Neil, I need to fill the greenhouse, it looks embarrassingly empty! Thanks for the reminder.😉

Haha Paul, there is no cure, just medication!

Thanks Patrick, I actually have some ubes twice the size of these ones, trying to muster the energy to dig them up!
