I got fruit off my Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree that I ordered early this year. I planted it in the ground on March 10 in central Louisiana. The frosts haven`t affected the leaves much so far and the tree has thrived. I pruned it back to shape it in early September and it began blooming and I had fruit until late November. The berries were really good and the wild birds loved them too. The trunk is already over 2 inches thick.
2 inches thick already?? That's great that you're harvesting within the first year! We get fruit year-round in central Florida, and my children love to constantly pick fresh mulberries.
What’s Massachusetts. I got a banana in Massachusetts I know I’ll have to bring my plant inside in the fall but I have to bring in my lotus plants also
I have two California Brown Turkey fig trees in Louisiana. They may have to be removed due to very late ripening and splitting open like a blooming flower in the rain and nighttime humidity but the few unspoiled fruits were very sweet and tasted like very ripe peaches. I`m gonna get the TX Everbearing from you first after reading the description because nobody has ever explained the variety before and I was wary of it. Maybe later on I can graft its prunings and other types too to the stumps of the BT trees. I`m waiting now on 4 mystery "Celeste" trees to identify themselves next year by producing fruit. I saw a "deal" and I`m not sure what I have. I hope they aren`t the dreaded Magnolia variety. I have no use for them here and never eat canned figs. But the leaves are very strange and large with long narrow fingers. The trees aren`t vigorous though...very tight leaf nodes and very vertical slow branch growth with pinkish leaf stems.
Sounds like you're helping drive the fig trend in Louisiana! The Texas Everbearing is an underrated fig variety. I've never quite understood why more people don't give it a shot. I'd be glad to hear and update on its growth in LA once you get it.
@@wellspringgardens um no i don't also i decided to just add a bunch of insulation to the greenhouse so that way i don't have to run heat 24/7 during winter
Comment with your state and I’ll tell you what your state’s top plant was!

Massachusetts favored a North American-native flowering plant: The Trumpet Honeysuckle Coral.

now that i think of it its actually easier to have tropicals inside a house then to keep a greenhouse heated during winter
Yes, because you’ve already heated your house - your plants could just piggy back off that heat. Do you have a garage?
@@wellspringgardens um no i don't also i decided to just add a bunch of insulation to the greenhouse so that way i don't have to run heat 24/7 during winter
I have a brand new cold weather grow tent that I'm not going to use. If you want it, I'll send it to you for free.
@@wellspringgardens yeah sure i am willing to take a grow tent i will also try out the panel heater for the greenhouse i'm excited
Can you send me a message on Instagram or an email to media (@) wellspringgardens.com with your mailing address, etc?
California- but I order more alocasia/colocasia
Hey! I know you from Instagram. That’s right, you’re the Elephant Ear 👸
What about az?
It wasn't even close: Sherbet Berry was by far the favorite.
What about Alaska?
We do not ship to Alaska, but the Blue Hawaii Colocasia would've been their No. 1.
What about Missouri ?
I feel like you had a hand in making an Elephant Ear be MO's No.1 plant: Coal Miner Colocasia!
@ ha!
