Gary, thanks so much! Your classes are so informative and useful! You are blessed to live in such a climate you can grow almost whatever outdoors🙂 I hope someday you’ll make a class on mango growing as well))
my passion fruit vine in my house fences are at present in full blooms and fruitful and is hangings all over the vine on the fences....this is the second year of this vine to bear its fruits...last year I harvested some few and theywere okey on the kitchen table...for me as far as I took it but really don’t know the difference from a full volume grown passion fruit.....I just wanna ask,...how long should I keep the fruits on the vine for its full fruit volume before a good harvest....thanks for counsel, Gary
I have had lower back pain for the last 4 months. I have tried 4 different strategies to fix the problem and I plan on growing in 3'-4' raised beds for fall hard squash and pea varieties. Any future classes on raised beds and vegetables ? Thanks Gary, you re the best so cal gardner by far
Gary, I am having trouble with flowers not pollinating on my Fredrick passion fruit. Many bees and insects in the area, but 90%+ of the flowers go unpollinated. Any suggestions? Plant is otherwise looking healthy. Three years old in a half wine barrel.
Hi everybody! My passiflora vine is 1 year old and grows indoors, it’s over 3 meters, many branches. What to do to make it flower and fruit faster? Should I cut it shorter? What fertilizer to use better?
I would imagine that many variants of these fruits are being tested in Africa?!?!?!?! You couldn't get a better and as large an area for orchards and farms?!?!?!
i fertilize organically with compost on top but all these plants (pineapple, papaya, passionfruit plus persimmon) are still having suffocation issues in clean soil even pineapples in those tiny pots in a green house seem to not like being watered, do these plants only grow in bare soil in nature with no mulch or something? just straight up dont need fertilizer or microbes? how else would they feed in nature if they cant handle the soil being covered by organic matter.. i must not be understanding something properly
Funny,, I have been growing 4 pineapple plants, 2 from cutting the tops off of pineapples I ate,, and two that were nursery grown and had young pineapples on them that I purchased from my local grocery store sold as ornamentals. All are living in water only. They're doing fine! Almost 3 years now!
@@newmoon54 they cant be too healthy without nutrients surely? it des seem that pine apples dont need much, mine are in tiny pots and still growing, one actually started rotting a little bit but repotted them n put em outside so should be good with all that air flow

These are so helpful. Please keep them coming!
Thank you for another well done lesson

Yes!!! We can hear clearly and loud now, thank you for using the microphone.
Very interesting and helpful, thank you!
Any update on the Purple Tiger/Ruby Glow pollination experiment, Gary?
All these fruit trees can grow in zone b and up with with proper winter protection and microclimate.

My passion fruit vine stopped flowering about 4 weeks ago. Is that normal for this time of the year?
For me, yes. Sudden heat or change in weather has done that to my passion fruit.
