  • The story of Eddy's seedling avocado: www.thesurvival...
    Eddy is a long-time friend of mine who loves to garden, even when he has very little space. In this yard he has yams, soursop, tamarind, avocado, bees, cherries and more. Today he shares how he got his soursop to fruit fast, plus warns me repeatedly not to fall into the pool.

      How do I hand pollinate my soursop flowers? It’s a four year old tree from Seedling and this is the first year that it flowered.

    I need the nailing the tree technique. I would have a hard time with the soursop tree tea because to my nose it gives off the scent of cat pee. I love the long neck avocados they are delicious, trying to sprout a seed right now. Love the flow of your conversation and it makes me even happier for you and Rachel that you are back around family and old friends again just watching this older video. Whamo! in the eye, a reason why I will never have bees. My face would have blown up like those jumbo exercise balls. Jealous of his plants and especially Barbados cherry. I want some vick’s plant.

    The spickly pod tree is called Annoto we have alot in Jamaica What is annatto?
    Annatto is an orange-red food coloring or condiment made from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana), which grows in tropical regions in South and Central America (1Trusted Source).
    It has several other names, including achiote, achiotillo, bija, urucum, and atsuete.
    It’s most commonly used as a natural food coloring, as it imparts a bright color that ranges from yellow to deep orange-red, similar to saffron and turmeric.
    Its color comes from compounds called carotenoids, which are pigments that are found in the seed’s outer layer and many other fruits and vegetables, such as carrots and tomatoes.
    Additionally, annatto is used as a condiment to enhance the flavor of dishes due to its slightly sweet and peppery taste. Its aroma is best described as nutty, peppery, and
    Though it may not be well known, an estimated 70% of natural food colors are derived from it (1Trusted Source).

  • @linaD08
    @linaD08 7 років тому +10

    I threatened my soursop and avocado with doom (cutting them down) and they produced the following year....
    they can sense their impending fate.... I also think heavy pruning triggers re production.
    The red berry used for coloring is called bija (Bixa Orellana) or Annato/Achiote in the Dom Rep. I believe it has no nutritional value other than the coloring used in latin cuisine.
    My soursop is full of blooms right now. Traditionally it gives me fruit in the fall but it gave me six fruits in the spring for the first time this year.
    Great video!!

    Hey David, you do not need have nails on your guanabana tree to produce fruits...in fact, in 2-3 years old the plant starts producing ok, only depending of, the variety, sun light and heat...good job for you and Eddy...oh, and about Bixa Orellana, a native Amazonian tree here in Brazil, named Urucum, a native indian word, people regularly use it in different ways...like a condiment, to put color on foods, to renew skin, like a sun blocker lotion and, mainly, to protect skin against insects like mosquitos ok...I have one in my backyard also

Here in Guam we call that tree "Achote" but to better extract the red fluid from it, works better with warm water, and letting the seed soak, then you can drain with a strainer as well.

    I have 3 fig trees, but the 1st one I had for 10 years and no fruit. I was walking one day with my dog and I kicked that tree as hard as I could and told it if it didn't give me some figs, it was coming down. 2 weeks later, I had 5-6 delicious figs. Strangest thing ever. I hope it does better next year. I planted two more and then I got 3 blueberry bushes that I plan to overwinter in pots because the stalks are too thin to put in the ground, but I'm interested in the nail tricks. I have had 2 knee replacements and I'm not too keen on kicking more trees.

    Hope the bees are registered with the State. The state will fight for you if you have problems with the neighbors they will also test the bees to see if they're Africanized.

    Hi David, I love your spirit and enthusiasm. We have a Sour soup tree. I notice the leaves being with white fungus. Any suggestions?
