Your nursery videos is the biggest motivation for me get my driver's license I'll have to say. Would love to pick up stuff from places like this. I _do_ need a greenhouse too though... Thanks for these videos!
Thanks for the wonderful comment. I’m really glad the videos encourages others to want to visit some of these nurseries, they’re a great excuse for some road-trips.
Yes, this nursery is excellent .. they have a lot of rare citrus and the owners are super friendly. *Also they are only 5 minutes walk away from Oscar Tintori nursery.
Another impressive nursery Dom. Some of the large plants have probably lost their labels over the years although i reckon they will know what most of the plants are and if they arent sure they can just flog them off cheap to Plants4Presents 😉🤣
Yes, Maurizio, the owner, and his son, Pietro, seem to know where everything is … they also have his wife and her sister working there also . The ladies were busy grafting when I was there.
Seeing that fruiting Mango has peaked my interest in the plant again. I imagine it's planted in the usual heavy clay substrate but they didn't look unhealthy.
@@MoebiusUK I imagine that one can use a denser substrate, such as a clay loam, when growing plants under glass. But as long as a clay loam does not have too much organic matter mixed in, the roots can be in direct contact with water without the risk of fungal spores germinating.
Incredible size of citrus trees, just goes to show how huge citrus trees can get even when grown in containers. I can already see that I am going to have some difficulties overwintering some of my citrus undercover if I do not prune them.
Wow, those mangos looked full-size, very surprising considering the pot size 😱. A very impressive collection of citrus. It does seem odd that they don't label everything, perhaps they have it all written down on a map/diagram so they can find what they are after when they are picking orders? Or like you said they are just able to identify them because they are so used to seeing them.
@@PeterEntwistle Yes, they’re not as fastidious as Oscar Tintori when it comes to organising their individual plants. … but they do have some interesting rarer varieties, when one can find them. I was shocked to see full-size mango growing in those small nursery pots. Definitely makes me want to consider growing one. These were ‘Osteen’, I should have grabbed a plant from the French nursery.
@@MoebiusUK How much longer are you out there for? Or have you already got back? I think the palm tree company were selling Osteen mangos earlier in the year, I think Brett got one from them. I almost ordered one when I ordered the Fuerte avocado from them, but they didn't say either the avocado or mangos were going to be grafted so I didn't end up risking ordering the mango. I'm kicking myself now of course lol 😂
@@PeterEntwistle I cant recall for sure but I don't think the mango I got has a variety name on it, just says mango. It hasnt grown so much as a single leaf all summer although it is still alive
Yes. They're very friendly and leave you to roam, pick up and examine plants. Agrumi Lenzi and Oscar Tintori are only minutes away from eachother. Oscar Tintori also has a 'Hesperidium' .. This is a place where they show their really best specimens of each variety ... It's amazing. Unfortunately it closes early on the weekend so I didn't record it this time but I toured it last year.
what a great video. keep up the good work. spread the word, you should have way more subscribers...

@@MoebiusUK Yeah they'll be on my list for the future! Cheers man. Keep the plant content coming.
Wow the size of that Pomelo, what a fabulous place to visit. Amazing to see a full size mango fruit on such a young sapling.😍
It must smell INCREDIBLE when they are all in bloom in early spring!
Yes, it does. Also you can hear the bees going crazy.
The family who run that business have chosen an amazing career path.
@@MoebiusUK If they kept hives they could produce amazing honey from those bees
Good gracious, another place I'd love to visit!

Gosh, what a tantalizing selection! Those mangoes are impressive. This is better than Kew Gardens!

@@lyonheart84 ah, right. I think Louis and Nirmala had Osteen labelled on their mangos; I assumed yours was the same.
@@PeterEntwistleYou guys were lucky to get the specimens you ended up with.
I get back tomorrow … long trip.
Are regular customers allowed to go into the greenhouse by themselves? I would love to visit Oskar tintori
Yes. They're very friendly and leave you to roam, pick up and examine plants.
Agrumi Lenzi and Oscar Tintori are only minutes away from eachother.

Best time to visit is Spring / Summer ... The smell of thousands of citrus blooms fills the air and the sound of buzzing bees pollinating is glorious.
