Thanks for another great video! It's awesome that you share which varieties do the best and taste the best. Most people buy from Home Depot and you get what you get and you are stuck with poor producers/tastes for decades. Please do yourself a favor and buy trees from Jay. He will tell you which ones are the very best varieties for the area. This yard is the best I have ever personally seen in Arizona and is more than worthy of multiple visits and purchases.
I started growing fruit trees because home grown fruit will always be better than store bought. my peers think i'm crazy because i grow 20+ varieties of citrus but it's like you said at the end; it's an investment. lemons here are $0.99 each! Sumo mandarins are $4-$5/lb at the specialty grocery stores. and i always find store citrus to be bland. My Shasta/Yosemite Gold mandarins are mouthwatering. I never see those at the markets. Another advantage to growing your own is that you know exactly what variety youre gonna get. most mandarins in the store are labeled as "Honey." One last thing is that you can grow a standard size citrus tree and do multiple grafts with different varieties.
I found out citrus will work here in Western WA. I almost killed my Lemon tree by bringing it in during the big freeze we had. The heat of the house almost killed it. If I would have left it outside I believe it would have been fine. I have now ordered a grapefruit and a Mandarin. I will be adding more over the years to come.
I just planted over a dozen more fruit trees in rural central Louisiana...figs, mulberries, and pineapple guava. Why? I like FOOD! I want as much free food in the future as possible. Plus I like the birds to be around and there`s plenty of fruits and berries to share. The birds eat a ton of pests in my vegetable garden. So do wasps so I let them nest here. As long as they aren`t bothering me I don`t bother them. I don`t like using poisons because of bees and butterflies.
I enjoy your vids, very informative.. when I start my desert farmstead I know exactly where to go to get fruitful trees to plant on my land. Being a Phoenix native who wants to grow his own food, your channel has made me more confident!
Are you planting from seed? Can you please get into the differences of polyembryonic and monoembryonic? How to choose the right seed to grow for best fruit
I believe he and many UA-camrs will say that’s not a thing. 1-2 feet is enough. Think about it forest grows close together so if you got hot summers just plant 2-3 ft apart and it’ll be fine. I’ve done in this my garden and it’s been very green all the time
I stumbled on your UA-cam channel by accident but I do want to ask you on the seedless cuties how do you grow a tree if it’s séedles I also like to buy one from you if available I’m in Phoenix area near Avondale
Are you shipping this season? I live in San Antonio tx area. Also im building a greenhouse for an aquaponic setup, tilapia need 50°+. Im trying to determine how large i want to build. I live in zone 9a, would a GH be helpful with the citrus if i remove them in the intense summer? Can i fruit year round, or significantly extend fruiting season with the help of a GH? Thanks!
Yes, but he points out that anyone can grow them in a 15 gallon container and bring indoors for the winter. And he shows a healthy young potted mandarin with 11 ripe fruit on it.
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉 I subscribed to your channel and gave a like 👍 Thank you for sharing 😊🙏

I am in the Bahamas love your vids I been waiting on u myboy need more videos Keep up the good work
Absolutely my favorite place in Arizona! I highly recommend y’all visit and get planting 💪🏻
Where is this nursery? I’ve been unable to find the address anywhere? Thanks
Thank you for this video! Inspired me to start growing mine this weekend!❤ Does your neighbor mind the mandarin in overgrowth in their yard?😅
Thats awesome! Hopefully not, I would love to be my neighbor! Free food, no work!
Are you planting from seed? Can you please get into the differences of polyembryonic and monoembryonic? How to choose the right seed to grow for best fruit
I just started growing these. Found some seeds in one a couple months ago. Just sprouted this morning
I would love to get some of your lemon tree!
How far apart do you recommend to plant your citrus trees from one another?
I believe he and many UA-camrs will say that’s not a thing. 1-2 feet is enough. Think about it forest grows close together so if you got hot summers just plant 2-3 ft apart and it’ll be fine. I’ve done in this my garden and it’s been very green all the time
Your neighbors must love you.
LOL, they get fruit for free with no effort.
Can you compost the peels?
How much sun do they need?
Do you spray your peach trees with pesticide?
Thank you very much.
I stumbled on your UA-cam channel by accident but I do want to ask you on the seedless cuties how do you grow a tree if it’s séedles I also like to buy one from you if available I’m in Phoenix area near Avondale
Are clementines similar to the ones you reviewed here? Also, where is your nursery located?
I am really interested in getting a Florida prince peach tree, do you sell them?
yes!
Are you shipping this season? I live in San Antonio tx area.
Also im building a greenhouse for an aquaponic setup, tilapia need 50°+. Im trying to determine how large i want to build. I live in zone 9a, would a GH be helpful with the citrus if i remove them in the intense summer?
Can i fruit year round, or significantly extend fruiting season with the help of a GH?
Thanks!
Zone 9 is my zone, and you should be able to grow outside
Is it normal with apricot tree at this time of the year that there’s not even a single bud in the tree thank you
mine started today!
What are the differences between Florda Prince and Florda King peach trees?
Prince is the son of the King.
Florda King has 450 chill hours. Florda Prince is 150 chill hours
Have you ever grown Honey mandarins?
yes. very thorny tree, excellent fruit
@@ArizonaFruitTrees Good to know about its thorns but it was a favorite of a farm in Texas. I wondered if you had experience with it.
How do you grow cuties if there’s no seeds
I’m curious as to why you don’t like the clementine. That bag of cutties is Clementine.
They are ok. Good average grocery store variety, Great for the masses. But we can grow better varieties for back yard use!
@@ArizonaFruitTreesGold nugget and Shiranui 😉😁
@@Howardlifts have both! Huge gold nugget, smaller Sumo
FYI We are exactly 2 months into winter, not spring.
Your welcome.
Your in AZ for crying out loud
Yes, but he points out that anyone can grow them in a 15 gallon container and bring indoors for the winter. And he shows a healthy young potted mandarin with 11 ripe fruit on it.
