This is the place to go for all your fruit trees and even some spice plants/trees ., Great honest advice , great prices, exceptional variety and post sales support . Al is not just trying to sell you something and be done with you. He genuinely wants you to succeed with your trees.Worth the drive from anywhere in south Fl.
in my country the plants are usually planted and left alone, only cleaned and cared for one or two months later. I am often moved to see creative and innovative farmers like in this show, trying to create high quality crops. I am touched and very inspired by this show. This will be a passion for me farming, thank you and keep the spirit. Greetings from Indonesia🙏🙏
Believe me, I have purchased many trees from Al's and I have never been disappointed with the quality, prices, and the support I that I have received from Al's even after my purchases. I highly recommend that you stop and visit Al's place first. You can't beat his prices, inventory, and expert advice!
Thanks... U definitely gave us some valuable information. 🙏 Everything that u said is correct. I've been growing Moringa for 2 years. I finally had success last year. We had 5 freezes in NW FL zone 9.🤦 But it was the 50° nights that killed them. I started new ones last month. I will grow them in 30 gallon containers. I spray them w vinegar about once a week, more when it rains, to fight fungus. And I will be growing them in partial Sun. I have some 12" water bottles that I use as my starters. Hopefully they can last 6 months in those. 🤞 I'm planning on overwintering them until next Spring. I plan to be moved into my house by then. 👩🏽🌾🙏😏🥂
Nice to see this video with very helpful information. I'm surprised to see balimbi in your orchard. We grow that tree back home. Almost every household grow in their backyard. What my parents did with matured balimbi, just before turning yellow, gathered the fruits and dry them. We add the dried fruit to soups, and stew fish. The taste of the dried balimbi stays the same. Thanks again for the video.
Love it. Hope my avocadoes get some fruit soon!!! Love the breadfruit!!. Totally agree on the six months to a year for cow dung. Peace n happiness to Al and his trees.
On my island, avocado is hard, mango is easy. Probably salt coming from the ocean when there is a storm, that’s the problem. It kills coffee plants as well.
The conventional wisdom is that Donnie is not a very good avocado, but Al tells us that if left on the tree longer until July or August, it's actually a very good and not watery avocado. It seems to me that's the case with ALL Florida avocados--they're picked too early and rushed to market before they reach their prime. All the Monroes are picked and shipped out by the first week of January, and yet their season should last until the middle of February. Growers start to pick Simmonds at the end of June, but when I had my tree, I found they weren't really very good until the middle of August.
Grea video Paul, very informative, I will definitely pay a visit and see what they have, I have been going to WPB and I live way closer to Al's. Great Job!!!
In addition to extremely high oxalate levels, they also contain a powerful toxin called caramboxin that is extremely damaging to the nervous system and can cause seizures, neurodegenerative disease and even death (even in people with healthy kidneys).
@@inchristalone25 and the majority of the bitterness... Eating a starfruit is so much better by doing the following. 1. Cut/Bite off top and bottom 2. Cut/Bite off star tips 3. Cut/Split along "seams" at the star tips You'll get perfect starfruit spears that separate from the seed sacks.
Paul, I take it the huge 'Custard Apple' here is Annona Reticulata? Do you think a Cherimoya and a Squamosa would be okay over a drain field? I have a small yard too. Thanks
" I like mango" i dont know anybody that doesn't like mango , and sugarapples are to die for , soursop/ guyabano one of the best fruits and the leaves make for a good tea that have CANCER fighting medicinal uses.
Hi Paul This a very educational video. Thank you I love to know if AI can train people from other countries. Would love to start fruit tree planting in Kenya
I agree that bananas are a pain in the butt! They require so much management, and once they go in they are hard to get rid of. I’ve phased them out until a future planting, right now I’m focused on the 160 fruit or nut bearing trees I already have in the ground. The worst part of the bananas is the fire ants they attract in my area.
Just visited Al’s this past week from key west, got an OS for the 3rd time now. Hurricane Irma killed the last one. I did notice some black spots on some branches though they wipe off fairly easy, hope it’s not disease 🤷🏼♂️. Any thoughts on the black spots?
Oh yeah 😎? Oxalates: Raw Spinach has Oxalalic Acid which combines with serum Calcium, forming Calcium Oxalate, which is insoluble. Calcium Oxalate can form kidney stones. However, when Spinach is canned 🥫 the heat 🔥 of the canning process, destroys the Oxalalic Acid in the Spinach. Here in Atlanta, Georgia I prefer canned 🥫 Spinach to the local Collard Greens
right at about 20 min the aduio finally got loud enough to understand him. Not sure what was going on but dang that first 20 was difficult to understand.
About the Strawberry tree I've read somewhere else that "The fruits are edible, though they are not usually enjoyable when fresh". Al must be talking about a specific variety which fruit tastes like cotton candy which is it? Excellent video. Thank you.
The Strawberry Tree you are looking for is the Muntingia Calabura. If you’re buying, make sure the tree has this name since there are other trees with the strawberry name.
Hi Paul Thankyou for all your wonderful videos,I just moved to PSL back in may 2022 Been trying to buy some fruit trees I bought a lamb hass avocado and I thought that it was the grafted part that greww like 4 feet but it wasn’t,I think is the root stock that was used,please what should I do 😢.
Paul doesn’t need a razor. He is being the man that Yahweh created him to be. Your comment is ignorant. If you shave, you are destroying the most masculine expression if your body that you have. Big beards are awesome and natural. Baby faces are unnatural and are for boys, not men.
@@juanpatron1720 Yeah, I am way off. Tell me you would not think this guy was homeless if he walked up behind you as you were getting into your car or was on a park bench. You know I am right.
The owner is so friendly.....beautiful nursery....good customer service.....

Watching from Pittsburgh. Good ideas and tips.
I’ll get to visit this place, you are great 🎉, this is what this country is all about.
I forgot how much I enjoy these videos! 😀
Love this guy. Well educated. And honest too.
Seems like a very nice and knowledgeable fella; thanks Paul for another great interview/tour.
Greenly Informative,Educational & Inspiring. Thanks for the beautiful interview & interactive lecture.
5 star interview Paul. Al's got a new customer. Looking forward to adding a strawberry tree for the grand kids.
He got em all and one of the nicest farmers you gonna meet
solid choice. My kids eat from ours every day...most of the year
I am very inspired by this video. It is very encouraging to learn that fruit trees can be grown in containers. I will grow some in my property.
Thank you for posting this video! You asked and got answers for some really good questions. Good job sir.
What a fantastic farm and video! I'd be in heaven there.

Once i have to money to go to florida and buy these trees, I will. This is my goal now. 😊

I have 6 fruit trees here in N. E. Florida!
Grea video Paul. I’ve bought quite a few trees from his nursery and he does have a great selection and fair pricing. Thanks
Good thing i am trying to start my own tree farm out of my backyard.
I absolutely love this content. Thank you!!
Love this video, watching from the Philippines
Thank You very Much, another great Program
Fantastic video Paul. Can you ask Al what books on growing fruit trees he'd recommend for someone now starting their small fruit orchard in Barbados.
On my island, avocado is hard, mango is easy. Probably salt coming from the ocean when there is a storm, that’s the problem. It kills coffee plants as well.
WOW! You are a Question master, thanks for asking so many questions
I’ve never tried carambola so I’m going by there tomorrow for sure
Great video sir awesome fruit tress. Hi. I'm Filipina vloger farmer from Philippines.
This channel is so good.
Paul. Why not put pots over the drain field?
you want to keep the roots out of the ground so as long as you keep an eye on them that would work. I put garden beds there instead

Starfruit, I believe high in oxalates is the problem with affecting the kidneys.
In addition to extremely high oxalate levels, they also contain a powerful toxin called caramboxin that is extremely damaging to the nervous system and can cause seizures, neurodegenerative disease and even death (even in people with healthy kidneys).
@@somerandomperson1503 thanks, I kind of thought there was something else but couldn't remember. Such a good tasting and high production fruit.
For those who want to eat lots of starfruit you have to cut off the tips of the star that's where the oxalates concentrate according to Green dreams.
@@inchristalone25 and the majority of the bitterness...
Eating a starfruit is so much better by doing the following.
1. Cut/Bite off top and bottom
2. Cut/Bite off star tips
3. Cut/Split along "seams" at the star tips
You'll get perfect starfruit spears that separate from the seed sacks.
@@inchristalone25 yes. Chop off the green tips ..
TRULY enjoyed this video
AMAZING! Thanks for the tour! Appreciate sharing all the knowledge! Would be nice to see the MEGA grafted tree mentioned in the video! :D

God bless AMERICA!!!
Anyone know where to purchase the weed barrier he uses on the grow bags?
Very usefull information nice video sir
Great video with good tips.
Paul, I take it the huge 'Custard Apple' here is Annona Reticulata? Do you think a Cherimoya and a Squamosa would be okay over a drain field? I have a small yard too. Thanks
I wouldn't put any tree over a drain field
I want to get Thai Jujube and sugar apple. How much is Thai jujube?

Great video

Bananas here in borneo are so eazy to manage.
It is the oxalic acid in the carambola that is bad for you kidneys (potential kidney stones), not the vitamin K
Loved this video ❣️

Figs? Southern wild figs we used to see around, Tampa-ish...I remember we're rooted in a clear bag, on limbs, took a long time. Have any?
figs grow here
Hi
Excellent video
Question: I have one paw paw in Wisconsin make’s flower but no fruit
Does it need pollinator?
not sure if PawPaw is self pollinating or not
@@FruitfulTrees
Actually I just found some fruit in it this year.
Just visited Al’s this past week from key west, got an OS for the 3rd time now. Hurricane Irma killed the last one. I did notice some black spots on some branches though they wipe off fairly easy, hope it’s not disease 🤷🏼♂️. Any thoughts on the black spots?
as long as they are not on the fruit you should be okay

Is mulching advisable ? I notice that the soil remains almost constantly moist, with almost no rain and no irrigation. Is that good?
mulch is helpful
Excellent interview..anyone know thr name of thecweed barrier he uses
Love the Florida accents.
I have to move to south Florida!.
Hello, I am looking for some good Jamaican pumpkin and gungo peas seeds to buy. Thanks
New subscriber after this video. Great interview👍👍
Hello,
Can you provide the address of the Baby's banana nersary
Where'd he get these large pots from

Helpful
He maybe should try the grassroots fabric pots. they are extra durable with plastic inner lining.They are great, I love them
Great 👍🏻
right at about 20 min the aduio finally got loud enough to understand him. Not sure what was going on but dang that first 20 was difficult to understand.
Does he have an inventory list?
see his site in the description
Paul, what is the address in Homestead?? Great video!! Thanks
see description below the video
Where is this location?
their site address is under the video
Everyone doing these videos always forget to mention how long it takes for the tree to bare fruits
They don't forget there's is no accurate time when grafted sometimes you can buy them with fruits from seed some trees 3_5
Any Durian or Jack fruit tree?
durian doesn't grow here but many jackfruit
About the Strawberry tree I've read somewhere else that "The fruits are edible, though they are not usually enjoyable when fresh". Al must be talking about a specific variety which fruit tastes like cotton candy which is it? Excellent video. Thank you.
If he is talking about the cotton candy berry yes that's the strawberry tree or jamaican cherry tree and its only enjoyed fresh.
