I saw one of your previous videos on tres in grow bags and pots. I planted a dwarf apple apple tree in a ten gallon grow bag because I thought I could keep it dwarf size. Well, I believe it has breached the bag and has grown really tall now. What should I do to transplant it? I live in Chicago zone 5-6. If I try to transplant it will have to cut the roots. Thank you. I like your content and watch all your videos.
Yes! The house I grew up in had both strawberry and pineapple guava as shrubs next to the house, right outside my bedroom window. This was the 60s, we had AC & dad forbid us opening the windows. I loved popping my screen out, picking a handful of fruit and closing everything back up. Such a rebel. They were delicious.
We just received our Owari Satsuma this week from McKenzie Farrns in Scranton, SC. Stan was so wonderful to work with! The tree is ready to be transplanted this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation!
Awesome! I would urge you to hold off until spring unless you’re in a very warm climate. If you get frosts and freezes, citrus should be planted after your last frost date in spring to give it maximum time to establish before it endures cold.
Where do you recommend buying the peach and persimmon trees? And what are your plans for the olive tree? Are you going to process the olives? And can you recommend a dwarf fig tree that’s cold hardy?
@@lindajustice2000 I don’t buy my trees from a particular supplier. There are countless good online nurseries. Other than Stan McKenzie for my citrus, I don’t have any recommendations. Find the variety you want, then find the nursery with the best stock and price. I don’t know what I’m going to do with the olives yet. I’ve never grown olives. I’ll probably brine and store them.
Dale has a very good heart. He's very loving, sensitive and attached to us. However, he's very independent. He understands everything, but he decides if he wants to listen based on the reward he'll get for compliance. He has more personality than most people I know. He's definitely a person.
That was great! Thank you so much for the clarity of your info: posting the names of the cultivars, sharing your sources, giving your own experiences with each tree... I already subscribed, but I'd like to thank you again for the detail in each of your videos.
Great job with the presentation, so many people show their gardens, and then I find out they're in florida! I'm in Northern Arkansas just below the Missouri State line, and love pushing the zone limit
Another great video! I'm growing Owari satsuma, olives and peaches here in the UK, I will definitely be looking into adding a persimmon tree to my garden in the future 👍
I bought a Bonanza dwarf peach this spring for our backyard in Maine, but you're seriously teasing us northern fans with the things we Can't grow here...but I DO love watching your channel. 😊
I used to live in the Northeast my entire life. I picked up and moved so I could grow more things 😂 Hey, it's an option! In Maine, if you're in Zone 6, or you have a protected location in 5b, the Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro persommon is growable outdoors. However, if you're in 5a/4b, you can grow Nikita's Gift, which is an Asian-American hybrid on a small stature tree.
@@TheMillennialGardener You've given me hope! I'm technically in zone 5b, but my particular property is pretty close to a 6 (very sheltered). The persimmon is what I am desiring to grow. I'm going to try it! As for moving, no...my family roots run extremely deep! 😊
Great info as always. New gardener zone 8a, my avocado plant survived our first frost 11/02 uncovered (in pot) the plant Gods spared my green thumbness 😉🌱
you are a life saver. I inherited three poor old apple trees here in the Triangle when we bought our house and no matter what I do they are just MISERABLE. And I've been looking at other fruit trees to try. I put in a Loquat a couple years ago. I don't know if it will fruit, but it sure is happy! All of these are fruits I was thinking of, so the cultivars specifics are perfect timing for me. Thanks for all your awesome videos.
MG thanks for the suggested suppliers, I have always appreciated your guidance. I got a number of trees from Willis Orchards and their products are incredible. The customer service is great too, despite a negative comment or two. It was really nice to have such a great selection. Again, many thanks for saving me so much time.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I am attempting an Owari Satsuma in ground (have many container citrus with much success) for the first time here in Southern New Jersey. It's been in the ground since last April and really doing well. I built a small hoop house around it and have been heating with incandescent Christmas lights this past week. So far so good. We have had 2 freezes already getting down to 25 degrees last night. Hoop house stayed at a steady 47 degrees all night., At what low temperature do you turn on your Chiasmas lights for your covered citrus and avocado trees next to your house?
Yes, enjoyed watching your video on UA-cam. I would love to have a Satsuma Manadarin orange tree in my side yard of my home in Winston-Salem, NC. What gave me an idea, a Interior Designer in Dallas, TX got citrus trees planted in big pots and in Winter, she brings her potted orange trees inside the house. She got her citrus trees for several years now.
Thank you for this info. I live in Arizona and have issues with peaches because we don't get cold long enough. This was awesome to find I can actually grow a peach here that will be good. Thank you
I would also recommend you check out peach varieties bred to grow in Florida. This is a good start: edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/MG374 There are numerous low-chill varieties available. If they can be grown in Central Florida, anywhere in Arizona shouldn't be an issue.
My hub just planted shade peach tree last month in our backyard here in Phx it doing well, already flowered just a stick lol. He said it will give us fruits in 2 years can't wait...! HOA doesn't allowed us to plant fruit tree in the front yard. Would love to plant Persimmon like yours as well. Beautiful fruits trees you have! 🥰
I think you'll be impressed. I bought the owari Satsuma Mandarin tree and im in Massachusetts and my tree is thriving with tons of new growth. Winter will be a challenge but i believe i can keep it alive.
First time on your channel, love it so informative! First year growing dwarf fruit trees. I’m in upstate ny 6a so have always felt we can have fruit trees! Will defiantly be follow you!,❤❤❤❤❤
I have way too many fruit trees😆im in the south texas and this year i planted peaches,apples,pears,pecans,apricots and plums on the ground and in pots i have figs,mandarins,orange,keylimes,and a pomegranate.im tempeted in putting them in the ground too but i have to build some kind a protection for them since in winter we get.some light freezes
Yes. I truly appreciate all these trees as I'm trying to go some of these myself. But you didn't mention what type of fertilizer you used ?? Or what soil these trees do best ?
As always I enjoyed your videos. This one very special because even I live in Deltona, Fl zone 9B I have 2 thirds of my backyard block with shade from tall trees from my back neighbor and the same goes in one of the sides as well. Bottom line I try to use as much as I can in the only side that I can get full sun specially in fall and winter. The idea of the Bonanza peach tree and the Owari is great. Can you tell me where you got your Bonanza peach tree?
No true lime is going to survive unprotected in Austin. Pretty much all true limes are tender to hard frosts. I'm growing a lime-kumquat hybrid called Excalibur Red Lime. That is hardy into the 8b/9a range and could grow in Austin with protection in the winter like I protect my citrus, for sure. However, it tastes like a mix of lime juice and orange juice, so it doesn't substitute perfectly for a lime, and the peel is sweet and edible like candy. If you want a true lime, you'd have to plant something like a Persian Lime on a dwarfing rootstock up against a warm wall and protect it with lights and water barrels like I do. It is doable, but you'll have to be diligent.
@TheMillennialGardener Thank you for the response! My house is so small that I need one that grows hammocks to make that work! I enjoy your videos, and you keep my gardening dreams alive! Keep gardening the dream-lol.
Very informative! Thank you! Where is the best plane to get the DWARF BONANZA PEACH tree? We have an Owari Satsuma orange tree. Last year was the second year , the first year with fruit and we had about 25 oranges but very few leaves and no fruit this year. Only new sprouts at base of tree 🤷 Also, how do you fertilize your fruit trees?
The temperature gets down to about 7F where ai live in central Alabama. I'm too far north for citrus trees, and too far south for apple trees. Apple trees will grow, but the fruit bakes on the branches long before it ripens. Peach trees will grow, but the soil (hard red clay) has to be dug out , and filled with top soil. There are three fruit trees that do well in my area, cherry trees, plum trees, and pear trees. Next March, I plan on expanding my garden by adding fruit two cherry trees, a Bing cherry tree, and a Coral Champagne cherry tree. If all goes well, the following year, I will add two Santa Rosa plum trees. The other night, the temperature got down to 25F, and it was a 13 hour freeze. It was too cold for too long for my peppers, basil, and zinnias. I've cleaned up the damage, and put my pepper GreenStalk Tower to bed for the winter, and covered my pepper raised bed with a t hick layer of chopped leaves. In the spring, I will cover the leaves with compost, and plant into it. All but three varieties of peppers will be grown in two GreenStalk Towers next year, freeing up raised bed space for other crops. I have assorted lettuces, Late Nagasaki Cabbage, turnips, and Pak Choi that I am harvesting from. My rutabaga roots are starting to develop roots, and my kohlrabi and tatsoi should be ready to harvest soon. My Danvers carrot, Purple Top Turnip, and Tokinashi Turnip seedlings are doing well, but I didn't get good germination from my golden beet seeds. I ordered a new batch of seeds to replace some of my older seeds the other day. My Seascape Strawberries are still slowly producing, so I am getting a handful of strawberries most days. My winter tomatoes-3 Early Girl-bush, and 4 Tiny Tim tomatoes are going strong. I'm overwintering my newly sprouted comfrey (8 plants) in my polytunnel to keep them growing. I'll transplant them into my herb garden in the spring. Next year, with the exception of my mint, spearmint, and peppermint, my herbs will be grown in ground. I have a mound of soil near my front porch that will be perfect for a herb garden. It will free up 8 grow bags, that I am going to relocate, and use exclusively for planting pollinators, zinnias, marigolds, and cosmos.
I disagree. You could definitely grow a Yuzu tree or the Owari or Brown's Select satsuma if you protect the trees like I do with lights and a water barrel. If I can grow an Avocado in-ground where we get down into the low teens each year, you can grow citrus using the same protection methods. Last year, when we got down to 14F, my avocado stayed at 28F, so you can do it if you're diligent like I am. If you're less diligent, Yuzu is hardy to 0-5F once established and would require more basic protection. The problems with your soil can largely be mitigated by growing dwarfing varieties like these on mounds. If you mound up the soil 12-18 inches, you can beat the problem. I don't accept the notion that things can't be grown. If I can grow an avocado tree and a Meyer lemon in Wilmington, NC, a lot of things are possible. We got down to 30 degrees Wednesday morning and I didn't cover any of my citrus or my avocado and none of them cared.
Peaches need A LOT of spraying throughout the growing season up until harvest. If you have the time for that then peaches are awesome. One of my favorite fruits. I definitely want to plant a persimmon tree soon.
A strategy some gardeners use is to grow early peaches. Early varieties of peaches often mature ahead of the worst of the insects and diseases. Late season peaches require more spraying, since they linger on the tree when insects and fungal diseases are most active. Al peaches require some spraying, but earlier varieties require less.
You're welcome! I always say that Hound is the only species of dog that's also a verb. You can't "poodle" or "labrador" someone, but you can hound them, and Dale is always hounding for something. He's too smart for his own good.
Dude, this vid is THE one I've been looking for. Thank you for making it. I'd love to see more of your selections for small yards...cherries, bluebeeries, etc.. I'm in central NC, so "Howdy" neighbor!
I'm glad it was helpful! Fruit tree season is coming closer, so content is slowly going to be shifted away from the vegetable garden and to the fruit trees.
Where would you recommend the Dwarf Bonanza Peach Tree? I dont want the dwarf fruit… I want a high quality/size fruit. All I’ve found are patio varieties. Your help is appreciated!
I am looking to grow a couple fruit trees in containers. I live in zone 5b near Chicago. My plan is to keep them outdoors for most of the year but bring them inside once we start to see colder temperatures. Would you recommend any of these trees? And if so, what container size would you recommend? I mostly grow in fabric bags, but I have been gifted a few larger plastic pots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My driveway is south-facing in zone 7b. I have 10 feet in between my two-story house and my neighbor's two-story house and driveway. Would these trees do well there? Also, you are my new favorite gardening channel. I love your descriptions and encouragement.
Questions: How far do you plant from the fence? It seems very close but it could be the video angle. How far do you plant the awesome orange & avocado from the house? Thank you Loveeee your garden!!!!
I recently started to get into fruit trees after watching your videos and just received my first trees from McKenzie’s! Amazing trees and customer service. But where can I get the olive tree and the avocado tree you showcased in the video? We were just moved from 7b to 8a this year and would like to try those if possible. Also, can those trees planted on the bottom of a South facing hugelkultur benefit from a warmer microclimate if planted in front of a rock garden as a heat sink?
@@TheMillennialGardener hi! Any tips on diy tree removal? I have two guavas, there’s one in the from that I don’t like and I think I want plant a dwarf Mylar and key lime trees that I have in pots. What do you recommend? It’s about 20 feet up high.
I would like to see a video on pruning citrus trees. I cut mine back after I harvest the fruit, but I don’t know what I’m doing. So far they haven’t died. Lol
Enjoyed this video, as usual, but I have a small quibble about your choice of the olive tree. Olive trees are so allergenic that they are prohibited in many Arizona HOA's(and whole towns). Perhaps a lesser issue , but if planted in the front yard, as you suggest, at maturity they can become quite messy with their attraction to birds, and dropped olives. Just something that folks might want to consider.
Wondering if that peach is the variety I see growing in a small yard in town! Their tree is no more than 4' tall, and has what looks like 100 perfect peaches every year. 😍
Also i was noticing that where you planted your fruit trees along your fence it looks like you have a guide wire that your tieing your tree branches to. What does that do for the tree? And do you do that to all your fruit trees?. Great video.
Question, are you thinking about creating a video that deals with a topic of the use of rootstock and cuttings to create citrus trees? I would find that interesting if you did, but I like all your videos anyway.
Thanks to you, I just called Mckenzie farms and ordered an owari satsuma. Please I need all the tips on growing it. I'm also in zone 8a georgia and I want to grow is in-ground. Any tips will be appreciated. I mentioned you to him and he said I should keep following you for tips😅. It's a 1 gallon. Thanks a lot.
@@mypasstime100inspired by millennial gardener, i planted owari and browns select satsuma against southeastern wall in georgia zone 8a :) hope you did plant too. Will be first winter to go through the cold protection routine. Do let me know if you planted it as well so we could touch base with each other on how its doing..
I love your videos. Thank you they help so much!! I am in zone 8a seems like I can grow most of the things you can?? Just need to give protection to any citrus I try?
Yes, I am in Zone 8, so there will be a lot of crossover. A Seattle Zone 8 is going to be different than my Zone 8, but if you're in a warm Zone 8, it will be very similar.
I'm always gonna give props in the comments for a Stan McKenzie mention. 🤙 The dwarf peach tree you featured is very enticing. The idea of being eye to eye with a producing, mature peach tree sounds like a dream.
The oranges hold on the tree for about a month. I pick them over the course of a month as I want them. When I see they're starting to reach maximum maturity (the skin starts to pull away), I'll cut them all off and stick them in a box in the coldest spot of my garage where they'll store for about another month. You can do whatever you want with them: juice them, candy them, make jam/jelly, etc. They're indistinguishable from any orange you've ever bought from a grocery store and can be used as an all-purpose orange, except they'll taste about 5 times better than any orange from a grocery store. These aren't some strange cold-hardy thing that tastes funny. They're real-deal, top quality oranges.
Great video! Subscribed! Can you tell me the variety of avocado your growing and where I can get one? I live a little north of Atlanta and would love to have one. I’m willing to put in the work during winters! 💪
Good morning, I am a new gardener and starting my edible garden. I am looking for an advise of what to plant between the fruit trees. i already planted dwarf trees and have 8 feet space, my question what can I plant between the trees ? I live in North Carolina Zone 7B. thanks in advance
Do you recommend growing the Dwarf Bonanza Peach in zone 5, in-ground? Is it too late to plant outside now (early-mid November)? Should I start indoor (with grow lights) and transplant outside in spring? Anywhere in particular to buy from?
I have somewhat filtered light in the backyard, will these trees thrive in that environment?. I do plan to remove a few large trees back there but was wondering about the sun requirement.
Good afternoon. I would like some info on the peach tree you showed in this video. Im in nw central florida. Looking to plant some peach trees. I like the fact its a dwarf tree but still bares full size fruit. Can you give me the varieties and where you bought it from? I just planted my first two plumb trees for 9a. I know nothing about fruit trees so any help would be most appreciative. Thanks, Ed
I have an olive tree in zone 4a. I put out in the summer in a container, bring in in the winter. It has a fungus,small round brown dots on the leaves. I have tried natural homemade spays but not total eradication. Can I severely prune it? Had three years, no friut, will look at the type Any suggestions?
I have a question: why grow jyst one olive? If/when you get an oil it would take lots to make oil and to eat them dont you have to salt brine for a year? I hope you find an answer to the fungus issue. I think he's got a few suggestions in other videos
bought this at a box store as a novelty, due to the zone I'm in, I must bring it inside. So more than one wasn't considered. But, given pollination if the tree requires it may impact decisions of what's next....@@taurusrae7630
My peach tree leaves keep getting holes, turning brown, and curling. I don’t see any bugs and I have been using copper fungicide once a week. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Was this in Florida? I've never had the Cattley guava.
@@TheMillennialGardener it was central California, zone 9. BTW I love your channel. Great suggestions nicely presented.
Is pineapple guava have a lot of seeds are they hard or more like blackberry seeds
Can Pineapple Guava survive in central Louisiana on the zone 8b/9a line? We get BAD freezes here every year now. I ordered two of them.
This is what teenage rebellion should be. No harm, a sweet reward and the kick of slightly breaking your parents rules
Your backyard is how every suburban backyard should be, fruit trees planted all along the house and fence line.

@@TheMillennialGardener Thank for your reply.
I would love the citrus, but judging by the -40F we had last winter near Christmas, I'd have to build a barn around them!
They do make good potted plants. Give it a sunny window and a supplemental grow light and many varieties can fruit indoors.

Thank you for the response! My house is so small that I need one that grows hammocks to make that work!
I enjoy your videos, and you keep my gardening dreams alive! Keep gardening the dream-lol.
Very informative! Thank you! Where is the best plane to get the DWARF BONANZA PEACH tree? We have an Owari Satsuma orange tree. Last year was the second year , the first year with fruit and we had about 25 oranges but very few leaves and no fruit this year. Only new sprouts at base of tree 🤷
Also, how do you fertilize your fruit trees?
The temperature gets down to about 7F where ai live in central Alabama. I'm too far north for citrus trees, and too far south for apple trees. Apple trees will grow, but the fruit bakes on the branches long before it ripens. Peach trees will grow, but the soil (hard red clay) has to be dug out , and filled with top soil. There are three fruit trees that do well in my area, cherry trees, plum trees, and pear trees. Next March, I plan on expanding my garden by adding fruit two cherry trees, a Bing cherry tree, and a Coral Champagne cherry tree. If all goes well, the following year, I will add two Santa Rosa plum trees. The other night, the temperature got down to 25F, and it was a 13 hour freeze. It was too cold for too long for my peppers, basil, and zinnias. I've cleaned up the damage, and put my pepper GreenStalk Tower to bed for the winter, and covered my pepper raised bed with a t hick layer of chopped leaves. In the spring, I will cover the leaves with compost, and plant into it. All but three varieties of peppers will be grown in two GreenStalk Towers next year, freeing up raised bed space for other crops. I have assorted lettuces, Late Nagasaki Cabbage, turnips, and Pak Choi that I am harvesting from. My rutabaga roots are starting to develop roots, and my kohlrabi and tatsoi should be ready to harvest soon. My Danvers carrot, Purple Top Turnip, and Tokinashi Turnip seedlings are doing well, but I didn't get good germination from my golden beet seeds. I ordered a new batch of seeds to replace some of my older seeds the other day. My Seascape Strawberries are still slowly producing, so I am getting a handful of strawberries most days. My winter tomatoes-3 Early Girl-bush, and 4 Tiny Tim tomatoes are going strong. I'm overwintering my newly sprouted comfrey (8 plants) in my polytunnel to keep them growing. I'll transplant them into my herb garden in the spring. Next year, with the exception of my mint, spearmint, and peppermint, my herbs will be grown in ground. I have a mound of soil near my front porch that will be perfect for a herb garden. It will free up 8 grow bags, that I am going to relocate, and use exclusively for planting pollinators, zinnias, marigolds, and cosmos.
I disagree. You could definitely grow a Yuzu tree or the Owari or Brown's Select satsuma if you protect the trees like I do with lights and a water barrel. If I can grow an Avocado in-ground where we get down into the low teens each year, you can grow citrus using the same protection methods. Last year, when we got down to 14F, my avocado stayed at 28F, so you can do it if you're diligent like I am. If you're less diligent, Yuzu is hardy to 0-5F once established and would require more basic protection.
The problems with your soil can largely be mitigated by growing dwarfing varieties like these on mounds. If you mound up the soil 12-18 inches, you can beat the problem.
I don't accept the notion that things can't be grown. If I can grow an avocado tree and a Meyer lemon in Wilmington, NC, a lot of things are possible. We got down to 30 degrees Wednesday morning and I didn't cover any of my citrus or my avocado and none of them cared.
Good job guys.
I definitely want at least one of those little orange trees! My soil quality is terrible so what do you think about growing in larger containers?
Great video, my friend. Still a little to cold up here for them but it's great info. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁
Great video, thank you
Another awesome video Marcus.
Peaches need A LOT of spraying throughout the growing season up until harvest. If you have the time for that then peaches are awesome. One of my favorite fruits. I definitely want to plant a persimmon tree soon.
A strategy some gardeners use is to grow early peaches. Early varieties of peaches often mature ahead of the worst of the insects and diseases. Late season peaches require more spraying, since they linger on the tree when insects and fungal diseases are most active. Al peaches require some spraying, but earlier varieties require less.
I live in Central California. What would be the best time of year to plant the citrus tree you mentioned?
Thanks for the recommendations!👍
Dale's not the blame for messes on the carpet...dad shouldn't be tossing meat to him.😄
Hey cutie pie Dale!👋
You're welcome! I always say that Hound is the only species of dog that's also a verb. You can't "poodle" or "labrador" someone, but you can hound them, and Dale is always hounding for something. He's too smart for his own good.

Another great video. Information very helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Dude, this vid is THE one I've been looking for. Thank you for making it. I'd love to see more of your selections for small yards...cherries, bluebeeries, etc..
I'm in central NC, so "Howdy" neighbor!
I'm glad it was helpful! Fruit tree season is coming closer, so content is slowly going to be shifted away from the vegetable garden and to the fruit trees.
Where would you recommend the Dwarf Bonanza Peach Tree? I dont want the dwarf fruit… I want a high quality/size fruit. All I’ve found are patio varieties. Your help is appreciated!
We have a Mexican lime and a Bonanza peach tree that I’m putting in the ground this week. Any tips on how far from a wall I should plant the base?
Thank you
You're welcome!
I am looking to grow a couple fruit trees in containers. I live in zone 5b near Chicago. My plan is to keep them outdoors for most of the year but bring them inside once we start to see colder temperatures. Would you recommend any of these trees? And if so, what container size would you recommend? I mostly grow in fabric bags, but I have been gifted a few larger plastic pots. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My driveway is south-facing in zone 7b. I have 10 feet in between my two-story house and my neighbor's two-story house and driveway. Would these trees do well there? Also, you are my new favorite gardening channel. I love your descriptions and encouragement.
Excellent video!!!🪶🪶🪶👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Ordered that same persimmion tree after watching your video.
They're so good!
Awesome video, I will definitely try to order some dwarf citrus trees from McKenzie. I live in Hawaii so hopefully they’ll ship to me.
Questions:
How far do you plant from the fence? It seems very close but it could be the video angle.
How far do you plant the awesome orange & avocado from the house?
Thank you
Loveeee your garden!!!!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support and generosity! I really appreciate it ❤
That mic would make a great Christmas ornament.
But zone 7A will take two of the trees. Thanks for the information. I'll check with my farm where I keep my hives. I want winter storage apples.
I recently started to get into fruit trees after watching your videos and just received my first trees from McKenzie’s! Amazing trees and customer service.
But where can I get the olive tree and the avocado tree you showcased in the video? We were just moved from 7b to 8a this year and would like to try those if possible.
Also, can those trees planted on the bottom of a South facing hugelkultur benefit from a warmer microclimate if planted in front of a rock garden as a heat sink?
🙏 thank you!
You're welcome!
@@TheMillennialGardener hi! Any tips on diy tree removal? I have two guavas, there’s one in the from that I don’t like and I think I want plant a dwarf Mylar and key lime trees that I have in pots. What do you recommend? It’s about 20 feet up high.
I would like to see a video on pruning citrus trees. I cut mine back after I harvest the fruit, but I don’t know what I’m doing. So far they haven’t died. Lol
He has one
I have a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/knY009Esk6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=iN6RpDjxAYpkbWd3
Enjoyed this video, as usual, but I have a small quibble about your choice of the olive tree. Olive trees are so allergenic that they are prohibited in many Arizona HOA's(and whole towns).
Perhaps a lesser issue , but if planted in the front yard, as you suggest, at maturity they can become quite messy with their attraction to birds, and dropped olives.
Just something that folks might want to consider.
Love your videos. Where did you get Dwarf Bonanza Peach Tree?
Wondering if that peach is the variety I see growing in a small yard in town! Their tree is no more than 4' tall, and has what looks like 100 perfect peaches every year. 😍
Love your videos!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Very nice garden,like 👍🔔❤️
Thank you so much 🙂
Also i was noticing that where you planted your fruit trees along your fence it looks like you have a guide wire that your tieing your tree branches to. What does that do for the tree? And do you do that to all your fruit trees?.
Great video.
Question, are you thinking about creating a video that deals with a topic of the use of rootstock and cuttings to create citrus trees? I would find that interesting if you did, but I like all your videos anyway.
Glad I stumbled on your channel just as I am planning some fruit trees in my Raleigh property. Can I email some queries pls?
I really hope that you can have a small apple tree for my small yard as well😢
Thanks to you, I just called Mckenzie farms and ordered an owari satsuma. Please I need all the tips on growing it. I'm also in zone 8a georgia and I want to grow is in-ground. Any tips will be appreciated. I mentioned you to him and he said I should keep following you for tips😅. It's a 1 gallon. Thanks a lot.
I recommend you search through the videos on my cold protection playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PL1gY7BoYBGIG1w1u_K6CDIhfsqG8dMnPj.html&si=wggGVamrIpOxhcV-
@@TheMillennialGardener I did watch it. How do you plant it and fertilize it for a great start?
@@mypasstime100inspired by millennial gardener, i planted owari and browns select satsuma against southeastern wall in georgia zone 8a :) hope you did plant too. Will be first winter to go through the cold protection routine. Do let me know if you planted it as well so we could touch base with each other on how its doing..
I love your videos. Thank you they help so much!! I am in zone 8a seems like I can grow most of the things you can?? Just need to give protection to any citrus I try?
Yes, I am in Zone 8, so there will be a lot of crossover. A Seattle Zone 8 is going to be different than my Zone 8, but if you're in a warm Zone 8, it will be very similar.
Great video
I'm always gonna give props in the comments for a Stan McKenzie mention. 🤙
The dwarf peach tree you featured is very enticing. The idea of being eye to eye with a producing, mature peach tree sounds like a dream.
I am in 8a and have extended periods of dry high heat here on central Texas. Which of these recommended fruits would do best here?
Hi Millennial Garden, how do you store, or even can your oranges, or do you just eat them? Can they be juiced also?
The oranges hold on the tree for about a month. I pick them over the course of a month as I want them. When I see they're starting to reach maximum maturity (the skin starts to pull away), I'll cut them all off and stick them in a box in the coldest spot of my garage where they'll store for about another month. You can do whatever you want with them: juice them, candy them, make jam/jelly, etc. They're indistinguishable from any orange you've ever bought from a grocery store and can be used as an all-purpose orange, except they'll taste about 5 times better than any orange from a grocery store. These aren't some strange cold-hardy thing that tastes funny. They're real-deal, top quality oranges.
@@TheMillennialGardener thanks for responding to my questions. You're the second UA-camr I watch that has these orange trees. God bless you.
Great video! Subscribed! Can you tell me the variety of avocado your growing and where I can get one? I live a little north of Atlanta and would love to have one. I’m willing to put in the work during winters! 💪
Good morning, I am a new gardener and starting my edible garden. I am looking for an advise of what to plant between the fruit trees. i already planted dwarf trees and have 8 feet space, my question what can I plant between the trees ? I live in North Carolina Zone 7B. thanks in advance
What about if you live in the SW desert 9B? I have a large lemon tree 8 ft, did not survive last summer with more than 30 >100 deg days.
Do you recommend growing the Dwarf Bonanza Peach in zone 5, in-ground? Is it too late to plant outside now (early-mid November)? Should I start indoor (with grow lights) and transplant outside in spring? Anywhere in particular to buy from?
I have somewhat filtered light in the backyard, will these trees thrive in that environment?. I do plan to remove a few large trees back there but was wondering about the sun requirement.
Do I have to plant these in the ground or will try make it in larger pot?
Where do you get your fruit trees from.
Good afternoon.
I would like some info on the peach tree you showed in this video. Im in nw central florida. Looking to plant some peach trees. I like the fact its a dwarf tree but still bares full size fruit.
Can you give me the varieties and where you bought it from?
I just planted my first two plumb trees for 9a. I know nothing about fruit trees so any help would be most appreciative. Thanks, Ed
Can you tell me the temperature in Celsius cause I'm Canadian 😆 would love more info on them

I have an olive tree in zone 4a. I put out in the summer in a container, bring in in the winter. It has a fungus,small round brown dots on the leaves. I have tried natural homemade spays but not total eradication. Can I severely prune it? Had three years, no friut, will look at the type Any suggestions?
I have a question: why grow jyst one olive? If/when you get an oil it would take lots to make oil and to eat them dont you have to salt brine for a year?
I hope you find an answer to the fungus issue. I think he's got a few suggestions in other videos
bought this at a box store as a novelty, due to the zone I'm in, I must bring it inside. So more than one wasn't considered. But, given pollination if the tree requires it may impact decisions of what's next....@@taurusrae7630
My peach tree leaves keep getting holes, turning brown, and curling. I don’t see any bugs and I have been using copper fungicide once a week. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
