    I've seen a lot of people talk about fruit trees but Jay seems to have the most knowledge of all of them. Definitely the tree whisperer.

    Planting the same plant in different parts of your yard is a good way to learn where it grows best. I tend to do that with my plants due to all the micro climates and soil. You never know, but you can quickly learn the best place to grow certain plants if you try.

      easier with certain things....
      not fruit trees which usually take several years just to start producing fruit.
      most people don't have acres upon acres to do whatever wherever.
      and sorry but id rather have a tree produce less fruit because its not in the ideal location, than to have that time,space,effort, money,etc etc, wasted on a possibility instead of just growing a larger variety of things,different cultivars,or completely different plants.

    Hello! Do you have any Fwang Tung starfruit trees? I have one and I'm a little nervous on putting it in the ground because I read that they get really big LOL and I feel like my other trees might not grow underneath it, any suggestions? I'm not sure if the different varieties grow differently as far as shape and size. Thank you and I really enjoy your videos there are amazing, and so is your green thumb!!!!

      late answer but I'd suggest using a big pot or like a half or full wine cask or similar, and as for ground... heard of a pole saw? just trim the shit out of it constantly, gonna be effort but you'll get hundreds of fruits constantly.

    Where in az you live, do you know where the water supply comes from? I saw phx gets theirs from lake mead, like vegas. What happens when it is drained?

      should work even better than arizona actually, but if you let it get big or get multiple, i suggest investing in a freeze dryer or dehydrator, that way you can both save some for yourself for much later,and also sell it over time to locals vs letting it waste and rot, make cash and "friends"

    what did you do to protect it during winter season?

    • @bloodlove93
      @bloodlove93 6 місяців тому

      i imagine the same thing farmers have done for a while now, there's special blankets you can buy to insulate them.
      older methods involve things like oil barrels with coal burning sitting by the tree.....just buy blankets.

      or...no.
      most fruit trees can do just fine in pots,it might not produce as much but if you already have too much so what?
      besides keeping it in a pot makes it super easy to either sell if you need fast cash,or you can easily move anywhere else and just take the potted tree with you,have fun digging up full grown trees and transplanting them without killing them otherwise,plus likely lowering value of property for sale because you ripped out a whole root system and trunk and left a nasty mark in the yard.
      yeah no...potted trees are fine,get over it,in fact it's often superior.
