    if you live in northern europe or similar climate and are looking for rare fruits I recommend growing cornelian cherries and Japanese silverberries maybe its my own peculiar taste but those are really tasty and very resilient to boot, especialy against fungus if it tends to rain a lot where you live or if you have long winters you should give it a try

    If your persimmon is astringent, just let it blet. Basically leave it out at room temperature for a while until it looks brown and mushy, almost like it’s rotten. But if you smell it it’ll be sweet and earthy. It’s kinda like when a banana turns brown. You can spoon it out and eat it like that or you can bake it, make ice cream with it, etc.

    Some thrive more than others, but i´ve already got some flowers showing.
    Great inspiration, keep it up.
    Kadsura coccinea is also something interesting ive been looking into.

    As someone with mulberry trees (they were planted by the previous home own not me) mulberry roots can be quite invasive and can cause plumbing issues (by damaging the pipes) so you are better off only planting them in pots unless you want to go weeks without washing your hands or flushing the toilet and pay someone oodles of cash to dig up the ground in order to fix said pipe.

      Golden Delicious is one of the best pollinators. I don’t like them that much as the flavor profile is less intense compared to a Honeycrisp or a Zestar, but plan on planting a dwarf one next year to increase the productivity of all my apple trees.

    Zone 9
    25x10 area
    Full shade 5-6 hours of very filtered light due to two live oaks a fence and house.
    Preferably a height of no more than 8 feet.
    No blueberry or blackberries, I already have those
    If you know of something that thrives in those conditions, I would love to hear any suggestions. It’s not easy finding something that meets all those specs. Especially the lack of sunlight.

    • @PlantFanatics
      @PlantFanatics  2 місяці тому

      Many beginner gardeners are initially unaware of how to properly prune an apple tree, and understanding the nuances of pruning a multi-graft tree is often even more challenging. However, I did observe an apple tree with multiple varieties grafted onto it during a visit to my local Home Depot.

      The University of Saskatchewan has developed several seriously cold-hardy cherries (Romance series) that have been grown in the Canadian prairies, which can be Zone 2. There are shrub and dwarf tree varieties, ranging from sweet to semi-sweet. Bonus: Most are self-pollinating! Varieties: Juliet, Romeo, Valentine, Crimson Passion...

    Please don't rely solely on pruning when it comes to size of tree. If you want a small tree, buy one that's grafted onto a rootstock that keeps it small. If you buy a fruit tree on a large growing rootstock and try and keep it small purely by pruning you will have very reduced fruiting and a lot more work! Heavy pruning encourages growth, but NOT fruiting!

    • @PlantFanatics
      @PlantFanatics  3 місяці тому

      While pruning does support new vegetative growth, when done properly it also helps push the trees into larger crops of fruit. Just because a plant has the label of dwarf does not mean its stature will be hindered by leaps and bounds. For instance, a dwarf apple tree that is not heavily pruned will still reach heights of 30 feet. Growing standard trees and pruning them at the right time and the right way can be an amazing way to keep trees small, productive, and healthy. A fruit tree that is not fruiting means the trees fruiting wood has been removed, meaning it was pruned improperly.

    • @alexmayer9159
      @alexmayer9159 3 місяці тому

      @@PlantFanatics You CAN keep them in check with pruning, but why make the extra work for yourself? There are rootstocks that will never let a tree reach 30 feet. If you know from the start that you want a small tree, then why make the extra work for yourself to buy one on a large rootstock? And there is no way to HARD prune a vigorous tree that will NOT hinder fruit production. It's just a pointless way to make your gardening harder and less enjoyable.
