great video I love your channel. would you make any tweeks to your tropical fruit forest set up if you were to live on the fringes of the valley to the east? I live in zone 9b but its considered the sierra nevada foothills(Jackson, CA) I know the cherimoya and the oak leaf papaya work here. Ive been able to keep a starfruit,a jaboticabara, and an ice cream bean trees alive in pots too.
You’re northeast of Stockton, and as such your region is very slightly warmer than mine, though as you’re more near the foothills, this results in the creation of its own microclimate. I’d definitely try growing the trees you’ve mentioned. If you watched some of my previous videos, many of my starfruit and ice cream bean trees died to the roots, however, the trees eventually acclimated and are now thriving. As for jaboticaba, they should be fine, unprotected, as they are one of the hardier tropical fruit trees. I’d still try to create a nice microclimate, especially to block the wind in your case.
Thank you. Although not mentioned in this video, both trees are doing extremely well thanks to the Ice Cream Bean trees, providing shade to the trees during the summer months.
I love this tropical density ! gorgeous ! how do the Red tropical guava varieties (malaysian and thai ) handle the cold and how do they taste compared to the yellow ones ? good luck with the incoming cold wave and the 0 degrees, I will also get one soon in Pégomas in the french mediterranean riviera
Thank you. The Red Malaysian Guava handles the cold without any issues. Concerning the taste, the fruits have to be ripe, otherwise it tastes a bit bitter, but overall, very good, when ripe.
Not gonna lie, I love how guava heavy the front yard is. I’m trying to buy as many edible fruiting species seeds as I can find in the myrtaceae family and annonaceae family. I’m lookin for other things like various inga species, sapindaceae family and pretty much whatever I can get my hands on from supermarkets…I think my favorite front yard trees of yours are the inga (I’m assuming edulis), red Malaysian guava and cherimoya. They always look great and while the inga and guava stand out more to me every episode I see them, yours is one of the bigger cherimoya I’ve seen. That and I love the taste of the 2 varieties of cherimoya I’ve had so far…keep up the good work! Lookin forward to the next one!
Thank you. Yeah, the addition of guava, and Inga (mine are Edulis) varieties in the front yard is by design as these trees can definitely take the full summer sun, while tolerating the winter. I have them to protect nearby trees, such as the mangoes.
@ that’s funny, I’ve been thinking of using them as shade for other species too. If they transpire enough, then I’ll slide some humidity loving plants under as well…gonna be a while till I get to that point, but I may as well start planning.
Totally, that’s actually why I have my two large cherimoya trees (the other tree not shown in the video) smack right in the middle, for added humidity to increase self-pollination.
@ nice strategy! Do you still do supplemental humidity with the hose like in the video where you explained the self pollination for the back yard annonas? Or does it become unnecessary when strategically placed?
Hi I have a question about papaya trees, why do some of them rot at ground level? One of mine rots at ground level but when I looked, the underground roots are fine.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe you are in the Elk Grove region; as your temperature has been in the 30°s, this can cause the papaya trees to go into decline. Additionally, the added humidity from the cold doesn’t help either, and instead, introduces fungal issues, which the papaya trees are easily susceptible to. The trick with papaya trees is to ensure they were planted in super, crazy well draining soil when young. This gives them the best chance at overcoming winter.
There’s likely nothing that can be done. With papaya trees, once the rotting is spotted near the base of the roots. If the rot happened near the top, or several feet from the root, the tree may be cut and new branches grow to replace the leader branch.
Good morning sir, I had a question for your drone intro. I started a channel last year and wanted to use a drone as an intro as well. As i was searching for drones i came across an article about FAA Part 107 certificate. Did you have to get your license?
I’ve been using the DJI Mini drones. These drones are under the magical number of 250 grams, which do not require any licensing or registration. For beginners, I recommend the new DII Flip.
Finally I got to know all the varieties! Thank you for the review! ❤🙏
You’re very welcome z
Love the survey of all the cool fruit trees you have. Maybe the back yard next?
Thank you.
Yes, the backyard is a bit large, so hence, the two part video.
It's been a very mild winter. SF set a record yesterday with 70f.
Wow, that’s spring temperature.
Hopefully the pattern continues for you guys.

The sidewalk mango trees are looking very good and growing fast

I do, especially towards the evenings in the early summer months before the temperature gets near the 90°’s.

@@TropicalCentralValley does this ever happen to you? If it happens, what can you do to fix it?
There’s likely nothing that can be done. With papaya trees, once the rotting is spotted near the base of the roots.
If the rot happened near the top, or several feet from the root, the tree may be cut and new branches grow to replace the leader branch.
Are some of your small mangos in full shade?
Yes. The super young ones.

Ohhhh thank you so much I so much appreciate it sir.
You’re very welcome.
Very mild here so far in the Bay Area only 2 light frosts so far my bananas have stayed green when last year their leaves would’ve been burnt by now
Nice.
It’s been cold lately in my region. It was 32°F this morning and forecasted to remain in the low 30°s for the next 10 days.
2! ;)
Thank you.
