What's your favorite variety of your favorite fruits? Let me know, and I'd love to make a point of trying it! Mine below: Mango - Karen Michelle Jujubee - GA866 Avocado - Monroe/Hall Mulberry - Pakistan
Very good video this should help a lot of people just starting out to pick the right trees. I do not have any apples growing here in the panhandle of Florida because I don’t care for the taste of any varieties I can grow in my area, but I have a lot of fruit trees growing that I like. I pretty much have either fruit or berries 12 months out of the year out of my yard which makes me very happy.
Some Mangos I bought for taste, some for productivity and disease resistance and some because of when they produce. I watched a lot of taste testing as well. I wish I could try more varieties
Thank you so much! I was at the Big Box store last week and came home to research the trees they were selling. Too many can't even grow in our area! May I ask where you got your GA866 jujube, Karen Michelle Mango & the avocado trees you mentioned.
Glad I could help Marlene. The GA866 came from Four Winds Growers (Google their website). Karen Michelle came from A Tropical Concept in downtown Phoenix (I mispoke, they are not a new nursery, I just hadn't been there before). The avocados came from Green Life Nursery in Phoenix.
Figs, lychee(There are dozens originated in Asia and there are varieties in Mexico), starfruit, loquats, guava…Even some stone fruit such as peaches, plums can be named of their varieties but there are just too many of them😂
@@shanjiang3244 Of course lychee has named varieties. It has been cultivated in China for countless centuries. That does not mean different varieties are easy to locate in south Florida. Mamey sapote and sapodilla cultivars would probably be easier to locate.

I've tried several varieties of avocados 🥑 and you are right Fuerte does a lot better than Hass. I've also had pretty good luck with Zutano Avocado.
Good to know - thank you! My zutano has struggled a bit this summer, but finally put on new growth this week with the monsoon's humidity.
That mango tasting group is amazing. Need to look for something like that 😂
It's an awesome group. Join the California Rare Fruit Grower's magazine, and you get access to all sorts of events if you have a local chapter.
@@TouchGrassGardening I tried to join the CRFG at the scion exchange but they couldn’t take my money 😂. Totally forgot about it!

Outside of mango, avocado and citrus what has named varieties? Most minor tropical fruit trees do not.
Figs, lychee(There are dozens originated in Asia and there are varieties in Mexico), starfruit, loquats, guava…Even some stone fruit such as peaches, plums can be named of their varieties but there are just too many of them😂
