I’ve watched your videos since you started and it inspired me to get land and start a food forest. But it’s awesome to see the progression not only of the food forest but the design changes as well
Thanks so much! I learned so much from other UA-cam channels that I wanted to share my own experiences in the hopes that it would help others. So awesome to hear you have your own forest going. 🤙
Wow congrats on the peanut breakthrough! Your Envira Caju looks good, should fruit soon. Mine fruited this year and the fruit was... interesting. Let me know how you like it when yours fruits.
Potassium. High potassium like a 0-0-50 will get you wonderful flowering. Potassium sulphate which contains 5% sulphur your trees will love it. Organic.
Mahalo! I get things from all over; I’m always on the lookout. I have gotten a bunch of “Plant it Hawai’i” grafted trees from Michael at “Elemental.” I sometimes find cool stuff for good prices at “Garden Exchange” in Hilo. Quite a few of my Ulu have come from the Ulu Coop. I also grow from seed and cuttings, trade plants with people and have been gifted quite a few things from other farmers. Lmk if there are good sources I should check out 🤙
@@ainabearfarm8075I’ve been to Elemental and plan to go back. We now live in Honoka’a so it’s pretty handy :) I will check out the other places. Thanks!
can't remember you mentioning these... chrysophyllum imperiale - gorgeous tree with tasty fruit mammea americana kwai muk dovyalis caffra ficus auriculata - there’s a variety that will ripen without pollination, taste like strawberries butia capitata (jelly palm) spondias tuberosa (and other species) davidsonia pruriens - sour fruit but beautiful tree garcinia luc’s garcinia russell's sweet pitomba (eugenia luschnathiana) syzygium malaccense (mountain/malay apple) saw your comment regarding durian, here are the gateway drugs... durian ice cream -> durian smoothies -> frozen durian -> fresh durian (bsf premium quality) -> other fresh durians
Mahalo for this great list! I do have some very good mountain apple trees but the others would be new to me. Do you have any good recommendations for sources?
A lot to name but I’ll give it a shot. Some of these there are multiple varieties: mango, ulu, lychee, longon, rambutan, langsat, mangosteen, achaicharu, white sapote, black sapote, mamey sapote, star apple, star fruit, soursop, cherimoya, rollinia, beach sugar apple, envira caju, feijoa, lemon, lime, tangerine, avocado, jaboticaba, Mac nut, grumichama, acerolo cherry, Malabar chestnut, elderberry, peach palm, coconut, jackfruit, sapodillo, and loquat. I think that’s all of them 😂
Thank you. I personally can’t stand Durian and my wife has banned it from the farm due to the smell. I know many people love it but to me it tastes like garlic soaked in gasoline 😂
@@ainabearfarm8075 that's too bad! i took my family to BI looking for fresh durian but couldn't find any. now i see some people selling them for $10/lb
it's a beautiful thing you have going on. well done
What a great forest. Good work.

Haha interesting huh? Thanks Joe! I’ll definitely let you know when it starts fruiting 🤙
Malabar chestnut can be struck with cuttings in case you didnt know:)

Looks so good!
Thanks man. It’s been a good balance of rain so far this year. Hopefully that continues

Great to see what’s going on. Where do you get your plants?

you get any mildew issues with growing comfrey?
Yes and I usually try to chop and drop it when it gets mildewy
