Tropical fruit trees after a hard freeze🥶

- This is five days after the freeze in zone 9b Florida. Our low in my area was 25 Degrees. Some mango trees were damaged but overall everything else looks fine. How did your garden do??
Great video. Good to see that most of you tropicals survived the cold in good shape.
@@myexoticfoodplants6727 Thank you!!
Awesome video ❤ thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for watching
glad everything pulled through ! i would imagine the bananas will come back strong soon
Yes the bananas are already pushing new growth 👍👍 Thanks for watching
We are zone 9B on the east coast Amelia Island.. right on the salt marsh. No frost for a few years. Our Blue Java and Abasinian Banana all look great.. Philodendron Hope did great too, as did all our Sea Grape.
Oh wow you’re way up there that’s awesome!! Are you growing any mangoes??
Hi neighbor. Great video! We are in Lutz, FL right next to you. Happy to see that your trees made it through. We didn’t lose anything major either, just some frost burn on our papayas, longevity spinach, and Cuban oregano.
👋 I live in Lutz we might really be neighbors lol..The Mango vista is north of us. Glad to hear you didn’t suffer any major damage. I subscribe to your channel 👍👍
Wow, it really got cold there. Most of the trees held up pretty well, except for the breadfruit. I hope everything bounces back in a few weeks. Have a great week!
Yup🥶 if it wasn’t for the hurricane’s, I think the breadfruit would have done much better. Thanks 👊
Thank you for sharing your outcome. We recorded 26 in Spring Hill and it was coldest we’ve had in this area since I’ve been here. Your micro climate like the lake and big cypress trees are a huge help to your success… that’s awesome! Finger crossed 🤞🏼 on the breadfruit plant. How did your seedling project plants do?
Wow 26🥶 I hope your trees are ok. You’re right my micro climate saved the day. The seedlings did good. Thanks for reminding me, I need to make an update video. Seedling #2 seems to be the better one out of the two. I can’t wait for them to flower I think 2 more years. Thanks for watching 👊
Thanks for the video. Your trees are awesome!! I'm zone pushing here in Houston, which they reclassified as zone 9b, but it's really more like 9a in my opinion. We just had 4/5 inches of snow a few days ago and I covered my mango trees planted in ground and they're doing well. I'm assuming we'll get hit one more time with some cold weather in February. We shall see...
Thanks!! Good thing you covered them up, I hope the freeze is long gone. Good luck 🥭🥭
your trees looks great! I'm surprise how hardy the mangoes can be
Thank you!! They’re surprisingly tough. 👍
Here in Jacksonville, we had a hard frost the last day of that cold front. I covered some mangoes, others I didn't and they all have similar damage to the outer leaves. Not sure the cover did anything to prevent damage.
I recommend a cover if you’re going to build a structure. I stopped using frost cloth a couple years ago because when we got down into the high 20s, all the mangoes that were covered ended up with damage because I had the cover directly on top of the leaves. The ones uncover were fine. Jacksonville is a tough one good luck 👊
Farming is nice I grow the American Apple tree in Jamaica
Oh that’s awesome!!
Wow! Sorry to see the breadfruit :( Which mamey was the last one?? Our Lorrito flowered a month or so ago, at 2 feet. All was well in our garden, but at our parents a few blocks over, some damage on Carrie and Fairchild mangos.
I’m going to leave the breadfruit alone, no water or anything and see what happens. I noticed it did something very interesting but I’m waiting to see if it bounces back before i make a video about it 🤞.. It’s a Magana they are more cold hearty than some people think. Good to hear all is good at your place mango season should be really good for you🥭🥭 I didn’t think that side of town would get a freeze my Carrie and OS in Tampa look great.
I think Melbourne Australia might be the best and easiest place in the world to grow fruit. They get enough chill hours to grow stone fruit yet it never ever freezes so they can easily grow bananas and mango. It's probably better than southern California. Anyway good luck and I feel your pain. I'm up around Gainesville.
Melbourne is a great place to grow fruit trees but they have that clay soil that can be difficult for amateur growers also high heat with lil rain in some areas.. St. Petersburg, Florida is also a good one they have sandy and loam soil I’ve seen everything from vegetables, Stonefruit and ultra tropical fruits growing there. Thanks 👊
@themangovista only problem is Florida gets freezes sometimes hard freezes all the way to the bottom. But if it never freezes Florida would be top of the list.
Melbourne actually experiences more freezes than st. Petersburg, Fl and southern parts of Florida. I follow a few UA-camrs in Melbourne,I see their struggles. Freezes are very rare in southern parts of Florida. Google says it’s one every 10 years idk lol both places are better then where I’m at 🤣
@themangovista go watch George at real life fruitopia! He's been growing tropicals for years. I've never once seen freeze damage even on tender banana plants in the 8 years I been watching him.
He seems to struggle with mangoes very high heat in his area.
Looks like frost damage, I am willing to bet it did not get below freezing for any length of time.
How much $$ lol anything below 32 is considered freezing temperatures. When I got to the property it was 31 on the dash at 7am. My neighbor owns a nursery three minutes away,they recorded 26.
@themangovista at what elevation above the ground did they measure the 26 degrees? 26 at 2 meters means it was likely near 20 near the ground. To see temperatures like that on a radiational cooling night in Florida would mean you would have had temperatures below 32 for at least 8 hours. Those temperatures would have froze the water in the banana psuedostems and they would have flopped over. In addition the cold would have permeated the mango trees not just the top leaves. You would have had damage to all of the leaves not just the top exposed leaves. You would have had damage to stems and maybe the trunk. 26 degrees will kill small mango trees like yours. You just got superficial damage to the top leaves, and it was spotty very much a sign of frost damage. Finally, even if it was 26 degrees a few miles away, your property could and will be very different on radiational cooling nights. It all depends on soil types, elevation, proximity to water, sources of greenhouse gasses, density of houses etc. How much money are you willing to bet?
@themangovista please note I said below freezing "for any length of time." Your damage is consistent with a low of 31 with a short duration below freezing, not enough time to freeze anything, and mainly frost damage.
@@dansobien8196 I called the nursery to ask them for the elevation of the thermometer the lady hung up on me 🤷♂️
@@themangovista lol
I'm in new port richey. What part are you in?
@@ingarrajoey i’m right around the corner from you between Land O Lakes and Spring Hill
Did you spray anything to protect like Brassinolide?
Never heard of it I’ll check it out. Thanks
@ Brassinolide is a plant hormone that helps protect against light frosts and cold temperatures. I use it every year. We don’t cover any trees either.
Where are you located at?
I second Brassinolode & Sulfur mix
@@MangoManorMadness I will definitely look into that for next winter thank you so much for the information. I did a foliar spray late November that a friend recommended, but it was more of an all natural home remedy type of thing I don’t believe it does anything for frost protection. It just left a white residue on my leaves. I probably won’t do that again lol. i’m located north of Tampa between Land O Lakes and Spring Hill.
@ 👍
Which state and city are you located in?
Top secret 😆 FL🤫
Sorry Brother… you near Homossassa by chance??
I’m about 25 min away from there but I’m more Inland.
I'm in zone 11 South Florida, no frost and our lowest temperature was 44 degrees.
Nice!! You can grow some ultra tropical with those numbers 👍
Not bad but not 25 though everything would have fried looks mor like 33 for less than 2 hours.
For the record my ppl I never said my property was 25. Two very close nurseries near me recorded those temperatures one is very popular here on UA-cam (Green Dreams) he recorded 25 ppl can go watch their videos from last week. Those nurseries actually had thermometers at their properties. My car dash was at 31 when I pulled in. My microclimate definitely saved the day.
