Been a cool summer (seemed to me anyway) low alt inland farther NorCali, barely topped 105 a few times, usually get couple weeks of 110 plus. I don't do shade cloth, most of my young avos are thriving but they have tree shade after 2pm or so, watered every 2 to 3 days and wood chip mulched.
Here murrieta, ca had to add shade cloth to my Hass. Most of my new growth got toasted. Doing a lot better with shade cloth all around and growing strong now.
what i noticed in past few years with my lemons and citruses are , Iron def occurs during hot summer days , but plant recover it when temps go below 30C . This thing mostly happens on my Limequat , Kaumquat , Keylime and Calamondin Orange
I live down here at Lake Chapala, Jalisco State in México. It has been one of the coolest summers and rainiest that I can remember in years. It stays in the mid 70´s, we get most of our rains only at night and it has been raining almost every single night for the past month and a half. You need to wear a sweater in the mornings and in the evenings. It has been mostly over cast for weeks and weeks. Powdery mildew is a major problem this season. We do most of our vegetable growing in the winter dry season and dry spring, the rains start up mid-June. But boy things are green and gorgeous down here with super cool weather for the month of August. I can´t complain, my fruit trees are doing marvelously.
I love your videos. I am in a great position coming up in the fact that i am looking for a house. I have to love in the north part of the valley since i work in carefree and my husband works downtown. We lived in the tatum and bell area of n. Phx for years. That is where we will be again but now i know exactly what i want in my yard and how to do it. I know from watching you that im working on the yard first and placing my orders for trees, bamboo and worm casings as soon as i know how much a what i need since it might take awhile. This makes looking at himes totally different....or should i say, looking at yards. Lol
Good after noon fellow Arizonan. Thank you for the good information. Creating proper micro-climate is important. I am embarking on a new Gardening Adventure: To grow and expand on converting my yard into a Urban Garden and or Food Forest.
Yes leave the weeds they are beautiful. Very good for the environment. Provides shelter for native species. Consider throwing milk weed out there also. Even creates food for birds. Also cools your yard down and doesn't contribute to heating up the city.
Same thing I'm thinking, "plant the weeds you want or get the weeds you don't", I haven't figured out ground cover crops yet but I use heavy wood chip mulch which really helps, especially reducing watering.
Hello My pink guava is doing great here in Greenville. Had it on patio all summer. How much growth or new leave set should I allow to grow before I prune to grow more branches? Purchased at your spot. Thank you for the video. I love your place.
Beautiful plants, inspiring as always, Shamus. I'm wondering, do you use any specific rootstock for your mangos? Obviously most that are available are Florida trees (generally Turp rootstock), but I have seen some nurseries that do Manila rootstock and know Manila's to be overall one of the most tolerant trees with disease/root conditions/overhead water, and so on. I have also seen in the case of Maha Chanoks and Mallika and other Thai varieties that sometimes they are simply air layered or polyembryonic seedlings. Your videos are very informative as always, cheers to your success with the Jambu/June plum/Jackfruit and other "more finicky" tropicals!
Love to see these lil tours to see what's working and how, gives me ideas in sort of similar climate 9a far NorCali low alt inland. Lazy my ass--I see a lot of work involved especially the fabric changes. I envy the flood irrigation, that's a major asset and it's the only thing that completely eradicates gophers which are one of my biggest problems...my cat's usually get them eventually but a lot of damage can occur. Phoenix has relatively poor quality river water I understand but it get's the job done.
Thank you for all the good tips. We’ll be stopping by to pick up a few more trees from you. One question...do you allow customers to taste the fruit if they’re ripe?
Ive been watching all these videos and Im really surprised no one ever brings up critters or snakes. Im in AZ as well and have not seen any myself in the years ive been here so far but Im just surprised.
Don't the sweer potatoe vine and melon ground cover compete with the soil nut r ients needed by your fruit tree??. Dont they hinder your watering of your trees by their roots since the ground cover are blocking it?
Hey Shamus, I live in the Mojave desert of California. It is a very dry zone 8B. Summers get to 115, winters are short but can hit 15-20. I have had success with apples, cherries, pears, peaches, plums, and pomegrates. Are there any tropical fruits that could make it through our colder winters? Thanks!
want to ask off topic question . How long Lemon Plant (Finger Lime) can survive in shipping . This is 1st time i ordered something online and couldnt able to get answers from forum sites , its been 3 days since dispatched
Is this the tropical pit that you dug out 3' of native soil and filled back in with perfect soil? ua-cam.com/video/o7OorlcN6C8/v-deo.html What is your ph testing at right now? Spot on with the ground cover...living mulch is better than wood chips. The mango I bought from you (3 gal) last Fall was not babied this year by shade cloth, is in full sun and is looking great. Okinawa spinach covering the base made all the difference along with some sulpher. Will be interesting to see the fruit set after a full year in ground...thanks for the update!
I would think it may be an issue but in my opinion it is what it is. Rattlers warn you. What else do we have out here? Plus with the walking paths he talked about less of a chance? Im new here and where I come from we have copperheads and cotton mouth.
@@sandierzeszutko8192 I have cottonmouths in South Florida and they like hanging in my backyard from time to time. I think weeds are super dangerous. Arizona might be different though
OH...and flood irrigation will probably not allow rattlers to live there, one of the benefits of flooding in my experience is it's the ONLY thing that entirely eradicates gophers.
You better get use to the hottest summers! You should look at other countries who are first world countries on how to deal with this climate and climate change. I hope you are not that 35 to 40% of Americans that do not believe in climate change. It is not a hoax as your leader says.
I like long videos because you share a lot of knowledge 🙏
Love the updated Videos Shamus . Cant wait to get back to phoenix to start tearing up my yard for all the great trees i am going to get from you !
DR. O'Leary thank you for showing us how to grown tropical fruit in the dessert.
Nice job. Good to see which ones will make it without completely babysitting it. I want to stop by and check it out
Beautiful garden!!!! Like a paradise!
Great video. I think 10 to 15 minutes is a great time length for it.
Great video shamus👍 would love to see a full garden tour
Don't apologise for the length of the video - it was very interesting..
Been hot here in So. Cal also. Many days around 105. My avocado trees are also under 30% shade and have continued growing.

Can you please talk in Fahrenheit so the majority of the worldwide UA-cam audience is confused except the American audience

Don't be sorry for the long video. I would not mind it being 30 minutes or longer.
If I ever won the lottery... Shamus would end up a millionaire by the time he was finished with my yard. 😉
Better have a plan no one wins the lottery, lol. (tho TSLA seemed a bit like it, HA!)

Great update video. Can you do a video on iron and manganese deficiency and how you feed trees with micro nutrient? Look forward.
That dwarf coconut has me excited, I'm excited for the spring update to see how it does in the winter
Good after noon fellow Arizonan.

Hey there... was there yesterday, bought a couple more tropicals including a loquat.. keep em coming.
Yes leave the weeds they are beautiful. Very good for the environment. Provides shelter for native species. Consider throwing milk weed out there also. Even creates food for birds.
Also cools your yard down and doesn't contribute to heating up the city.
Very nice looking mango trees. And great info. How far apart were your mango trees.
8ft on center, I believe
GREAT video! I have hope, ad infinitum!
Love it Shamus.
Solid use of ground cover, need to get to that level. Just have native grass but as it cools off, I will be seeding some cover crops
Same thing I'm thinking, "plant the weeds you want or get the weeds you don't", I haven't figured out ground cover crops yet but I use heavy wood chip mulch which really helps, especially reducing watering.
Enjoyed it 🌱🌱🌱

Good morning! 😊
WEATHER AS A WEAPON..4TH GEN WARFARE. That said, nice work maintaining those plants!
Nice video, thank you!
Ironically my tropicals are doing great, but my cacti are dying.
lol

green sapote is a tricky one i have one big one and found they like very filterd light

planted 8 shade trees on my new property in phoenix, next spring looking forward to buying some trees from you shamus.
Thank you for all the good tips. We’ll be stopping by to pick up a few more trees from you. One question...do you allow customers to taste the fruit if they’re ripe?
Ive been watching all these videos and Im really surprised no one ever brings up critters or snakes. Im in AZ as well and have not seen any myself in the years ive been here so far but Im just surprised.
Is there a winter update video? Couldn’t find one for this experiment
Awesome tropicals! But all that nightshade... I absolutely hate that plant. Is there any benefit to allowing it to grow?
My sugarcane and strawberry guava died. They both are next to an eastern wall. All my citrus are doing well. I'm in Buckeye
Do those papayas get heavy soakings in the winter? I always thought they were rot-prone if wet at low temperatures
Don't the sweer potatoe vine and melon ground cover compete with the soil nut r ients needed by your fruit tree??. Dont they hinder your watering of your trees by their roots since the ground cover are blocking it?
Water wise it sounds like he's soaking it for several hours so maybe not an issue
How cold hardy is your coconut
Hey Shamus my mitragaia speciosa is doing awesome under 50% shade and an hour of water everyday
I had a papaya that grew as a volunteer...wondering what I should feed it thanks!
Love your mango heaven
Hi, I am new to your channel. Can you elaborate on Nam Doc Mai mango of when it blooms and what month it bears and ripen?
Hottest summer in the past five years in southern Utah, one heavy rainstorm.
Hey Shamus, I live in the Mojave desert of California. It is a very dry zone 8B. Summers get to 115, winters are short but can hit 15-20. I have had success with apples, cherries, pears, peaches, plums, and pomegrates. Are there any tropical fruits that could make it through our colder winters? Thanks!
The comment about weeds being a good ground cover, no need for wood chips, or sweet potato/melon, also works, is notable.
Going to start a heated commercial greenhouse in the next year up in st johns. What do you think I should put in it?
What are you using for the structure for the shade cloth?
Thx for the info on the shade cloth. No wonder my young avocado tree is nearly dead...
With that kind of heat and lack of precipitation, you may as well be in a desert.
want to ask off topic question . How long Lemon Plant (Finger Lime) can survive in shipping . This is 1st time i ordered something online and couldnt able to get answers from forum sites , its been 3 days since dispatched
Need all of this variety in my food forest... Any hope of using my property as a showcase and installing a food forest for free? lol 😂
Get back on Facebook, it’s boring without you.
😅😅😅
You are growing a Coconut too???
don't the weeds take the water and food? i was always told that. good to know they can grow with my fruit trees
Hi! Can I buy an aravaipa seed anywhere?
Who made your shade structures?
*Cocos nucifera* !!!!!!!
Arent you worried about snakes?
Do you have any pawpaw fruit trees
One Green World sells pawpaw trees online. I have bought a bunch from them. Shamus does not carry unfortunately.
Grow a peepal tree please

No, that was the mango house.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Question is it dangerous to let the weeds grows with poisonous snakes?
I would think it may be an issue but in my opinion it is what it is. Rattlers warn you. What else do we have out here? Plus with the walking paths he talked about less of a chance? Im new here and where I come from we have copperheads and cotton mouth.
@@sandierzeszutko8192 I have cottonmouths in South Florida and they like hanging in my backyard from time to time. I think weeds are super dangerous. Arizona might be different though
@@hope1275 always good food for thought!!!
Only rattlers I think and they don't like damp green areas much in my experience, nor found in populate areas usually.
OH...and flood irrigation will probably not allow rattlers to live there, one of the benefits of flooding in my experience is it's the ONLY thing that entirely eradicates gophers.
