Wow I live 11 min from Nick. Thanks Paul this is exactly what I need. Even the place where he gets his potting soil is 5 min from me I’m super excited about this growing season. Thanks again.
Nick is my first nursery that started my fruit tree obsession 😍 you need to visit Andy in St. Cloud he has a huge East Indian mango tree, along with big Soursop tree. These guys are nailing growing tropical trees in subtropical environments
I started all my mango trees and many other fruit trees from Nick. He'll tell you what you can grow and what you cannot. I have mango trees fruiting now...I have persimmon, lemon, lime, pomelo, various banana trees and pineapple. AND I love my welcome from Bleu
I have bought alot of stuff from Nick Achacha, araza Boi, jabadacaba, finger limes, banannas, bilimbi, gooseberry, pitangatuba, and the list goes on. He is my source for alot of hard to find stuff. 👍👍
@@nuroldemirbag2798 There’s a chance we’ll have a freeze or two in January and February, but the trees in the ground are usually fine. The ones in containers need to be covered if we have a freeze
Great video! My wife and I are moving to Inverness and Nick can be a great resource for us finding the right plants to fit the climate. Keep up the good work and spreading the word about growing your own food!
I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m planning on filling my tiny 9B yard with espalier tropical trees. Any examples of that here in FL would be awesome.
I live near downtown Orlando. Zone 9 if you believe the USDA's 2012 zone map. Personally, I believe I am already zone 10, and I think when the new zone map is published, the zones will have migrated far to the north. It got down to 31°C for two nights last year for a couple of hours, but that is the first freeze we've had in many years. I have mango (3 varieties), avocado (3 varieties), macadamia, carambola, custard apple, jaboticaba (3 varieties), achachairu, lemondrop mangosteen, persimmon (2 varieties), peach, white sapote, pomegranate, jackfruit-chempedek hybrid, ackee, acerola, lychee, longan, banana, papaya, olive, pineapple, peanutbutter fruit, pitangatuba, etc. None of those trees were damaged by cold, but I had some coffee trees that were killed by 31° temps.
I too used to believe that story that global warming would cause the zone maps to be moved up north and i would move up a zone….until i got hit by a 28F hard freeze last year for 2 nights back to back and lost a bunch of trees. And I’m over 100 miles south of you in zone 10a. Not buying that story anymore. The cold isn’t going anywhere, we simply had a La Niña for 3 consecutive years that fooled people into thinking so.
UPDATE: The US Department of Agriculture has published their updated 2023 plant hardiness zone map, and the USDA agrees with me - Orlando is solidly in Zone 10a. planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/system/files/FL150_HS.png
Welcome to Central Florida. I’m in Orlando born in Melbourne Fl and we grow mangos and other fruit for years! When are you coming by my friend The Orlando Gardner again? Love your video. God bless you
@@somerandomperson1503 thanks a bunch. I really enjoy citrus. I do have a finger lime and sugar belle. They are newer trees for me. I know a Professor at UC Riverside has made tremendous progress on preventing greening and curing. It's not public ally available yet.
@@drticktock4011 good luck! I like citrus a lot too. For me i currently grow OLL-4, Sugar Belle, Eureka, Bearss and sour orange….the lemons, sour orange and the Sugar Belle have all performed really well so far in spite of clearly having greening. It’s like they have it but don’t seem to care. They grow fine and make decent fruit without any special treatment. I got the OLL-4 orange just recently so cant comment on it yet, but i have high hopes for it.
@SomeRandomPerson best place to plant citrus Is under oak trees. University of florida is spending millions of dollars to figure the symbiotic relationship. If you have ever been out in the woods of central Florida. Wild citrus grows all over. Those trees are healthy and resistant to greening with zero human input
There is one great tropical fruit that any fruit lovers in America could find easily, but i don't hear a lot of people outside of where it grows talking about it. That fruit is called Sticking Toe. As the name says, the fruit has a strong smell like dirty socks and toe infection, but just like Durian, the taste is incredible! I am from Jamaica where it grows a lot and are loved by children. I think that is a fruit that would grow easily in Florida. The fruit is in a hard shell pod, that requires cracking with something heavy to get to the fruit. The fruit is a dry, cream colored, powdery residue sticking to 2 to 3 large brown seeds. Anyone who has ever had Horlicks as a kid, it is similar in taste to this fruit.

Durian, no. Purple mangosteen (Garcenia mangosteena), probably not. But achachairu or bolivian mangosteen (G. humilis) and lemondrop mangosteen (G. intermedia) can be grown as far north as Sanford.
Nice tour but JABOS don’t like it wet. This is a myth! Sure, they will survive but if you inspect the roots, you will see they constantly loose feeder roots when wet and the taproot saves them..
Thanks paul. Was my pleasure having you stop by
I have mango, guava, plums, star, sugar apple, star apple, pomegranate, papaya, bananas, grapefruit, passion fruit, Barbados cherry, tamarind, longan, pineapples, and avocados in Orlando 😎💪
Do you think the same will grow in Gainesville, Fl?

Hey I know Nick! I live about 20 minutes from his place. Great guy. Bought some nice trees from him

I mention Andy to paul
Andy has a nursery open to the public too?
@@jeremymessing6483 no he don’t

Very cool and knowledgeable guy, i got most of my fruit trees from him. Thanks Paul for showing him to the fruitful tree enthusiasts 😀😀😀
I can’t stop watching your videos. I’m planning on filling my tiny 9B yard with espalier tropical trees. Any examples of that here in FL would be awesome.
I have several central Florida videos about about to upload
I appreciate this video. I’m in Tampa bay so I will definitely be reaching f out to Nick and visiting the farm. New subscribers
I bought bare root strawberries from Nick a couple of years ago. Very responsive with text. Seems like a great guy.
Nick's Edibles is the best!
Great video..I’m at the end of 9b growing alot of tropical fruit 👍
LOVE your channel and videos!!! They're a wealth of knowledge!

Quite the tour really enjoyed all the varieties! Thanks for providing the contact info.
Oh my! Got to get that short cycle banana! Nice place and seems like a great guy.
Love all your videos.
Fantastic! Loved it! Thanks! 🌼
Great vid. I'm in 9B too and I may need to replace some citrus trees (greening😢). So this will be me an opportunity to put in some new ones.
For citrus greening tolerance try the following,
Oranges: OLL-4
Mandarins: Sugar Belle (recommended), Marathon or Tango
Lemon: Eureka, Bearss (yellow lemon) or Lisbon
Miscellaneous: sour oranges, finger limes
@@somerandomperson1503 thanks a bunch. I really enjoy citrus. I do have a finger lime and sugar belle. They are newer trees for me.

Awesome! Thanks for this video!
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the video.... I learnt a lot.

Nice VW Bus!
You can see my type 3 squareback in the top left corner of the beginning of the video
I got to check out Nick’s
Did you stop by today?
St. Cloud my hood 😊.
apple next to mango!
Can I grow mangosteen and durian in Fort Lauderdale area?
Durian, no. Purple mangosteen (Garcenia mangosteena), probably not. But achachairu or bolivian mangosteen (G. humilis) and lemondrop mangosteen (G. intermedia) can be grown as far north as Sanford.
Do you still have grafted persimmon trees for sale?
Do you grow lanzones fruit trees there?

I’m looking to buy strawberries. I’m in Ocoee/Gotha.
Nice tour but JABOS don’t like it wet. This is a myth! Sure, they will survive but if you inspect the roots, you will see they constantly loose feeder roots when wet and the taproot saves them..
Jabos are a swamp tree in its native environment
I bought an avocado tree from here ... But sadly I ran it over with the lawnmower.... 😢
Shalom and thank you for this video!
Loquats grow stupid fast in this sandy soil!
I wonder if he sell Pakistan mulberry trees
Anyone interested in purple sugar apple trees aka sweet sop. I have some for sale in the miami area.
