When you love growing and a collector of trees, it's impossible not to have a yard like this. When you have a vision and can see it clearly, it becomes reality. I started growing fruit trees last year. I'm 16 trees in, and im running out of space. Every tree is in container once I get acreage, they will go into the ground. I go for exotics, medicinals, and spices. Basically, things I buy from grocery stores. Every time I grocery shop, the list is becoming shorter. Thanks for another great video. It really helps us out.
I found ferns to be a good ground cover. Boston fern, is always green, it spreads slowly so multiple roots should be planted. It doesn't let any other weeds to grow as it's very dense, and that density retains a lot of water, it doesn't let it run. They thrive in very poor soil. I love them.
Love Pete His nursery is on my Bucket list. Pete is 💯% right and you can do his system in a small Space. I’ve watch him and Jim Kovaleski and it is ABSOLUTELY do able. I’m doing it. I just unvailed a cover crop layered wood chip Pile that is LOADED with mycorrhizal fungi. And yes my yard now looks very jungley but the soil is improving It’s do able. I use rain barrels for drought times. No irrigation
I have picked up some great knowledge from both UA-cam channels over the years, you have both influenced my growing all the way in Australia! Keep up the great work.
2:45 I am very thankful I didn’t just save this and watched it for a few minutes first. I feel familiar with Pete from the Jim K videos and such but I’m ashamed I didn’t know the back story with moms. This is very similar to my situation and I’m extremely inspired that the timing worked out so I could see this right now. It makes the path seem so much more bright as I walk on. Fruitful trees you kill it every time with your stuff!!! Have a laid back day brother!! 🤙🪱
Should have kept the video going! When he started talking about 12 degrees, I was really wanting to hear what he had to say either way. I love seeing his property! He doesn't make enough videos about his own property.
I would say Paul, I watch all of Pete’s videos. The syntropic system that looks overrun is just due to Pete and crew having a lot going on. In past videos it has not looked weedy. They made the rows into garden beds, but the guy who managed it moved onto something different on another property.
Great video, Paul. This is a question for you or Pete (or anyone else out there): I have a Sapodilla that I planted in the ground 2 years ago, so it's probably 3 or 4 years old. It flowers a few times a year, but the flowers always turn brown, dry up and fall off. Do you think it's because the tree isn't mature enough yet to fruit yet, or is it because of something in the environment (soil or not enough water - I irrigate it regularly so the soil never dries completely)? I should tell you that it is in full sun... and oh yeah, I'm in Los Angeles, not Florida. But the tree looks healthy. The leaves are green all year round, including after a few mid 30s winter nights and several 100+ summer days. Thanks.
@@mgs721 a grafted variety will usually be a known producer and not have issues with pollination/ fruit set. Seedlings can have unpredictable behavior and usually take a lot longer to flower and set fruit
@@madfarm Got it, thanks. Like I said, it's been flowering for a couple years already, so that's promising. And I bought it from a nursery, so I doubt it's a seedling... hopefully.
Red Clattley Guava increase the fruitfly pest, they're a magnet as soon as the fruitfly finds them. Fruits get totally infested, even before they're ripe. Had to cut a 10 yr old one down, and the taste was mediocre for a Guava. The only good thing about them is they they're tough plants, can take Central Florida cold winters without damage. The wood is very tough, the base of the stump still hasn't rotted after 10 years
It's not rock. The right word is rack. Which is the right word, I guess it's same. Those two are both collective nouns. But I don't care. Here in my country, we call all toothpastes Colgate. Whether it's aquafresh, Crest , or sensodine😅
I’ve been tuned in to Pete’s YT for many years. Love this guy , always sharing his wealth of knowledge, he has a great spirit. God Bless the gardener.
Awesome, love green dreams.

Enjoy the journey
WOW what a great place,
Crazy his knowledge with it all and he knows exactly what each tree is.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH

Thank you very much Paul for the two videos with Pete Kanaris. You always learn something new from him.
Amazing! I’m right down the street from his nursery. Next time you’re in the neighborhood stop by 👍
Oh… didn’t know you were over on that side

Super interview
We love Pete!
Pete is the Greatest Researcher of plants edible and ornamental
I've got a tropical farm, too. It's GREAT fun.

Thanks Paul that was great.

Great yard tour Pete.
Everything is looking amazing.
Great job putting Spring Hill on the map 🫡
Pete is an inspiration. Love the content. This was inspiring and amazing!

Is it a grafted variety?
@@madfarm I bought it from a large local nursery, so I assume it is. Why?

@@mgs721 try giving it a micronutrient fertilizer and ir bloom booster and make sure it is properly irrigated

Just like our ancestral origins, genetic biodiversity so that we can embrace an unbroken symbiotic relationship with tropical exotic angiosperms.
