Добавлен 18 авг 2020
Welcome to The Green Yard! My name is Schuyler and my wife and I just moved into a new house in the heart of Phoenix. Join me as I take the brown, slightly landscaped and mostly unusable yard into a beautiful, green, profitable and livable landscape. There are many plans in the works and plants in the ground. See you soon and remember to live green, plants lots and of course, have fun!
How's it Growing? Our Atemoya Tree after 1 Year in Phoenix, AZ! (Lots of Flowers and New Growth!)
Welcome back to The Green Yard and an exciting update video on one of our youngest fruit trees. Our Atemoya tree was planted in the Food Forest part of The Green Yard almost one year ago. It was originally planted from a small three gallon container and, while new growth has occurred, it is still on the small side. It has been putting out tons of flowers this spring and late summer. While I tried to hand pollinate some of them I was not successful. Hopefully as the tree matures I will be able to harvest some delicious fruit! Atemoya's do fruit here in the Phoenix area and are considered one of the more cold hardy members of the Custard Apple family. I feel that the new growth and flowers ...

How old is the Atemoya and is it a grafted tree? I'm.growing an atemoya it's seed grown, and currently has a growth spurt. It seems to like frequent watering.
Amazing video!😮 New subscriber now😊❤
Hello @ronm.catadman5102, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words and your subscription, let me know if you have any questions or want to learn more about a specific tree or plant.
Do you have a mamey tree?
Hello @infallibleProof, thank you for watching and commenting! I do not have a Mamey tree at this time. I do have several other Sapote trees though including a Black Sapote, Chico Sapote and White Sapote. I'm hoping to get a Mamey someday since I do enjoy the fruit! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Is it true African Tulip trees are poisonous to North American bees? Thank you.
Hello @MrOrcslayer, thank you for watching and commenting! I knew that they were toxic to some stingless bees in some tropical locations like Hawaii but not North American bees. So I did a little research and found that they are toxic to many bees and pollinating insects but it seems that the reason why is because the African Tulip flowers has very sticky nectar, which can inhibit flight in those insects. My tree has not flowered yet so I have not personally dealt with any of these issues but good information to know for those choosing to plant this tree in their Green Yard.
Great, love papaya❤ what is your papaya variety ? I live in California 9b zone.
Hello @annatian2006yoube, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words! If you love Papayas, definitely check out our harvesting video as well, ruclips.net/video/3EJqdSFTpQA/видео.html. From my understanding these are all Mexican Papayas. That's amazing that you live in zone 9b California, I think you should have no problem growing Papaya's there. Let me know if you have any other questions.
My lychee tree is not growing what could be the problem?
Hello @876Buckshots, thank you for watching and commenting! There could be several reasons why your Lychee may not be growing. The main one being that they like very acidic soil. Here in Phoenix, we have alkaline soil, so adding an amendment like agricultural sulfur can help to lower that PH and allow the tree to access any nutrients in the soil. The other reason may be that it is just taking it's time to grow. Lychees seem to be very slow growing here in the Phoenix area. They typically will put on new growth three to four times a year and generally it is only three to six inches at a time. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
@@thegreenyardaz thank you so much
you should have tittled this garden update. Next time when you make a video stick to the topic of the video
Hello @micahb-qb5wi, thank you for watching and commenting! I agree with you, I did make a mistake with this video and spent about half the time talking about other plants instead of the Monstera. I have worked on minimizing this in other videos and sticking to the topic at hand. I do appreciate you offering a suggestion as I did add in "garden update" to the title.
Hey, thank you! It was fun working with Schuyler. He did a great job editing the video.
Hey Ed! Thank you again for letting us film a tour of your beautiful Green Yard! I also really appreciate your kind words.
What the update on your mango tree brotha
Hello @user-cl9ew4ie4g, thank you for watching and commenting! Our tree is doing amazing and we actually did an update video this spring, which you can view here ruclips.net/video/vIFplp4Gr4A/видео.html. I am also going to be posting a harvesting/first taste test video here next week so definitely stay tuned for that. They are delicious Mangos!
I love the turtle sanctuary
Hello @champagnegardening5182, thank you for watching and commenting! I agree with you, Ed's turtle sanctuary is amazing!
What kind of sun protection do you give your mango trees? My Nam Doc Mei suffered some sunburn its first summer. It is under noon day shade and then I only had 30% shade cloth when it got hit with the western sun. This summer I gave it 60% shade cloth from the western sun and it’s looking super healthy. It almost died its first summer. I’m curious, did your dad’s OS mango survive? I had an Orange Sherbet mango that was getting too much radiant heat from two walls that were too close to my new tree. Had 30% shade cloth but just couldn’t survive its first summer. I know someone else whose OS died and learned from someone who grows them in Florida that they seem to be a little more delicate to get started. Plan on planting another mango since I’m finally having success.
Hello @daveaz9962, thank you for watching and commenting! I try to do full shade starting anywhere from 11am to 3pm. This mango in particular (now that it's older) gets shade from our house starting around 3pm in the summer. When I first started I would use old palm leaves to provide dappled shade until they got full shade from the house or our support trees. I have found that as they get older Mango's actually like to get more sun but the first three years or so they definitely need shade. My dad's OS is actually doing really well. It has yet to fruit but it has a really great shape and is around four feet tall. His tree does get a lot of shade though and is in a very protected microclimate. I'm so happy to hear that you are having success! I love Mangos and I feel that they are one of our easier tropical trees to grow here in Phoenix once they get established. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@thegreenyardaz That’s good news. I think I have the perfect spot for an Orange Sherbet. I was reconsidering trying a different variety since OS is a bit more temperamental to grow. I think I’ll give it a try and see how it does…
Cool video. I enjoy watching these yard tours and having the owners discuss the unique aspects of their yard/trees!
Hello @TouchGrassGardening, thank you for watching and commenting! I agree with you 100%, it is so much fun to go and see different owners discuss their Green Yards and trees. Let me know if you ever want to collaborate and do a tour of your awesome yard! You're trees are all amazing!
@@thegreenyardaz Thanks, I appreciate that. Let's do it sometime in the future when it's not so hot!
Got lemongrass bulbs from Asiana store in Glendale. It has been growing well in our hot summer outside. Love it!!
Hello @tankhajj, thank you for watching and commenting! I have heard many people having success buying the bulbs from different grocery stores around the valley. It definitely loves the heat. I'm so glad you're having success with your Lemongrass!
My brown turkey taste like a peach. I have several different figs and BT is one of my favorites.
Sounds like the Olympian variety...a mutant strain of English Brown Turkey. I see a lot of fig obsessives claiming the Brown Turkey is terrible but my trees produce huge, delicious, extremely sweet fruits. Plus they`re cold hardy and massive producers and very rapid growers. I`ve never seen a fruit tree grow so fast and produce so much in its first season.
Hello @tlnelson7598, thank you for watching and commenting! That is very interesting to hear that it tastes like peach. I got this tree as a mystery fig and am pretty sure it is a Brown Turkey but could be another variety. The figs themselves are delicious and are very sweet in flavor.
Hello @baneverything5580, thank you for watching and commenting! That is very interesting information about a mutant strain of English Brown Turkey. I did get this tree as a mystery fig but it looks like a Brown Turkey to me. It has very delicious fruit and I agree that it is a massive producer that grows extremely quickly.
Please, Are there any updates ? Was it a success?
Hello @saklynabil4149, thank you for watching and commenting! Unfortunately our Sweet Granadilla was not a success. I personally think that they can be grown here in Phoenix but I believe I planted mine at the incorrect time. I feel that if I would have planted it in spring after the last frost it would have had enough time to get acclimated before our summer heat. If you get a chance to try one let me know if it is successful or not. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you for the reply
Hi Schuyler how its going?
Hello @fancydog5866, thank you for watching and commenting! Everything is going great, the plants are growing very well and I'm going to be harvesting Mango's soon.
What species of Paulownua is this ?
Hello @yourhealthcareguru2592, thank you for watching and commenting! I am not sure the exact species of Paulownia tree this is. It was just listed as a Royal Empress tree when I purchased it at the local nursery. It does appear to be a sterile variety as it has not produced any seed pods, which helps narrow it down a little. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi. I'm interested in buying apple rootstocks, is there a good nursery website you could recommend to me?
Hello @emmanuelmbah3364, thank you for watching and commenting! I think that's amazing that you are looking to buy apple rootstocks, is your goal to graft your own trees? I do not know a website myself as all of the trees that I have purchased are already grafted, but I did some research and found, www.copenhavenfarms.com/, which seemed to have good reviews. If you are looking to purchase already grafted trees here in the Phoenix area I would recommend Greenlife by Shamus O'leary. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks alot for your reply, I am looking to buy just rootstocks so I could graft myself at home. I'll go with the website you researched, I just emailed them. Regards Emmanue
Wow i didn't know they grew from cuttings 😮
Hello @geriannroth449, thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, this was new information I learned from my local tropical tree nursery. I always figured they were grown from seed only.
Your garden looks amazing!😊
Hello @jadele574, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words. The food forest is really starting to take off and I'm hoping it starts to produce more abundantly as well.
I live in Arizona! Someone is giving me a four foot papya tree that needs to be transplanted I to the ground. What do you recommend for soil?
Hello @shawniedaily7744, thank you for watching and commenting! That is so amazing that someone gifted you a four foot Papaya tree. I would definitely put it in ground. You can check out my Papaya planting video by visiting, ruclips.net/video/tBl6mOcv9fA/видео.html. I would recommend using any in ground potting soil and creating a mixture of 50% native soil and 50% potting soil. Let me know if you have any other questions.
How do these taste? I keep hearing that they are kinda bland?
Hello @FC2ESWS, thank you for watching and commenting! I feel that these figs taste pretty good. I will say that they are bland if they are not completely ripe. It can sometimes be a fight with the birds to get the ripe figs, but when I can they are very sweet and flavorful. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Brown Turkey is one of the fastest growing figs I`ve ever seen and the fruits are large, abundant and one of the sweetest I`ve seen. You can graft other varieties on its branches. I guess if you`re stuck with only growing in pots then you`d want to choose something more delicious but this variety is very delicious to me. They`re cold hardy too but if they do freeze back and the roots are mulched and insulated and you lose the branches the tree will rapidly grow back and produce figs that same year. I protect my trees if we have a few very hard freezes. It isn`t hard to cover a tree with a couple of layers and put warm lights or a closed cooler full of very hot water under the covering and monitor the temps with a wireless sensor. I refuse to allow my best trees to freeze.
What kind of fertilizers should I use 😊
Hello @pmurT4202, thank you for watching and commenting! Personally, I have found the most success using fish emulsion as a fertilizer for my tropical trees, including this Jackfruit. I just put out a short about how I feed my trees, which you can watch here, ruclips.net/user/shortst3yZmirMR28. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Did these end up being sweet granadillas? Were you able to get them to fruit? Just came back from Peru to Phoenix and tried these for the first time there - I’d love to grow them or find out where to buy!
Hello @marensorensen2013, thank you for watching and commenting! Unfortunately, the vine did not make it through our record heat last year. I have a feeling that they can grow in Phoenix but they need to be planted in the spring to get acclimated before our heat. That is so amazing that you got to go to Peru, I love the country and am always excited to eat the exotic fruit when we visit my wife's family there. I have had a very hard time finding any Sweet Granadilla plants so if you find some please let me know!
You will love it when it starts fruiting. The fruit tastes delicious. I'm in Mesa, Arizona the one we have has 6 fruit on it right now.
I've been trying to get my hands on one of the fruit for years !! Would you be able to ship one to me in Pennsylvania !? I would be SO GRATEFUL !!!!
Hello @edibletropicaltrees, thank you for watching and commenting! I am so excited for it to start fruiting. That is amazing that you have a mature plant with fruit! Is there any way that you would be open to giving me a tour of your yard or at least your Monstera for the channel? Just let me know here or email me at thegreenyardarizona@gmail.com.
Hello @dylancook8863, I'm not sure about @edibletropicaltrees, but if mine ever fruits I will keep you in mind. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Let me know if you have any questions.
Amazing! I'm in the west valley and am seeing huge growth out of all my sugarcane varieties. This humidity is helping so much
Awesome! What varieties do you have working for you out here?
@ALLDRAINSEMERGENCYPLUMBING I have one that I got from Shamus that is a black sugar cane variety. I believe it's either Thai or Vietnamese. And my newest variety is purple Hawaiian. Surprisingly my purple Hawaiian sugar cane is the most hardy. I've had my black sugar cane for a few years now and unfortunately it is dying from red spot fungus
@@bigpapaplantman5126 purple Hawaii sounds yum. :)
Hello @bigpapaplantman5126, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words, that is amazing that you are seeing such growth on your sugarcane. I have been thinking about planting sugarcane but not sure if it's worth it. Would you recommend? I agree, the small increase in humidity during the monsoon season is definitely helping all my trees too.
Aren’t you worried that letting a first or second year mango tree fruit is going to kill it? Have you ever tasted a fruit punch mango? I have a Nam Doc Mei but I am trying to figure out what kind of mango tree to plant next. Your trees are looking great.
Hello @daveaz9962, thank you for watching and commenting! From my experience, a Mango tree will not hold onto fruit unless it's ready. My Fruit Punch and Spirit of 76 dropped all fruit until this year. I feel that they did this because this year they finally have a good structure and are ready to fruit. This Super Alphonso has always had a good structure so it must be ready. I am planning on covering it this winter though to make sure it makes it through the cold. I have not tasted a Fruit Punch but I have one on the tree and will put out a tasting video soon. Honestly, I think any Mango tree is great. I feel that they are one of, if not the, easiest tropical fruit tree to grow here in Phoenix. I've enjoyed our Carrie Mango so that might be one to consider too. Thank you for your kind words! Let me know if you have any other questions.
How do you do cold protection for your tropical?
Hello @annabenedian1625, thank you for watching and commenting! I have a video on how I cold protect my tropical trees, which you can view here, ruclips.net/video/CDZaqKkREc0/видео.html. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello @dthedad7330, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words!
Dude, these trees are beautiful but they are gonna mess up that wall
Hello @samiam777, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words about my Mango trees. I'm not sure if they are going to mess up the wall or not. Typically, from my observation of mature Mango trees here in Phoenix, grafted Mango trees end up acting like a dwarf variety of Mangos and top out around 10 - 15 feet. I plan on continually trimming them to keep them smaller and more manageable as well. I guess time will tell, I appreciate you letting me know and I will keep it in mind as they get more mature.
Tight looking good ASF bro ❤
Hello @haze9601, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words!
Hello, where did you purchased it? Thank you
Hello @vianeygastelum569, thank you for watching and commenting! I got our Jocote from a local tropical tree nursery called Greenlife by Shamus O'leary. I know that he has some in stock now and they do love to be planted in the summer. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hey man, I just bought a brown turkey from a Lowes, im also out here in the low valley.. What would you recommend for watering? I havent put it in the gorund yet as I'm trying to break up the caliche with elemental sulfur applications.. So i transpotted it into a 10 gallon fabric pot and it seems like its doing just OKAY, if i dont water it in the earily morning the leaves sag, Im brand new to growing anything outdoors here in the desert, some feedback would be highly appreciated thanks bro!.
Hello @haze9601 thank you for watching and commenting! There are a lot of factors that go into how much water a tree needs including it's age, the soil type it's planted into, etc. Since it is in a fabric pot (grow bag), from my experience, I would water it two to three times a week. I would also make sure it has shade after 11am. I feel that this will help it survive until you are able to put it in the ground. I have several plants that I had to place in pots/grow bags and they are doing well with bi-weekly water and afternoon shade. I hope this helps and I hope you're able to harvest some figs soon! Let me know if you have any other questions.
There isn't an issue with the roots being that close to your block fence?
Hello @doloresseames5067, thank you for watching and commenting! I have not had any issues and I really don't foresee any issues in the future. The reason is because I am on flood irrigation, which helps properly water the trees. There have been many growers in the Phoenix area that have found that deep watering less frequently allows the roots to follow the water further into the ground thereby minimizing any potential damage to foundations or walls. Proper deep watering can also be done by hand through the use of a berm around the root zone of the tree. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
I’m about to try in SW FL lol. Bought a bag of them, and the seeds had already sprouted inside the apples so… I’m gonna try lol. I don’t know how well it’ll work.
Hello @brie3679, thank you for watching and commenting! That is awesome that you are going to try growing some Pink Lady Apples in SW FL! I hope it works out for you. They are a good apple and a somewhat easier tree to grow and have produce here in Phoenix. I think it may be interesting to see how they grow from seed since I know most Pink Lady Apple Trees are grafted. You'll have to keep me updated on your progress and hopefully your successes. Let me know if you have any questions.
Is it still alive?
Hello @jimmydean123123, thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, our Rose Apple tree is still alive and doing really well! It's been putting on a lot of new growth this spring and is finally growing in a more upright direction and getting a tree shape (before it was growing more on the ground). I recently did a short talking about it, ruclips.net/user/shortsNamaSppbtWo?si=qT8n_Rj1bWHo_JI6. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello @oldyspices, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate the kind words! I love figs too, they do great here in the Phoenix area.
I'm in Virginia now so sick I had to go home to mom
I would like to buy please keep in mind I'm poor don't have much and no support
Hello @TwanaHanson-dv2yp, thank you for watching and commenting! I'm sorry to hear that you are sick and not doing very well. Unfortunately, my Soursop did not do very well this past winter and died back to the roots. I thought it was gone but it just started coming back. This means I will not have the ability to harvest any leaves or do anything with the tree for several years while it recovers and gets back to the size it was before. I hope you are able to find another source of leaves.

I live in Queen Creek (East Valley) can I grow bananas here? No way…what’s your secret?🤩👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hello @eurikia1961, thank you for watching and commenting! Yes, you can grow bananas here! I think they are actually one of the easiest plants to grow here too as they love our heat and tolerate our cold. They also produce delicious bananas. You can watch our video on growing bananas here, ruclips.net/video/HJN2Vr3151I/видео.html. Let me know if you have any other questions.
They don’t give much shade right?
with a height of 50 plus feet and a width of 30-40, and leaves the size of your head, i'd say they give plenty of shade...and in record time since this is one of the worlds fastest growers...
Hello @alejandroortiz4510, thank you for watching and commenting! They actually give a lot of shade but only in the warmer months. They are deciduous so they loose their leaves during our winter months here in Phoenix. This is part of the reason that I think they are one of the best shade trees for Phoenix, if you're using them as a foundation to create a tropical food forest. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello @ravenred201, thank you for watching and commenting! I would agree with you. My trees have grown at an astonishing rate and they do give plenty of shade during the warmer months.
The 48 second intro of the video is waaaaaaay too long!
Hello @geoph1972, I appreciate you watching and commenting! I agree with you, it was definitely too long, Unfortunately, I can't go into the past and change it so I have worked on making my new video intros 30 seconds or less.
@@thegreenyardaz At least it's a pleasant 30 seconds.
Appreciate your videos and knowledge share! I just picked up a Pixie Zee from one of the big box stores and brought it home only to have it get really crispy and curl on me! I had originally thought I could place it on my patio by my hot tub, but maybe it got too hot there? Will it bounce back? I have since repotted into a larger container and placed in a grass/dirt area. I have about 2-3 inches of mulch at the top. Any tips and advice would be much appreciated. The plant has a set of peaches and I was hoping to have a harvest! Thanks!
Hello @EdnaSmith, thank you for watching and commenting! Of course, I love growing plants and I figure I can share my knowledge and experience to help others grow too. That great that you were able to buy a Pixie Zee, I'm sorry to hear it's not doing well. It really just depends on how damaged it is. I have seen Peach trees be very resilient before when given the correct care. Is it doing okay in our summer heat? What I do is, for the first year, no matter the tree, I give it afternoon shade. The mulch is definitely helping to keep the soil moist so that is a good thing. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Would you consider selling your blue java banana pups? I'd love to try growing them in a container
Hello @broady1247, thank you for watching and commenting! I am actually working on removing some of my Blue Java Banana's so I may have some pups available next year. I will keep you in mind for when they are ready. You can also email me at thegreenyardarizona@gmail.com.
Awesome video Schuyler thank you!
Hello @TheJohnGray, thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate your kind words!
you are starting to enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Hello @RyansBackyardNursery, thank you for watching and commenting! Yes! It is finally happening and I am so enjoying the fruits of my labor.
Your mangoes look great can you do a video on how you plant and feed/water? It seems I’m really good at killing them , I have tried different methods through the years and I just can’t get it. Also if you need a “how not to “video I’m here😂
Hello @jeffconboy7146, thank you for watching and commenting! I put a short video out recently about how I feed my plants, which you can view here, ruclips.net/user/shortst3yZmirMR28. I have not done a video on watering yet so I will consider putting that out. It seems to happen sometimes, I kill plants too, I have just seem to found what works for me in my yard and have had some thrive and survive.
