Have you ever tried growing a fuji apple? If so can you share any info on it?

You drove up through our old stomping grounds in Arkansas. We had a home near Winslow and another near West Fork.. I 49 is a beautiful drive.

Great video. I've been thinking about going to this event, but they charge a little much for it...

Great video! Thanks for sharing, btw your yard is beautiful 🤩 beautiful spot. Are we Type O’s supposed to avoid ALL mushrooms???

Thank you this was very helpful! I don’t have a grape vine but am wanting to propagate from some store bought grapes. I’m “Very” new at growing anything at all but have decided that I want to grow my own food after having so many health issues from deficiencies and toxins from non organic foods that have minimal nutritional value and are grown with pesticides and chemicals etc. everything I do not have access to seeds for like grapes I am trying to grow from the food I do have access to. This has been a learning experience for sure!

Wonderful information! New subscriber in zone 8b in TX. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Where did you find your maxine pear? Keep growing!🌿

good video i sub to yall

I'm right here in your neck of the woods in coffee County I'm looking very forward to sing the success in your area because of it grows for you I know it will grow for me. If you try to experiment with kiwi be careful in the 80s a guy in Dale County over in Ozark poured tens of thousands of dollars into a kiwi orchard and something about our whether they all died he was trying to do everything right and it didn't work just a heads up be careful with kiwi

Nice seeing y’all getting out. You’re inspiring me.

You have to expect this kind of behavior in Virginia....especially the further North you go. I've had back experiences there too.

Private campgrounds suck most of the time. They usually have some totally irrelevant, unimportant person in "real" life running it acting like some Nazi. One example that comes to mind was when I had a reservation at Absaroka campground in Wyoming. I pulled in to their campground and was clearly out of the way, but as soon as I walked in the office, the woman at the front desk told me I had to move my rig up 5' before we could go over the check in process. Then they don't want you to use the grass area of your campsite...so annoying. I try to avoid "the Barney Fifes" as much as possible.

I was hoping you’d put out a video of your trip. I can’t wait to get mine built and out there to meet all of you. Looking forward to more videos.

Oh, I'm so excited to follow this y'all! So many beautiful places out west. Hope yall are doing well!

I skim the foam off before pouring, but looks amazing. Nice work!

Wow your dogs are not playing with the figs.

Great tour - Have others said Black Celeste is not really a Celeste? Looks perfect for your climate. Your Chicago Hardy might be more cold hardy because it is a much older tree. Be interesting to see if your other Mt. Etnas become more cold tolerant with age. Black Manzanita is phenomenal - it is a CA seedling and not a Mt. Etna.

Thx for the info. We’re adding it to our orchard.

Lovely story and beautifully done video. I was trying to figure out who you were, Randall. You are somewhat younger than me but I'd venture to say I know your people. Again, a truly inspirational presentation. tp

Love the videos you have, what grass do you have in your orchard where it stays so clean that close to the trees 😂. Recently got into figs and expanding how many varieties I have. That black Celeste looks amazing. You said you will only take a few curing but does CajunB sell cuttings of his?I’ve seen him On Travis’s Lazy dog farm videos. Right now I’m going to try to acquire all the LSU varieties. Upstate SC

Wow that is a nice piece of land there, maybe when I retire one day

You have mocking birds and they are telling you to get out of their figs

Dogs like figs?!?

Just seen your video the finger protector no need to make the people have 100s of the same thing that know one use theses days the called C.D make a brilliant protector for the hand❤

Would love to see a video of how you take care of your fig trees. Mine haven't grown alot this year. Added mulch, compost, 10-10-10 and kept them watered. Any suggestions? Always love your Orchard tours! Thanks

Love the dogs and the figs

R your orchard is interesting, what inspired you to start an orchard? I am a big reader, what books did you read on the subject before you planned it? I would like to plan a small backyard orchard. Thanks. 😀🌱🐢

I`m not as concerned about the taste of the figs as I am about having an abundant supply of food in the future. But it seems weren`t headed toward colder and colder winters with the solar minimum beginning and the rapidly decreasing magnetic field of the planet affecting the weather. I`m gonna get tarps to cover my biggest trees and run extension cords and put tiny 200w desk heaters under them to save them if it freezes this winter.

I need to get a Chicago Hardy as freeze insurance too. We`ve gotten down to at and very near zero here in central Louisiana twice since 2021 and this shouldn`t be happening on the zones 8b/9a line. Hopefully my Brown Turkey & Celeste trees survive the winter because they`ve reached the right size for a huge crop next year.

My four 1st year Celeste fig trees created by tissue culture are fruiting. I didn`t expect them to because they were very tiny strange looking plants with very very small micro leaves in March. But in Louisiana fig trees grow so fast that they always surprise me. A brown turkey tree I planted last year is already 10 ft in diameter and nearly 8 ft tall and I`ve pruned it several times to shape it and even a cutting from it planted this year is a big bush with fruits already. I`ve never seen one of those. My relatives and neighbors always had Celeste trees I think. I`ve probably planted too many but there are lots of birds here and I decided to overdo it just in case and also got 4 dwarf mulberry trees too and they`re approaching 9 feet tall.

Thank you!! And ROLL TIDE!!

I am not sure if I gave congrats on the 1 million mark well done sir you and Michelle deserve it $$$$

Very nice orchard wow awesome varieties of different types of fruit trees thanks for sharing.

Are you selling any trees yet? Would love to purchase some from you.

very impressive. all the trials you're doing with the different cultivars to examine how they will do down here in Lower Alabama is very valuable. Thanks for your diligence, passion, and your generosity in you sharing your results. You are a gardener's gardener my friend.

Thanks for the “orchard” videos. Is there a place to purchase the Shell apple tree?

1:08 when he stepped out of the tree I cackled 💀 LMFAO I thought he was the one filming

I used the left over juice from making preserves and my jelly base and it was delicious.

Awesome. I do like it when you give a description of each one though. Helps us learn about new varieties

Thanks for part 2 tour. Will you have to protect your citrus trees

Wow, you have been working hard! Can’t wait to see your orchard as it matures. Thank you for the tour!

Looks good. I have a Fuji, Granny Smith and liberty apple producing this year. I don’t think apples are crazy about southern Oklahoma but I was glad to get a few this year. I have several pear varieties and they do well here. I’ve had some fireblight strikes this year but I hope I have it cut out and won’t have any problems with it again.

Wow how big is ur property ??

Fantastic and informative video, thank you. Do you have particularly difficult pest problems with all of the apples in such close proximity? Or is that not an issue?

What a fun and "educating" day for all the little ones. Learn cooperation and have fun.

Great job. In case you ever do this again. If I might make one suggestion after spending decades of building large projects alone, including a 3000 sg. ft. modified A frame style home. Prefabricate anywhere possible using your imagination if necessary. I was able to lift 10, 25 ft. trusses in one day with one person helping. The peak 10ft. trusses I built in place and stood them up alone. If you prefabricated your hoops to the point of the side purloins, a couple of hours and hearty lunch for a couple of friends you would be to this point. This method is easier because the hoops are already square only needing to plumb them. I hope I am not being anything more than a friend offering future advice in order to save a lot of labor. No criticism meant in any way.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. Mine is very different growing up in a farming community in New England 20 or more years before your births. I live less than a hundred miles from where my ancestors landed on the Mayflower. What matters is you have found the peace I never will. However, I have made peace with the fact that it was not meant to be. Our believe systems are very different, but this does not mean I cannot be in a good place. I have the life and family many never will. May peace be in your hearts always.

We have been enthusiastically waiting for your video. We love how you give us a detailed explanation of each step. I was curious about how the wiggle wire works. I missed your explanation this time. We are so thankful that you introduced us to this greenhouse we going to get one and we are very grateful that you took the time to to show us your technique. Thank you and Happy Birthday.

Finally some beans i can eat hopefully they do wonders

Yes manure is toxic waste... Herbicides don't break down.. much heartache over dying plants from soil contaminated with toxic manure!!!! BE CAREFUL

Team work is awesome and David has a great team.
