I have a small in ground Xie Shan mandarin. First fruits were not that good but it is a really small tree. Should improve with age.
I am hoping it will fruit earlier than some of the others so will be less need to protect fruit from freeze.
i'll have to check that nursery out and maybe order a couple more tree's :)
I’m loving your expanded citrus collection. I look forward seeing how they fair out after winter.
Thanks. I am hoping we have a mild winter.
@@tdhomestead just protect the root zone with mulch and the graft junction with pipe insulation. The canopy can always recover if root and graft is protected.
I had the chance to taste the Xie Chan right off the tree that was planted in the ground from Simply Citrus Nursery during the Citrus Expo 2023 in Columbia. Absolutely great tasting flavor.
Thank you for doing an unboxing video and thank you for trusting us for our citrus trees. We love watching the success people are having with their trees in zones that aren't typically thought to be citrus friendly. Cant wait to see the updates in the future. If you have any questions we may be able to help with, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Keep up the good work and happy growing! PS. Even we cant pronounce Shiro.. correctly!
I did not think he was going to be able to do it. HIs eyes were not bigger than his stomach(or mouth).
Something must’ve happened to momma. I would grow it out for thanksgiving or Christmas and put it in the freezer since there’s only one.
I was thinking the neighbors dog probably got the momma duck

This was so helpful thank you 🙏🏻
Man it was amazing and terrible to watch. 😮
It was a bit of a startle when it fell from the tree and we saw what it was.
looking good!
Mine were doing "ok" until my chickens and thw drought was too much for them 😮
TD,those are some cute micro tomatoes- nice n' compact. My seedling carambola is a very attractive five foot potted tree even if the fruit dont prove to be that good. Love those banana peppers.Cant ever get enough of em.Thanks for this video showing off your garden!
Nice lookin figs. My Violette de B. and Olympian figs are doin good in seven gallon pots. Did you get the Prague citrus from Stan M. In SC? You' ve got quite a variety of fruits esp. the citrus. Must keep you busy. Thanks for the video tour of your plants!
Hi .. yes, I got the Prague from Stan. McKenzie Farms is about a 2 hour drive from where I live. Thanks for watching.
I got the ten degree tang. In ground here in east Tenn.Got em from Stan theCitrus Man and some feijoas and paw paws.What a great guy,that Stan. I like your mini greenhouse- just what I need for the coming winter. Thanks for this helpful video!
Nice looking citrus. Hope my ten degree tangerine and Browns Select will do well in ground here in eastern Tenn.Those skeeters are bad now - they leave just enough of me for the wasps and yellow jackets.Just kidding! Good luck on those citrus and thanks for this video!
I’m over in Wake County. I have a 2 yr old Satsuma Mandarin. Should I plant outside this Fall? Or keep it in the pot and over winter it in our garage?
I would probably keep in garage for the winter and wait until spring to plant in ground to give it a little time to establish in ground before having to deal with the colder temps. I still do not have my owari satsuma planted in ground. I did plant a changsha mandarin and a ten degree tangerine which are supposed to be a little more cold hardy than owari satsuma. Depending on how those do I will likely try planting one of my satsumas in griund in the spring.
Most of my tomato plants died despite frequent watering. Heat has been brutal at times, since April 1st! That's unheard of here in Maryland, zone 7. Eggplant and peppers have suffered as well but kale has done well. Tough year for vegetable gardeners.
From Pahrump, Nevada. Same here. Not a good year for tomatoes and peppers. The heat wave was brutal. 11 days of 115 degrees or more. Even with shade cloth on planters.
My tomatoes are a disaster this year. Triad area, NC poor rain fall for all of July.
I dont know where all the white flies are coming from this year. Filling every yellow trap I put out. I bought a 10 inch x 30' Yellow sticky trap and put pieces near the tomatoes before tapping the plants and letting the cloud of flies land on the tape. I'm getting tomatoes, but the plants are clearly not as healthy as they should be.
❤❤❤🎉
Thank you for sharing, very good tomatos ❤❤❤
Nice US-942, that should be bulletproof in 8a. Ten°Tangerine should do good as well. I got one in 7b that I only give light protection on coldest nights.
Great video.😍
Hello friend, greetings I am from Indonesia, I just connected you, nice to saw your video, I like agriculture thnak you ❤
I too have a food forest. Nothing better than to reap what you sow. Your plants are looking good.
Everything is looking beautiful 😊
I’ve had better production from store bought over seed here.
Great job sir
thank you
Hi there! Your garden is awesome. I see inspiration every time I watch you videos. Please tell me what size pot your large Trovita orange is in. I have several fruit-trees that i want to keep in containers and that size seems just about right for them.
It is a #7 or 7 gallon nursery pot .. doesn't actually hold 7 gallons, they hold about the same amount of soil as a 5 gallon bucket.
@@tdhomestead Thanks for your reply
Boanoite meu amigo ok 😊
Isn’t fantastic the one that survives down to 15 degrees? I would like to try one here in Ga.
Yes, Fantastic and Brazos Belle are both supposed to have survived unprotected down to 15 degrees with little to no damage and down to 10 degrees with some significant damage but survived.
cold hardiness is lower in drier climates like Texas or California humidity in the east will raise the temperature somewhat i heard this from Garys best in california
hoping to be able to keep them alive with just a minimal amount of protection in the winter. I haven't planted them in ground yet, been waiting for the grafts to heal over better to give them their best chance to survive.
My lemon tree is in the ground but know flowers are fruits what I need to do different with my tree
I think fertilizing may help. How old is the tree and how long have you had it planted? May just need some more time to get established. Growing fruit trees can definitely be a game of patience :)
Do you do any hand pollination? The reason I ask is I had no bee's this year. My citrus trees were full of flowers and started to have fruit. Then everything dropped off. I'm thinking it had to do with no bee's.
I haven't done any hand pollinating. We have had plenty of bees, mostly carpenter bees. Usually 90% or more of the fruit will drop from my citrus trees and the first time some of them bloomed all of the fruit dropped. Getting on a regular fertilizing schedule seems to help.
So what are you doing with the cuttings once you get em in the cup?
just keep them watered so the soil doesn't dry out, i will usually put them on a dish or another cup and try to keep them sitting in about a quarter inch of water until they show signs of new growth .. this time of year you will also need to make sure they don't get too much intense direct sunlight. You can build a terrarium/ humidity dome with a clear plastic bag and you won't have to be quite as diligent about checking the moisture but I haven't found it to be necessary;
very nice! Jealous of the owari satsuma you got, I can't find those! lol I will have to do a new video soon as well, all mine are getting another wave of growth. My moro blood orange has flowers starting too!
I was fortunate to find my owari satsuma at a local nursery but you should be able to find one online.
Why not using pure perlite as rooting medium?
I am only growing trees as a hobby right now so not too concerned about success rates but I have had good success rooting cuttings in just plain potting soil. I haven't needed to use any special growing medium or make any sort of humidity dome to get citrus cuttings to root. Citrus seems to root fairly easily, I believe I could likely get meyer lemon cuttings to root in top soil from my yard.
What the best month to start your cutting branch from a tree
Pretty much any time of year seems to work for me with citrus but I think the cuttings might root a little faster in the spring .. I have been doing a little pruning on some of my trees and will likely start some new cuttings this week.
I am hopeful to find an owari satsuma mandarin tree at some point at one of the nurseries around me.
with satsumas being way more cold hardy than meyer lemons or key limes, not sure why they aren't more popular or as easy to find
May 27th 2024❤
oops .. 27th not 31st, not sure what I was thinking :)
The way to pick up the snake without him/her freaking out and biting you is to do it gently. So just lean down and gently grab the snake and put it where you want it to go otherwise if you grab it fast and aggressively it will think you are a predator like a hawk or other animal/s like that and will think you are trying to kill it. Just a thought.
I actually only touched the snake with my finger when it turned to strike the first time, he just wasn't in the mood to be picked up. I found him curled up with another in one my egg laying box the next morning. I was able to pick both of them up without them biting and relocated them to a patch of pines on the other side of my yard, only about 200 feet away so they will likely be back but haven't seen them again so far.
@@tdhomestead cool
Everyone in the comments section is a pro.
why are you planting them upside down?
They aren't planted upside down but some of them look like they are because the branch that the cuttings were taken from was pointed toward the ground and the leaves had turned upwards
Hope you’re feeling better sir. Why did you get fantastic variety is it a high yield producer? I might get that variety I’m in 9A. And where did you order from what nursery they look good! Thanks
I got the Fantastic and Brazos Belle solely based on their cold hardiness. Both are supposed to be able to handle as low as 15 degree temps with little to no damage and there have reportedly been trees that survived temps that dropped to 10 degrees for a brief period. I purchased the trees from TopTropicals.com
@@tdhomestead I’m gonna get the fantastic I hope the seed is small lol thanks sir. Keep making content. Love to see some beginner homestead tips thanks
Thank you for sharing your talent..
Out in Michigan myself how do you overwinter your papers an citrus an what do you do for pest management if need to bring some individual inside? Any tips appreciated.
I have an inexpensive greenhouse that I purchased from Amazon that put my plants inside with a small space heater. Since I did not bring them inside the house I didn't need to worry about pests too much. I reinforced the greenhouse with a cattle panel so it is pretty sturdy.
Blessings sure lots of work going on here grateful to take a moment before I hit the garden an plant cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, an few other things once we grab some starts.
Snow dragon citrus !! Wow I have never seen one on sale. It’s a great buy and will be a great addition to your citrus orchard. I think flying dragon is gorgeous plant, especially in the fall when it drops its leaves.
When I saw it I knew I wanted it right away. I am anxious to see if the fruit will be variegated as well.
