Добавлен 8 окт 2019
The purpose of my channel is to share my gardening experience pertaining to my backyard orchard. I’m currently growing numerous types of fruit trees, plants and vines. I have several citrus, grapes, bananas, mangos, lychee, dragon fruit, loquat, avocado, abiu, achacha, stone fruit, cherry, grumichama, figs, jaboticaba, mombin, mulberry, papaya, persimmon, pitomba and starfruit trees. I’m growing them utilizing organic fertilizers and organic pest control methods. I’m in the process of re-landscaping using espalier and high density techniques with (deep root watering system) in order to maximize fruit production. Some of my trees are still young, but I do have several that have already produced fruit. I intend to post videos periodically as they mature and produce fruit. I also plan to post videos on how I prepared the planting areas as soon as my re-landscaping project is complete. I hope you find the information I share with you helpful and informative. Thank you and happy gardening.

Sir can use cocopeat media for mulberry?
I used the following when I transplanted mine: (3 parts Pumice, native soil and perlite; 2 parts worm castings, sand, cactus soil mix, 1 part blackmagic soil mix and 6 parts peat moss). I also mixed in 2 cups Azomite into the soil mix and sprinkled some Mycorrhiza directly onto the root-ball and any other exposed roots. This soil mix my need to be adjusted depending on the type of climate in your area. Warmer climates may require more moisture retention medium such as peat moss or cooler climates may require more sand to improve drainage.
Do you line your wooden containers with plastic etc to keep the wood from rotting or deteriorating? Fantastic orchard!
Yes, both the sides and bottom I line with plastic. On the bottom, before adding soil, I will also add a layer of lava rock and drill a few holes for drainage. Thanks for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Thank you! I have experimented with livestock watering tanks made of galvanized metal. The outside stays perfect but the inside contacted with soil rusts something awful. I don't know if lining it would make a difference since it might also draw condensation between the plastic or not. I won't do that again. It looks good but nope. But I do like the look of your containers.
@@siarlbychan I’ve never tried the galvanize container’s. Thanks for sharing that info. Some of the containers in this video will be going on 4 yrs in a few more months, no issues so far. I am planning on building another one sometime next year. I’m going to coat the inside bottom and sides with epoxy resin. They have food grade resins so there should be no issues with any chemicals contaminating the soil. The plastic lining has worked fine, but I think the resin will extend the container life considerably.
Where did you order jujube tree?
I purchased them form an online nursery, GrowOrganic.com. Thanks for visiting.
What size are the containers? And where did you get them? Love your trees.
Thank you! The wooden containers measure about 24x24x24. They are tapered which works out to about 55 to 60 gal. I couldn't find what I was looking for at the garden store so I wound up building these myself. Thank you for visiting!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Do you get any deseases on your trees? If you do, what do you spray? I saw white around some trees, was that ashes?
My citrus trees get hit with leaf minor and aphids every season. I use organic sprays such as Neem oil or Spinosad, both work well. The white on the trunk of some of my trees is Tree Trunk paint. I use it to keep the trunk of the trees from getting sun burnt. It’s not as critical for older well established trees, but younger smaller trees generally benefit from some protection.
I used both and did not work for me. Probably i needed to apply it more often and longer.
First time looking at your channel. What kind of fertilizer do you use? How often do you put it. And also what is the schedule for the water? Do you use automatic irrigation? I have a few trees in containers and I’m struggling with them. They are not growing.
Welcome! I only use organic fertilizers. On the 1st seasons application, I use - Dr. Earth Flower Girl Premium Bud & Bloom Booster 3-9-4. After that, I will fertilize with other organic fertilizers with various N-P-K ratios that depend on the different variety of fruit trees. Generally, I fertilize at minimum of about 3 to 4 times during the growing season. With watering, potted trees with good draining soil need to be watered more often than those planted in the ground. As to how often and how much, that is a tough one to answer. A good practice is to push your finger through the surface soil about an inch or two. If it’s dry it is time to water. After doing that a few times you will be able to come up with a schedule to follow. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
I really appreciate your time. Your yard looks so peaceful and beautiful .

Beautiful backyard. Just started growing fruit trees
Thank you! Best of luck with your your fruit trees👍
Could I ask, at 18:00 in, what is the plant just to the left of the pot? I have one, but not sure what it is, and it hasn't fruited yet lol
@zone 10a Backyard Orchard
Greetings, at the 18:00 mark the plant to the left in the ground with the cage above is a cantaloupe. They have an aggressive growth habit so I used a tomato cage and allowed it to climb the cage. Thank you for visiting!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard lol I see what you are saying! I am talking about the cherry looking tree just to the right of that Cantaloupe! haha Thank you kindly for the quick reply though brother! Much love.
Sorry about that, hope I get it right this time. The tree to the right of the cantaloupe is a Surinam Cherry tree. I previously posted a video on it’s first fruiting cycle. You can search my channel for the video titled "Star Surinam Cherry (Pitanga Eugenia), AKA Brazilian Cherry Tree setting fruit for the first time." Take care and happy gardening!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thanks friend!
Nice. Fruits are God’s gift to us
Yes, indeed they are.
Thank you for the details. My longan tree has lots of flowers but no fruits yet. Greetings from Suriname, the origin of your Surinam Cherry plant ❤
Greetings and thank you for visiting the channel! Your longan tree may not be mature enough to hold fruit. Mine just finished its flowering cycle and is starting to develop fruit. It’s still a little too early to tell how many will set, but it appears to have a fair amount developing. I wish you best of luck with yours. The fruit is very tasty and definitely worth the wait.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard Thank you...I'll post an update when I got fruit
👍
I'm in zone 10b, sunset zone 23, planted an ice cream bean tree a few years ago in a shaded portion of the yard, it was from a 1 gallon tree, very small. It is now nearly 15 feet tall and wide towards the sunny side of the property, in years past it had a couple flowers, but this year 2024 since late June it has exploded with flower buds. My fingers crossed that it has many pods for a spring harvest! Thanks for documenting
Thank you for visiting and best of luck with your tree!
I have a sugar cane jujube, it flowers but hasn’t put out any fruits. Do I need two trees for it to pollinate?
I believe the Sugar Cane is considered partially self-fertile. You should be able to get some fruit set, however adding a different variety should increase fruit production. I have 2 varieties (Lang and Li). The Lang is also listed as a partially self-fertile variety so I purchased the Li for crosspollination. If your tree is at least 2/3 years old flowering but not setting fruit, you may want to consider buying another variety.
How many gal pot is yours?
My avocado tree is in a tapered 24x24x24 wooden container. It’s equivalent to about 55 to 60 gallons.
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. I am doing container gardening too. I am so excited about what I am seeing Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.🙏
Welcome to the channel and thank you for subscribing! I’m happy to share my gardening journey. Best of luck with your gardening.
Can someone please explain what exactly is painted on the trunks of some, I know it helps reflect the sun but paint, really ?
The paint product is called Tree Trunk White (found mine at Walmart). I’ve also used a thick mixture of Hydrated Horticultural Lime mixed with water. It works ok but does not last. There are other products you can find online, but for me the Walmart product is the most cost efficient. Thank you for watching!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard I appreciate the reply, I’m all the way in Perth, Western Australia so Walmart is no option but I do have horticulture lime. Cheers
Excellent video! Thank you for documenting and sharing. I ended up with a Lang, it was mislabeled as Shanxi Li. Mine has been a little spongy, hoping the quality improves in the years to come. Thank you!, also 10a socal
Hopefully it will. Harvest’s off some of my fruit trees seem to improve over time. Also, with my jujube, I find that if I pick them late in the season they do become slightly spongy. I notice that picking them a little early is a good method for the varieties I’m growing. They have a good shelf life so picking them a little early has worked out well. Thank you for visiting!
Sounds like you are describing muscadines the skin is edible it’s just tough, it has more nutrition then the grape itself😂
Yes, the muscadine varieties I am growing have tough skin. I was not aware of the skins nutritional value. Great info and thank you for visiting!
I want. I want. I want. ❤
👍
Going through it and watching this video is awesome. Hello from Northern cali
Greetings! Thank you for visiting. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
Our Santa Barbara peach just started to wake up (July 1, zone 10b, Vista) - a small leaves started to appear. It is the first year it woke up so late.
Hope you had a great 4th of July celebration. Yes, that is late. Mine seems to be off as well. It started to push out new leaves in late April. It had a very small amount of blooms back then. Now, there are a few peaches about the size of a small radish and several flower buds that have not bloomed. It doesn’t look like it will be a good season for mine.
Excellent save im surprised the roots took that much abuse. They really dont like the roots disturbed. The Mexicola is only a 20 ft tall tree when mature where a Hass can get 40’. So you’re little bushy tree is looking normal for the variety. I just re potted my mexicola a few days back I may remove some of the compost and replace with some course sand material or just water it sparingly.
My Mexicola is about ready to be transplanted. I was going to up-pot, but I’ve decided to put it in the ground. I’m sure it will put on much more growth after another season or two. Best of luck with yours and thank you for visiting!
How long do you need to keep the tree staked?
Unfortunately, after transplanting it slowly began to decline. A couple of years later, during winter, it died. There is conflicting research online that shows untangling roots is better vs cutting off circling roots. Coincidentally, I’ve since purchased another Barbados Acerola and it was also root bound when I transplanted it. I tried a different method on this one. If you take a look at my recent video upload “Corrected Version - Walk around tour, repotting a root bound tree & Jackfruit scaffold training” you can see how the replacement tree was repotted.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard ok thank you. I bought one recently and it came staked. I planted it in a large container. Now it’s growing like mad about two feet taller and it’s just bending over, so I need to get a longer stake. I want to plant it in the ground, but our soil is always wet, so I might keep it in the container until winter passes.
Im in Southern California.I have a purple variety Cainito tree!Somebody told me my tree will die in the winter if the temperature drops below 45.😢😢 My tree is in a pot and almost seven feet.Im hesitant to put it in ground due to fear of winter frost(we rarely get in Ontario CA) and the Santa Ana winds
We don’t get freezing temps in my area. Last winter we hit temps slightly lower than 40, but only for a few nights. My tree is much smaller and it struggled. I moved it close to the house (slightly warmer temp) and shielded it from winds. It has since recovered. I’m going to keep mine in a pot for another season or two. I’ll move it to various locations in my yard to see where it does best. If I find it does well in a particular area, without significant winter damage, I’ll put it in the ground, otherwise; I’ll keep it in a pot. Best of luck with yours!
Where are you?
I'm in the Northern region of San Diego county.
Nice tour/update. Re: the removal of panicles on young mango trees, Chris at Truly Tropical recommends leaving a little of the blooms on the panicle to prevent the tree from pushing them out again. Snip off 75 - 80 percent at first then remove the rest once blooming season is over or pluck off the fruit if they form. It's been working for me, and less energy is wasted by the tree developing full-sized panicles with blooms.
That’s great info, thank you! I’ve seen some of her videos, lots of really good info. I must have missed the one with the info you referenced. I’ll try doing that rather than cutting off the entire panicle all at once. Thanks again.
I’m in the IE in SoCal, how often should I water?
Persimmon trees are susceptible to root rot mainly cause by poor draining soil and or over watering. On a container grown tree I find its best to stick your finger in the soil (inch or two). If your finger is dry, then water. After doing this several time you will come up with a watering schedule that is best for your tree.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard-Thank you!!!
Im in SD and mine is blooming a ton right now in June
Congrats! I hope it winds up setting a big crop. Mine is running late. It is just starting to push out flower buds. Hopefully, they will bloom within another week or two.
@Zone10aBackyardOrchard It bloomed the past couple years but I got my first 2 little fruits a few weeks back Now there are way more blooms so Im hoping that means its old enough to start producing. The mother plant I got it from produced a lot all the time apparently.
@@FAD4LIFE94 About the same for mine. The last harvest was pretty small. This season it looks like it is going to do much better. It’s at the early stages of flower bud development, but already there are more than previous seasons. I hope a get a good fruit set.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard I wish you luck and a good harvest
Adono man i think it might be too hot for zone10.
They have done well since planting them nearly 4 ½ years ago. They produced a very good harvest last season, but this year was nowhere near as good (poor cross pollination). Thanks for visiting!
Do still have your Hass avocado?
I still do. During winter a couple of years ago it almost died. I cut off about half of the leader branch and most of the side branches. This season it’s doing much better and is pushing out healthy leaves. It’s even trying to set a very small amount of fruit. I will likely thin them out so that it can focus on it’s recovery.
Fantastic, you really have a good hand with plants.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for visiting!
Hello great video I learned something I'm interested in the above ground stone and wood containment I see in your yard. Where can i get this from its a great idea for the side of my house. Thank you
If you are referring to the concrete blocks that join the wood pieces together, you can get them at the big box stores (Home Depot/Lowe’s). They call them Oldcastle Planter Wall Blocks. I hope this helps and thank you for watching.
I live in Palm Springs, will jujube grow here which is very hot in the summer.
I’ve seen youtube videos of people growing them in Phoenix, AZ. Pretty hot there as well. I would check with a local nursery. There are several varieties and they might have one that is better suited for your climate. Thank you for visiting!
I grow two trees in Texas and they grow well here. With our heat and lack of rain, I water regularly. They had fruit last year for the first time.
Looks like those persimmons were well fertilized!
They were well fertilized (only use organic fertilizers). Unfortunately, both the Coffeecake and Chocolate persimmons died last winter. Only the Fuyu survived. I replanted with another Fuyu variety. It seems to do better in my area.
Where can I purchase this tree?
I bought mine from a local nursery (California Tropical Fruit Tree). They are in Vista, CA. You might also try an online nursery if that is not an option for you. Everglades.farm, fastgrowingtrees.com are just a few that should have them. Thank you for visiting!
Thanks for the info. I just purchased one and I’m giving it a try
I'm sure you will enjoy the fruit, good flavor. Mine is currently in its flowering cycle so I'm hoping it will set a good amount of fruit. Thanks for visiting!
Beautiful ❤️❤️
Thank you!
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard ...🙏🥰
where did you find those wooden containers?
Couldn't find what I wanted so I built the wooden containers myself. Thank you for visiting!
Can you please post the link to the fertilizers you used?
I only use organic fertilizers. On the 1st seasons application, I use - Dr. Earth Flower Girl Premium Bud & Bloom Booster 3-9-4. After that, at 2/3 week intervals, I use - Lilly Miller All Purpose 10-10-10. I only fertilize during the growing season (spring thru late Sept early Oct). Also, if the banana flowers during this time, I stop fertilizing. Both of the above fertilizers can be found online via Walmart or Amazon. Banana plants have a fast growth rate so they are heavy feeders. I’ve recently started using a stronger first season fertilizer - Grow More SEA Grow Flower & Bloom 4-26-26. I’ll post banana plant updates on future backyard orchard video tours. Thank you for visiting!
Thanks so much! How many fruit did you get after this video?
I’ve struggle a little getting this tree to set a big harvest. It’s flowered consistently since it was purchased in 2017, but setting fruit has been somewhat problematic. A few seasons ago it produced hundreds of flowers and started to produce fruit, but most dropped once they were the size of a pea. When I shot this video I had just transplanted it to a larger pot while it was in bloom so it only set about 10 or so. In subsequent years the largest fruit set has been about 25 or so. It’s now in a much larger container so hopefully future fruits sets will be bigger. I post updates on my backyard orchard tours and I’ll be sure to include it, if and when it fruits again. Thanks for visiting.
Where are the containers from
I made the large wooden containers. The large plastic containers were purchased from big box store. Thank you for watching!
Nice. I love what u did with your plants
Thank you!
Love this video and your plants with beautiful containers , you have done a great job
Thank you!
How can one tell the difference between Li and lang..? They named the one i bought Giuggolo, all they can tell me is its an Italian variant.
That is a difficult question to answer. The leaves, flowers are similar. The growth habit of the Lang is more spreading/wide than the Li. If you only have one tree and you are not sure if it is a Li or Lang, you will know after the flowering cycle. The Lang requires a pollinator so if it doesn’t set any fruit or only a very small amount set, then it is likely a Lang. Also, if your tree does set fruit, google Jujube Varieties. You might be able to ascertain the variety by comparing fruit size, shape and color. I hope this helps.
@@Zone10aBackyardOrchard thank you it does help. Im afraid it might take a while before it fruits since its a young tree. Time will tell.
Beautiful job on the orchard 🌱🌳
Thank you!
Well done getting your lychee to fruit at such a small size. My Lychee in container has been the biggest failure to date in my garden. I've had to rescue it from near death twice in four years and it looks like it is dying again. In its defense, it has taken a lot of beating in tropical storms over its short life but isn't quick to recover like my other plants.
Thank you! Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Lychee. After 2 near death rescues, sounds like you are doing the best you can. Sometimes mother nature makes things a little difficult. Hopefully, you will be able to nurse it back to health. Best of luck and thank you for visiting.
Thank you for update on your garden ! Good luck with blackberries, we might try to grow them too. This year we planted few special raspberry plants, which supposed to grow in our zone 10a. I hope they will survive.
I had searched for a raspberry variety for our zone a couple of years ago and couldn’t find any. I hope the ones you found do well. Best of luck with them!
