You are growing fast man. Keep it up, you are gold and what you do is gold. you should write some books or do some podcasts.
I second the book idea
blackshadowPrime thanks I'm really enjoying the videos and even more the RUclips community! Seriously you guys rock! I would like to slow with my day job a little and then I'll write a book :)

In sw Fl. Everything USED to grow "fast" @ least in the thirty yr.s lived there. Fast forward today in upstate ny , 19in morning 58 degrees by 11am, in effing February ? ! ! REALLY . Used to be the coldest , snowiest month here . Not mad , was able to compost today , first time since Nov. Why am I walking instead of buying vehicle , with pristine credit ? By choice . Btw KUDOS Pete , brothers , sisters & associates . Love y'all's gardening skills .
This video is almost three years old. I would LOVE to see how that mango tree is doing now!
That one in particular got fried two years ago in a rough winter. Everything else planted this way is doing great.
It all depends on your soil type. Small holes are for rich soils but for poor and hard soils we make big holes and make layers of organic matter , compost and native soil like an underground huge pot.After the tree uses everything in there it has grown alot and is strong enough to penetrate the hard soil.
completely new to this hobby / lifestyle. Man don't stop making vids! You are obviously passionate and loaded with info :) Thanks!
Wow! Thank you. I'm so glad I watched this. I am also in Zone 9B, but on the other side of the country in California. I have been watching tree planting videos for months now, looking for someone who plants trees professionally. Now I've found you - I subscribed.
P.S. Thank you for the links to the tools, too.
Glad it was helpful!
Today I learned that I have never planted a tree properly!! Nice to know that I can stop digging deep holes and adding compost, etc. down below it.
Thank you so much for all your time and info. Everything you say is valuable to your budding planting followers.
We are building a food forest on our dream property in North Florida and we are definitely coming to Sand Hill Nursery for stock.
You and David The Good are the Florida growing gurus dude. Grow on!
Thank you Jim! I look forward to meeting you one day soon.
Great detailed video, thanks for tips.
By the way, I enjoy your longer videos, the longer the video the longer time you have to share your knowledge & experience to the viewers.
Randy Ordaz thank you for the input!
Hi Pete, I am from India. Your videos are helping me a lot in creating my food forest!!! Thanks.
Awesome man! Keep it up 👊
Great video Pete. My wife and I met you last weekend at the Manatee rare fruit counsels plant sale. I bought a NDM Mango, Jaboticaba and pomegranate that I plan on planting this weekend. I will use the technique you demonstrated here as I have been guilty of planting trees to high in the past.
I enjoy your channel and the information you put out. Thanks.
One thing i have noticed with planting the graft above the soil is that the during a cyclonic storm the part that breaks is usually the graft joint unless the tree has become mature and has really big timber. So its reccomended to plant the graft joint below the soil
Thats my favorite shovel Pony/Caprock Shovel some contractor one day left it 5 years ago in my dads house and every time I worked on the yard that was my go to shovel compared to the 15 others my dad had, it digs threw the toughest soil far better
Great video and the advice about plant them high is so hard to listen to as we want them "level" with the soil but in my experience Pete is totally right. I'd add that if you can't afford biochar or azomite or even compost, then usually wood chips or mulch will be enough if you can get enough of it built up there. Pete, do you do guilds or understory right near your trees to help the trees at all? For instance do you plant comfrey or lavender or mint or fever few near or under the trees? This has worked well for me in Ohio. But maybe it's better to just let the tree go I just don't know for sure.
I'm guessing that in the past 3 years he's added a mulching as well.

I appreciate this Demo!
“The internet of the soil” yes absolutely!
This was an awesome video thanks for all your time❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becca Becca you rock!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I know it takes time to make video's and get them up and your efforts are appreciated.
When In Idaho Thanks! I'm really enjoying making the videos. I'd like to make this a full time gig one day. That would allow me more time for the farm and family 🙏
Hey Pete... Missing getting new vids. Came across thi one and perfect timing as we are transplanting.
Bingo !! Plant largely the same, exact way....including a little higher up like that. Less azomite, though, as we have a better mineral base in AZ...Great video, Pete !
thanks for the info Pete, love your work, enjoy watching your food forest grow.
Yes! Thank you Pete, I love and almost live for your videos! 🤘
That fiberglass handle caprock shovel is less than 10 lbs. A 40-50 lb shovel would eat your lunch. LOL
thechief762. Thanks for saying, wouldn't even want a 40lb shovel.
YES! This is exactly the info I was looking for!!
Diane Hammer 👊
I use the same methods. Great video and thank you for sharing.
I noticed a huge difference, that they do it completely different in Phoenix then they do it in Florida. And I am assuming it is due to the fact that we have clay soil and you guys have sand soil. We are taught to put Mychorizhea at the bottom of the hole and we mix the food, rock dust and native soil and use that in the hole as well as on top also with some worm castings. It is interesting for sure.
I'm 9b! It's like personalized advice 😄
thank you so much for the information!
You taught me something today Pete. Thanks!
Sas du Plessis awesome! Thanks I'm glad to hear.
sometimes i feel like youtube is actually steering me in the right direction cause this is the second vid ive watched today that actaully said its better to plant into the native soil lolits probably just me and luck but yeh good old youtubes tought me the knowledge of 100 life times you gotta repec it lol
Thank you Pete for all the great tips & advice on fruit tree planting! I enjoy ur vid’s & would love to see your farm/nursery! Do you do tours? Or are you open to the public? Would love to buy a new fruit tree for my yard from you! I live south of u- Ft Myers area- itd b a grt day trip-- thank you again for sharing all ur wisdom🙏🏻🌱💚
Hi! Thank you for your support, I appreciate it. We currently do not offer tours of our farm. Though we have plants available for pick up at our nursery! www.greendreamsfl.com/private-nursery
I live in california zone 9B. what I have for soil is a solid hard clay. I literally had to use a jack hammer to dig a hole. I just bought 6 mango trees from a tropical nursery. my question is can I plant my mangoes exactly the same way you did in this video? will the clay kill the tree eventually? Appreciate any tip you can give. Thank you
So here is why I believe that both yours’ and Dr Campbell’s planting videos are great but the advice is not correct for all tree plantings.
I live in Miami-Dade county and my topsoil is black sand and rock for maybe 6 inches. Then it’s solid coral rock in most places. For the last few weeks I’ve been prepping 25 new planting holes. I have to use a jack hammer to be able to get down to where it might not be like a solid pot of stone so that water will not accumulate up the hole and waterlog the roots. And water has to be able to drain out of the hole even if it takes a few hours to do so. I’ve had to go down 3 1/2-4 1/2 feet for each hole. No soil but broken up rock is taken out. All that debris fills one green trash can 1/3-1/2 way and the garbage truck hauls it away. Now I have to put soil in each hole. I spend more on the soil than the trees. I use a 6.6 ph mixture made at a great nursery nearby. Fill it up and wet it then stomp it down and compress it so that my tree’s base is a few inches above the holes’ edges. Then I fill it and compress the soil surrounding the tree with shoes pressing it down with my weight. So I can’t ever use what was in the hole.
Thank goodness mango roots go along the surface or my trees would be in big trouble. Now as far as the coral shell’s flower pot effect, the super rich replacement soil lets the tree grow big and strong as its roots eventually expand outward along those 6 inches of topsoil. But before that that great 6.6 ph soil makes the most beautiful healthy mango trees possible.
So you see cultivation techniques can vary but generally speaking your video is correct most of the time. PS the ph of my top 6 inches is 8.3. Horrible!!
This is a really great video Pete! Looking forward to seeing mangoes from this pretty tree in a few years. 🤙 P.S. I agree, a book would be awesome.
Freaking awesome Pete; love the detailed videos and learn a lot from them.
Don't mind the haters...
Hulagu Kahn thank you! I love haters, must be doing something right?
Are you doing weekend farm tours?
This was great. Thank you
Thanks!
Would you please share what organic fertilizer did you use? Thank you!
you look great
great video, thank you
is it possible to plant a mango tree right next to an intercoastal?
thanks for the information sir ,.
I fo have a question, how long will it take lychee tree to fruit if planted from seed ??
Many years, perhaps 5-12 years
OMG you can grow mango, awesome. Unfortunately, in my mid-Europe region, I can just stick to apples, pears, peaches, too cold for mango delight.
Yes, mangoes will grow here but do much better in South Florida. The stone fruits do well here also, Im on the edge of the tropical zone :)
Have you changed anything since this video in how you plant trees?
We planted a number of fruit trees following your recommendations in this and another one of your videos. But we have a problem...over a few months, in many cases the mounded-up dirt gets washed away from the tree, so the root ball becomes exposed. Any suggestions?
Pile up mulch higher and wider. If it is an area prone to flooding, then the exposed roots shouldn't be a problem (if it's minimally exposed).
Surprised there was no watering the hole prior to planting or between the kayers of dry amendments before adding the mulch. Have you found it to be unnecessary? Will now be packing the soil from now on, thanks for another good one Pete!
would you still recommend these tree planting techniques in a dryer hotter climate like las vegas?
Hello Pete,
great videos!
what if the mango is already on the ground? for about 4 weeks now, is it to late to top dress with the amendments?
thank you!
Not at all! Go for it
So much good, detailed information; well done video. Found you through Justin Rhodes.
violetsareblue thank! Justin is the man!
Pete, what about circling roots? Do you break them up? Is it worth disturbing the roots? I’ve heard certain trees like avocado have very sensitive roots.
3 years, 50x
Another great video, Pete! I am so happy to know about the resilience of mangoes and that they can grow in pure sand. I ordered a pony shovel through your Amazon Affiliate store a week or two ago, and a sharpener today. I am afraid I might have planted some of my fruit trees too deep. Can you do a video on popping up such a tree and replanting it? :)
What do you think about bare root trees? Do you have a place you recommend getting trees from?
Do you have some resources you recommend for learning about trees and getting them going quick? (Thanks for tolerating all my questions)
Any experience or advice you can lend re. Planting into clay loam? Drainage is most likely the key here. Thanks for sharing!
Nice Video. I know this is unrelated,but is there a bullet proof desert grape ?My concern is Pierce's Disease.
That was a lot of biochar! I'm sure it's mentioned elsewhere since this is old, but how much biochar would be enough if you're on a budget?
It’s really comes down to what you can afford. Some is definitely better than nothing. We normally budget 5 pounds per tree for clients.
💗💗💗💗
could you plz talk a bit on how to go about finding land ?
Very nice keep it up
Great info and very timely for us since we are in the process of adding fruit trees. I know ash changes ph but, I never thought to add it to fruit trees. What is the benefit of ash for fruit trees?
Mama T there are many benefits and dangers to adding ash. one of most important things to know is what is in your ash. you don't want heavy metals and contaminants that are going to hurt the tree. the benefits are that the ash helps water move through the soil and carry nutrients into the nearby soil.
Mama T thank you! We add the ash as source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and trace elements. It can raise PH but I've never used it directly for that reason.
Mangos love to grow in send the only thing they hate in cool weather
Ali Wajid yes they pretty much thrive in crap.
David Strawderman should get the apple. he has that cold spot south of you.
d hamby is David doing well with apples?
Pete, You should have moved that apple tree into full sun location. Apples struggle with less than 5 hours of full sun. And they dont need a lot of chill hours and switch to heat to break dormancy, Check Tom Spellman's experiment with high chill apples that he did for Dave Wilson nursery in Irvine,CA which gets under 100 hours. I think they still have video on Dave Wilson's channel.
hey pete, been watching you channel a while. I am in UK, planting apple trees. We hit hard clay at 30cm/12". Worth digging some of this out and replacing with soil?
Great video!!
Just Sew Trish much love!
What do you do if you have planted a tree too deep? I've been following the instructions on the label, backfilling the hole with compost and making a mote. :-/
Kathy Blome-Riley I didn't the same with so many last spring. I was so upset to up root them and fix them but it had to be done. Luckily they are still thriving. Good luck with yours
Did I miss it, or did you forget the Azomite? Thanks for the vid, very informative.
Annie Gaddis | 14:15, that should get you there.

Does the mango tree needs a full sun ☀️?
The more sun the better fruit production you’ll get.
great vid as always encountering problem with pasco code any tips for constructing living fence also breaking down chips from tree company and npr mulch
Skibrzy thank you! I'd plant what we call a " fedge " food hedge. This can be done with Surinam cherry, Simpson stopper and grumichama.

Pete, I live in the desert(Phoenix area), soil is hard clay, would you still not recommend putting at least gypsum and 50:50 compost:native soil on the bottom and not making a slight crater so water is not running everywhere? I do grow mangoes in planters, if they don't like fertilizer much, how often should they be fed and with what? Love all your videos, very informative and detailed. Thanks.
Garry Cole glad you're enjoying the videos! I don't have any experience with hard clay soils, most of Florida is a sand bar. I would feed the mango trace minerals like green sand and azomite. My favorite is a occasional compost tea with fish emulsion foliar spray and soil drench.

Garry Cole I do find the mulch works as a sponge, you should be able to retain water while watering that way.
Garry, Gypsum takes years to make any difference and you will need to keep re-applying it until all clay is broken down. No point adding it into the soil when you plant a tree. You need to start working it into the soil at least two years before you plan to plant a tree to see any positive effects.
All you need to put in hole is mycorrhiza spores that will loosen up clay around roots as It starts growing webs in the soil and pulls nutrients out of clay and feeds the tree. if clay is over 75% you would need to mix in some inorganic material e.g. lava rock or coarse sand to improve drainage. Adding rich organic material into the planting soil will drastically slow down root development. All organic material should go on top starting at drip line to prevent roots from circling edge of the hole.
Mangoes grow fine in clay as long as they are not waterlogged. They do like foliar feeding especially in hot arid climates. You will see a big difference in hot AZ climate with foliar feeding. Stop by Shamus O'Leary's nursery and check his mangoes that he grows in native AZ soil.
It rains a lot in Florida. If you create a crater around trunk of the tree it will turn into mulch before rain season ends.
and you dont need a ground cover for airation because of something to do with fungi under the mulch? well your are growing on sand aswel which probablyy drains really well id imagine
can you do that to a myer lemon?
Yes
Of all my fruit trees the only one that will bear fruit this year is my apple. We had a low of 34 here this last week! Its a crazy spring too much cold, some highs in the 70's and then freezing, which got all my cherry, apricot, and plum blossoms! Love your instructional and how to plant fruit tree's. I got some great tips that I will incorporate next time I plant. I've been wanting to plant a walnut tree, but the one I found in town looked dead! Thanks Pete for your expertise! Blessings!
1994abbygirl the weather had been crazy this year. I believe the Walnuts are allelopathic, other trees often won't perform well around them.
correct pete
I own the lot next door, no fruit tree's or any tree's in it. Would it work there?? Thanks for the information!

I want that apple tree please....hehehe
My employee took it home 🤣
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Hi, quick question for you--I just bought an apple tree but little did I know the leaves has dark spot on it -all of it. This young tree don't have much leaves thou. Should I pruned this tree right now or should I wait till early spring to prune it? Thanks
I am going to watch all your videos.
Just so you know though, your audio is a bit muffled.-
Audio issue did vanish further into the video. Maybe the camera was a bit far away at the beginning.
Frank Johnson thank you! We already upgraded our camera,future videos should be much better.
awesome
👍♥️🇺🇸
When do mango trees fruit?
Normally 2 years but some can move to 4 years and that's that best mongos like Rana , langal etc
Danuta Presutti these trees have the potential of fruiting the first year, we typically remove the young fruit the first year or two. This allows that energy to go towards tree growth and wont stress the young tree.
Mango season started in Florida maybe 2 weeks ago, it will go to August fairly strong.
You need to turn up the column please.
Volumn
well time raise my plants
🌴👍🍋
Poor audio 😢
Been watching for quite a while, yo ur videos have inspired me to start recording more while I’m at Zaytuna farm. Check it out on Instagram stories @berhnardhoffman! Cheers!
Awesome! Keep it up 👊
I like the man. Good looking, do you want to make me dream about a man like this?
They say i am isis because men like me a lot. God need to help me go through this story.
