Thanks for this video!! Saguaro cactus, Netleaf Hackberry, Ironwood tree, Wolfberry, Chupa Rosa, Prickly Pear (Indian Fig variety), Aloe Vera, Florida Blue Palo Verde, Peruvian Apple Cactus, Mesquite tree.
Thank you for the names
Tendré que investigar acerca del cactus de Perú, no he sabido de él. Hay una especie similar por las calles de Lima pero no ha de ser la misma. Al menos nunca he visto que de frutos.
En el Cerrado (semiárido) del Brasil tienen una especie similar, con frutos comestibles , conocida como Mandacarú.
Allá tienen una variedad de frutas y nueces nativas de los dos semiáridos, Cerrado y Caatinga, incluidas palmeras.
Esta el Jujube, la Moringa. Y Vitis arizónica, su especie de viña propia.
Se me olvidaba, en Perú tenemos una especie de Papaya del desierto, muy rústica, conocida como "Mito", su nombre científico es Vasconcellea sp. Tal vez los del vivero la puedan conseguir.😢
I actually live in Tempe, and my husband and I have been talking about turning our front lawn into desert landscaping. You’ve inspired me to just plant a bunch of native edible trees, bushes, and cacti 👍🏻
Your front yard is like an oasis in the desert!
Great video. Love the way you showed native edible plants that don't take a lot of water in the desert! One suggestion: The best bet for mesquites is our native velvet mesquite - not to be confused with non-native Chilean mesquite trees that grow too quickly and have been known to fall over during a storm.
i love you how you outlined the negatives of the rocks ... I live in southern California desert and people are going rock left and right
Same going on in Idaho. People don't know about plants that can handle the heat.
Great video! I live in South Texas which is similar to your area. Some native plants that would thrive in Arizona and give some excellent fruit are: La Coma Tree (saffron plum) , Texas persimmon, Brasil tree (bluewood), ebano tree (ebenopsis). Maybe you already have some of these. Highly recommend!
I can confirm the power of aloe Vera as a burn treatment. I am a burn survivor, I was severely burned when I was young, and one of the things my parents used to treat my wounds was aloe. My wounds were dressed every 30 minutes. I was burned over most of my face and arms. But, I healed and survived when the doctors had sent me home to die.
I'm moving to Arizona this month and this is totally inspiring! I love that those trees grow SO fast! I can be creating shade within a year at my new place. Exciting. :)
Really, I'm moving in a week. Maybe you'll share your shade until I can get my own established
What did you end up planting?
Many types of Wolfberry in the Sonoran Desert and thruout the west in the hottest poorest soils. Seen 6 varieties around Tucson with most producing fruit at different times from early spring to late autumn, best producers are in spring. Hackberries are delicious, watermelon taste, but contain a tannin that is hard on the stomach, only eat a few at a time. Interesting tip about Ironwood!
Thanks! Agreed!
Great video! Lots of inspiration for me.
One thing to note, I believe that you should collect the mesquite pods off the tree (or have something to capture them as they fall). They can carry disease once they are on the ground
Super useful. I live in the Mohave Desert region of AZ at 3,500' elevation in Zone 8B for plantings. On a quarter acre but a lot of that is septic field. I have been here 1-1/2 years and have some veggies in large containers in part of the yard. Will be doing some renovations on the yard so your tips are helpful. Thanks. Congratulations on your new Fatherhood! Will you be growing Moringa at your tropical homestead property with Nicolle? I am thinking of it myself.
you did a fantastic job on putting your trees and bushes in ..I live in Arizona and doing our back yard ..you yards are just amazing thank you for posting this
Que bonito se le escucha decir nopales, nopalitos. Me encantan los nopales. Viva México 🇲🇽 Hermooooso jardín. Bendiciones 🕊
Awesome video I live in Phoenix Arizona and hung out at Tempe nightclubs for 2 years I'm originally from Florida I'm currently in Missouri but I liked your video good video! I am in to herbs and survival food kind of thing so thank you for your video!
Great video Jake. I love how you lead into each plant and its uses. Thanks you for sharing your knowledge and planting new ideas's (Peruvian Apple).
Thank you so much for sharing these awesome edible desert plant garden tips !
your so right about our landscape in Tucson, if I wanted a little snack bam there it is. the Flowers and mesquite trees are my fav! have to try the other plants.
This was the most helpful and inspiring video I've ever seen on native plants. Thank you so much.
Wow! I live in black canyon city AZ.... all those plants, cactus and trees are all around me....
Thanks for the info ✨
God Bless You Bro....

Ty so much!!! I am going to go all and I mean all of the plants you suggested!! I am so excited to find edible and dessert friendly plants !!
This is so awesome!!! I just moved to Arizona from Washington a few months ago and have been looking for this knowledge base! Keep posting these videos and I'll watch them all :) thanks for the knowledge brother. Cheers!
That Peruvian apple cactus is Amazing!
Just found you and so happy I did.
I moved from Virginia Beach to Tucson September, 2019 and in the process of doing away with the horrible gravel..
Awesome! I visit my parents in Florence twice a year and I’m always looking for edible native healing plants. This helped me so much! 👍🏼😁
Nice!
Your soil has been well amended Jake hence the fast growth on those new plants. Its makes all the difference.
So that's the thing about being lost in the desert. You'll die of thirst long before you die of hunger.
Great video. Thanks.
Very informative. Thanks.
excellent..iam trying very hard to add more edible and native plants to my small yard..as a tucson resident i found this to be exactly what i was looking for. a huge thank you !
awesome, thank you very much. just moved to sedona and I am going to start doing some edible landscaping in my yard. super excited about your channel :)
Excellent info on edible native plants! Thank you!
Oh thank you!!! I needed this information. I’m back to the desert after living in western Washington for a long time. I’m missing my gardening I did up there. This helps.
This is so great, I have to relocate and will be living in the desert.
I can watch this over and over, again
Thank you so much, for sharing - amazing
keep up the good work ( no matter what ) - Have a good one !
The edible cactus is actually very good and it has a very unique texture!
Hi Jake! Greetings from Avondale, AZ...Very inspirational!!!!! Just a note on the Aloe Vera also known as " Sávila", never eat or use the yellow part of the Aloe Vera because that part is poisonous. Regarding the Indian Fig Nopal, you can also make salads with it...cut a raw chunk of it and add it to your orange or grapefruit natural juice with a bit of honey, blend them all together and enjoy, great to control weight and prevent diabetes and several kinds of cancer.... regarding the Mesquite pods, boil them with a plenty of water like when you boil Hibiscus flowers aka "Flores de Jamaica" or the Tamarind pods to make iced sweet infusions just add your fav sweetener and a few drops of lemon or lime to any drink or infusion after boiling them, deshelling and deseeding them, blend all with Ice add your fav sweetener and voilà! you have a very delicious (Agua fresca de Mesquite) or Mesquite drink. There are a lot of recipes for cactus leaves and its fruit known as "tunas" ( pronounced: too-nah in singular or Too-nahs pl) ) that is prickly pears, like salsas with chiltepin peppers (also native ( very expensive if your buy them in the store) and hot small peppers, cilantro, tomatillos milperos also native those are small green/yellowish tomatoes, normally grown wild near the corn crops, sea salt, garlic, onion... except for the tuna, roast everything and then use your mortar set ( molcajete and mano) or use your food processor or blender a few drops of green lime or lemon and enjoy with your fav meal, also "Pitahayas" that is Dragon fruit... and many more for all your edible delicious garden plants and fruits. You will find tons in Spanish recipes for all this edible plants you have in your lovely garden, not that many in English unfortunately here in youtube. I also suggest add to your lovely healthy and delicious garden plants that normally people throw away as an unwanted weeds and they are very healthy and medicinal and use them as normal food, cook with them or use them raw in salads or juices those are: Purslane in Spanish: "verdolagas" and "malva" or the infamous Marshmallow weed that grow everywhere, especially during spring, they are amazing edible plants; the later one even the flowers and the fruits that look like small divided cheeses when tender before they turn hard and become seeds are edible and great for your health, controls blood pressure and keeps the body in shape amongst others like Dandelion "Diente de León" and much more... Great garden loved your video. Blessings!🥰🙏🙏🙏
Thanks 🙏
This video is awesome, love it 🌵
I didn't know the Peruvian Apple Cactus flowers were edible!!!! I have so much in my back yard! The arm do fall over tho.... Otherwise it's super pretty! Thanks so much! All those plants you mentioned I have in my yard... So I'm super excited to know you eat them all! 👍
Thank you so much for this video.
Great video with tons of great info. I will share this with my friends. Thank you. I just subscribed .
Great video dude. Really awesome yard. Thank you
Ironwood trees keep ground temperatures, on average, 15 F cooler than sun-exposed soil temperatures which can reach 148F+ here in the Sonoran desert. Like mesquites, ironwoods, members of the legume family (peas et al.), also fix nitrogen in the soil. Additionally, because of their density and (unlike yours, so far) slow growth, the heartwood of an ironwood is actually toxic to termites leaving healthy ironwoods relatively unaffected by such pests, the wood from a desert ironwood weighs in at a whopping 66-75 lbs per cubic foot. Lastly, it is thought they can live up to 800 years, however because of their density, ring-count dating is difficult. So, trim that bad-boy back and give yourself some shade on a hot summer day.
Beautiful place and view thanks for sharing
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Deffinatley helpful. Thank you! Im moving to the Pacific northwest but very helpful as i want a very diverse landscape when it comes to flora.

Hey man, really great video. Vegan Sonoran desert botanist here.
Thank you for "teaching" us how to grow, find and live off the land with these amazing plants. We will be heading that way to live off the grid and needed to know more about what and how to grow a garden in AZ. We look forward to watching more of your channel!
Hi there ..can you write name ofv10 trees please

🌿🌵💯🌿🌵
Great job !!
Thank you for the info. 😉
Moving to AZ. This is highly useful info!!
Your garden is beautiful its giving me so much inspiration ❤
awesome video I have been looking for edible plants of the desert for a while. I am originally from Europe where there is an abundance of wild edibles and I am familiar with. This is quite the change, new territory. Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing this video. I would love to plant all of the top 10 native plants in my yard in the high desert of California.
Nice video! Will definitely look into planting some of those berry plants! :D
Dam I am learning so much. I live in Tucson and just found a 5gal Peruvian Apple Cactus for about $40. I'm picking it up tomorrow. Thanks bud for increasing my plant vocabulary.
So cool
I'm not an athlete I'm a nerd so I love these videos about dessert plants
The Saguaro is also a psychoactive. Microdosing with it is being looked at as a possible treatment for depression, ptsd, etc. Exciting new possibilities for those who are suffering.
It's very cool that you have defied your regional climate and successfully created your own food forest.
Great video I sure wish that I would've known about some of those plants when I lived in East Phoenix just off of 48th street and Thomas I would've planted a few in my back yard, again really great video Take Care and Best Wishes
Arizona is such a beautiful place
Wow totally awesome I plan on moving back to the West perhaps NM great to know...Thank you bunches..
Very cool! I'm hoping to move to AZ someday and I will definitely come back to your videos for help! =)

Cactai.. Plural. Great video! Loved it. Xo
Food Forrest in Arizona? Brilliant!! Peace Love and Light to you ;)
Very Nice Presentation Jake, awesome!
I didn't realize there are so many native to AZ that are Edible, thx for the info.. :)
I just subscribed. I was looking around for people who gardened in phoenix. You're the best I've seen. I live in north phoenix in the sunburst farms district. I'm fortunate to have well irrigation in Phoenix, and with the wood chips and compost, I don't use city water at all even in July. I think you're a genius, and I can't wait to watch more videos.
De niño solía comer unos frutos color naranja, pequeños y muy dulces que se daban en un arbol espinoso, los llaman granjenos (celtis pallida). Saludos.
