Love the beautiful plants. Amazing garden. Labour of love. It's satisfying to eat the fruits. Watching from Malaysia. My garden is small. I just planted on the roadside around my corner lot house with papaya, pomegranate,markisa or passionfruit. mulberry, Cashew, noni, moringai- these young leaves are delicious when eaten fresh with sambal or boiled, or stir-fried. 3 variety of limes calamansi or kasturi, kaffir lime and limau nipis. Pandan, serai, serai wangi or fragrant serai , kesum or Vietnammese coriander, and lots of local vegetable plants.
It's great you're adding so much variety to your garden! My wife and I love visiting Malaysia for its durian and unlimited cempedak during peak season. ruclips.net/video/Cz0tYZpfuGg/видео.html Last year, we feasted on durian in Petaling Jaya. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Australia Day! I am surprised and happy that the jackfruits and wax jambu made it thru winter. The bungee cords fray and disintegrate in strong sunlight after an year or so.
Interesting approach to keep the mango tree in shape with the bungee cords. I was told not to do this because it would disrupt normal nutrient flow to the mangoes and the tree is used to bending down and going out of shape...In fact I saw someone purposely bending branches to induce fruiting... It will be interesting to see what happens in your case 🙂 Keep up to good work!
Looking great George, I particularly love the jungle feeling you get in your backyard, every trip into the yards an adventure! The Tassie pepper will probably need a friend as you need male and female varieties
Luckily I am a long time viewer. When you said you dont pamper the jakfruit I can remember that you wrapped it in a blanket for several months last year which is an important tip to pass on
After watching your video with the ornamental ginger, I ended up buying an orange one on eBay. I'll try and manage it in a pot even if it drives me crazy with regularly repotting it. Congratulations on your Glenn Mango, I can almost taste them. Just a question, I am pretty certain I saw a video where you pointed out a Malabar Chestnut, if so, can you say where you have it? Sorry that I can't remember, it's just that I have one in a pot, I got it at around 300-400 mm about 18 months ago and it's almost 1500mm (in the pot) and actively growing. It's undercover, but I'm not sure if I should try and plant it out next Spring before it becomes ridiculously large, or I should just enjoy a jungle under the pergola? 😆
The Malabar Chestnut is in the ground under the pink Guava in the backyard. Up to you but I would plant it inground if it's thriving. Plant in a shady spot.
Looks greats George😮. The only thing missing now is rain which we don’t get in Melbourne during summer . I had a question in regards to bananas . I have a 2 year old duccas banana plant that has grown a 2 pups bit one decided not to grow this season . Still has its winter leaves so I decided to cut it half an still hasn’t grown. Would you know why ?
Bananas are heavy feeders and love water in summer, so they may need either or both. I would add half a bag of organic compost around them and water away. Water again each day for a week and check for growth. First, be sure the soil beneath is free draining as bananas are prone to root rot.
The higher the tree the less it’s exposed to cold. Temperatures are measured at 4 foot high but it can be 2C colder at ground level so a 2C recorded minimum may actually have a ground frost.

So excited every time you post brother, brings joy to my life sharing your garden, thank u
Glad to hear it brings joy, I get the same from seeing the results!

Thanks for watching! I’m thinking about adding the opposite variety if I see it.
Luckily I am a long time viewer. When you said you dont pamper the jakfruit I can remember that you wrapped it in a blanket for several months last year which is an important tip to pass on
I don't pamper it with fertilizers, foliage sprays and other chemicals.
If I don't wrap it in winter, it will die back.
Looking great! The Glenn has put on a good crop this year and good size as well.
I'm so happy to finally have a decent crop of mangoes this year, it's been a while coming. Over 10 years!

@ thank you, I shall make plans. 😊

Any reason why you’re focused on jackfruit height instead thick branches and trunk? I also have a black gold btw…..
The higher the tree the less it’s exposed to cold. Temperatures are measured at 4 foot high but it can be 2C colder at ground level so a 2C recorded minimum may actually have a ground frost.
@ got it. How come you never show your loquat trees? Also, any fruiting Mamey sapotes in Melbourne that you know of?

@@yoelgonzalez347 I'm the only grower in Melbourne growing Mamey Sapote. Fruiting trees are a decade away.
That mango tree is going to destroy your neighbours house
It's unlikely to get very tall in Melbourne. Probably in 3 decades it will get to be 6 meters tall maximum.
Five meters tops in 30 years. A milestone for my 90th birthday.
The tree won't even come within a meter of their house eaves after 300 years.
