- John from www.growingyour... goes on a field trip to Los Angeles, California to visit a 1920's bungalow house on a small property that is growing a tropical fruit tree orchard in the front yard. In this episode, you will discover over a dozen different rare varieties of fruit trees you can grow if you live in Southern California to feed you and your family. After watching this episode, hopefully you will be inspired to grow some fruit trees and eat more fruit!
Running into celebrities about town would not be nearly as life changing as running into this guy. Thank you so much for giving us the time. You are making a difference in my life for sure. My garden is going strong!

I love how he just grabs the long dried jujube off the ground and eats it, then he wipes the fresh guava he picked in his armpit, before saying it smells like perfume. I knew there was a reason I'm subscribed. Fun video!
I remember my Great Grandmother used every part of her yard to grow food She grew everything imaginable, fruit trees and just about any vegetable you could think of. She had this old dirt cellar that she did all her canning and the kegs of pickles that were delicious! I think what I miss is the time we spent together in the garden If you can get your kids involved, it not only introduces them to healthier eating, it brings you together as a family. Love your videos John, thanks for sharing!
I definitely love growing things money can't buy, or something I really love because when you grow it, it taste soooo much better than commercially grown food. I watched this video hoping to get some ideas for a new fruit tree we want to add. Thanks John for another awesome ep. and for the woman to share her garden with us!
achacha, atemoya, acerola, jaboticabs, muntingia calabura, surinam cherry, mangoes, yellow canistel, lychee,
John has the best attitude man I bet that’s also why he looks so young not just the greens but how he’s always in a good mood and good attitude
This video inspired me. I have almost 300 common and exotic fruit trees in a residential area in Southern California. I always look forward to harvesting the fruit.
That's nice!In Brazil we have fruits on the streets too,goibas,abacates, Blackberry,mangos.
I love your place.very nice.
Can't stop watching your videos. i live in the UK so sadly i can't grow most of the plants you share with us, until i get a polytunnel where i am going to grow myself a curry tree if nothing else.
I really want to move to a tropical area where I can grow so many fruit trees when I retire lol...drooling over all when watching...thanks for sharing...u really have so much knowledge on growing fruits and vegetables! Way to go!
Thank you John I always learn something new watching your videos
I love that every fruit tree is John's favorite :)
Coming from Surinam now living in Europe, i recognize most of the fruit trees, so nice to see them in your video
Would be cool to see an update on this property. Thank you for all that you do John!
One of the best videos i'de seen in you tube. Thank u john.
THATS SO AWESOME!!!!!
Wow look at the persimmon tree! It bears so many fruits. I love it a lot.
Thanks John!
Thanks man for taking the time out of your day to teach us newbie gardeners your vids
Love to see your smile everyday :)
Great video. Thanks John

Incredible
This video was impressive, John. It reminded me of my grandmother's herb garden in the backyard, which made me very emotional. Anyway, this was highly informative and has inspired me to want to grow my own fruit trees in the future. Thanks!
John these videos are gold!!!
Another good one! I saw a video similar to this about a family in pasadena who made their small property in a homestead/business for food. Seeing folks do this in one of the biggest cities in the US should give everyone hope that you are able to grow anywhere if you put the work into it. Thanks for sharing John and keep up the stellar work!
Literally go anywhere in Cambodia town or the Mexican population of Long Beach and this is the scene. You’ll see Longan forrests cherimoyas sapodillas and evening jackfruit!
@Leland Asa this is no place for bots
Wow, absolutely beautiful and tasty 💕
dude john your the man totally inspired me to grow my own garden!
I am in Nothern California and just planted small curry tree and we will see how it grows. I adore curry!
Curry leaf tree amazing
Dude you are a nut! LOL
Love your videos!
Great video John, love what you are doing.
"Give it some spice and all that jazz ))) - awesome!
I love your videos, gives me lots of ideas.
I have walked by that house before, it is nice to know what kind of fruit ks growing there.
John, I like this video. This is how I first found your videos. I searched for "Southern California" and "Exotic fruits", I have been watching your videos and I will keep watching. If you're looking for ideas for videos I wanted to suggest one, would you consider making a video and detailing which exotic fruit trees would fare better in subtropical areas such as Southern California? Maybe include topics like zone 9a/10a and which trees are possible with a little bit of care. Before I was searching all over the internet for trees that could thrive here (Even with a little bit of care for the frost/heat of a subtropical zone), now I am growing some of my own. Thanks John.
I personally have a few citrus varieties 2 different guavas and avocado tree and a passion fruit tree. Nothing like a passion fruit orange guava juice in the morning to start your day.
thank you for your videos. What can I plant in my hill side where I have 1000s of gophers. Im in San Fernando Valley
I'm in the Pasadena area of LA. I'm planning on growing many fruit trees as well. What are some natural methods of preventing birds and insects from eating up all the ripe fruit?
This makes me want to move to California. That and Arnold.
AWESOME Upload John, some many fruit trees that exist and yet we don't know of their existence, thankin' ya for bringing to our attention all these diverse species, thumbs up! =)
I know that from through the eighties and nineties as temperatures went up peach trees became less productive as the frost became less reliable, they need hard frosts to produce, and many orchards were shut down. But we are still in that in between kind of climate where the unexpected can grow and produce.
nice coverage
I have a few kaffir lime trees, persimmon, jujubee, guava, lime, tangerine, peppers, basil, and others in my small yard. Will love to have more fruit trees like apple.
the leaf ginseng @5:05 is known as Jewel of Opar. Once started they grow non-stop here in FL. great vid.
This garden is wonderful. By the video title, I thought you might be visiting the Dervaes urban homestead in LA. Awesome to know more folks are growing food not lawns.
great video! please do more tropic fruit tree videos! especially targeted for south florida please!
I live in South Georgia and I've know where there is a stand of persimmons growing in the wild. They aren't as big as the ones in the film but they do grow in an area which does get frost. The same with figs, which are quite popular around here. I do know that there are varieties of tropical fruit trees which will grow in this area, such as bananas and others you wouldn't think would given the frost. One just has to do their research and work to find them.
When you opened that huge guava, John, I found myself being forward to smell it, too!!!
One of My favorites. Trying to grow a sweetheart lychee here in Glendale, 8 years old, less than 5' tall, blooms like crazy, but loses all it's tiny fruit! Decomposing granitic soil .. too fast loss of water? Nutrients swept away from the roots? Water more often, but less time? More sun? Special food/nutrients for best flavor?
My uncle planted about 10 fruit trees in our backyard. So far there's 7 left. Our weather here in Louisiana sucks. My plants and veggies are doing great, though. My eggplant is producing 60 black beauty every 2.5 weeks.
Great Vid man. Great work you are doing. All of these grow well here in the Dominican Republic
people should grow at least a dozen "food plants".
There is so much waste from food going bad, to transportation , storage, labor etc...
its such a waste.
fruit trees grow pretty easy with little care.
There are perennial greens you can use for spinach , lettuce etc.
i grow %30 to %50 of my food
and i live in the suburbs.
The fruit is much better when it ripens on the tree
and i eat varieties that taste better, rather than grown for production.
Juju is easy to grow and very tasty and healthy.
fig, pomegranate, white sapote, mulberry.. will all grow to at least zone 8.
Oh boy ! You need to add more soil to moringa to let it grow faster and healty more leaves and stems but what you need to avoid was over watering because moringa loves dry season and some enough water would be goodp
There’s a Surinam cherry tree producing in San Jose, Ca at Emma Prusch Farm Park, there’s also producing banana there as well. Also at quarry lakes park in Fremont they have a few jabuticaba trees, surrounded by water so probably helps with the temp.
Those areas are a solid 9b zone so possible to grow weird exotics in 9b
you should visit glendale CA on your next trip to LA. Armenians there love to plant fruit trees you'll see them everywhere!
Todd S haha you're right, I'm only half Armenian and obsessed. Chinese people too.
And Mexicans too
Wow, you are in Nothern California ))) We are neighbours!
What was the organisation in So-Cal? We live in Vista and I am trying to get some trees planted but can not seem to find a few that would be similar to some I ate in West and Central Africa... I can however go down to our local market and find the fruits there but we'd love to grow some ourselves. Thanks!
Wow ! How many years old was that PERSIMMONS tree ?
really enjoyed this tx!
Harmony farms in Sebastopol sometimes carries grafted fruit trees I bought my mom a tree that had santa rosa plums two types of nectarines a two types of peaches grafted on a dwarf tree. They also had apples grafted with five different varieties. I got them in the spring but I believe they carry them in the fall as well. Maybe call and see if they have any in stock or place an order. Love your videos!
nice!
ugh i love persimmon
I have a few trees in my house and wish I had room for more.
Filipino fruits heck yeah
the Jujube Tree looks cool and tasty! never heard of them? are they a warm weather tree or could be plated in Pennsylvania?
Great video John, do you know where I can buy one of those purple guava trees?
John, I planed 5 fruit trees early this year. I want to keep them in small size tree and they are about 3 feet from each other. will it affect their fruiting? I don't need a lot of fruits from the same tree, but I want to have as many different trees as possible in limited space.
Hey John, you inspired me to prepare my own vegetable garden in my parents backyard ( im 16). I placed some compost and some leaves over it to get it ready for winter. Now shrooms are growing there. Is that a good or bad sign?
Awesome video - thanks! What type of mango do you suggest as best for Los Angeles?
Turf grass is a pet peeve of mine. Someone once called turf grass the biggest waste of fresh water on the planet. In our town in So. Florida we are REQUIRED to maintain a lawn in the front yard. This really bugs me as where I live (27 yrs) is known as Oak Hammock. We have beautiful stands of Live Oaks, Water Oaks, Wild Olive, Slash pine and other native species. Grass does NOT grow well under these trees and sprinkling stresses the trees, from too much water. Otherwise we have a Xeriscape yard.
When you get ready to plant a fruit tree, you mentioned putting nutrients and compost in the ground. My question is should you try to anticipate how far the roots will spread out in the future and prepare that soil as well right now so that when the roots eventually grow out that far, that they will have the rock dust, worm castings etc. already waiting for them, or are you just wasting your time and money because the nutrients will have already leached out.
I've tried the brown sugar fruit/ sapodilla, and I didn't think they tasted anything like brown sugar. Its hard to explain it, but I thought It had an amazing flavor. I was really suprised. Maybe a cross between a mango and a fig. But thats probably a wrong discription. Either way they taste amazing.
Put 3-6" of wood chips around base of fruit trees to provide insulation from cold weather, water retention, and fertilizer (after 1 year of breaking down).
I read one like that as well. The problem at least with the one I read about is that he lived in a HOA. He signed a contract then didn't want to follow the rules. Most cites have certain rules about keeping things looking good at least in the front .
Great videos, have a question. What kind of fruit trees can I plant in New Mexico. Our weather is crazy and unexpected with heat in the summer and color, frost, freezing and snow during the winter.
Lol john ..... props for eating the kaffir lime leaf raw...
hi, can you make a video about best seeds to grow in doors or in pot that will continue produce with ability to harvest from the plants any time in the year such as mints.
a complete list would be awesome.
thanks in advance man
Hi, how are you? I have a question? how to keep bare root tree alive for March Right now it January 18. today I receive a bare root tree from a nursery Help, please. are should I plant it in a pot.
Is the woman Filipina? I am too, would like to connect w her to grow fruits
Charito my gf is and knows little to nothing. you should teach her
Can you add names of the plants in infobox, please!
Saw the malaysian guava and thai guava do you see them. ? I live in socal
John,
I'm trying to select an attractive fruit tree for my front yard. I'm in Zone 5b, so i was looking at kikita persimmon trees, or jujubees. But both have small flowers and its tough to find what adult trees look like. Something that I can keep 12-15 feet tall would be ideal. Any suggestions?
In California I used to grow fruit in my front yard. When they ripened the Mexicans came and took it all to sell on street corners.
Wow
You're such a RACIST! how did you know they were "Mexican"? Did you card them or something???? What if they were from Guatemala? El Salvador? Peru? Nicaragua? Beliz? Ecuador? Venezuela? You get my point, right? ASSHOLE!!!!! 🖕
I hold the camera for the las vegas and southern cali shots (like this episode) :) On other locations he has another girl do it.
Wish you see my parent fruit tree in California too she grow a lot tropical tree and so my friend
The guava with the purple magenta flesh is a Red Malaysian Guava or another variety?
I'm just surprised you didn't address the issue of drought and water use limits- all fruits and veg require substantial water, even with drip technique, etc.
Water restrictions aren't so bad in certain areas of California
More tours
Those are really rare fruit trees if John doesn't know their name. lol
what an inspiring video John! makes me wanna move to LA
nah, in la you would have to spend money on watering them, rather than if you lived somewhere thats actually tropical and gets enough rain and year round warm temperatures like south florida, hawaii, puerto rico, us virgin islands, guam, or us samoan islands, and thats in the usa alone
Rawismyreligion water is cheap. and we don't have as many mold problems with the nice dry air.
My neighbor planted at least 10 to 15 fruit trees on his front yard
john your videos are awesome ive watched since your 400thor so vid and i have one question, who holds the camera
John will the resident share some contact information?
In Asia we use rose water in cooking
I love you
1:28 I just have realized that its not the fruits fault. Its the conventional growing methods fault perhaps. I guess some fruits really are not good to ship but i think there could be a lot more financially viable fruits people can base their business off of. The key is to just eat locally one way or the other I guess
What is the name you were eating at 7:40 please? I couldn't take it out but would love that tree: )
Mónika Jákli Jujube
You rock!
Thanks again \m/^_^\m/
I live like 2 hours south of los angeles (san diego) I was just wondering, could I grow papaya trees here in southern CA? Also could I grow pineapples too? (some seeds I put in my chicken incubator sprouted) and they're mexican papayas
my friend grows papaya in fountain valley so i guess so
15 years? Think you got the maths messed up hahaha in 2013 it was like 25 years :D
John I got durian velvet apple mangosteen in Naples Florida no green house
Is your durian dead yet?
