I have learned a lot about what not to do and what trees do well. Thank you both for this video. Or a side note, Mr. Larry needs to write a book for southern fruit production.This knowledge needs to be preserved for future generations. 😊
Glad you picked up some info. Thank you for watching.
Great content. We need more southern fruit tree content on youtube.
That was interesting he's like me lot's of information stuck in there good guy to talk with never know what you're going to learn.
great video with lots of info thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome to see this long format interview and tour. Larry seems like a wealth of knowledge and all around great guy.
Also, Jujube should be ripened past the crisp stage. when they turn reddish brown, and are soft inside they taste like applebutter and kind of like dates. One of the best fruit out there, just need to eat at the right stage.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is excellent video man what a wealth of knowledge
Much appreciated
Wow that's a lot of information to take in on one video, I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible information. Alot of info. Lol have to watch AGAIN
Thanks, look for future grafting videos
You go Larry!!!
I'm to the point where I don't want dwarfing rootstock. I got an apple I grew from seed to set fruit in a few years through pruning and bending down the branches to change the hormones in the tree. Seedling trees can support the tree with better roots. Keep them to the height you want with pruning like the gentleman in the video said.
The dwarf rootstock tends to be weak, in my experience.
Wow! That was great. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I really enjoy the videos with Larry Stephenson! Im a kindred spirit and fruit tree nut in new england
Thanks for the comment, where in New England? I lived in Maine for 3 years. Absolutely love the New England area.
I’m a carpenter on Martha’s Vineyard. I grow apples, pears and peaches and wholesale them to a farmstand here. Mostly apples. I’ll sell trees and scionwood in a couple of years.
@@charliedanielson4970 Awesome!
So glad I found yall idk why RUclips wouldnt show me a channel like this as we are literal neighbors and I seek out channels like yalls but anyway I seen your video with Billy will give a follow and howdy from Baldwin County😘
Hey neighbor, welcome. What part of Baldwin county? Stay plugged in, our local community always has something going on.
This is absolutely wonderful! Loved this and how much i learned. Great insights! Larry is a treasure! I subscribed just now, too.
Thank you for watching and subscribing, glad you enjoyed the video
I really think we need to get to saving seed off the fruit and go full Luther burbank and mass plant seeds looking for new varieties and local adaptation.
I agree 100%
That's exactly what I do. Plant the seeds...
Wonderful 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
My Grandfather said that Mulberry leaves killed worms in horses. I've never owned horses, so I don't know. There must be something in the leaves that kills parasites. Great video. GOD bless
God Bless! Mulberry makes good fodder. My goats love it.
@@FlomatonFamous I wonder if it helps keep the parasite load down?
Was it Jerry Dedon that gave you the flying dragon?
None of fig trees died down to the ground this year.
Can u guys do a video in summer time fruits?
Sure will
That commentary on likely beneficial effects of fire ants was interesting. I wonder if the aeration of the roots is helpful as well.
Fire ants are often said to be predatory, but I have seen them go after some of my figs. If a pear falls on the ground and is a little rotten they will get on those also. One of my white english bulldogs has learned to roll a fireant infested pear to get the ants off so she can chew on the pear. Other than going after the figs, I have never seen fireants directly damage a tree or the fruit. I will pay more attention to my mulberries to see if they go after those at all. They do not control web worms. But when pulled off the tree web worms and I have torn the cocoon I will put them on a fireant mount. Not sure if the ants go after them our not.
The common fireant is not native to the USA, but have been here for at least 90 years and were said to have come in via the port of Mobile. I am between Pensacola and Milton, FL. I do not feed the dogs outside and I obviously am not doing enough to control them. The worst insect for me are the ground dwelling yellow jackets.
I would like to know more about it also. I'll be looking into it.
If you ever get a source for hicks ever bearing mulberry get it and if you can spread the word on where to find it. That should spread all over the south in my opinion.
I have a guy that is giving me one of his rooted cuttings.
@@FlomatonFamous I have a small air layered hicks I was given last year. It is alive, has still not put out any leaves and I guess it has a lot of red mulberry ancestry in it. While it grew last year, it is still only 24-29 inches tall from the 6 inches that it was when I got it.
I have read that the hicks berries are not the best tasting and their intended purposed was to feed pigs that are not quite too particular.
I do have a seedling mulberry with medium berries that has an outstanding taste. A friend dug it up as a volunteer.
Eliza Greenman was selling them, but I do not know where that project is at for the moment.
Apparently she is using leased land according article that i found and she is trying to buy land in Virginia. Title for a recent youtube from her ''Mulberries with Eliza Greenman (2021 Tree Fodder Seminar)''
@@loquat4440 ok thanks
There is a big difference from inland africa and I assume Uganda vs Florida summers. We do not cool down much at night in florida in the summer that makes a big deal when growing tomatoes. I wonder if it has a role fruit tree blooming. It also might not be as humid also. Of course not true if one is talking about a low land river area like the Congo or Zambezi River areas.
I was a little curious so I looked it up. They are growing apples in upland areas and are having to manually strip the leaves. They are successfully growing Anna and Golden Dorset.
Great content. Love learning about these Southern Apples. Would love to find out more about them. My good buddy Matt Dean from Dean Family Acres sent me your channel. Quick question, he mentions Pineapple pear. I have one of those and a Sugar pear. What variety do I need to cross pollinate them? I have had a hard time finding information about them.
Awesome! Welcome, the key to pollination is proper bloom time. I would recommend Baldwin Pear, Hood Pear, and Acres Home. or just do like I do. Get them all! lol.
@@FlomatonFamous Haha 😂 I like that approach l!
I currently have about 30 to 40 trees already. A few more can’t hurt! I’m thinking now a late frost might have got the fruit set but might pick up one of these you recommend. Which one is the best eating one? Btw, I have a Jiro and Fuyu like the gentleman was mentioning when talking about Asian Persimmons!
I didn't recommend Southern Bartlett because you can't buy it in a store but I think Southern Bartlett is the best tasting and blooms around the same time as the others. My wife likes the Fuyu types, I prefer the astringent types, my favorite is Saijo. If you don't have one, you've got to add it to your orchard.
@@FlomatonFamous We have tons and tons of wild American persimmons around here, they are astringent as well. Do you have those near you? Once ripe, they taste like balls of honey with hints of caramel. I make persimmon pudding from them. I plan to try to make persimmon pudding from the Fuyu and see if ya taste the same. I’m in the south and I see Bartlett at my local feed and seed that’s about 5 minutes away. Is that the same as the one you mentioned? I know that one by just Bartlett so wasn’t sure if it is the same. Thanks buddy.
Yes, we have wild persimmon everywhere, if you like the wild ones, you'll love Saijo. Bartlett and Southern Bartlett are two completely different trees.
@ 8:10, what is the orange/yellow material on the ground? Sawdust? Just curious, trying to learn from an expert, and this man definately knows what he is doing. Much appreciated for sharing the video!
Yes, it's pine shavings.
@@FlomatonFamous I am guessing that is to retain moisture?
@@whunderwood and to control weeds
54:05 can you propagate Arkansas Black spur from Stark Brothers and sell it?
Starkspur is a registered trademark so you can’t use the name but I think the patent has expired. So technically yes but you can’t use the name. I’m not 100% sure. Be sure to look further into it
