Your farm is a dream for me I working my butt to buy atleast an 1 ha of land I'm not from USA and I love your stuff I've always loved tropical trees and trees in general Sadly I don't have a huge backyard even with that I planted some trees some in pots some in soil But I need to buy a land and achieve my dream maybe next year I've been saving money for some years now Thanks for your videos I really love them and I learned a lot
I knew I could smell a new video from you. Such a lovely video! I bought new soil, universal soil. And I also bought a fungicide. I decided to check the moisture of the soil, still pretty damp, moist even. The tree is starting to die back, the top is slowly, but surely turning black. I sniffed the soil. The smell immediately reminded me of the previous mango tree and apple tree that rapidly died from root rot. It also reminds me of coins or trash. Not good, not good at all. However, the tree is still budding, although I'm seeing some death on 2 of the largest buds. I'm going to prune it once again, for the third time, to stop that infection. Looking forward for another live stream!
My Pickering mango is loaded with flowers and is starting to set some fruits after a frost-free (knock on wood) winter in West Central Florida Zone 9b. It was a 15 gallon tree that I planted in June 2023 and it put on a bunch of canopy growth before winter when it started to bloom. Seems like what I've heard about this variety being an aggressive early producers has been true thus far. And for fellow mango back yard growers and zone-pushers, this variety can be kept small which means you can more easily protect it from the cold by implementing a heating source and building a canopy to retain the warmth if a freeze is imminent. Highly recommended!
Good afternoon to bro,nice viewing your video, one thing I've seen from your farm is bee keeping, of course due to the fruits trees on your farm with so much flowers, i guess the bees always around those flowers eh,have a great day.i,m viewing!!
@@SleepyLizard i’m about just getting over the first flush of flowers, no fruit yet on my red hybrid jaboticaba just mentioning things that i saw flowering recently!
I learn so much from your Videos, Tom, yes, 2024, promises, to be bountiful! When they are shedding, do you use what drops on the ground as fertilizer? it would be nice, if we could crush the organic food trash, for fruit trees? Love your Videos, will come and visit soon!!!!! Thank you!!!
I watched your live stream i also have vw bus im in Australia and i have a 55 panel van. Does your bus have the tube style engine cradle. Im restoring mine from a pile of junk in a box trailer
I'm in New Mexico and I was telling my wife that I wish we had your weather cause we have five acres doing nothing just desert land I would fill it just like you.
When the weather is against you it's sucks Some nations and area are just blessed with perfect weather for trees Plenty of rain and good composted soil Our earth is not build equal 😂😢 Like Im not gonna lie I would love to have the Indonesian weather You throw a seed it will grow into full tree without any care 😂😂😂
Another Great Video! Let me ask you: for small (young) trees: Do you let them have fruit or do you remove them? Would you consider making a video on younger trees with flowers?
Hello from Boston, my avacado plant is just starting to come up, & fall is just around the corner. Any advice for indoor plant light, since the plant will be living an apartment life Sunlight is getting shorter, ands it not that hot or humid. ??? What do I do ???😮
I have a slider with balcony, on back side of the building not too much sunlight gets into this apartment, that's why I was thinking plant light?? But don't know much about using one, I don't want to damage the plant.
Hi, I'm just getting fruitlets form for the first time on my trees in Miami, FL. I was wondering, for fruits that form now in March, when does fruit get ripe (how many months approximately after fruit formation)? I have Catalina and Choquette (is behind Catalina by about 30-45 days).
You can start picking Catalina around 1st week of August. Choquette start first week of September. Pick your biggest first and let the smaller ones size up for later.
OK, I found this one. For the avocado blossoms, but I need to know what they look like when they're just starting out. Are they pointed? Are they easy to recognize. Because when she did bloom it was right at the top of the tree that I couldn't see. I was just wondering if it's just new growth or can I get excited? I might get avocados this year.
Have you made or planning to make a video on after graft care? When to remove tape, any tips to prevent failure, pests, reinforce the graft from wind damage.
wait, you mean the hurricane don't you? ☺️. I thought you meant the mineral. We are not in the cone so I'm not doing anything. That said we are pretty much always prepared for a hurricane...only thing I usually need to do is one last grocery store run and top off on fuel
Really like this video!! The spring Bloom is just so glorious!! Thanks for sharing 😊
such a great time of year.
Your Orchard is looking Great!
Thank you. Another month it'll be do full of color
You should get the wife a bouquet of mango/avocado flowers ;)
excellent idea and I know just where to get them
My Hass avocado tree is finally flowering, its full of them. Its about 3 years old. Im so proud of it
yes!
Nice to see your tree loaded with flowers we didn’t have much flowers on our tree this year. Love from India
hello from Florida
I'm in South Africa, thank you Tom ❤🇿🇦
Hello from south Florida
Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful time of year
Oh man! You’re gonna have an awesome season! My wife can’t wait for the Longans to be ready!
I can't wait for y'all to come pick some.
Your farm is a dream for me

Hey Falco, how you doing?

💪
my jaboticaba are very happy right now, bananas, avocado, surinam cherry and pitangatuba, god is good!
yes! normally we're picking joboticaba by now but this year it's a little behind for us
@@SleepyLizard i’m about just getting over the first flush of flowers, no fruit yet on my red hybrid jaboticaba just mentioning things that i saw flowering recently!
ah ok so we are in synch it would seem
@@SleepyLizard indeed sir, 9b hillsborough county

Whatever drops I let lie. The process of decomposition creates heat and protects the trees in cold nights
Mmmmm Mango Ketchup!!
is that a thing?
@@SleepyLizard It should be!
Thanks for the tour Tom! Everything looks healthy and great.
Could you recommend a good place to purchase mamey and logan trees?
Thank you. I got all my mamey and longan at Lara Farms
@@SleepyLizard Great...thanks so much!
I have exactly the opposite of what you have in Central Florida. My Choquette is ahead of the Simmonds by 2 weeks.
two excellent varieties
Great farm! Is it marcot avocado that's why only 8 months makes flowering.?
I should have been more clear. they were only in the ground 8 months but they had been in pots for 2 years. they are Brogdon variety.
Wow , just found , what growing area are you in. Or climate. Looks like FLORIDA , NEW SUB , here enjoy your Joy with Gardening
welcome to the channel. we are in homestead fl. usda hardiness zone 10b
Where's the cannabis?
😱
Not legal for anyone to just grow lol 😅
Thanks Tom...
Be careful, saw you have bandage in your finger...
yeah I stuck myself filming a vid last week
I watched your live stream i also have vw bus im in Australia and i have a 55 panel van. Does your bus have the tube style engine cradle.
Im restoring mine from a pile of junk in a box trailer
my engine cradle is the pressed one with almost square edges.
How do you stop pest from eating my flowers off my oro avacado trees its eating baby fruit also? Dont know if its mites, thrips. Ants ect!
I'm in New Mexico and I was telling my wife that I wish we had your weather cause we have five acres doing nothing just desert land I would fill it just like you.
Yeah we are so fortunate to be able to grow such delicious fruit
When the weather is against you it's sucks

Another Great Video! Let me ask you: for small (young) trees: Do you let them have fruit or do you remove them? Would you consider making a video on younger trees with flowers?
I have the same question!
I remove them. I have a vid from a few months back where I show what we do and the rationale
Hello from Boston, my avacado plant is just starting to come up, & fall is just around the corner. Any advice for indoor plant light, since the plant will be living an apartment life
Sunlight is getting shorter, ands it not that hot or humid. ??? What do I do ???😮
I don't know much about indoor lighting but my dad keep avocado trees going up in Pennsylvania all year round, he puts them near a window
I have a slider with balcony, on back side of the building not too much sunlight gets into this apartment, that's why I was thinking plant light?? But don't know much about using one, I don't want to damage the plant.

Do you have any problems with powdery mildew????
we don't but people about 60 miles from here get it
Do you bring in bees for polination?
No. We have a lot of bees around here. Some of my colleagues bring in hives

just give it another day or two and you'll see if it's flowers or new leaves
Have you ever airlayed any of your trees?
yes, mulberry and loquat. I don't do it with avocado nor mango but you can if you want.
Do you find that different methods work for different species of friut trees?
@@sedition517 yes
Have you made or planning to make a video on after graft care? When to remove tape, any tips to prevent failure, pests, reinforce the graft from wind damage.
Mine ain't fruiting it flowered last year too but did not fruit. Only have a single plant is that the issue? what can i do about it?
What fruit, what variety, and where are you?
Where can I get some avocado scions
www.guacfarm.com
What are you doing for Beryl?
I just use my natural soil and fertilize once per year
wait, you mean the hurricane don't you? ☺️. I thought you meant the mineral.
We are not in the cone so I'm not doing anything. That said we are pretty much always prepared for a hurricane...only thing I usually need to do is one last grocery store run and top off on fuel
@@SleepyLizard
Hurricane Beryl. Reports say Jamaica will get it hard.
@@jorgefiguerola1239 yeah, I realized what you meant a few minutes after I replied. and yes hopefully it ducks south of Jamaica
My avo trees aborted its small avos.
How old is the tree?
4 years but grown from pit. Only grafted some trees 3months back.
