Hello, good video.This year I bought two self-pollinating pitahaya varieties and a pitanga tree. Here in Catalonia you have to protect the tropical trees.
My larger Papaya plants have got a bit of cold damage which caused the larger leaves to droop then die but I don't care because they will grow new leaves & I hope fruit when the weather warms up, some of my smaller red papaya plants are in my greenhouse & they're receiving frost protection but that didn't stop one of my King Thai mango seedlings from dying. I have a few self sown papaya plants, some of them which are growing within some shrubbery (near a hibiscus 🌺 tree) are still green & they haven't been exposed to the light frosts & cold we get near Newcastle in New South Wales. My mulberry tree is beginning to sprout new leaves now in July, it's self sown after a bird which ate some mulberries did a crap in one of my plant pots. My banana plant leaves are starting to become slightly yellow as well. My jackfruit plants in my greenhouse have had some problems with mold as Alyssa has also had problems with but my Cempedak plant is handling the winter weather very well. Newcastle also has a humid subtropical climate & our winter tends to start later in May or on the first week of June, the days will begin to warm up by mid September so in 6 weeks I will drag my potted cassava plants out from underneath the house so that they can grow back,I planted them 1 year ago &; they hate the cold & even a light frost which is why I placed them underneath the house. So we get about 3 months of winter & the last week of August was a struggle once because it got up to 32°C then on the first week of September the temperature plummeted down to 17°C again. We have been getting heaps of rain this year & in all seasons, this winter has been very wet,I can't wait until spring & summer time, winter will be well & truly over by the end of September !
Love the update! your abiu is doing better than mine. Mine is heated and it’s a lot older than yours so I’m jealous. Your soursop is doing amazing too. Mine is a stick and it’s in my hothouse haha
Most people are too busy focusing on themselves, not their fault, as that's how we are raised and educated to be. ie. Double college degrees without the faintest clue on locating random countries on the map.
Welcome back guys, great to see an up to date video and lets be honest, looks like your plants enjoyed the holiday as much as you did 😁
Thanks Brett!

Your winter is 2 months shorter than mine. Risk of frosts from May 1st to Nov 7th.

Your soursop is doing amazing too.
Mine is a stick and it’s in my hothouse haha
Thanks! Good luck to everyone in bitter cold Melbourne growing soursop and abiu!
I watched the whole hour. Love it
Thanks mate!
Looks like the winter protection is working really well!
So far so good, but there's 6-8 weeks of winter cold remaining!
Those neighbors getting that rack? How ya gonna harvest it?
Neighbours aren't into fruit, so the birds get what I don't pick.
Nice 👍👍👍

@marisaphoenix1893 but it's hard to hear everything at 2× speed
@@dougs_urbanfarm 2x speed?
@@marisaphoenix1893 you can set the speed of the video In youtube, I don't have time to watch an hour so speed it up and get it done in 30mins
Ha ha it’s amazing how ignorant people overseas are of the climate here in Australia. Imagine thinking we all live in the desert 🤦🏻♀️
