Food forests are awesome. Beautifully executed.
She is so knowledgeable and passionate! Grateful for this video!
She's very knowledgeable.
Wow, Amanda is super knowledgeable and passionate about growing food and leveraging natural resources . Keep up the great growing! ❤
Looks beautiful, Amanda. Thank you for the video @Fruitful Trees!
Amanda and her husband are living proof the earth is paradise if we just let it be natural. Her beauty is also proof that eating natural leads to the healthiest life. I’m sure her family will live beyond 100.
Thank you Amanda for this wonderful tour of your awesome foodforest. So much information and inspiration. Also love your book 🌿💚🌿
What an absolutely delightful tour. I loved Amanda’s enthusiasm and generous information. I was sold on the tropical almond and have immediately ordered some seed to plant. It’s known as an Indian Almond also.
Hi there! Where did you get the tropical almond tree from and how has it worked out for you!
"Full sun" = in the shade in Florida.
😆So true.
Full sun in Florida = sunburnt leaves and dead plants.
What a beautiful property! We moved to south Gulf Coast Fl three years ago. No mature trees and a postage stamp size yard! Plus we have three small digging dogs! I’ve started planting a lot of trees from seed, moringa grows like mad, coconut, avocado and citrus: plantain and banana I’ve gotten from discarded plants curbside plus some plant sales. Still have little shade. I cannot afford $80-120 trees. So probably some will not produce until I’m gone, but that’s ok.
SO TRUE.
Full sun means under an oak tree.
Thanks for the video! Amanda has been really helpful in the permaculture community. Looking forward to reading her book!
My dream yard! We plant and plant and plant in our Florida yard. There is always something new to learn and grow
Fantastic and fascinating
I ADORE HER
The knowledge this lady has is priceless! She should have her own RUclips channel.
I'd love to visit. I'm definitely getting your book. Sounds amazing!
Use lots of natives myself. The roots of natives support the native microbes that aid plant immunity.
Love your beautiful yard and diversity of plants. Love all types of fruits: jackfruit, mangoes, papaya, mulberry, but Jujube, I have tried a few and cannot understand why they are liked, tasteless with a tinge of slime.
Mulberry leaves are edible raw, as a kid I used to wrap 5 berries per leaf and eat it 🤣🤣🤣 little did I know it was a vegan fruit burrito 😅
Great video. Just like watching documentary film on tv channel. Beautiful couple. Love everything in this garden. Please make more films like this. Thanks
Sadly my van is not too cheap on Gas but thanks for the thought
At 46:14 the tree looks like an rose apple.
Awesome.!! I'm trying to do and have a similar business.! Keep it up lady ! She's badass. Let's get planting
I also save most of my planting for before supposed rainy spells/storms.😉
I feel like a need a little clone of this lady and have her in my pocket. She knows sooook much! I'm amazed😮 I love this food forest. This has helped me to see my dream in real life. In fact, it's better than what I thought for myself. It's really helped me grow my ideas. Thank you so much for posting this. ❤
MA'AM, I so enjoy listening to you. Very interesting the knowledge you have on the different variety of plants and how your orchestrated ecosystem is very much thought through. You are also a very beautiful lady which makes it so easy for me to become more interested in home farming which is what I am attempting. Thank you for all your information.
So incredible the couples efforts are so fruitful proof positive of what can be created with dedication and love of the soil.we have to kill off the Monsanto evil. Natural creates such beauty and nutrient rich output
Can you ask for a link to the African Mango Pruning channel? I would be interested in watching those videos
Paul, thank you very much for this awesome tour.
The silk mimosa tree has good medicinal applications too. It is a nitrogen fixer but other experiments using it as a soil amendment suggests that is has some allopathic chemicals in it. Great tree nonetheless.
The problem with tropical almond is even slightly chilly weather freezes it back to the roots. In Eastern Central Florida (10a) I have had one for years and protect it every freeze and it still goes back to roots. So very limited distribution, especially for commercial uses. IF she gets rambutan to fruit she will be one of, if not the first, in Florida to have an inground rambutan fruit, not in a green house(which has been limited itself). Coconuts are invasive? We in 10a wish they were invasive here. I have a friend down the road with serious winter protection on his two 12 year old coconut palms and still no fruit.
Awesome video Paul thanks for sharing such great jobs they're doing
Wow, she’s very intelligent. Beautiful yard.
Thank you for this video. Any snakes?
Very educational! Thank you Amanda!
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Amanda and her husband are so inspirational. I've learned so much and am excited to create a food forest!
I want to hear the food forest songs!! I run our school’s garden club and I could definitely use some new material!!
yes, I love it! want more videos. Thanks for doing ths.
Large shrub, not Mimosa, it's a Calliandra surinamensis, bananas are not trees.
Need think about how a lot of people are on ¼ acre or smaller. How can they grow foods, in a landscape, not rows.
You have an awesome yard, great community spirit.
Powder puff common name of Calliandra.
Mimosa is its commonly given vernacular name by lots of people, and it's not entirely unfounded since this species is a fabaceae which does belong to the mimosoid clade. But you are right to remind us its true name, accuracy is very important because if someone uses "mimosa" as a keyword for a google search he might struggle to find the right species!
Tropical almond were my childhood memories. You could eat the fruits and seeds.
did the fruit just taste like peach?
We ordered a tropical almond tree after watching this video. It should arrive today
Yes pretty sure is a rose Apple
Another great video. Thanks
The unknown tree definitely a Java plum or Jamun, Syzigium Cumini, I have one and beautiful tree and delicious fruit.
Sold my Homestead to come to Florida to grow a tropical food forest . but holy moly, how do you garden in sand? How do you deal with these weeds that grow quicker than you can pull them up. i’m at the very beginning stages. and really appreciated her talk about weeds. It’s your fault Paul I saw your backyard and thought I have to go do that too.😂🙌🏻
It’s not true about you have to plant one for wildlife one for you. Unfortunately if I wouldn’t cover my 5 cherry trees I wouldn’t able even to taste any, because of birds. Same for other plants, deers eating everything. They really ruined our ecosystem
Love the Katuk ! Difficult to grow here, though, in the Interior Low Metro Phoenix (Tempe) desert area. Great video !
The mystery tree at 45:45 looks like a Rose Apple.... gorgeous delicious
Jujube is not a date. It’s only called a Chinese date.
Curry is made from the curry leave. Not necessarily a mix of spices. The main ingredient is curry leaves.
Excellent tour and interview
I would love to buy your cook book, if you don't have one, then I would gladly pay for you to create one for me...
Thank you for sharing! What is the plant with the white flower, at the beginning, next to the firebush?
Plumeria obtusa
Where is she located? Im writing a book and would like to interview her if she’s not to far away.
2.5 acres??? They did all of this on just 2.5 acres!?
I didn’t think butterfly tea had any flavor 🤷🏼♂️
Mimosa aww my favorite d m t plant❤
Someone know what part of florida this land is?
jupiter florida
No irrigation, but Florida gets 55 inches of rain a year.
Awesome video! Thank you
Great place. Great content.
She is five seconds from setting the yard on fire.
Great video 👍
46:26
What plant is that?
Wouldn’t it be great for the planet if all our (USA) fruit was grown in Florida and California and all the Southern states instead of importing them from Mexico, Central and South America 🇺🇸
Lot's of plants have edible leaves ... anyway all of them have proteins , so i'm wondering what kind of research is she doing lol, why proteins?
Hello good garden
I tried doing a VERY small area in my yard natural and all I got was threatened with fines and liens against my House from Code enforcement of Indian River County. I Hate this place. No HOA either.
Which Part of Florida are you?
Wow! Love it!
wanderful garden!
I love when I hear others eating green mangoes! They really are so good and versatile and extend your mango season by so much!
Fantastic video
U used water or toilet paper
She’s awesome!
I think one of your trees look like a plum rose tree, you can look it up I know it is in China and South America
I would LOVE to volunteer in her farm for her to teach me permaculture
The tree she didn’t know what it was 46:07 was most likely a rose apple tree. There’s one at the college I work at
Does anyone know what plant she described as being like a chestnut? It sounded something like "achiric labra"
Pachira Aquatica (Malabar chestnut)
Trees from seeds are always better, unless you don't want to wait extra time, then you get the grafted ones.
True to seed means nothing, it's a lie.
How do you address noxious weeds like dollar weed
See you later.stay focused live by faith
guy doesnt seem to get it ..its permaculture dude lol
What plant is the one with curry leaves?
I need to marry this woman
My vote is a rose apple for the unknown tree😁
Mrs Pike is one BADASS CRACKER
I miss Florida so much...its Paradise.
The second Bido lets UnV'd Canadians back I'll be in Dunedin.
Shabbat shalom ❤🙏🏻
Beautiful property. Clever owners. You’re very tunnel visioned sadly and cannot see how everyone can do this large or small scale. Your comment at the end about only being able to grow commercially with a paddock and rows of trees demonstrates your narrow mind set and why the planet is in trouble. Food forests are the way of the future.
You seem to miss the point. If your goal is to grow crops for sale then permaculture is not the most effective way...but if you grow a natural diverse ecosystem, then this is the way to go... my approach would be the middlepath between producrivity and diversity
How about thanking him for the video instead of criticizing him like a Bitch
If your goal is for your family only this is great but if you are looking to grow food on a commercial sale level this isnt' the best way. I stick by my comment and it's not tunnel vision. It depends what your goal is.
Why should you ever use pesticides in a food forest lol .. it's a no brainer to avoid them.
😂
Not interested in living in Florida.
You have the attitude for it that's for sure. At least for the bad neighborhoods.
LOL, and yet here you are..
GOOD
Hey Shirley, go eat some yellow snow then.
@@Carlos1075 Well my first comment doesn't make sense to you because I was talking to the OP not you. And if you don't know what yellow snow is then 🤣.
