    I love that you and your son share the same enthusiasm for all your plants! My dad used to try to involve me with gardening, and while I fought it at first, I eventually found love for it. 😅 Now we share it in common, and we buy each other fruit trees 🌳 🍊 🍋

    Also, this kid is going to grow up to do great things with the knowledge you’re passing along. I remember always going to a buddies house in highschool where him and his dad grew so many plants, he started a landscaping business after highschool and is probably one of the most successful people I know from school.
    Keep it up guys! Killer property

    Try putting a piece of rotting fruit or fruit scrap under the sugar apple to encourage flies for pollination. The flowers are too small for bees to pollinate.

    I love your plants! My banana plants are struggling to fruit due to the cold season. Where is zone 10a? I'm also from FLORIDA. I pruned my moringa trees last winter that's why they are now bushy.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  3 месяца назад +1

      Some of Florida's barrier islands (from central Florida down) are zone 10a, as well as much of south Florida, which gets to 10b in the southern reaches. Though USDA just updated there zones to include much more of Florida (even up to Polk and Osceola counties) in zone 10a, I can tell you for a fact more tropical plants like coconut palms, lychees, etc will not make it through most winters in there areas...

    You have quite the collection! How often do you have to go through to trim and clean up the plants for new growth? I am just north of you, coastal Volusia Co, so I enjoy seeing what is able to thrive in our climate.

    • @IslandsnHighlands
      @IslandsnHighlands  3 месяца назад +1

      While we like to work in the garden as often as possible, we have found one big day a month is sufficient to keep everything looking good (of course this does not count mowing the lawn, picking up palm fronds, etc which has to be done weekly or even more often). You should be able to grow almost everything we can, especially if you are coastal...

    Just curious, when were you all able to get this property? It also looks like a multi-family property as well. Haven't seen anything like it unless it's common to the area. Pretty huge in general and being central coast in Florida it's perfect for gardening.
