I loved watching you and mom shop. She is a treasure and so many people don't realize how much it means to them to do the simple things with their kids. Did you see any LIME trees anywhere? I can't seem to find one thats already grown a bit and I am not having much luck finding seeds either!
Hi, I guessed both nurseries. JRN #2 is located at: 11701 Alief Clodine Rd. Houston, TX 77072. Actually on the Alief end and an extension of Harwin Drive. Another large Vietnamese nursery is Joseph's Nursery near Bailey Rd & Masters Rd on the S. side of Pearland. They grow a lot of plants sold by the Hong Kong Mkt chain and Viet Hoa Mkt. I'm ten years older than Mother Lai and grow mostly citrus and peppers and herbs. Arthritis keeps me from growing many veggies anymore.
I grew both the red and green Malabar last year, the red seemed to love heat more than the green. The more I cut, the more it grew, I grew mines in a grow bag and it did well. I live closer to the JNR on the Southwest side.
We must be Texas neighbors. I was at the JRN nursery myself about 3 weeks ago. I went specifically for a grafted 3 in 1 asian pear tree and found this nursery thru Bob Wilson's nursery website. JRN gets lots of their fruit trees from Bob Wilson nurseries. I also ended up buying a Li jujube tree and a ponderosa lemon tree. They had lots I wanted but limited myself to those 3. It was fun to see you and your mom there. Enjoyed the video.
I went to the Nature's Grower (Thai) nursery yesterday hopping to get some Thai basel. But they only had large green houses filled with non vegies like jasmine and soursop. I bought a papaya about 4 ft tall to replace my delicious one which was brought by a bird and grew all by itself between my torocco blood orange and my large Chandler Pomelo. The polar vortex last year killed the Chandler and the papaya because they were too large to protect. The Torocco, though not especially cold hardy compared to most citrus, survived and set several fruit this year. My plan is to keep the papaya potted this winter and plant it next March when hard freeze danger is past.
Carefully consider your Malabar spinach placement. My husband cut it off in the middle of a south Texas summer, the cut portion lived, flowered and fruited for a month unattached to the vine. It seeded heavily and seemed it may become invasive. Let us know what you think of it and if we should give growing it another chance.
A long time ago that was the only case, but growers have developed some that have both flowers on the same tree. Birds dropped such a seed in my citrus grove and it made very good friut until the freeze in Feb. 2021. You can tell by the female flowers being attached to the beginning of a fruit, like a cucumber or squash is.
Thank you for sharing.
I am having so much fun with you guys at both nurseries!
Your mom is very cool and cute mama.
Your Mama Lai is so sweet 💚💚💚
Thank you.
I'm taking your itinerary! This sounds like the perfect day. Thank you!
I love JRN but HATE the parking and space to move around, but we suck it up don't we! LOL! So fun!!!
I love both nurseries so much! You can get pretty much anything you want from them if you go at the right time of year
I love JRN. Nice folks over there. Nice plants.

JRN had lime trees when we visited. Thank you for watching. She's a lot of fun to shop with.

I am in Corpus Christi! My daughter lives in Houston! I’ll have to make a trip up there!
Well worth it.

Thank you for watching neighbor. I'm about 1 1/2 hrs from the nurseries. After we move, I DEFINITELY know where I'm getting my fruit trees & bushes.
JRN on Breen st is my happy place!! Great vid

Next time you’re down near Houston, you should gram some castings from Magic Worm Ranch.
Didn't even know about this place. Thank you.

Did y'all eat it?
Did you find the tree basil at the Thai OR Vietnamese nursery?
At the Thai nursery. Nature's Grower Nursery.
Is it true that there are male and female papaya plants and how can you tell
That's what I've heard. But I'll have to do more research, since I'm new at growing papaya.
A long time ago that was the only case, but growers have developed some that have both flowers on the same tree. Birds dropped such a seed in my citrus grove and it made very good friut until the freeze in Feb. 2021.

Du du literally translate to papaya.
Thank you. I figured it might have been the variety type, since there are some many out there.
