I'm so glad to have found this video, I planted a goumi a couple months ago and had never really heard of them before. Just did it because I had a hillside that was ugly and I hate mowing 😂
I got 3 goumi bushes in my new food forest and a silverberry in another semi-food forest area. Just added them last winter but I'm already getting fruit from the goumi bushes.
Love this. My neighbor (who shares both my dream of permaculture, but also some of her produce, with me) has a goumi berry in the strip between our properties and it’s just last fall she put it in. But it’s already growing bright red berries. 😊👍
We have Goumi bushes in our greenhouse in Montana. Since seeds are edible but fibrous, I tried blending the whole fruit and making fruit leather. Big hot at the garden potluck. First thing to disappear! Grow! Grow! Grow Goumi!
I love your energy and vibe!! Tuck is so cute you are so good with him. I love your videos. It’s so cute how much Tuck loves his carrots😁. It’s great how you let him in the garden(forest) and don’t freak out when he eats something. Cuz we both know there is lots more and it’s no big deal. I’m also so happy you’re a fellow Christian!!! I always feel so good after watching your videos!!! I plan to get a t-shirt soon. Thank you for your great videos! Love to sweet Tuck sending him a 🥕.
James, do you know where we can but cuttings? Buying a home with property in zone 9 so I can grow organic to fight stage 4a colon cancer naturally. Hey there Tuck!! I just adore watching dogs who appreciate good from the garden. It is awesome to watch
I like the natural environment u have most beautiful natural fruit I doing my forest it be fun to get all this wisdom start teaching others it important to help mother Earth thank u for sharing ya wisdom!
I bought some seed from ebay, put them in the fridge for a few months and have had about 80% success rate germinating. Probably would be better to get them as small plants, but when it is rare not always easy to get :-) (Live in Norway, zone 7)
Always recommend these to my clients as they not only produce tasty fruit, but are also (as you mentioned) nitrogen fixers. Thanks for posting another informative and awesome vid, James!!
I planted a gumi berry last year along with my honey berries and goji berry, apple, pawpaw, jujube and fig tree little by little Im taking the front lawn over!
My boy tuck! I had trouble getting carrot seeds to sprout in my slightly clay base soil... I used your board trick and nearly all of them sprouted! I gotta fin like crazy now lol loving the channel man keep it up!
Tuck is a cutie. I dont watch for him though (dont tell him that. My dog likes blackberries and its just so cute to watch her pick them. Shes a big dog, so watching her croutch down and delicately pick them is a treat. He is a great little mascot though. Such a good boy.
Love your channel buddy. I'm planning a few acres of food forest but I'm going to do it in segments. I have a lot of area cleared. It used to be an orchard in the past. Your style and energy is giving me a lot of motivation to get proactive. I've researched enough and now need to take more assertive action! Also how bout something non edible to add. I was thinking Northern Bayberry would be nice. Then you can make pure bayberry wax candles from the berries. Sea buckthorne is another good one. I have some and they are like a nice lemon vitamin c pop. I mash them in with avocado in place of lime juice for an exotic guac. Maypop passion fruit vines should grow in your zone pretty nice. You should check out Oikos Tree Crops if you have never purchased anything from them.
Always appreciate the information shared with so many plants...I enjoy this channel, very much, and have been binge watching it for a while....Good Job to the creator, I hope he knows how much he is appreciated and how much he is helping struggling gardeners, such as myself....Many thanks :)
I first tried goumi berries in Korea when my landlord gave me a big bowl of them. They are amazing... They have a huge pectin content, so they make a great base for jams. And when you can't get cranberries, they are an amazing substitute for cranberry jelly. But my favorite use? Put them in a mason jar, cover them with vodka and put them in the refrigerator for a few months. Pop a handful in a shaker with ice, shake hell put of them with more vodka, and make a wicked martini with them.
The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni I haven’t had them yet but I’m picking my plant up this weekend!!!!! How funny is that!! Everyone here raves about them and the jelly made from them though. They’re big here but as you say not sold in stores, most of the good stuff isn’t (like mayhaw!) Excited to grow one though. Never heard of them until I moved here.
Thanks for this tip. Really never found it in a supermarket. Another great tip is "Cucumis metuliferus", which is still pretty unknown. Grows like a monster and brings lots of fruits.
I know those things were edible!!!! 😀. I see lots of them here in Florida. I keept looking at them thinking to myself how delicious those little fruit things might be; I'm going to try it.😆
OMG the garden looks absolutely gorgeous! So grateful to be seeing your garden progress and inspire as I start growing my own plants in large containers, until I find the perfect spot to put them in the ground! :D
Looks kinda like a Gogi berry used to have. Gogi berry have some gnarly thorns which I didn't know when I bought them, and the Gogi is also known as a wolf berry in California at least. Thanks James as always you are awesome.
How about growing some passion fruit? Possum purple should grow where you are with no problems. It also has very exotic flowers on this quick growing vine.
This is very similar to the invasive Elaeagnus umbellata, the Autumn Olive species (noxious bush with late August berries) that grows all over the eastern U.S. You can still eat the berries though and they are very similar and high in lycopene. The species you speak of Elaeagnus multiflora (goumi) could likely be grafted onto the invasive species for more productive delicious varieties for this bush.
Mr James! I would love it if you and Tuck started selling seeds. (Persimmons, all those rare berries your growing, peaches, apples ect.) I'd rather buy it from a reputable RUclips Gardner then some big cooperation.
I enjoyed your video, I've never heard of that fruit before and I'm really looking forward to finding it. I'm in Arkansas USA I suppose it grows here too?
Do you have a video on how exactly you grow your grapes central leader? I planted my first couple grapes this year and I'm looking to grow them like you are but I'm not quite sure exactly how you do it...
Same here and I have looked tirelessly there are videos on more mature grapes but not starting out as you thicken your initial trunk/central leader. Mine is less than a pencil thickness and I have heard it must be thicker so I’m not sure if I let it go and prune it in winter and over time it will thicken or what.
While out of place for this video, I was wondering if you had any experience with covering young perennials with chips. I've got a fair amount of lupine and chives that are in their first year and I fear they would not win the race against the weeds if I left them uncovered in spring, but just how much chip can they go through?
@@showmedmonys I've just started growing figs for about 2 weeks (hope they'll survive, I'm very new to fig!) but never have any olive tree before in my life
I want to turn my garden into a berry forest. I don't have the patience for most vegetables and fruit trees. Too many pests. So far I have many berries and I am slowly replacing my vegetable space with berries. 🙂🙂👍👍
@@jamesprigioni it's funny how your one dog is calm and docile yet tuck I ready to scratch through the gate and run all over. Yin and yang energy pups ha
Thanks for sharring. I have been looking into buying this plant. Actually several of them, would you mind sharring your source? Were do you think is a good place to buy them? Thnak you
Plant 2. The amount of berries you have on that bush is sad. I have 2 bushes and the plants produce so many berries you can't even begin to pick them all.
Slugs were hitting my young peppers this year. I heard slugs don't like moving over sand so I put a pile of sand around my peppers and now the slugs have stayed off them!
John Doe yes, slugs get cut and die when travelling over grit. Crushed egg shells also work. Just wondering what James uses, but appreciate your reply.
A friend of a neighbor managed to grow Figs in Montreal, QC (uses an arch approach). Huge hay protection in the winter but, the thing produces fruit in QC. Going to test it out myself. Have you tried yourself?
Oh yeah I live in mid-Michigan and last year I planted several figs which I cut the stems down near the ground in late fall, I piled on a simple pile of leaves to insulate with a square of burlap to hold down the leaves and it worked beautifully every fig survived and are growing out beautifully now, all you have to do is protect the roots since figs fruit on new growth the new shoots popping up will produce fruit. If you want to propogate the figs too like I did in early fall I took a pot cut it in half to fit around any of the fig stems, filled it with dirt and figs quickly rooted into the pot which I cut from the plant to make new plants. Especially since I'd be cutting the fig branches down anyway it's a method to multiply the figs before the branches fully die back with the cold. So I propogated and have a nice fig patch going I love it. And I did the same with a hardy pomegranate survived the winter and we had a cold winter so everything is looking up!
@@JohnDoe_88 oh wow! Really appreciate the info. 🥰 Was going for the use of Hay here to insulate and if it survives this winter, I'm totally going to try your method to propegate. Merci beaucoup! And pomegranates? Wowza!!

My favorite video with Tuck was when he was pulling carrots and eating them. So cute!
Okay so suuuuper random, but I really like the way he talks. Intonation pattern is unique and find it strangely relaxing.👌🏼
I planted 5 of these in my orchard last fall, they haven’t fruited yet but the plants are huge and I love the way they look too!

Hey James! Is your knowledge of plants and gardening self taught? You've become very knowledgable over the years!
Thanks Justin! Yup, if you consider reading a lot of books self taught :)
Grow a Pindo Palm its a cold hardy Palm that can take temps as low as 20 degrees and it has edible jelly fruits!
I know those things were edible!!!! 😀. I see lots of them here in Florida. I keept looking at them thinking to myself how delicious those little fruit things might be; I'm going to try it.😆
Love your garden. It's a lot larger than mine but having dwarf trees help.
Thank you so much for the valuable information of your channel

Awe!! She sounds like she’s a sweet girl 🐕❤️
i luv tuck. my little dog baby died last year from ringtail rattlesnake bite. could not save her. tuck reminds me of her. i miss her all the time.
When you said you have to hop the fence I just imagine you going to your neighbors yard and filming the bush without them knowing you're there. 😂

Do they require a second variety for pollination?
Very interesting video, and tell Tuck I said hello.
Thanks Ceaser! Will do my friend 👍🏻😁
