- The video showcases three fruits ideal for growing in backyard orchards around the world: Carmine gomi, Gerardi mulberry, and Alpine strawberries. The Carmine gomi is described as tasting like wine and is enjoyed by also chewing on its sunflower seed-like pit, while Alpine strawberries melt in the mouth like chocolate with an intense fragrance superior to other strawberries. Gerardi mulberries are highlighted for their dwarf growth habit, high productivity, and delicious, sweet taste, comparable to top-tasting mulberry varieties.

Thanks for sharing. I just planted a Dwarf ever bearing mulberry tree. I hope to get as much fruit as yours.
I just ordered two Carmine/Tillamook bushes from Whitman Farms in Oregon. On their website, it’s just listed as Eleagnus multiflora (Eleagnus multiflora), but if you call and talk with Ms. Whitman, she says that Carmine and Tillamook are the same variety and will send it out to you. The shipping is a little steep but the pictures of the bushes she sells posted on forms are large and well packed. You have to order by phone.
Fig boss. I live in missouri. Zone 6b. I grow passion fruits in pots and get great success. You should get some passion fruit vines. Beautiful flowers too.
Awesome video ross i like seeing the garden
I just started growing white soul this year! Super punped for when they profuce 👌
Goumi is popping off bid time this year. Tillamook goumi is amazing. I am going to try to propagate it big time.
I believe Tillamook may be another name for the Carmine variety.
I would add, Haskaps! I gave up on blueberries, then discovered the Haskap/Honeyberry. I have clay soil, they don't care. I have wet soil, they don't care. They are the no-fuss fruit. Set it and forget it until harvest in May/June.
Haskaps/Honeyberries are great if you have chalky/alkaline/high-PH soil, since that is what they like, while blueberries require an acidic/low-PH soil. But Ross has a low PH soil in his yard, blueberries grow very well for him without much effort, as he has shown with videos in the past. So for him the right choice to grow are blueberries. It is about PH that dictates which of these two plants does well for you. It sounds like you have alkaline/chalky soil.
Plant your blueberry in peat moss and that will solve your pH problem.
@@ageofempiresriseofrome3666 It's not always that easy. Partly because rainworms will dissolve the peat moss over time and mix it with our native chalky loam and also because we don't get enough rain for blueberries, so I have to water the plants. And since we don't have a rain collection system, we have a garden hose connected to our tap. We have very hard tap water and no decalcyfing system, so if I water the blueberries with that, I'm watering them with chalky water, which will instantly neutralize the whole Rhododendron peat potting mix I planted them in. Been there, done that. And if I don't water them, they also don't grow or fruit due to drought stress. The alternative is to just plant Haskaps/Honeyberries, which like our soil and our tap water and grow and produce with no problem ;)
Haskaps are doing very well for me and I live in an area that blueberries typically do well in. I just like how resilient haskaps are and how easy they are in comparison.
@@XoroksComment gotcha. I will probably have that issue as well with the peat moss which loses their pH value as soon as you plant it. Sulfur pellets or powder will acidify your soil, which needs to be broken down by the microbes in your soil. This is the best way to acidify the soil.
Interesting video,mulberry white ,red&black ,crimson all verities ended in the first week of May bcoz unexpected heat started from 2nd week of May now June it’s hell like temperatures almost backing.Watering trees three time a day ,my crimson grape ripening along with figs ,hoping for monsoon rains to arrive with it temperature lowered &real fruiting of figs started here.
Have you ever considered Feijoa? I'm in zone 7B VA and mine are doing wonders. About as cold hardy as figs. Beautiful in every way; evergreen with silvery leaves, very manageable myrtle-like shrub, gorgeous edible flowers followed by unique tasty fruit that it bigger than one might expect, given the size of the plant. Self-fertile varieties exist. Zero pest pressure.
Last year i left a few gerardi dwarf mulberries to dry on the tree the flavour and sweetness was out of this world.
My Jostaberry are ripening right now also! Collegeville Pa
I'm trying to start a second batch of Alpine Strawberry seeds just now. The Strawberry Store (seed place) is apparently closing at the end of the season, so I picked up Yellow Wonder (which is available everywhere), White Sole and Pineapple Crush. The Yellow Wonders germinated and are slowly growing no problem. The other two varieties I think the seeds got washed away, so I'm starting them again. I gave up on regular red strawberries. They get completely destroyed by animals. Both the plants (rabbits) and the fruit (basically anything with a mouth).
I've still never tried Goumis. I would want to plant the giant berry variety, but it's always sold out. I've had some local, feral Autumn Olives which weren't great, but would make OK jam probably.
My neighbor has a bunch of giant trees that shade out most of my yard. The mulberry tree was the only one she had that does anything useful (we got to eat lots of berries), so it's the one she got rid of.
Try Burnt Ridge Nursery for the goumi
Great video; I have been wondering about the Alpine strawberries, and I want a dwarf type mulberry, as my yard is only approx 1/4 acre. I hadn't heard about the other tree with fruit that tasts like wine. Thank you so much for showing these possibly lesser known fruit trees. 👍🤠
I can relate to the crazy fruit person laugh, enjoy brother!
by the way, I got some small geradi, but have established illinois everbearing, super berry black, beautiful day (white, which is underrated), and others. What a good year also due to no late frost, mulberries kept their flowers.
Do you have a video for best fruit trees in shade?
Could you share the links to buy these three trees?
Great video Ross! Where did you get the Carmine Goumi? I really would like get a couple? How many plants are we looking at here? How many do i need?
Anybody have a source for the goumi?
My strawberries taste like water with hint if flavour. So far 3kg of them who are mainly tasteless:/. I did fertilize them with chicken pellets at at the end of april... im looking forward to my raspberries and blueberries
Check for varieties and maybe don’t water too much or let dry a bit for a few days before harvest or a week but mostly check for variety. Mangoes also have watery varieties and avocados as well as full flavored tastier ones so it happens in many plants . Tomatoes too. Check the variety
@@xaviercruz4763 i never water them because the soil is always moist
Where can you buy the seeds or cuttings for these plants?
These are all readily available almost everywhere. Any online nursery. The alpines are started from seed. I recommend pineapple crush
How is your CHE tree? I have like 30 berries on mine this year in South Jersey like 40 minutes from you.
I bought seeds for White Soul, have a couple of baby plants. Will see how they go.
How do you not have trouble with birds eating everything?
I bought two packs this spring at Ross' suggestion. Have already transplanted many outside after starting them from seed indoors. Can't speak to the pest pressure as none have fruit and probably won't this year. The only thing interesting of note so far for anyone else looking to grow from seed is that putting the seeds in the freezer for a few weeks really helped with sprouting. The first pack I planted I didn't do that in my haste to have them ready and it took forever for them to sprout and the success rate was low.
Do you grow any cornelian cherry? There are some fans, but it is hard to tell if they are worth it if you have limited space relative to other things you can grow. They are astringent if not picked at just the right time, and it is hard to tell if the flavor is just ok or delicious. Of course, your milage will vary. I've tried to get a couple trees but they were sold out two years ago. This year One Green World just cancelled all orders in April due to supplier issues.
They are ripe when they fall of the tree and are softer than a tomato and dark red (unless you have a yellow variety). Do not pick them, if you plan on eating them fresh (for processing it's okay, depending on the amount of sourness you want). You can shake the tree with a tarp/cloth underneath to collect the fruit and you can leave the fruit on the counter for a day or so to ripen further. They have no astringency when fully ripe. Get an improved, large-fruited variety. The best are Polish and Ukrainian cultivars (such as Szafer, Swietłana, Wydubieckij, etc) which are sometimes sold under English synonyms in the US (e.g. Pioneer). To me they taste pasty, tomatoey and fruity. I like to eat them fresh. If you like Goumi, you'll probably like Cornelian cherries (so long as you eat them when they are actually ripe - think of Persimmons as comparison).
*Carmine GOUMI*
I have just one 3 year old white alpine strawberry plant I found growing in a gravel parking lot and the fruits taste like Jolley ranchers they don't send out suckers like normal strawberries so Im trying to grow them from seed this year from old fruit since I want more.
the seed may not be genetically stable, could have hybridized with wild fragaria virginica. I would get fresh seed, baker creek carries them.
Gummy bear? Really? I think gummy bears are mayby 40 years old. These have been aound for centuries.... maybe the asians hsd a different origin for the name? ;)
Wineberry is already taken! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_phoenicolasius
I cannot find the carmine gomi or gomi berry when I search on Google. Are you sure they're not goji berries?
Tillamook goumi is basically the same. You can get them at one green world.
They are completely different from goji. They are also too astringent for me and are highly invasive. We call them autumn olives in the US.
