No, you’re definitely not alone. About 10 years ago I had a feeling I needed to get things together. I immediately decided if I couldn’t afford to pay cash, I couldn’t afford to have it. Wish I had learned about putting up nutritional items at that time.
I have an apple tree, but the company forgot to treated my apple tree this year plus the Acadia attack my apple 🍎 all my apple fell off, please helps, what can I use to keep the pest from my apples and pears tree?
From the Caribbean, i grow banana, plantain, avacado, sour sop, breadfruit, coconut, lots cassava, 4 different types of mangoes, orange, portugal, plus other fast growing foods, thats all planted on my 2 lots garden land, at home i have a herb garden rosemary, oregano, chives, basil, lemon grass, cilantro , pawpaw, peppetmint, i dry my herbs, vaccum seal and it stays good for yrs.We need to go back to planting, teaching our children survival skills, many youth today won't survive if grid goes down, loss of internet, scarcity of water, oh i lived thrpuh those days and they were the best day, ppl were moe ambatious, self sufficient and depended on God, today the evil man made system has robbed the world of thosr days. prepare for the worst. Ty sir for this informative vid..
Thank you for caring enough about others to continue to share these TRUTH videos. Also, have you ever noticed that when you go in the produce section of the store, there's LITERALLY no smell to the fruit or veggies, even so called health food stores?
…I wasn’t doing much this mornin. Just holdin n smellin my pineapple I bought from the farmers market 4 days ago, before work….I just read your comment & it clicked…wow yall
Moringa, Chaya Spinach trees. Doing well I have 5 ac in Southern AZ. I started with 5 different apple trees. They all died. 3 Plum trees. 2 died. Black berries all died. Raspberries all died. I won't give up. My Lemon started from seed doing well now in the ground 3 yrs old. Thank for your videos.
I live in Chicago and my folks in south had all the apple, pears, peach, and black walnut trees on they home place. I got a large vacant lot in the city with a garden full of purple hull peas, corn, collard greens, speckle lima beans, cabagge, kale, okra. I am gonna look into that Chicago fig as well as apples and peach trees. You are the real deal cuz. Appreciate you man.
I think a survival garden would need to have some medicinal herbs and plants like Calendula, Echinacea, Rosemary, Oregano. Just a mix of some edible flowers and plants like wild garlic/onions. I also think a papaya tree would be a must and just yesterday I bought two small ones but over here (the Netherlands) it's not possible to keep them outdoors the whole year. So I'm keeping them indoors under grow lights
Bruh, my wife told me, "If I bring home one my tree, you can take all your trees and leave." I'm putting this on you, the Orient pear tree 😅. Since following you, I've 40 fruit trees on less than 1/2 acre. All kept at 6ft to 7ft tall.
I wanted you to know that you inspired me to buy and plant my first fruit tree. I picked a dwarf mulberry which should like my zone. I also got 4 berry plants 😀 I hope we have food in a couple of years
I've collecting things I like to eat n planting them in my yard. Peach n pear tree n 7 diff kinds of apples. Green n purple n white asparagus. Grapes 🍇. Rhubarb. 5 blue berry bushes 1 honey berry bush n 1 albino berry bush. Ever bearing Strawberry 🍓 patch n everbearing red raspberry 😋 😍
I live on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The soil here is mostly sand. I've started composting, but winter is right around the corner. I thank you for all that you do for us gardeners😊
❤ I HAVE ALMOS 2 OF EACH ONE ON TOIR LIST. I AM TRYING TO ADD BLUEBERRY AND MULBERRY BUSHED. I AM TEXAS. MY GARDEN IS ONLY 6000 F AROUND MY OLD HOUSE AND I AM 63YO AND SOON PROBABLY MY GARDEN WON'T LET ME STARVING ❤ THX FOR UR VIDEOS❤
This video is great, thanks Lead! You always make incredibly helpful videos. I’m surprised you didn’t say pomegranates! They grow pretty well in our SC garden. Full of antioxidants.
Since I live in planting zone 10B, in my small yard, I grow Mangoes, Meyer Lemons, Oranges, Key Limes, Loquat, Avacado, Bananas, Kumquat, Lychee, and Moringa. Thanks for sharing and informing the people about this important information.
I got a deal on a black walnut tree and planted in my backyard before doing the research and finding out they were toxic to other plants (as mentioned in your video). I did some research and planted paw paw trees next to my black walnut. Paw paw trees are often found in nature under the canopy of black walnut trees. Just an FYI for anyone with black walnut trees that wants to add fruit trees near by.
My church is doing a community garden and I had suggested we include different fruit trees. Your video explained it perfectly why it would be a good addition. Thank you ❤
God bless you for this. Came across you today, God's perfect timing. Was thinking adding herbs to my greenhouse. Don't have much room, gotta make the most of it ❤
Wonderful video, I Love it!! I have blueberries, and those are still in containers and produce slow, but I'm grateful to have them. What a difference of taste with all my different berries, compared to those at the store. I don't but fruit from the big stores anymore. If I can't grow it, I'll drive up to a farm to get it. Thank you, again for a very considerate video, you're always looking out for us.💝💝💝💝
I'm growing all of those mentioned along with honey berries, dewberries, loganberry, boysenberry, kiwi berries and olives. Thanks for all you bring to this community🤗
The squirrels plant Black walnut trees around my fruit trees. If I don't get rid of them right away the young fruit trees die. Peach trees are iffy in KY. I get a harvest every few years but the trees do not live long. Apples and pears do great. Mulberry trees are plentiful...in my shrubs. I have a monster one that is a male and produces nothing, it must come down. I will try to transplant a few of the mulberry trees this fall. Nanking cherry bushes are also a great fruiting bush. They self seed rather well. Plums do well here. Remember to plant the trees so they do not shade the garden. Strawberries are good too. Have to cover them or the birds feast instead of you. GOD bless every one.
I took up growing fruit trees from seed when I retired. I started an orchard, gave hundreds of pairs of trees to friends, planted pairs on wild islands, and my earliest fruit was nectarine on year two, apples started on year 6, pears about the same, but this year, new first fruit included plum, apple, laden branches of pears, haskap berries too, good yield. I can't grow everything in my grow zone but I've tried it all, adding another orchard of 30 trees last week. They might not produce in my remaining lifetime
We have a couple cherry trees, a plum (produced for the first time since planting 3 years ago), Asian Pear or papple tree, a honey crisp apple, and a gala or granny smith apple. Our peach tree didn't make it, but next summer we have plans for a few more trees. Thank you for your knowledge. Prepare now. Thrive later.
Well you sold me on growing an apple tree. My favorite nut is an almond but I heard they take lots of water and here in California we are always on a water ration.
love love love your channel, you are on top of things with your list. In VA(harder to grow apples/plums/peaches or any stone fruit without spraying) ..but jujube/persimmon/figs are simply amazing, as you said loaded with fruit and you dont have to do a thing. I am trying your technique with citrus in the ground. Thank you!
Nuts- pecan, almonds, walnuts, macadamia, hazelnut. Apples, figs, peaches, apricots, mulberries, goji berries, citrus, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, pears. - pick everbearing. I would add tomatoes( pretty easy to grow), strawberries, and blueberries. My blueberries aren’t looking too hot but I’m going to try again. I’m trying to grow avocados🤞🏽 OooO and I’m trying cherries.
Spot on👍🏽 A reminder to those who are sitting on the sidelines. As I said before because of you I started my orchard of fruits I like to eat. I knew it would take some time for them to mature and produce. Remember Columnar Apples are great for small spaces 😊
great suggestions! in 208 i planted Professor Plum tree and Perfect Pear. i got 5 pears last year, and there are 4 this year. in 2020 i planted a dozen apple seeds in red solo cups with little hope or expectation just a thought that if i plant the seeds maybe some will grow, if i don't then i am guaranteed to have none grow so it was worth rhe dirt and time to plant a dozen apple seeds knowing it would be years before i would see an apple if ever, but if i didnt try there would be no apple so worth a ahot. now i have one 4 foot tall apple tree and one 3 foot tall ❤️ i also have a strawberry patch and blueberry bushes, and aome incredibly durable blackberry bushes . i also have Schwartzenberen berries wild in abundance and one elderberry tree in the woods 🎉❤❤
I had a food forest at my other home in Southern California. 62 in ground fruit trees. 10,000 sq ft in ground garden. 4 4X 8 garden boxes, herbs, grapes, and berries. Our PLUMS, NECTARINES, GUAVA, and PINE trees for the nuts did beautiful. I moved to Central Texas almost eight years ago after almost fifty-six years in Southern California.
Paw paw trees… they like shade to start with but I got my first fruit this year. Wonderful flavors. Wild plum trees… they grow themselves and produce well, but they will spread and spread.
I have 3 apple trees, tangerine, lemon, lime, plumblo, kumquat, juju bee tree, peach/plum combination tree and a pear tree. I'm in Phoenix area. I also have a small plum but it is struggling in this year's heat. I heard you can make tea with Juju bee tree. My tortoise loves the fruit that falls on the ground. We also have blackberries and grapes.
Thank you Lead, I've been busy making apple pie filling, apple sauce, crab apple jam and tomorrow I'll be processing tones of pears several varieties. The most exciting thing though is my Meyer lemon tree has fruit and I'll be picking my first lemon from it tomorrow and I can't wait. I keep planting, Father bless you x
I planted two thornless blackberries in the spring of 2023 and used T-posts and wires to trellis at the back of my lot. The berries are about 1-1/2 “ and delicious. They produced gallons this year and sent up runners that have been transplanted. The berries are easy to freeze and make yummy cobblers… Zone 7a
I just canned pears from a tree we bought 3 1:16 years ago! We also have a fig tree and 2 lemon trees. I always plant a huge fall garden with all kinds of green, cabbage, carrots and broccoli. People think I over plant, but, I can feed extra to the chickens!
Apples are so hard for me to grow. I’ve been trying since I was a kid. Blackberries grow wild in my neighborhood 🤩 aww man you forgot all the tropical fruit. It’s a must we grow them. Coconuts, sugar cane, Spanish limes, Barbados cherries, star fruit, sapadillies, ceraseed, the list goes on
Alot that you mentioned, I can't grow here, but plenty that I have or can. Started with 10 thornless blackberries and only fed them a few times in 10 yrs. Gave away so many starts, but still harvest at least 15-20 stuffed gallon bags a year now. I really appreciate your content!
Thanks lead I have peaches,blueberries,strawberries,figs,lemons,limes,pecans,elderberries,blackberries,raspberries, And I’m working on some others you’ve spoken about 🙏🏾
❤ When I bought this house a few months ago, the backyard perimeter was overgrown with a lot of vines and trees. There is also a seemingly man-made creek back there. For fear of invasive critters, I had to take a chainsaw to a lot of things, including berries. Now that I have started my own gardening process and getting used to living here (GA Zone 8B,) I have planted a peach tree and 2 figs. I also have a plum tree and that Asian Pear tree you spoke of, going into the ground soon 👍🏾
DEFINITELY mangoes (my favorite fruit), all types of peppers, herbs, bananas, kiwi, coconut, pineapples, mint, chamomile, garlic, etc.! I know that some of these won't work in some zones; but I sure would try them ALL! Basically, I would start with what I eat/cook the most and work my way to other fruits/veggies/herbs/spices! Thank you Uncle Lead 🙏🏾🤗🖤!
I been developing my new property... My last one, in town, I could walk around my property n nibble on stuff all the way around! Got a mini farm now and got my "orchard" area planted, garden beds, various berries, etc. Got my critters for meat n eggs... Great info! Keep encouraging folks to Grow Something, regardless how big or small an area they have!
Hey Uncle Lead 👋 I am growing everything you named in the ground and in pots . Besides the jujubee tree in my survival backyard garden by watching your channel in 2020, you told us to do this and this can be our retirement plan selling nuts and fruits that we grow ourselves, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom and survival skills with us, you are amazing 👏
I totally agree for your climate this tree list is great advise. I live in NW Oregon and this is my list. 1. Apple 2. Fig 3. Asian Pear. 4. Euro Pear, 5. Mulberry 6. Plum. Unfortunately, Peach, cherry, apricot and nectarines have lots of fungal and bacterial problems in our cool moist climate.
We have a mild winter but we have the highest amount of chill hours in the US. My favorite tree is figs but it's hard to ripen here. We have to grow breba producers like Desert King or earliest main crop figs like Ronde de Bordeaux. I do have an apricot, peach, nectarine, pluot and pluerry but those are more experiments that I'm not going to rely on. We had a late frost that killed most the flowers on my pluot. Then a bacteria infected the damage and then permanently defoliated the bottom 1/3 the tree. I still got a dozen fruit but I'm not sure I'm going to fuss with this tree if it does that again.
Hi. I love your videos. I lived in Skull Valley AZ on an old homestead. The land owner pointed out how the black walnuts didn't have much use but also made the ground toxic so nothing else would grow around it. That was the fist time I lived in that type of landscape where black walnuts cover that landscape and grow with the mesquite❤
Lead, you are totally correct about the Black walnut tree and trees near it. Black walnuts produce a chemical called (Juglone), which occurs naturally in all parts of the tree, especially in the buds, nut hulls, and roots. The leaves and stems contain smaller quantities of juglone, which is leached into the soil after they fall. Apple trees are very susceptible to these trees, but Paw Paw trees will thrive with Black walnuts. Thank you for what you do.
With this list,I know I'm doing something right, and I'm even growing tropicals in containers that I tote back and forth at the change of season here in Zone 6B. My nut trees are hickory & acorn😂they're edible & abundant and free. Thanks for sharing this. Guava💚
I must not be the only one. I had such a strong drive out of nowhere to collect emergency Produce seeds and planting herbs and sweet potatoes.
Cow peas are an easy one, too. You can plant the dried peas from the grocery store and they will grow like crazy.
No, you’re definitely not alone. About 10 years ago I had a feeling I needed to get things together. I immediately decided if I couldn’t afford to pay cash, I couldn’t afford to have it. Wish I had learned about putting up nutritional items at that time.
Me too! Taking cuttings and collecting seeds!
I heard God say, get your house in order a couple years ago. I’m not only gathering seeds but making soaps and etc. 🌱
I have an apple tree, but the company forgot to treated my apple tree this year plus the Acadia attack my apple 🍎 all my apple fell off, please helps, what can I use to keep the pest from my apples and pears tree?
From the Caribbean, i grow banana, plantain, avacado, sour sop, breadfruit, coconut, lots cassava, 4 different types of mangoes, orange, portugal, plus other fast growing foods, thats all planted on my 2 lots garden land, at home i have a herb garden rosemary, oregano, chives, basil, lemon grass, cilantro , pawpaw, peppetmint, i dry my herbs, vaccum seal and it stays good for yrs.We need to go back to planting, teaching our children survival skills, many youth today won't survive if grid goes down, loss of internet, scarcity of water, oh i lived thrpuh those days and they were the best day, ppl were moe ambatious, self sufficient and depended on God, today the evil man made system has robbed the world of thosr days.
prepare for the worst. Ty sir for this informative vid..
Yeah mon 👏🏾! I hear ya.just good old times as well 😊
What xone are you in?
Totally awesome message/ education. Thank you
Yes, those are staples on my plot, too.
I'm putting in some of these that Lead Farmer mentioned, too.
My son lives in St. Croix. I visit him occasionally. He always says if you go hungry on St. Croix, it's your own damn fault.
Thank you for caring enough about others to continue to share these TRUTH videos. Also, have you ever noticed that when you go in the produce section of the store, there's LITERALLY no smell to the fruit or veggies, even so called health food stores?
Good point😮
You're right!!!!!
Woah
Great observation that's FACTS
…I wasn’t doing much this mornin. Just holdin n smellin my pineapple I bought from the farmers market 4 days ago, before work….I just read your comment & it clicked…wow yall
Im showing this to my family so they can understand how real its getting
Moringa, Chaya Spinach trees. Doing well
I have 5 ac in Southern AZ. I started with 5 different apple trees. They all died.
3 Plum trees. 2 died.
Black berries all died.
Raspberries all died.
I won't give up.
My Lemon started from seed doing well now in the ground 3 yrs old.
Thank for your videos.
I live in Chicago and my folks in south had all the apple, pears, peach, and black walnut trees on they home place. I got a large vacant lot in the city with a garden full of purple hull peas, corn, collard greens, speckle lima beans, cabagge, kale, okra. I am gonna look into that Chicago fig as well as apples and peach trees. You are the real deal cuz. Appreciate you man.
Thank you Obastan
I would also add strawberries and blueberries to the survival list 😊
Very true I accidentally left Blueberries off of my list. That one is one the top of my list.
I rate Rhubarb as it wil grow for over 20 years.
And Honeyberries
I think a survival garden would need to have some medicinal herbs and plants like Calendula, Echinacea, Rosemary, Oregano. Just a mix of some edible flowers and plants like wild garlic/onions. I also think a papaya tree would be a must and just yesterday I bought two small ones but over here (the Netherlands) it's not possible to keep them outdoors the whole year. So I'm keeping them indoors under grow lights
Where do u live cause not everything will survive in NY
Could you share your grow lights?
@@kerrywilliams9162 in Europe, the Netherlands
@@AA-yc3cc It's a LED standing tripod lamp. I have noticed the houseplants love it and perk up, some even flower earlier are more vibrant so to say
@@kerrywilliams9162
same here in Illinois
Garlic,onions,olives,ginger,tumeric,herbs
May the Lord Bless you for helping to get people ready for what is coming.
Facts, I absolutely need an Apple tree 🌳
Sweet Potatoes❤! And Romaine Lettuce❤! Collard Greens❤!
Appreciation and Respect.
I just saw the Chilli dog technique. Wow respect. God bless you
I would love to see a walk around of your container garden please
Thank you so much we all need to return back to basic. Eating off the land. It worked for them tried and true. Continue to be blessed
You are so welcome
Bruh, my wife told me, "If I bring home one my tree, you can take all your trees and leave." I'm putting this on you, the Orient pear tree 😅.
Since following you, I've 40 fruit trees on less than 1/2 acre. All kept at 6ft to 7ft tall.
😂😂😂😂 you better watch your back brotha! She don’t sound like she’s playing!😂
Your wife will thank you later. 😂
Keep it going 👍🏽
@@TrenasJourney thank you. She helps out when she can.
@leadfarmer73 she's a sweetie, but I'm mindful. Tree is on the way.
She won't really appreciate it until SHTF. When it happens she will know you to be the genius you are.
Good advice 👍
This is the whole point of my garden. Self reliance
And many of the fruit trees you mentioned would be excellent for making baby food which is very critical 😊
Awesome info! We have figs, tangerines, pecan tree, fig tree, kumquat😊, bananas, grape vine but I see we got work to do. 😊
I wanted you to know that you inspired me to buy and plant my first fruit tree. I picked a dwarf mulberry which should like my zone. I also got 4 berry plants 😀 I hope we have food in a couple of years

This video is great, thanks Lead! You always make incredibly helpful videos. I’m surprised you didn’t say pomegranates! They grow pretty well in our SC garden. Full of antioxidants.
Even if they don't eat all the tree they can grow they can swap fruit with other people
Very very true!🫡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
♥️ Beautiful Blessings
Unc, you and your wife the reason I started an amazing garden when you spoke about this a while back.

Wow, now you're making me wonder what happened to the laterns at my parents house. Thank you for the info
I live in Illinois and my son planted a apple tree we had apples this year I also have a a lemon tree in a container and I have my first lemon

Nuts- pecan, almonds, walnuts, macadamia, hazelnut.
Apples, figs, peaches, apricots, mulberries, goji berries, citrus, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, pears. - pick everbearing.
I would add tomatoes( pretty easy to grow), strawberries, and blueberries. My blueberries aren’t looking too hot but I’m going to try again. I’m trying to grow avocados🤞🏽 OooO and I’m trying cherries.
Spot on👍🏽 A reminder to those who are sitting on the sidelines.

I knew it would take some time for them to mature and produce.
Remember Columnar Apples are great for small spaces 😊
Those mulberries are fun to juice and then add a carbonated water or even 7Up. yum!
You have a great voice an̈d attitude. ❤
The Guava tree is a good tree to have; the bark, leaf and fruit all have medicinal benefits. Thanks for the list Lead! Get Ready & Stay Ready Folks!
Great list. I would add a moringa tree and an Elderberry tree to the list.
great suggestions! in 208 i planted Professor Plum tree and Perfect Pear. i got 5 pears last year, and there are 4 this year. in 2020 i planted a dozen apple seeds in red solo cups with little hope or expectation just a thought that if i plant the seeds maybe some will grow, if i don't then i am guaranteed to have none grow so it was worth rhe dirt and time to plant a dozen apple seeds knowing it would be years before i would see an apple if ever, but if i didnt try there would be no apple so worth a ahot.
now i have one 4 foot tall apple tree and one 3 foot tall ❤️ i also have a strawberry patch and blueberry bushes, and aome incredibly durable blackberry bushes . i also have Schwartzenberen berries wild in abundance and one elderberry tree in the woods 🎉❤❤
I had a food forest at my other home in Southern California. 62 in ground fruit trees. 10,000 sq ft in ground garden. 4 4X 8 garden boxes, herbs, grapes, and berries. Our PLUMS, NECTARINES, GUAVA, and PINE trees for the nuts did beautiful.
I moved to Central Texas almost eight years ago after almost fifty-six years in Southern California.

Thank you so much!
Yes, I annually have to trim back my persimmon and have to share the fruit each year. Thanks so much for the list 🙌🏽🌹
Paw paw trees… they like shade to start with but I got my first fruit this year. Wonderful flavors. Wild plum trees… they grow themselves and produce well, but they will spread and spread.

Where do you purchase all your trees and bushes and plants from for fruit??
No body talking about this where I’m living. ✌🏾❤️🙏🏾Thank you
❤ When I bought this house a few months ago, the backyard perimeter was overgrown with a lot of vines and trees. There is also a seemingly man-made creek back there. For fear of invasive critters, I had to take a chainsaw to a lot of things, including berries. Now that I have started my own gardening process and getting used to living here (GA Zone 8B,) I have planted a peach tree and 2 figs. I also have a plum tree and that Asian Pear tree you spoke of, going into the ground soon 👍🏾
DEFINITELY mangoes (my favorite fruit), all types of peppers, herbs, bananas, kiwi, coconut, pineapples, mint, chamomile, garlic, etc.!
I know that some of these won't work in some zones; but I sure would try them ALL! Basically, I would start with what I eat/cook the most and work my way to other fruits/veggies/herbs/spices!
Thank you Uncle Lead 🙏🏾🤗🖤!
I been developing my new property... My last one, in town, I could walk around my property n nibble on stuff all the way around! Got a mini farm now and got my "orchard" area planted, garden beds, various berries, etc.
Got my critters for meat n eggs...
Great info! Keep encouraging folks to Grow Something, regardless how big or small an area they have!

Say hello to Lady Lead🥰

Hey Uncle Lead 👋 I am growing everything you named in the ground and in pots . Besides the jujubee tree in my survival backyard garden by watching your channel in 2020, you told us to do this and this can be our retirement plan selling nuts and fruits that we grow ourselves,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom and survival skills with us, you are amazing 👏
🫡👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫡
That’s awesome 👏🏾
Amen brutha. Taking this to heart and growing these trees, asap. Thank you. 🙏
I leave upstate we get a lot snow but I plant pears and peaches I’ll tried fig thanks
I totally agree for your climate this tree list is great advise. I live in NW Oregon and this is my list. 1. Apple 2. Fig 3. Asian Pear. 4. Euro Pear, 5. Mulberry 6. Plum. Unfortunately, Peach, cherry, apricot and nectarines have lots of fungal and bacterial problems in our cool moist climate.
We have a mild winter but we have the highest amount of chill hours in the US. My favorite tree is figs but it's hard to ripen here. We have to grow breba producers like Desert King or earliest main crop figs like Ronde de Bordeaux. I do have an apricot, peach, nectarine, pluot and pluerry but those are more experiments that I'm not going to rely on. We had a late frost that killed most the flowers on my pluot. Then a bacteria infected the damage and then permanently defoliated the bottom 1/3 the tree. I still got a dozen fruit but I'm not sure I'm going to fuss with this tree if it does that again.
Mulberries are so so good
Mine is in containers and produces loads
Hi. I love your videos. I lived in Skull Valley AZ on an old homestead. The land owner pointed out how the black walnuts didn't have much use but also made the ground toxic so nothing else would grow around it. That was the fist time I lived in that type of landscape where black walnuts cover that landscape and grow with the mesquite❤
I ALSO GROW PASSION VINE THAT I JUST PLA TED ONCE AND I HAVE FRUIT ANDLEAVES FOR MY TEA EVERY YEAR❤❤
Elderberry... I learned how to propagate mine last winter to share and add to my own thanks to your video on the topic
Lead, you are totally correct about the Black walnut tree and trees near it. Black walnuts produce a chemical called (Juglone), which occurs naturally in all parts of the tree, especially in the buds, nut hulls, and roots. The leaves and stems contain smaller quantities of juglone, which is leached into the soil after they fall. Apple trees are very susceptible to these trees, but Paw Paw trees will thrive with Black walnuts. Thank you for what you do.
Thank You Uncle Lead :)
You are very welcome😊
Wow, black walnut... Had no idea. I have a 3 year old on a fence line. We will see what happens . Ah HAH! Light bulb just went off!! Thanks Lead!
With this list,I know I'm doing something right, and I'm even growing tropicals in containers that I tote back and forth at the change of season here in Zone 6B.
My nut trees are hickory & acorn😂they're edible & abundant and free.
Thanks for sharing this. Guava💚
You are such a good speaker.
Love the fruit trees 🌳
