Greeting from Brazil! Jaboticaba is definitely one the best fruits we have around here =) you know, a lot of these Myrtaceae are pretty well adapted to a few days of cold actually. They’re very common in central and south brazil, where it’s normal to have a few super cold days in winter. 24 degrees is right on the limit though =) but being understory plants, definitely the big trees around them help a lot in their wellbeing. Thanks for the video and cheers!
I live in Kissimmee and one tree I did not expect to live during that same winter was my soursop tree. It lost all its leaves but survived. It is now ten feet tall and only two years old from a cutting.
Thanks so much for these types of insights, totally envious of your tall canopy trees! Love all of your videos and I really hope more people convert to this method of gardening, fantastic you’ve turned this into a solid business too.
Wow that's awesome! Thanks for sharing your success with tropical fruits with us! I hope these trees are Hardy and naturalize. 🍋🍌🍍🍊🍑🍉🍎🍒🍓🍓🍇🍇🍅🌶🍄🍋🍌🍍🍊🍑🍉🍎🍒🍓🍏🍏🍐🍇🍇🍅🌽🌭🍔🍄🍄🌶🍅🍇🍇🍐🍈🍓🍒🍎🍎🍎🍉🍑🍑🍊🍊🍍🍌🍋🍑🍅
I lived in Hawaii for 6 years and miss the tropical fruit. I currently live in East Texas in growing zone 8b, but will be moving to the Philippines next year.
I think it's really helped planting tree close together to protect each other. There's definitely a connection there. Who knows what roots are doing, maybe one tree gives nutrients to a tree next to it to help it survive. Goodluck with the macadamia. I'm planted some nuts hoping for some more macadamias. I totally neglect mine and it's done well.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL howdy....XD. my husband was tickled to learn we could grow star fruit and macadamia nut here.... Had to re-watch the videos because he was talking over it.
Don´tbe surprised by the survival of these trees, especially the Brazilian ones. These plants come from Mata Atlantica, a tropical forest, truly, but that has zones of reasonable altitude where temperatures near, or even below zero, might occur. My family home (in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro) has jaboticabas and temperatures there can be near zero many times during winter. If frosts are not persistent, your trees will survive.
Something else that's also surprisingly cold resistant is longan and lychee trees. I had two small trees that survived around 27 degrees for at least three hours. I'm sure at a mature size, they could survive the lower 20's. It's nice that they don't have to be as protected, because they won't fruit at all if they don't get 6+ hours of direct sunlight.
Awesome new Video :D thanks for the daily updates. One day Jaboticaba, you will be mine too. Next up tho is Chilean Guava or also called Strawberry Myrtle. They are supposed to taste like Strawberry/Minty/Floraly/Tropical Skittlez
I have a macadamia nut tree here in Lakeland as well. It now about 10' tall. Not sure on variety. I had bought it at fruitscapes in fort Myers two years ago. I wonder if Beaumont is a very common variety here in Florida. I have a couple of Jabos that I bought from you two years ago. They are in ground and it has been a struggle to keep pretty dark green leaves on them. I have now heard and seen them in pots doing great a few times. I probably won't uproot mine for pots but will try and put some more effort into them and see if I can get those leaves to green up better without burnt edges especially on the red variety which seems even more finacky than the black. Do you know any pro tips for these trees in ground?
Hey Cory! Yes, probably the same variety, most of mine came from Fruitscapes too. The Jabo’s can be temperamental and like acidic soils. They can also get chlorotic and have trouble up taking nutrients. I would try a chelated iron drench or foliar application. They also like water but require well draining soils.
I've heard that plants near a bigger tree can be up to 5 degrees warmer, and have experienced similar results with no damage in N. Idaho setting next to big trees. How many inches of wood chip mulch did you have down in the areas that surprised you? Love your exotics!
@ Lore Brown Like a micro climate using one tree instead of landscaping and multiple plants. That's pretty cool ☺ :: edit :: I know white pines can absorb a bit of heat when the sun is out.
We have really enjoyed your videos! Our family lives in Brevard County. (Palm Bay) Slowly but surely, we are just starting to build up our edible landscape. Just received our first Ice cream Banana tree from fast growing trees. I have a HUGE metal roofed shed out back, that I'd love to have covered with something fast growing, vined, and preferably some sort of fruit. Any suggestions? This shed is located in where we raise chickens. Thanks! The Mercado family
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Wow! Sounds awesome. Huh! Never even heard of seminole pumpkins. Are they something that will give blooms all the time? What does it taste like or the cheyotes?
It’s a summer time tropical pumpkin very similar to a squash, it grows well in the summer and the male flowers are edible. The chayote is also squash like and might even be perennial, you need a fruit to start them.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL I have one in the ground on the sheltered side of the house about 30 miles north of you in Dunnellon. Zone 10a extended very far north this year. I don’t think temps dropped below 30 as far north as Gainesville.
I live in a 26 acre condo complex in St. Pete., Fl. There's about a 4 acre wooded area in the middle that was choked with Brazilian Pepper ( probably Florida's worst invasive) when I first moved there in 2006. There were plenty of oaks and palms (that the Pepper trees were doing their best to strangle) and a decent sized pond in the middle so I knew the potential of the area and that it desperately needed help. Unfortunately so many people living in Florida are from away and don't realize what Brazilian Pepper is and how it's choking out so many of Florida's native plants, they just see green and to most people, green is good. It took some doing, but I convinced the condo board to let me start rescuing the area. Twenty two 30 cubic yard dumpters, a lot of mulching, and 4 year laters, me and a few volunteers have cleared about half the area. I'm in the Florida Native Plant Society and committed to planting the area with nothing but natives. There's about a 3 acre area off to the side choked with invasives that nobody thinks anything about. I gotta say, being the head of the landscape committee and having carte blanche, it's awfully tempting to do some permaculture and do a little of what you're doing. I'm gonna have to shoot up to Spring Hill and check out your operation. I gotta say though, I see some of your trees in this video with pothos all the way to the top. That's a class 1 invasive in Florida and awfully hard to eradicate. I'll be interested to talk to you in person and hear your take on pothos et al.
Wow! Good for you. I’m not a fan of Brazilian pepper either. The pothos gets set back or froze to the ground every winter. I haven’t noticed any negative effects with it growing up the Oaks
That macadamia nut is my favorite nut. My mom has 4 acres of Chinese walnut farm. I'd like to plant this macadamia nut trees to surprise her, when she comes to visit us. Pete, do you have macadamia young trees for sell? How long does it take to bear fruit? Thanks ! 👍
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Thanks for reply!...interesting. I have grown Orinoco Bananas to fruit but not to harvest and avocados are pushing it when they are young but I'd LOVE to add a mango or three, the nearest one I know of (and only one) is San Francisco area, I'm inland lowlands farther North. We rarely get into the mid to high 20's briefly but that kills a lot of tropical stuff of course.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Wow! We were supposed to be at that show. First time seeing your video. Loving what we are seeing! We are new to Florida. We want to start planting a garden looking forward to learning from you
Someone mentioned below, but they have these all over Itapúa, Paraguay in the Atlantic rainforest. We have winters that will drop below freezing a week or so and these guys do well. Especially the yva puru (plinia cauliflora).
So happy I found your channel😁 We may be moving to your area (Citrus Hills). Will be visiting in May and I was searching gardening channel's to see what I can grow in that zone. Macadamia nuts and mangos, oh my!!!
I miss Jaboticaba fruit 😢 that’s tree is abundant on south Brazil (where I’m from) and can survive at cold temperatures because south Brazil is really cold in the winter
Amazing I’m in Durant and we never had below 36 degF someone I know in Tampa said it never got below 40degF , I left my potted coconut palms out all winter.
My brother had a cherry tree I don’t no the name it looked kind of like u no pumpkin like the shape of it tasted like a cherry but way sweeter do u no the name of it
Come down to Cali. Everybody and his brother is growing and propagating Mac's here. Finally it caught up with average backyard gardener that Mac are well adapted to Cal climate and produce most sweetest nuts out of all regions of US. Local rodents plant them Macs everywhere. Drive by my neighborhood pick up seedlings and you would get a dozen of free Mac's. They get to 5 feet by fall. Seedlings start to produce nuts in 3rd year. young mac with less than half of inch trunk will die back to the ground at 29F and will send a dozen of shoots in spring.
Man I could use varieties of Mac nut! I’d like ones adapted to Florida but can’t find them. It’s typically pretty tough to get plants out of Cali right?
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFLI think you can find a good selection down south on the West coast. Arkin or Dana White are SoFL selections of Macs Macs are fairly adaptable. Like one you grow that was selected in California but does well in FL as well. Does it produce crop year around for you? I dont think it is tough to get plants out of Cal. Cal's DA is more paranoid about what you bring into the state. I've been trying to import more cold tolerant durian from Malaysia for a while. They confiscated every single plant that I ordered. I am still wondering how many tropical pests and diseases survived for more than a year in Cal's climate. Citrus greening didnt last long out here. I guess they got more paranoid after people blamed DA for letting ankle biter mosquitos into the state. ;)
i am not familiar with macadamia nuts growing in any part of florida. i've read that it is grown as an 'alternative crop' in florida. so i guess that means in extreme so. florida macadamia nut trees won't survive?
The trees do great here in Florida from Central Florida south. The leader in Mac nuts here was in Labelle and unfortunately he died a few years ago. I think a lot of the rare varieties and knowledge went with him :(
Gonna try them in a pot, sounds fun, I have two that are only 3 feet tall, but I love them too...that was a brutal winter last year, we got down to 32 in Lake Placid, freaked me out since I was newly starting my forest, but the bananas in the understory fared way better than the ones in the open...talk about deflated...
Milkweed Dreams nice! Most of my specimen Jaboticaba’s are kept in pots. I’m gonna push a Soursop this year, it can come in my house if it gets too cold :)
I just picked my Jobaticaba!!! Mine survived...2/3. But I think one died not due to the freeze but overcrowding. I have pics on my Instagram homewithtina, love your channel! We're in the same zone!
I almost got the Brazilian grape seeds from Hawaii. Chickened out. I'm an hour north of you. I cart enough trees into the greenhouse already. But this last winter my banana survived. And the Brazilian cherries. They all usually die to the ground and come back. Maybe this year I can get some fruit.
Pete does rock. That is surprising. Love my grumi...but waiting for it to fruit here...doesn't seem to be touched by fungi like other tropicals that occasionally get wet leaves
This was an attempt at being funny. Yes I know, "stick to my day job". But I do understand building soil is the utmost importance. I will be taking Dr. Elaine Ingham's courses!
I had a bunch of live oaks and maples on my property but we had to get rid of them cause they were too close to the house noq theres no shade at all, will that affect my citrus trees, one of them is infected by greening, we got it from Canterbury farms
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL its usually the camera , could be a number of things you could have had a bright light in frame to long like a laser or sun or your sensor could be going due to age. It shouldnt be a problem tho as it usually doesnt affect the other pixels in the camera sensor . But thanks for responding i wish i saw your videos when i was in tampa me and my fiancee woulda loved to look for wild fruit. Next time we come down im gonna make sure to keep you in mind ! Some info on dead pixels photographylife.com/dead-vs-stuck-vs-hot-pixels
I don't really think that's that amazing but I don't know the limitations of those trees, if it had been 24 or 48 hours maybe it would have been a big deal. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Sorry, forgot to change that last remark to the farm account.
What type of bush/plant is that behind to your left at 0:39 seconds it looks like some sort of coffee bean plant?
That is a really cool find. Probably the canopies of the other trees protected them during the winter. That is why they survived.
Those bananas’ green leaves are great too, surviving 24 degrees
True. Can’t forget about the bananas:)

have you tried growing Achachairu in your area?
I’m a little far north, my friends south of the bay grow it. Great fruit!

What are the soil requirements for a Jaboticaba?
Rice Panday they like it acidic and prefer a ph of 5.5. We use lots of peat moss and perlite in our mix and they seem to do great.

Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL Am I wrong but I though Florida rains made our soil acidic? You would know better then me though.
@@TheChenny73 only in wet areas around trees. Even then If you have a lot of shell or lime rock it will be very alkaline.

I know this winter was super mild! Who knows what next year will bring.
Grumixama is one of my favorite fruits, it's really unknown here, but delicious. We pronounce it something like this /groo.me.sean.mah/.
America needs more growers, we have so much land compared to our population too, that is the way to expand genetic and bio diversity.
Aron seriously! Farmer isn’t even on the census anymore .
Pete does rock. That is surprising. Love my grumi...but waiting for it to fruit here...doesn't seem to be touched by fungi like other tropicals that occasionally get wet leaves

Wouldn't it be pound sand in Florida?
Nathan Rotar depends how much mulch
Nathan Rotar technically it should be “pound soil” but that just sounds cheesy. Yes, we typically have very sandy soils, but we’re building soil👊
This was an attempt at being funny. Yes I know, "stick to my day job". But I do understand building soil is the utmost importance. I will be taking Dr. Elaine Ingham's courses!
I’d wrap them in bubble wrap like i do the banana plants

Hello! Please email us @ GreenDreamsfl@yahoo.com thank you!
Jaboticabas are so delicious.
The right pronunciation is zhah-boo-tchee-caba.
They’re my favorite!
👍👍👍
I live in spring hill
Howdy neighbor!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I'll make sure to keep a close watch on all your videos now
I had a bunch of live oaks and maples on my property but we had to get rid of them cause they were too close to the house noq theres no shade at all, will that affect my citrus trees, one of them is infected by greening, we got it from Canterbury farms
You have a dead pixel on your camera lol but like your vids !
j l really?! How does that happen? Is that in the lens or camera? Geez I knew I had focus problems
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL its usually the camera , could be a number of things you could have had a bright light in frame to long like a laser or sun or your sensor could be going due to age. It shouldnt be a problem tho as it usually doesnt affect the other pixels in the camera sensor . But thanks for responding i wish i saw your videos when i was in tampa me and my fiancee woulda loved to look for wild fruit. Next time we come down im gonna make sure to keep you in mind !
Some info on dead pixels

Dude!
I don't really think that's that amazing but I don't know the limitations of those trees, if it had been 24 or 48 hours maybe it would have been a big deal. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
The point of the video is that the rules can be bent but not too much.
Echo has them and cashews!!
I love ECHO! 🙌
Remember I’m two hours north of Echo, climate wise it’s like much different.
True!!
Pete, its always gonna be your fault, you better get used too it. No more personal accountability any more. Its always gotta be someone elses fault
A couple of this babies around the farm with heating elements will keep the farm safe during a cold front. ruclips.net/video/FpTUwxjj87M/видео.html
I want a tree grape Soo bad, but I live in Ohio.. don't think it would fruit if I kept it at 3 feet in a pot
Ryan S most all of my fruiting jaboticaba’s are kept in a pots. It could become a Christmas tree in the winter 🎄 😉
The only reason i don't have jabotababra is because it takes around 8 years to fruit
Josh Cc600 I saw two nice ones today about 8’ tall in pots for 58.00$ each I’m picking them up Friday I’ll give them a try
Josh Cc600 you can buy more mature trees. It’s definitely worth the wait...
dlhvac1 8 foot tall? That’s insane cheap if so...
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL I don’t know I’ve never purchased them before are they self fertile that’s why I was getting two I don’t know
They had a foot of new flush on both of them they looked extremely healthy
Love your videos but sometimes the filming makes me a little sea sick.
Does the camera move too quick?
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I'm not sure. Are you using a stabilizer? Not using one is usually what does this to me.
mango took -4.4c god dam mango
Yup!
Uau beautiful yaboticaba. O yea men
