I think it’s a Tangelo. The longer it stays on the tree the sweeter it gets, even the peel gets edible. I pick at the end of January.

I had freeze burn on my avocado in 9b Georgia so it was helpful to know you just leave the damage until spring I crunched the leaves flushes that were dry and sprinkled into the mulch mound below
@TouchGrassGardening 19 күн бұрын
Avocado leaves make great mulch! Sometimes the freeze burn can look the same as old growth dying off, but really as long as the trunk is undamaged your tree should be fine. Certain varieties of avocado are cold hardy, and some can't take even below 32F. Lots of variance in avocado varieties for hardiness, which is different than say, mango.

Winter Mexican variety not in ground even a year and was halved by hurricane Helene from 9’ to around 4-5’. The Mexican Pancho I have is handling the high twenties a little better, but the WM had all new branches and flushes since it was violently halved by 140+ mph winds so I remain hopeful

Definitely. If I had planted it myself from scratch I probably wouldn't have a lawn, but bermuda is very hard to get rid of once it's established (especially in a large yard). I'll probably just stick with it... and the family likes it.

I’m in a similar situation with flood and bermuda, just thinking through ways to not have landscapers and not mow. I don’t know if the no mow options work with flood- I might just slowly introduce something more enjoyable like st Augustine. Kind of random. Anyway digging the content! Thanks for all you do
@TouchGrassGardening 23 күн бұрын
@@jacobhamblin1911 Thanks for saying that, I appreciate comments like these more than can be expressed. As for flood and bermuda, it gets harder as your forest grows because there are patchy areas that don't get the 4+ hours of sun necessary for bermuda to grow and it gets harder to mow as you have to evade more trees. I actually have a friend who started with St. Augustine plugs under his mature trees, and it has almost completely taken over his previously planted bermuda now. It looks great, and is green year round. Still have to mow though, so it's more or less similar maintenance. Just nice that the yard has a consistent look with the grass -- takes 3+ years to achieve this though. A future project I have on my long list.

The last two specially are supper strong trees that will survive winters easier and if you get it a microclimate until stablished you will have forever mangoes.

I would make sure it dries out a bit to not let the roots rot. This plant is very cold and drought tolerant. Depending on where you are (if you are in 9b / Phoenix like me), I'd just water every 4-5 days in winter now that you have it planted. My established plants I water once a week in winter.

Excellent advice! I’m in the “High Desert” (Hesperia, CA). I’m new to the desert, but want to start planting fruits and vegetables. I’m particularly interested in trying to coax Avocados into growing in my yard. I’m thinking of adding misters to help keep them cool and watered. Any thoughts on this hair-brained scheme?
@TouchGrassGardening 2 ай бұрын
In theory it makes sense, but in practice it is difficult. Because our water here is so salty/poor most misters will coat your tree in a white salt layer (not good for it). If you have a really good filtration system, it can work, but even then, the tree grows a couple feet each year so you'll have to keep adjusting your system and adding height to it. I think you can grow avocado trees without a misting system :)

It depends so much on your local environment and the exact conditions you've seen the past few winters. If you're not sure, leave a thermometer outside where you want to plant trees this winter that tracks temperatures, and see what the lowest you see is. If it's below 30F you will have to protect your trees with a heat source (the cacao tree will need heat at 45F). Hope this helps.

I live in Phoenix and can't believe my luck in finding this video. I never find information for both location and plant type at the same time! I have a 16-year-old multi trunk Brazilian Pepper tree that died this summer and was wondering if the ground shoots could be cultivated into a new tree. I wish I could post pictures. I have some shoots coming out of the 12" trunk about 18" up but I'll take your advice and let everything grow for a while before favoring the shoots coming out a couple of feet from the original trunk. I honestly think I killed it by back washing my pool there but it never seemed to be bothered by it before this year. I'm on the fence about cutting the tree down because I've been hoping to see some new growth once the temps cool down, but also wonder if the tree is losing growth energy by not cutting it down.
@TouchGrassGardening 2 ай бұрын

Ok, question for the OP and people in comments, not trying to hit on OP, I'm sure he is taken. But I want to ask here and maybe under some other similar videos. Where do men like this go? I would love to find a guy thats into this lifestyle as much as I am and I'm having zero luck. I date but would be so much nicer to be with someone with this same passion. I have been to homestead festivals, taken beekeeping classes, joined garden groups, etc. The issue is the guys there are either already taken or are much older than me. So open to any other tips or advice from other fellow gardeners/homesteaders, orchard farmers. Thanks in advance ☺️
@TouchGrassGardening 3 ай бұрын
I think you're right that most guys into gardening tend to be more settled and therefore older. My view is that you don't need to find someone with the same hobbies as you, but rather you should ensure you find someone who is open to spending time with you doing the things you enjoy simply because you enjoy them (and vice versa). For instance, before I met my wife I had never planted anything in my life, but she got me interested in gardening during the pandemic and then I ran with it!
@BeeWildHomestead 3 ай бұрын
@TouchGrassGardening ok, thank you! I have yet to find someone like that yet. I've always had to hide my hobbies, do them alone, or wait until I'm out of the relationship to really enjoy them. The search continues! Thanks for responding and providing some advice based on your experience 😊
