As per research articles, it is documented that tap root can go till 20ft deep or more with such effective tap root system gives protection for drought resistance, cyclone protection and also self sustaining capabilities to be able look for water and nutritional needs in the absence of rain or manual irrigation and manual intervention for application of fertilization needs and this will increase longevity of the plants and also increase the commercial yield as well. However in grafts, the tap root is always coiled due to long presence in such a small pouches and if planted as is, then the plant depends entirely only on lateral root system and the coiled root won't go further and remain coiled or truncated. That means such grafts without tap root and only lateral roots will depend for fertilizer and water and nutritional needs only on the superficial top layer of the soil and in the absence of these, it will lead to lower yield, lower age (shorter life), susceptible to cyclones and droughts. To overcome this, in India experts advise to plant directly a seed (or one one both sides of the graft) adjacent to the grafted plants while planting at a space of 4 inches or 6 inches and later once the seedling plants attain a suitable thickness to be able to graft, they choose the best seedlings (or choose both on each sides) and do approach grafting to the coiled graft. This gives option to exchange the coiled root to an healthy tap root of the seedlings, since the seed is directly planted, it goes deeper and deeper without any root coiling phenomenon along with lateral roots as necessary. Once the grafting union is set and hardened, either all three roots can be left as is for the plant only to automatically choose the dominant tap root system on its own, or induce a mild wound in the root which is weaker (for example the original coiled root of the graft) at three or more different iterations such that the plant automatically tried to choose the other dominant root system and shed the weaker one. Once this is completed one can cut the weaker root altogether as well or leave it as a secondary root system.

Planted a year ago, and now getting weeds. Didn’t mulch, didn’t see your video until after I planted. Pulling them by hand is getting out of control. What weed and feed can I use on peanut?

white pyri usually has white meat inside as well not yellow..seems that breed of mango is no more available.. i remember eating white pyri with white meat (juicy part) during my childhood days..now not able to find such mangoes..

Great banana! down in miami I planted one in June already had it flower and about to harvest already so maybe it's the dirt you used. I did use an organic flowering fertalizer called fox farm big bloom it's mostly worm casing juice( smells like 🤢)

My mom just gave me one..I never seen it before..Thanks for the review 😊I will let it ripen

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🤜🇹🇹🇹🇹

Awesome! Do you sell scions as I need P22 scions.

I feed the forage cultivar to my horses. Have done so for many years. I get it direct from the farm and the farmers use this as their ground cover at home. After all, who has time for mowing grass when you’re too busy working the fields 😂. It is a pretty and practical way to maintain your lawn. I wouldn’t mind covering my lawn in perennial peanut.

We have a Lychee tree which is more than 20 years old already and still not bearing any fruit not even a single flower. 🥲

How do you keep your lychee tree so small ?

You two never taste test a mango that is perfectly ripe. It's not fair to judge a mango based on being over ripe. It's really not fair to the mango. Please do better.

Great video. Thanks

How did you guys make out from the storm? I hope y'all are fine, just busy cleaning up.

Why didn't you airlayer that big branch and get another mango tree?

Great video

❤❤❤

The water soluble fertilizer is a big tip.

Lots of variables with mangos. Picked to soon? Rain? Not ripe enough. Im growing this tree and think Ill leave it in the pot till after I taste it. Thanks

Why did he not push the wedge all the way in? Why is it better to do it that way? How did the graft do?

Just got me a SES2 nice big fruit thank you for the video

Thank you for your video. Our issue is that the trunk doesn't seem to grow bigger. And seeing you climb on that small tree was just great. Hope we can do the same with ours. How do we make our mango root and grow its trunk? Thank you.

Is the fruit sweet like rambutan

I’d like to know how much the tree gets cut back.

Sooo, if I only had room for one more mango tree, Kesar or Super Alphonso?

update ?

Where can I get Avri loquat tree? Do you ever sell scions?

My thoughts and prayers for you guys from Miami! Stay safe! Blessings!

Are you not concerned about the air potato vine growing on the mango tree?

We’re in the east coast, supposed to come over us as a Cat 1. Praying for you and everyone in the affected areas. Stay safe.

Stay safe.We made our donation to the Hurricane. Our prayers for Florida resident 🙏from Paso Robles CA.

Just south of you guys in Nokomis. We left our house to go to the southeast coast on Monday, because we have a toddler now, but I have family in the area. Praying for everyone to stay safe there. Hope you make it through okay!

hunker down

🙏🏽

I'm surprised that you are staying. I pray that you and your family are safe. The storm surge is going to be really high.

*storm just turned & the eye is headed directly for SARASOTA, plus it's back at a Category #5, 165mph winds*

Praying for you! Hope the best for you guys.

Thanks for an update! Please stay safe! Hopefully there will be just a minimal or no damage, to your beautiful garden, as well as ours! We’re in Palm Harbor, FL, located 5 miles from the Gulf.

Good luck! We're staying too in Tarpon Springs 1.5 miles from the Gulf. Prayers for an uneventful hit.

Thanks for posting. Was curious how you and Craig were doing.

Take care. Hoping the best for your gang.

Bombay seedling

Nice! Cheap and quick.

What is the summer temparature in florida

Opinion of: Imam Pasand Mango?

*There is now a Super Glenn. But not available for 3 of 4 years. It will be available through Steve of Sleepy Lizard Avocado Farm. He acquired the Glenn cross from a customer*

*(Tess Pollock) a (Carry x Turpentine) cross is supposed to be very flavorful with minimal fiber. Slightly larger than Carry & stores better. From Alex at Tropical Acres. His new cultivar.*

I’ve never had the Indian jujube but I grow the Li and Lang varieties in N W Arkansas. This is Zone 6 and can get down to -10*F. The trees are prolific. They are sweet and crunchy but I think that the sugars concentrate and the fruit is at it’s best dried. I process the fruit by piercing with a fork and then simmering in a pot for 15 minutes. I add some lemon juice and allow the fruit to cool in the covered pot overnight. I pit the fruit and dehydrate. Delightful as a date substitute.

Thank you for this video!

Can this thriving in zone 8?

Hi did you have a tree for sale ? The king jujube
