Superb looking papaya Jeff. I don't think that product is available here but then with our extra cold, wet and shorter daylight hours here I doubt if it would be a gamechanger 😉

God Bless very nice tree, How old is it?

Hi good afternoon. We are in same planting zone 10. Thank you for sharing your experience in growing the Avocado trees. I ordered Hass and Catalina from fast growing tree. They delivered last Thursday but both the tree are stressed, dry, sad looking one of the stem and branch broken. Should I even repot them or don’t waste my energy? I did sprayed on the dried leaves and watered once. Day time I leave both out in the sun but I’m not hopeful. Please advise me. I already am contact with the company and they plan to resend it when it is warmer. Thank you again.

great video. Where might you be able to purchase a pup in California? A friend tried to grow bananas in his green house in Northern California but they never produced fruit.

66👍Wow !! Great presentation, GOD BLESS YOU DEAR , HAVE A NICE TIME , Amazing dear pretty sister, very beautiful , wonderful coverage , greetings from HONG KONG @richscenic

Ugh, looking good, Jeff.. My yard was fine until we hit 28 degrees, followed by 29 the next day. Things were looking fine and now some of my stuff is looking rough.

At what point after winter do you resume watering / fertilizing?

I lost a few potted papaya plants during last winter over here in Australia just north of Sydney (Newcastle) in New South Wales due to torrential rain & the weather was also cold as well. I think that your papaya & other plants are doing well because you have a white brick wall which reflects the warmth onto the plants during dawn which is just after the coldest time of night. So, before the frost gets a chance to totally freeze the dew on the leaves, the heat which is reflected off the brick wall causes that frost to melt so the plants don't get killed by that frost. By next year I will start to plant them in the ground when I get my own property which will be on a sloping block which means that the water will drain away from the roots of the papaya plants. I know that someone in my area has a 4 metre or 13 foot tall papaya plant which does lose most of its leaves during winter time but they grew back during summer time & it's producing a lot of fruit. It was planted in the ground a bit over 2 years ago & they protected it with a bed sheet during winter time then, I am located in a subtropical zone 10b part of Australia which is similar to South Carolina or Georgia in the U.S. !

So, if I am not mistaken, the active ingredient in Monterrey Garden Phos is potassium phosphite? (also referred to as monopotassium phosphite). I need to get hold of some. With that being said, I am in the UK, which is a bit of a backward place. Probably difficult to get hold of over here, so I'd have to make it from scratch, using my chemistry skills.

I threw some papaya seeds from a Costco papaya in a cup and 20 days later, they GERMINATED. Any advice on how to keep the seedlings healthy? Also do you need more than 1 plant to get fruit?

Dang those papayas look great. I grew a bunch in various places and pots. The ones I left in the tree pots which are quite root bound are doing very well. I had transferred the biggest ones to 5g pots and most are dead or dying 😂. I think they must not be getting enough oxygen since the soil is staying wet 🤔.

Hey Jeff, How do you check the temperature of the soil?

You have bananas close to other fruit trees. Bananas normally are hungry eaters, more so than other fruit trees. What’s your fertilizer regimen like, One size fits all or each tree is tailored? Can you provide details.

Hi! My two 5’ banana trees just went through a 4 day freeze in Houston. The leaves are brown and crunchy. The stalk is kind of soft/ mushy. How much do i trim back and when? Thank you for any info 😊 Diane

Would you graft onto a mature avocado tree right now or wait for spring? I received my 2 Stuart scions today and was wondering if it would be safe to graft now. It feels like spring but I'm sure there will be more nighttime frosts or a freeze (near Red Bluff Ca zone 9B.) Thank you.

There’s a KZbinr subtropical gardener, he’s got a beautiful tropical garden in Southern California. He says his papayas have a foot smell. Do you think it’s from a fungus or maybe the soil?

Isn’t it true that the san joaquin valley is some of the most fertile soil. Apparently it used to be a large lake that dried up.

How much does the climate differ from Southern California? I think im in zone 9/10. It can get down to the 30s but never snows. Some frost on roofs occasionally, but the days usually tend to heat up to around 60-70 degrees. I am about 30-35 miles inland from the coast.

How protected is this tree from wind? I have a structure built around my two trees with frost cloth to block the wind, but eventually I'd like to take it off, and not keep expanding the structure as the tree grows. It gets a decent amount of wind where I have my trees and I understand this causes leaf curl for smaller leaves.

Hi Neighbor! I live in Turlock, California. Love your plumerias. Stood house sitting in florida for 3 weeks. My Uncles backyard is so tropical. He's always planting or cutting up plumerias to start another plant. I would love a cutting of your yellow/white plumeria! The one you said smells the best in another video. Let me know. Just a senior trying to stay a bit busy. Thank you Lola

Saw a huge one growing in a park in San Diego and picked some

Do you think after many years it will get root bound in the raised bed? Any concerns with that?

Hi Jeff we’re can I buy a mexicola avocado tree

How would the climate in Dunedin, New Zealand suite them? We have an 8month period of cold (16c - 10C) and about (14c - 6c) in mid winter while summer is about 23c - 17c. We don’t have great sunlight.

Hi...is it ok in cali now ? I ueard news that ca now burning wild fires.

Indiana grower here. Anyone you know having success keeping lychee indoors/patio plant? I've had good success with citrus, but ever since I've eaten a fresh lychee (honeymoon) I've wanted to own a lychee tree

Can I grow them in Melbourne? How do I grow them from seeds? Do I need to soak them or what?

Thanks for your knowledge. I live in deep south Texas area code 956. The only thing that grows down here is mesquite trees.

Your avocados fruits trees r so beautiful.

Hi Jeff, I'm considering moving my Sirprize to a sunny spot. Do you notice that it suffers more heat stress than others?

What did you graph the avocado tree onto?

Jeff brother, you remind me of Danny from the Partridge Family, ....am I the only one who's stated this to you? Peace.

Moved north from south Florida to up around Jacksonville. Miss the mango and avocado trees at my old house. This the thing to grow near the Georgia border?

How longe take time from starting to get big

The leaves of the my Avocado tree are partially burnt and its fruit is the size of a date and the bottom of the black fruit is the size of a round black dot and is slightly wide. Please advise and tell me what medicine I should buy from Home Depot.

I am in zone 7, they won't survive the winter outside.

Hi Jeff I have a lawn fertilizer, can I use on mango or avocado trees or any other fruit trees? It's a synthetic fertilizer and has all the NPK

Great video, Jeff. According to my thermometer, it reached a very chilly 7.4°C (18.7°F) last night! That's quite unusual even for my location. I used incandescent lights and wrapped my avocado and clementine trees in frost jackets. It seems like it was able to keep them above freezing underneath. Thankfully it looks like it should start to warm up by the start of next week🤞

Ima need to stop by. I’m from there 😂
