Very happy to see Lao guy is finacially stable in USA. Proud of you guy .xoxox from Australia

[@zuloonyennyoc8914]

He is from Laos but he must be Chinese descendent because his English is much much better than the most Laotian who live in the US.

[@haybale_gaming]

@@zuloonyennyoc8914 he might of moved to the us when very young

[@zuloonyennyoc8914]

@@haybale_gaming You probably right but I am sure he must be Chinese Lao 100%.😄😄

​@@zuloonyennyoc8914he's well educated. He must be from Vientiane, Laos

[@Phetsbackyardgarden]

I am in Northern CA and it is very hard to grow tropical fruit. Even growing lemon grass is a struggle. The only thing that does well here are succulents and persimmons

[@gregdeharris1019]

First of I like your beard. Billy has a great ideal making use of his space, beautiful yard, his dad taught him well. In the future he will feed his family and also Profit off the fruits. Keep giving us great Videos.

[@jackieb6393]

I am a Vietnamese living in TX, pleased to meet you, a Laotian who is a neighbor of Vietnam. Your garden in Florida is so beautiful! I see a lot of mango trees 😀

[@PuttieNice1]

I'm stooping by for some papaya salad Ai lol

[@huotlor255]

Very interesting because i came from Cambodia, Kiew Savoy ( Svay Keo in Cambodian) and Svay means Mango. Another plant with spiky trunk no one know the name in Southern California, they call Kapok (from chinese word), Kapok is the fruit and the plant call Kapokier (french writing).

[@carlosmante]

The name is Ceiba (Ceiba petandra) a tree native to Mexico and is a tree sacred to the Maya people.

[@tuyetvo4353]

Florida hot and humid - like Viet Nam / Lao …. You can plant all kind fruits trees. S. Calif cold in winter 45-50 degrees ….

[@tuyetvo4353]

Big land . Big yard.

Nice garden. where is this located?

[@hersheythao]

Uncle you are blessed! Why no chickens? Lol

[@AngieTagett_RchstrMI]

Your trees are growing slow because the grass is competing with the tree. You need to smother the grass around the tree about 2 feet radius with double cardboard and mulch. Cheers from California.

Some of fruit trees could be from Latin America regions.

[@seanla879]

Squirrels and Raccoons knows better not to trespass Billy's yard. Especially when he has a lot of Lemongrass, Kaffir leaves, and Galanga roots laying around. These three ingredients are great with wild games. 😂😂😂😂

[@j-deezy321]

The raccoons will be there as soon as he starts getting fruit ha ha

[@sureshchiatar9641]

How can I reach the host of this show? I have 20+ fruit trees on a 1/4 acre lot; lots are fruiting.

I want some fresh fruits😉 I pay for delivery

[@RussilaLeki]

Sir, God has blessed you and your family with a big land to plant your variety of fruits, veges and coconuts some from your native country and around Florida.

[@jhost0311]

I was just in Laos 🇱🇦. Such a beautiful country full of great people. I love how pretty much everyone in that part of the world grows tons of fruit trees. They never lost the knowledge to grow your own food.

[@micahramsay8890]

In Trinidad the yellow coconut is called Chinese Coconut tree.

[@Phetsbackyardgarden]

you are correct about growing our own foods. I have small yard with limited space, but is trying to make the best use of the space I have.

[@TommyPhonesa-xy5mr]

And food is good

[@wilrosabrown8218]

​@@micahramsay8890❤

[@juanadame126]

in the Philippines the yellow coconut is called golden coconut and the sugar apple is Chico..

[@krissos6742]

I wished the camera person went up close on each of the plant so we can see and enjoy each one of them closer since we are unable to be there in person, otherwise great video! Congratulations and great job brother 😀

[@mwnemo]

Awesome video, I actually would of liked if Billy said the names he knows them as from Laos. That would of been cool to hear.

[@haivhmoob9644]

Billy, you are living in heaven. With so many varieties of fruit trees in your garden, you don't want to depart to another planet.

[@GraftingTactick]

Love your tropical fruits show and tell. You must feel like home away from home. So many varieties.

[@enickasmith4223]

That was an amazing yard. ❤ Thanks for sharing.

[@pcoleyrobb383]

The small seeded fruit is called susumba or gully bean .It is grown wild in Jamaica,in backyards and abandoned lands and gully areas (gully beans ).

[@donnagrant8403]

The leaves can be boiled for Ava’s coldadding lemon and honey for taste

[@mannieduangphachanh7225]

Wow! Love his house back yard and all the fruits trees he grew!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@1mw4tch1ng]

Mango from the Philippines is known to be the best and sweetest in the world shape like what he has (teardrop shape). The best ones are from the Visayas region (IloIlo).

[@savanna1518]

I ❤ his yard, very spacious, got full potential,,, Asian fruits tree are my go to. I hope one day I can move to south Florida.

[@Kdatoh3]

Baby bamboo tastes similar asparagus- to me!

[@lorenbush8876]

It looks like he has a nice yard , size and all. I can't believe that whole clump of bamboo just lifted up like that.

[@conniefry3321]

Sabaidee 🙏 I'm also from Laos, and it's my first watching your video. Those tropical fruit trees look very interesting, and I would love to visit his garden.

[@sirinoraidahabdulmanaf7926]

Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾. Just an advice.. do not plant any papaya trees near a drain bcos the roots re strong and hard, it might break yr drains.

[@robertthanasouk8781]

Hello Uncle from Laos in South Florida. I'm Laotian from Portland, Oregon and I just want to say that you have a beautiful garden of fruit trees.

[@NJS7770]

We have a sweet and spicy sauce to eat with the green mangoes ☺️ Lao bamboo soup is the best! Once you taste it you wouldn't want anything else 😊 Love his garden!!

the bitter plant; we call it "Tawar Racun" on Indonesia, its good for detox poison; like malaria, etc, you eat that with a capsul, just slice it and put on capsul, you never tasted a bitter... i think if some researcher find that,it may be useful for discovering various new drugs

[@sandysumer1929]

Can you please send me some raw mangoes to make pickles I will pay you…

It's a full time job, having those plants, from father to son; good job, keep goong, healthy plants healthy lives 😊

[@chaselex]

I love how his trellis for the dragon fruit is so low. Usually people make them a lot higher, which I do not like. I’m going to try it his way.

[@AdvExplorer]

I remember seeing lots of jackfruits when i visited Laos about 6 or 7 years ago

[@Montanez823]

Florida is awesome! I was just there on vacation! I was in Kissimmee! I'm moving down here as well in the future!

[@glow1815]

Every time you see Asians garden you see lemongrass lol. We use Lemongrass a lot for a lot of dish includes authentic Curry. I gave Lemongrass in my baby garden as well not as healthy and huge as him because it was just a trail. I planted in the middle of Phx heat wave. I assume he doesn't eat too much lime i don't see one. Love Mangos! He has quite a bite of them

[@carlosmante]

lemongrass is very popular in Mexico where is known as "Zacate de Limon". it is used to prepare hot tea.

[@valarmorghulis8139]

18:32 We call it makabuhay here in the Philippines. Aside from medicinal uses we also make natural pesticides out of it.

[@SunshineCountryChickens]

Wow your trees look great! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheBradmd]

Those are custard apples/ Annona reticulata. Spanish/cuban speaking people call them "chirimoya"- that's where the confusion with cherimoya comes from. Great video.

[@thedomestead3546]

Haha, I was going to make this comment

[@AhnayDiary]

Yes lao people eat bamboo shoot, u should ask him to cook for you

[@OrlandoBackyardGardening]

Thanks for sharing Billy

[@ashleyshiba8380]

I backed packed from one end of Laos to the other end truly a beautiful country and lovely people. Now there is a bridge that spans from Thailand to Laos, but at the time of my trek there was not one and so I took a boat from Laung Prabang up the Mekong River to Thailand a 2 day trip a great memory.

[@navajo6931]

The one you said small eggplant in English called Turkey eggplant or pea eggplant In Montagnard Jarai we called Trong kior

[@maroosk]

I had an amazing chef from there as my professor in school, I love all the growers and teachers, we're so lucky!

[@ijahdagang6121]

Wow a lot of fruit...beautiful view from the house...

[@bonqyflowers8882]

Wow, lucky him to be able to plant fruit from Laos. Bamboo soup or mushrooms soup is very health Lao foods. These are my favorite soups.

Grow some durians !! LOL

[@milling37]

Beautiful yard and lots of fruit trees..I'm from Trinidad and we love to plant our fruits and vegetables too🇹🇹👍😊

[@LeeGeeEd]

Does he sell his fruits or vegetables? If he does where is the address?

[@BIOSOIB]

8:02 - "It's very pretty, a pretty waste of space... it's not edible" Known as Kapok outside the USA, it's not just pretty. The fibers around the seeds can be used as natural fiberfill in pillows and comforters and such. (used to be used in lifejackets because it's naturally hydrophobic). Also the seed itself is not only edible, but tastes like coconut. A real plus since real coconuts don't grow well around most of central florida, other than perhaps a dwarf malayan coconut.

[@suecampbell4811]

Hi from Broward county - Chermoya grow in this zone - 10. It would be great if you could zoom in to show the blossoms your guest (with a great voice) pointed out. We take pics of things in the garden and Google the pic. You can try to do that in preparation of this video - then if he doesn't know the name, you can help. Have you ever eaten Chinese dishes with bamboo shoots? Not exotic, a typical ingredient in authentic Asian food.

[@wallapaburnet8590]

I can tell how to make healthy plan. You have to remove grass around the tree approximate 1 -2 feet, make it circle or square. Root need sunny and control watering. See your plant, a lot of leave, it's crowdy there, grow too high without fruit because too wet. Specially whenever you see fruit tree start flowering, you have to stop or do not watering until flower turn to fruit. Then back to normal watering. Too thick grass, too wet ground, too much water, it means no fruit come out.

[@lucianobezerra4380]

I live in Central Florida close to Tampa and the soil here is very poor and sandy and I have a hard time to grow anything here. My sugar apple tree, jaboticaba and mango are having a hard time to bloom flowers and I use every kind of fertilizers and nothing works...😢

[@sevokgajurel1454]

That super bitter medicinal vine is called Gurjo (Tinospora cordifolia). Its called Amrita in Sanskrit that translates to longevity.

[@BIOSOIB]

The first flower tree with the purple flowers around 20m looks like a crepe myrtle, which as he mentioned is grown commercially and is often planted in parks meridians and other greenspaces as it's very low maintenance in FL.

[@marlonholt40]

He doesnt know the variety but if it means that much to you, why dont you ask him for sample leafs and research it for yourself. Why keep asking, im enjoying him just sharing what hes doing.

[@lazybeachbum9394]

Does anyone grow santol in Florida? It's a delicious white flesh, yellow skin fruit, I believe is related to mangosteen.

[@duncannok]

Mango seeds have 2 embryos if his Dad grew that mango from seed both could have sprouted, the reason it's growing so slow could be two trees are competing with eachother. I would sacrifice the weakest tree and allow the other to grow.

[@soniamckenzie7919]

I think fruit trees shed leaves before they blossom take note of that we used the dry coconut meat the dry ones to make rice and beans and that milk is so good in a lot of meals just slice in thin pieces and blend good milk

[@tuyetvo4353]

I take down my jack fruits tree. I plant to close to my patio. I just plant some more jack fruits tree - from the seeds.

[@vanmalaphongsavan1331]

, Thank you for Great Show

[@gbehindthelens]

18:31 It could be bitter melon. In Belize people call it cerasee but I've never tried it.

[@mariaod]

Makabuhay is the plant.

[@gbehindthelens]

​@mariaod Thanks Maria 🙂 I had to google makabuhay. I've never heard of that.

[@jovasquez9215]

Would love to know how to find out , what ph some of the lesser known fruits prefer. If you don’t know can you find out?

[@dianasengchanh4802]

Wow all that fruit trees

24:40 I think that's called a carabao mango aka philippine mango.

Does he have moringa tree? bamboo tree or bamboo shoots can be eaten. You can stir fry them with any type of meat google on how to stir fry the bamboo shoots and other type of menu from bamboo shoots

[@KanchanaUng]

20:50 is called Senegalia pennata or climbing wattle. It stinks pretty bad lol😂 so it is an acquired taste

[@Honestsheep88]

I was just recently in Orlando hopping I can find mango trees but no luck 😅
