Wow amazing brother #Andrethefarmer

[@sandersmcelroy6973]

Oh wow! This is amazing!

[@louisafelix6190]

Correction, Dasheen and Malanga are different. Taste is quite different, much softer consistency. Although in the same family. Dasheen leaves have purplish veins, Malanga doesn't. Dasheen leaves are used for callaloo in some islands. Different from Jamaican callaloo. Beautiful food jungle. Informative video.

Awesome food forest 👍

[@alastairwilliams7747]

when you cincture a tree like you do when air layering it disrupts the flow or hormones and put them into fruiting mode because the tree thinks it may die. just cincturing by itself is often (but not that often) to cause a younger tree to flower, to produce more fruit and also to dwarf the tree.

[@visaac187]

Amazing food forest! Alphonso is the best,Mallika is a close second 😊

[@cecileb.2207]

That was a fantastic tour of your food forest. The plants are looking great and it is August! Love it! Please keep us updated how the sour sop and breadfruit do. We have 2 sour sop trees we are babying...I am hoping to try a breadfruit soon. We are in Central Florida near the beach. Thanks for sharing. 🌼🌸🌷🌴

[@Okorokanze2000]

Hey Doc, sorry I'm late to work again. Here's a so and so tree. I know you've being wanting one for the longest. ( Employee of the month candidate, if you ask me) lol

[@aquariadiana6779]

Your dedication and hard work has produced such a beautiful Food Forest. You would have to ban me from the Jamaican Cherry tree... :o)

[@andrebaptiste]

Thank you

[@JoJo-vs9yq]

[@jeremypinto3274]

This is a great yard tour video. Thank you 🙏

[@FreckledandFrugal]

Beautiful garden

[@bvegannow1936]

Automatic watering with moisture sensor, rain collection, grey water. Dwarf food trees can go in small spaces.

[@everydaydad2618]

Impressive food forest! I’m inspired.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks

[@judycoleman7506]

Very impressive

[@SunFirefarm-qh3fn]

Thank you. Being from Jamaica the longing is REAL. Now living in NC on 5 acres. Will purchase grafts from you eventually hopefully. Did you say 1/2 acre looks like 10.

[@tarakelley3777]

Amazing tour

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks

[@linetteguiliani3312]

Wao your food forest is fantastic!

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks

[@vesleeful]

[@TimmerTheChipper]

[@vesleeful]

[@jessejames8377]

Wonderful video Sir!

[@hhwippedcream]

!WOW!

[@EnergiA854]

Mangoes are too sweet😂😅😉

[@jardinexperimental]

Pretty cool selections.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks!

[@jardinexperimental]

@@andrebaptiste I'm in Winter Haven area and I'm also pushing the boundaries, I like your passion so I'm subscribing

[@andrebaptiste]

@@jardinexperimental love that

[@bullsfoodforest347]

It is so good to see other people that love there food forest as much as I do mine. But you might have a problem with that jamaican cherry, tamarind, and mulberry so close, because they are big tree even if you prune. I know that problem well. 😆😆😆

[@andrebaptiste]

Yeah. They were early additions. The mulberry is irrelevant I can hack that down as needed. But having those trees mature is a problem I’m ok with having 👍🏾

[@kaylinevans]

I am so interested in your grafted mangos (not the rootstock grafts but on the stems). I will really only have room for one (maybe two) in my yard, and I had decided that this would be my solution for having a wide variety of mangos. My husband and I love them. I was also planning on doing this to a citrus tree, dragon fruit cactus, and an avocado tree (well, really any plant that would accept a graft well). I'll have to see if you have a specific video on those, but if not, I would love to know more about how successful those are. I am also in the Orlando area, and we are moving to a yard near water, so the similarities in conditions have me intrigued! Thanks for sharing.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks. I have lots of videos on grafting techniques

[@evanthatkid4223]

man this is cool

[@shermanalcide6791]

Fantastic! This reminded me of my childhood in the Caribbean. You’ve got a fantastic garden. I envy you, can’t have this in Europe.💪🏽

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks

[@missn8231]

I’m so impressed with the mango trees and please tell me how you are able to grow a breadfruit tree

[@andrebaptiste]

Too cold here to leave it out in the winter

[@vesleeful]

Tell about the Alphonso mango just buy a tree from nursery everyone is saying it don't do well in FL. Hope for success

[@andrebaptiste]

It produced about 10 mangoes last year. None this year. But put out some nice growth. Took a couple years for the roots to really catch

[@cedriclattimore1629]

Living in Minnesota for the last 19 years, originally from Jacksonville Florida by way of Lakeland, Fl. Will definitely be using some of your planting ideas for land my wife and I own in Jasper , Fl. Retiring in 4 years, your forest looks amazing.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thank you

[@cynthiacardenasschweitzer9597]

Cool tour. Can’t wait to see the tour in the fall.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks

[@brookedecollona883]

Thank you for the wonderful Tuor, at your garden. It's my dream to have lots of fruit in my garden, but I live in a cold place. I'm planning to have a greenhouse just to grow all those tropical fruits. My question is when is a good time to air layering? I tried to air layering my cheery and apricot tree but noting coming up.

[@andrebaptiste]

Hi. Thanks. You can airlayer anytime the tree is not dormant

[@jerrikararebuddah]

I live in Sanford! Next year we are planning on acquiring land , I can’t go start gardening!

[@TimmerTheChipper]

Thanks for the tour big bro. I’m going to have a good forest as well. Do you do in person tours for the really interested ones?

[@andrebaptiste]

Yes I do! Message me

[@cumberlandonpiano6494]

💗

[@teddyhadley3565]

Hey Andre, I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I’m loving your channel. I’m in the Orlando area as well, have you visit my friend’s food forest The Orlando Gardner he has a KZbin channel as well. Thanks

[@andrebaptiste]

I have communicated with him but we haven’t met yet

[@onlyveggies]

Wonderfully informative. You are a walking encyclopedia. Curious question re permaculture, do you water if things are real dry or is it all about letting nature run its course?

[@andrebaptiste]

Yes. You water as needed.

[@midnewt1468]

Hey Andre have you planned on growing santol?

[@andrebaptiste]

No. I’ll look into it

[@edenespaldon6468]

Hi, Andre. I have a lake in my backyard. I want to pump out the water from it to water my plants in summer. Can you talk a little bit of this in your vlog? Do I need a permit and approval from my HOA?

[@andrebaptiste]

Yes you should get a permit. But I don’t think I got HOA approval. But that might vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. I had a well service install it.

[@tacticalllama9211]

Love your strawberry tower. Efficient and not a ton of money and shipping from the ones off amazon

[@backyardwarrior90]

Andre, great tour! Do you do anything special to your fuyu persimmon to get it to fruit? Mine doesn't fruit and I have had it for a couple of years.

[@andrebaptiste]

Thanks. Just mulch , Mexican sunflower and fish emulsion

[@chdrosche]

Do you have any videos talking about medicinal herbs in north Florida that can be foraged? I would love to learn more but it’s hard to find specific information to North Florida. Most videos are generalized and North Florida seems to have a specific biodiversity.

[@andrebaptiste]

No. Not yet

[@jennifernickisch9373]

So Can i just Cut a branch from a Mulberry tree & propagate it ??

[@andrebaptiste]

Yep

[@su0019]

you can grow mangoes in orlando?

[@andrebaptiste]

Yes.

[@Okorokanze2000]

Lmao in my mind, I was like who in their right mind would plant a tommy arkin with all the choices out there and then you explained yourself. " Well you're excused compared to the mango I just picked this morning off the ground from the neighbor's house here at work with 2 trees in front of their house. (Seedling manila mango) 😂 an egg was bigger than the ripe fruit on the ground. I secretly want to graft their tree but don't want to get arrested ( suspicious blk man with dreads standing outside their house with sharp objects lmao)

[@andrebaptiste]

Lol

[@EnergiA854]

THIS IS SUGARLAND

[@MoniMeka]

Wait, did you say fruit punch mango? 😩😩😩😩😩😩

[@andrebaptiste]

Yes. I’ve got many even cooler than that. See my full garden tour

[@R1M1r1m1]

What variety of strawberry do you have?

[@andrebaptiste]

Idk. Sorry
