First question about spacing at 21:17 😂. It warms my heart that you always ask questions and greatly appreciate the focus on backyard growers. Your videos are fantastic for both teaching how to grow fruit and preserving the history for future generations. I have no doubt that you’ll leave a lasting legacy.

A sapodilla episode! Nice. I’m growing Tikal, Makok, Hasya, Morena and what seems like a mislabeled Molix, which I suspect is an Ox.

Growin Sapodilla in Jacksonville, I have seen them handle a light freeze. They have been more hardy than Mangoes, Jackfruit, and even Longans.

I agree! I have a few sapodilla in containers in Bay Area 9B, and they are more cold tolerant than mangoes and moringa.

[@LameUserName-l1u]

True. I’ve had freezes that have killed some of my mangoes, but I’ve never lost a sapodilla to a freeze.

Any tips on fertilizing? Thanks.

Great video Paul, I have a Makok variety it's about 2 years old in a 15 gallon pot beautiful and healthy always loaded with flowers but can't seem to figure out why it will not produce. Maybe I need another one next to it To produce?. Thinking not getting a More a Islam live in zone 10 near central fl. Orlando ,Oviedo any suggestions Paul ???.

Malaleuca or paper tree from australia eating up south fl

[@Suds.]

Yeah, Malaleuca is awful. In SWFL, the earleaf acacia is a huge problem too.

[@TropicalAcresFarms]

Yes, Malaleuca was the invasive species we forgot the name of

[@mwnemo]

It was interesting see Alex forget a name of a plant. No wasted mind storage place on invasive plants 😆
