EYBY - Edible Backyard Fruit Harvest in DECEMBER - 4 Types of Fruit Harvested

[@helenbusse7778]

I had fun watching you guys going around picking fruits and berries from your yard. I have a tip for you for the banana heart you got there. Peel it all the way to the almost white part of it. Cut it into quarters then boil it (on high heat) til tender. Cool it down and squeeze the water out. Saute it w/ onion and garlic some vinegar and season with salt. Or just add vinegar and salt after you squeezed the water out and you have yourself a salad or pickled banana heart. You can do that with sweet potato leaves too.

The banana flower gou can open is en use the white inside and use as cabaga. Tastes great with masala

We make banana heart as vegetable with coconut 🥥 milk and unripe papaya

[@EatYourBackyard]

Sounds great! Do you need to boil it prior?

[@christianlloydcomia9138]

@@EatYourBackyard yes but you should sure that soft

If you keep the grass away from the trunks of your trees it will keep whom ever mows your lawn from damaging the trunks and let your trees get more nutrients ... Best to keep grass away from the trunk to the outer drip line ...

[@EatYourBackyard]

I think you are right, yet, I really don't like fighting with grass...

[@MariaDominguez-bl1ef]

Nice backyard. Did you know the cherry hedge fruit have worms in them I’d say most of the time. Unfortunately just like guava- at least the ones I’ve tried. Just thought I would let you know. It really sucks because they’re good and they grow in abundance.

[@EatYourBackyard]

Thanks for that bit of info, hehe. I will choose to forget they have worms and eat on!

[@jeroenkieviet1597]

Well I think the mulberries turn black after they've been red so if you wait a little longer they'll turn black

[@EatYourBackyard]

good point.

[@GHumpty1965]

Loved this Video, great tour. I loved the way you explained things to your son and to us as well. If you feel up to it I suggest you make a Lemon Marmalade sometime. I make it when ever I can because it seems to be a hit with my Wife, Mother In-Law, close Family and with my neighbors. Its different yet familiar like Orange Marmalade, kind of a mind bender because you cannot believe how good it is. All you need it 6 or 7 Lemons, I add a couple of Oranges with zest and TSP of ground Ginger to round out the taste; Sugar to your liking. That was cool about the Banana growing out of that stump, had that particular growth fruited last season? You might have found a way to get 2 bunches off 1 tree now.

[@EatYourBackyard]

Thanks! Now I look back at that experience with joy, he is getting bigger. BTW, if you want to support the channel, grab some merch! I just added this as a lark, hehe. kzbin.info/door/h0CJ9ZpOFCXdmFWJPXyMTAstore

[@jamaicaninsidernews7195]

Here's a tip about fruit trees, you got everything right so far but, you harvest everything same time because, that sends a sign to the tree that you want more if you don't harvest everything then it will not produce much next time around, note trees kind of have feelings.

[@EatYourBackyard]

Wow, really great advice, thanks!

[@hussainshaikh4309]

It's cool, well organized backyard, not conjunct trees. Do you use compost fertilizer

[@EatYourBackyard]

A little, just stack up plant debris.

[@jewelciappio2878]

Do you remember where you got your mulberry tree? I'm looking to get a couple for our Florida food yard and I want one that will get big.

[@EatYourBackyard]

A cutting from a friend, best way to go.

[@Bryan-fc6wq]

One question, when do you prune your mango trees? i live in florida too

[@EatYourBackyard]

I personally think the early spring after any freeze threat is best. It is important to remove wood mass, not just small branches.

[@Bryan-fc6wq]

Ah okay,I have 1 foot tree, going pretty good,not sure if i should prune it or wait a year for height

[@EatYourBackyard]

I would wait for it to get some height first. Top it where you want it to branch. More branches , more fruit.

[@Bryan-fc6wq]

Okay thank you another question i have a 6 foot tree (mango) should i prune it during spring? Aswell?

[@EatYourBackyard]

Yes and remove wood mass. That is the key. I will do a Mango tree trimming video in the early spring.

[@matthewszasz1895]

What are your recommendations for gardening with the bugs, not using or minimal pesticides. Crop rotation?

[@EatYourBackyard]

I use almost no pesticides other than wasp spray or such. I plant all over, keep things seperated. Sometimes bug wreck stuff, I rarely intervene other than putting neem oil. I do not crop rotate, I continuously augment the soil with chop and drop and bunny manure. Check out my new music channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-QhKmcptiFfq8 called Jedi Jingle Maker.

11:14 How to have a short banana tree producing bananas!

[@EatYourBackyard]

Short and plentiful!

[@Eugenia_Farms]

maybe use mulberry leaves as feed for animals.... if you eat the greens or unripe mulberrys in abundance they create a hallucinogenic compound on your stomach ❤️🥶

[@EatYourBackyard]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Eugenia_Farms]

EatYourBackyard yw! my buddy told me this tip a few weeks ago then i happened to watch your video. there is a variety that has edibles leaves tho you are correct you have to just do some research im not sure which one it is

[@indica77]

The mulberry fruit turns from green to red and then to black when it's fully ripe.

[@EatYourBackyard]

yes indeed, a glorious process!

[@EatYourBackyard]

Except mine stops at red

My Surinam Cherry loses its leaves at winter. Does yours? I'm in Lecanto, hunkering down for Irma. Good luck to you.

No, mine keeps its leaves. I have grown grapefruit indoors and they never bloomed. I think the trick is a very bog pot to let the roots spread out.

Where are you located? We live in a green forested part of the temperate zone USA, but can't have tropical fruits growing because we have a very cold winter. That severely limits the variety of fruits we can enjoy off the trees. I really envy what you have. The chocolate pudding fruit is sapote.

Awesome that is a BIG Barbados Cherry. They love the trimming, get much thicker and produce more fruit I think.
