Hey I really enjoy watching your videos. My wife and I sit hours on end watching you. Sahara and the cat are so funny. At least Sahara helps :). I was wondering where you got your fruit salad trees. Please I will appreciate this information. Thank you man.

Thanks for the support and compliment - It's greatly appreciated! I purchased mine at a local nursery in Anaheim CA called Mimosa. The tree is produced by Dave Wilson. You can go to their website and look up the tree along with which nurseries they distribute it to.

I was wondering why all our plants look so similar. I've got a ton from Dave Wilson as well, the nursery I go to is green thumb nursery(one of my favorites). I even have the purple succulent plant you have, but mine is more of a ground cover instead of a climber. Your 4 n 1 tree looks great. It's one of the only ones i've seen online that actually have the multitude of fruit producing. I put my blueberry bush in a dark corner spot and kind of lost my harvest since the bees were not pollinating. But once i moved it to a brighter location they are all over it. When I look at yours I know that mine should have already been producing fruit. I have a few critters as well. I was thinking it might be a possum though, but still have not yet to get it on video. They are digging up my fresh mulch and newly plants fruit trees. Love the pray mantis. I introduced 2 baby sacks. Read that you can leave them in the container you get them from until they hatch. I forgot about them and then when I randomly looked it was Mayhem! But I was able to randomly watch them grow into adults (great experience). Dont have so much dragon flys, but when I put up a perch (grape support_ I started to see my very first one. As far as my weed situations its been pretty good. Ive been using 4-6in of mulch and using alot of perennial cover crops. Like stawberries, thyme, oregano, lavender, pineapple sage, white sage, nastarium and a few more. The strawberies just multiple by themselves and whenever I get some free time I cut the runners, let them sit in water for about a week until they get roots and just plant them after. Probably have over 300+ now. Love to see your mango collection and bananas, those are a few plants I don't have but would love to get. What varieties might you recommend? Crazy to think you still got so much fruit on the tree and you even thinned it out. I hate to say it, but those are the problems I would like to have :) 2 much fruit.Great video, easy to listen 2. Sounds like a mellow berry white. Will be here all 2024+

I went to Green Thumb once - I need to go back. Good move on repositioning the blueberries. I first tried to hand pollenate but gave up and let the bees do their job. Blueberries should product fruit within a year even if they're small, at least in pots - might take longer in ground. I like what you're doing with ground cover. I need to incorporate that. Was thinking about Okinawa Spinach but I think I'll do strawberries as well. For mangoes I recommend you plant a seedling and then graft on it varieties you like. The mango expects that watch my videos say I'm doing it the hard way. We'll see but considering cost of mango trees I believe that advice is wise. Re bananas try different varieties and plant what you like. The main concern is making sure the variety's height is what want for the area. Thx for the detailed comments and thoughts!

Absolutely enjoyed the video! I'm sorry to hear what happened to your nectar tree. I hope this year goes great for you and your channel. Just make sure the raccoons don't get any more cookies haha. Also one quick question. What is the song called that you used for the intro? Thank you so much!

[@backyardorcharddreams]

Haha yes we need to the raccoon porch bandits away! Thx for the sentiment and glad you enjoyed it. The song is from the KZbin audio Library called Smokey Eye. Wishing you a great 2024!
