Gilbert AZ Food Forest: High Density Permaculture Fruit Tree Orchard and Gardens, Spring 2024 Tour!

Come along as I show you the progress of our ever-evolving suburban food forest here in beautiful Gilbert, AZ. This permaculture style garden is full of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and medicinal plants. The gardens are fed with free mulch, worm castings, and Salt River flood irrigation. Our micro-farm, which we have titled "Suburbiculture" is just over 3 years old and coming along nicely! Thanks for watching! Please like, comment, and share with anyone who may be interested! Feel free to visit our website at EZHousehold.com to request a visit, or an at home consultation if you would like to create something like this on your own property.
Peace and Love,
J

Will do, thank you kindly!

[@kennypennington2283]

Badass. Lot of responsibility!

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

True, once the trees establish in the ground they take care of themselves. A little compost, a little mulch..​@Ni-dk7ni

[@user-mx1wn1lw9s]

Looking GREAT buddy!! That's a LOT of hard work!

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Thank you, it has been. We've managed well doing little sections at a time and focusing on plants known to do well in our area.

[@POPPAJ-inthegarden]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos. Very nice love what you're doing

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Thanks Poppa J, and likewise! We're just getting started. Please stay tuned for future updates, educational info, and harvests! Stay well.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

So glad you think so! We love plants...and food!

[@Sarlat1]

Informative and encouraging tour. The transcript is especially helpful for catching details like where items were purchased. Thanks, too, for the candor about what has and hasn't worked so well.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Great to read, thank you! I appreciate your feedback. Stay tuned!

[@solarpros5146]

Absolutely love it. Great work and can’t wait to see more.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Awesome, glad to read it! Thanks, looking forward to sharing some footage of the fresh fruits this year!

[@Greybic]

Absolutely Beautiful! Excited for more videos!

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Thank you, we think so too! Especially now that everything is flowering. Allergies can be rough though 😀

[@MsArtharris]

What a creative variety of fruit trees. My mouth is watering just thinking about your bounty!! So happy you have found your Niche! Mulberries🥰

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

The goal is to have fruits ripen every month of the year 💚 Mulberries are excellent!

[@itshannasimone]

And that garden makes the BEST salads 😍😍😋

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Can't beat garden fresh! We know exactly what's in it and on it 🙌

[@user-mv1nr8rl8e]

I would Love a pear tree in my yard! Ring me Up!

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Pears are incredible! If you ever want to know more I know the varieties that grow best in the desert SW! 💚

[@palaleda5681]

I live in an HOA. Luckily not super strict but I’m slowly receding my lawn year by year lol.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

PUSH those boundaries, haha.

[@EastRiverHomestead]

Just subscribed. On the same goal path.

[@jasonrodriguez3858]

Just discovered your channel. I’m also in Gilbert. Nice looking yard. It’s interesting to see your Jamaican cherry in ground and making it. How long have you had it? I have one but I’ve kept it in a pot. Figured they are too cold sensitive for our winters.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Hey Jason! Thanks Man. JC's need to be in the ground, they will die back in the winter but they won't perish. This last winter I kept a halogen work type light at the base and shining up the trunk and it kept it's overall height and it'll start flowering any day now. It's been in the ground 2 years and grows insanely fast. Don't be afraid to plant it. Your welcome to come over and check it out. Hit me up, [e-mail].

[@jasonrodriguez3858]

@@SuburbicultureAZ good to know. mine is in a pot right now with quite a few flowers. Just noticed though it’s got little tiny what’s looks to be black bugs on the leaves not sure what they are. Yeah id love to check yours out

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

@@jasonrodriguez3858 It's bug season. Spray them off with the hose.

[@ourrockydreamontheelephant4188]

Wonderful food forest. Question,do you shade your newly planted stonefruit?

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

I don't, but after failing many times, I plant in fall rather than spring. It makes a big difference in my opinion. Young trees will do better with painted or wrapping trunks, and exposed branches.

[@upliftlife11]

Amazing tour! Your food forest looks great 😊 would love Star Fruit if I could find someone who sells them where I live.

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Glad you enjoyed it! If you're looking for a star fruit tree, you can always find online sellers. If you live in the South, anywhere from CA to FL, I imagine somebody has them for sale. Probably best for zone 9+. Good luck!

[@upliftlife11]

@SuburbicultureMicroFarm Yeah, I'm in zone 9, but I haven't seen it at any stores or nurseries here. I found it online at fast growing trees, but that website is expensive and they don't tell you the exact variety. Do you know any other online retailers?

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

@@upliftlife11 Try Top Tropicals.

[@upliftlife11]

@SuburbicultureMicroFarm Found it there. Thank you for the recommendation! 😁 is there a specific star fruit variety that's your favorite??

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

@upliftlife11 I haven't eaten any fruit yet from our trees, they're young, but from what I know, Kari or Fwang Tong.

[@hannahgard3577]

Hello! I love this tour, thanks for the great video! My wolfe loquat tree didn’t make it through last summer and I can’t find another anywhere. Would you ever consider selling a cutting?

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Oh no, sorry to read that. I know many loquats didn't make it through last summer, especially of planted last year as well. I lost 4 trees myself. I imagine it will be very difficult to propagate loquat from a cutting, have you ever tried? Typically they are grown from seed and grafted, with a small amount being air layered, from what I understand at least. Try reaching out to Alan at Queen Creek Tropicals, that's where I got mine. Also, there are at least half a dozen varieties that will do very well here, Bradenton, Gold Nugget, and Big Jim are some of the most popular. But definitely check Green Life as well. If you have no luck, reach out to me through my website @ EZHOUSEHOLD.COM.

[@hannahgard3577]

@@SuburbicultureAZ Thank you so much! I was planning on grafting one, but I ended up finding one online. I appreciate your help!

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

@hannahgard3577 Well done glad to read it.

[@illustrious1]

If you could only choose one, what is your favorite pear tree to grow?

[@SuburbicultureAZ]

We only have the two, of the two I would choose the Waddell Pear because it is native to Arizona as the result of a natural hybridization process, as far as I understand. However, many pears will do quite well here, including the Asian types.

[@illustrious1]

@@SuburbicultureAZ I love your food forest and garden. It's very beautiful and I'm happy it's growing so well. Your doing great work. Thank you for the info. I will get one for my family in Chandler.
