Great Nursery. (Fruiting Lychees)

A quick tour of a nursery from Marketplace in Sunshine, Melbourne.
the name of the place is "Lily Pink"
Great choice for rare advanced sub tropicals

[@UrbanBounty]

The name of the nursery on Marketplace is "Lily Pink" in the suburb of Sunshine in Melbourne. Thanks for watching 👍

Helleo i live in Cairnlea near Sunshine i would love to visits the Nursery. I've try to Google Lily Pink Nursery with no luck couldn't find the address. Could you give me the number and address to Lily Pink Nursery.

Hello my friend. Please let me know if this link works to his facebook marketplace facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100078697509197/?ref=permalink&mibextid=dXMIcH

[@UrbanBounty]

Hello again Hoang I was just wondering if the link to the nursery on marketplace came through to you?

[@gardeningperth]

I'd walk away broke from that place.

[@UrbanBounty]

😆 it's a dangerous place

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Great find!! Could easily drop $500 there with the first visit. HOWEVER inground abiu, soursop, canistel, and jackfruit won't survive in Melbourne. 😧

[@UrbanBounty]

Hi George With the lychees I'm gonna turn my pond area into a greenhouse with the pond at the bottom and try the lychees and miracle fruit in there. Hopefully the pond acts like a heat sink

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

@@UrbanBounty Lychee will just scrape by in our climate when established. I've lost a dozen young ones over the years, when older they fair better. The two you bought look super healthy.

[@UrbanBounty]

@@RealLifeFruitopia the guy's brother works at a nursery in qld and he does a video tour of the nursery and the guy selects what he wants sent down. He also told me another brother is currently producing 1 ton of wax jambu on his farm every week to send interstate. Very nice bloke

Supporting here from New Zealand. Let's keep connected

[@UrbanBounty]

Thank you, will do 😀

Good luck Urban with the lychees… the tai so is a BEAST with those massive fruits! These trees you are buying is even performing better than my ones in Sydney.. it must be grown inside a greenhouse or something as you are in Melbourne?

[@UrbanBounty]

Hi mate, he told me he sourced them already fruiting from interstate but I couldn't resist 😉 Yes I'm in Melbourne outskirts

So lovely nursery with very healthy plants.

[@UrbanBounty]

Yes it was amazing. The owners are Vietnamese Australians and he can get any plant from his brother in Queensland

[@lyonheart84]

Lol exotics are so cheap to buy in the subtropics because they are so readily available. IF you can even find a jaboticaba in Europe you'd pay double that price for half the size 🤪🤪. Even my Meiwa kumquat which are incredible hard to get in Europe cost me around AUS $300 for a 1 metre plant. I've never paid that much for a plant before and never intend to again 😂😂

[@UrbanBounty]

These plants were still grown about 3000km from me to get them to grow. They were grown in Subtropics but the next major landmass south from me after Tasmania is Antarctica

[@lyonheart84]

​@@UrbanBounty yes exactly mate, they can propagate them so easily in the same Country whereas we'd have to import them from overseas, a rare occurrence here 😣😣. I think Alyssa visited that guy, what a great mini nursery 🤩

[@UrbanBounty]

@@lyonheart84 I'm lucky in that we haven't got quarantine restrictions yet with qld suppliers but I think 3 states now cant have things sent from qld legally. Western Australia in particular is extremely strict on plant movements. Huge fines I think. This fellow I bought off today has a brother who works at a Queensland nursery and they do video calls and he chooses which plants he wants sent down lol

[@MamusTreatsandDesserts]

Indeed a great nursery garden. I am your four hundredth friend. Stay connected my dear.

[@UrbanBounty]

Wow thank you and your food looks delicious. I look forward to trying out your recipes 😀

[@Coolclimatetropicalfruits]

Awesome nursery Paul He has very nice looking advanced trees Very nice new lychee additions

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks Neil. He had mostly named varieties. Some rare

[@joestropicals6760]

Really nice fruit tree nursery 🤩 I’d have a field day if I was there 😂

[@UrbanBounty]

I wish I found this one earlier in my travels when I had more room because I would have saved some money. Cheers Joe

[@MsFishingdog]

Great video

[@UrbanBounty]

Thank you 😀

[@backyardsnackyard]

How amazing! Homegrown apples taste so much better than store bought ones, so I only imagine how amazing these beauties would taste straight from the garden. If only we could grow them here in England!

[@UrbanBounty]

So true. These trees were grown interstate from me about 3000km away. I'm in Victoria and these will barely survive for me and would probably die if I planted them in the open. This winter we had several nights below -3c but fruit growing favours the bold. Thanks for watching

[@backyardsnackyard]

@@UrbanBounty definitely. So often plants that should thrive here, such as hardy kiwi berries or even regular plums get hit by late frosts, which means no fruit that year...I'm just trying to grow as much as possible so we'll always have something edible in the garden😄

[@UrbanBounty]

@@backyardsnackyard there's few things better than walking around your own edible garden!

[@backyardsnackyard]

@@UrbanBounty very true😀

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Didnt make it there before covid for a red Jambu - the Tai So is an early good for Melb but they must have set before arriving here - my 2mt TS is only doing a leaf flush now and B3 slower but may have flowers this year - my Dwarf Kwai Mai about to flower but never sets after 8y

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks for the info Mark. Yes he told me they fruited before arrival. I went to Lintons a few weeks ago and saw his paw paws which made me buy a few advanced ones. Going in ground soon. Cheers

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@UrbanBounty Asimina are terrific and seedlings don't take that long to fruit. Eating lots of Cherimoya now - did you take in all tbe rare plants hes got - fantastic collector ✔️ Plant Asimina in groups of 3 close as they like crowding

[@UrbanBounty]

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 thanks for the tip re asimina. I only bought two paw paw but it wasn't from Linton it was from yamina rare plants and they were named varieties. I got a PA gold and a Louis Glowinski 1 but now you mention 3, I could buy another 😉 Are the cherimoya you're eating grown at your place? I purchased a patagonian pineapple from Linton and he gave me some limeberry seedlings and a full tour which I loved

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

@@UrbanBounty were they their grafted Asimina or named seedlings - my PA gold just doesn't perform like my seedlings - very slow may have had a damaged tap root? I got a lime Berry recently crom Daley's - dont know the Pategonian but got a chocalate berry vine from Linton - very Ike chocolate too.Yes the Cherimoya i grew and a couple Paxton & Pinks - i prefer now Cherimoya Pinks then Paxton way down no flavour atl.

[@UrbanBounty]

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 the paw paw plants were grafted, I think the Louis Glowinski comes from the garden of the doctor who used to have open garden tours of his place near the city. I'll have to look up about the chocolate vine, sounds great

[@marksmtalent]

Beautiful mate

[@UrbanBounty]

Yes mate, in Sunshine area 👍

[@marksmtalent]

@@UrbanBounty beautiful mate lychee ready to plant... How much per seedlings mate.

[@UrbanBounty]

@@marksmtalent the lychee is 100-140 but many years old. Have to keep in a small pot so that it stays dry roots

[@marksmtalent]

@@UrbanBounty thats cheap mate.... How old do you think the lychee seedlings or air layer mate.

[@UrbanBounty]

@@marksmtalent air layered mate. I think 3 or 4 years in pot. He has a lot of things there. Very good prices and quality
