Growing Fruit Trees In South Florida Instead of Hawaii

Daniel is making an amazing food forest. Check it out.
Daniel got many of his fruit trees from D's Trees.

Paul you should stop by my place in Boca some day. About 50 fruit trees on a 1/4 acre.

Corey I would love to. Email me [e-mail] and lets make it happen.

Great! That’s sweet. I DID buy in Hawaii… 5.1 acres at 1780 elevation… lava zone 1… I pitched a tent here and then slowly since late 2016 I’ve planted 180+ fruit bearing trees. Not bananas or papayas or pineapples- trees! It’s the best feeling walking around and admiring and caring for them all. This year I started getting good jackfruits from grafted trees. May 2024 will be seven years of growing some of the grafted durian trees. The worst part is when a tree is lost for whatever reason: wind, disease, accident. Wild pigs here are a real menace. Recently had a five year old emperor lychee collapsed in the night, now I cut it to a stump and have to start again from that. Good luck with your 1 acre.

keep ups updated. do you have a youtube channel

Thanks for sharing Paul

The Tongan seed is a substitute to vanilla we use it in SOUTH America when making cashew nut fruit sweet

[@Tropical_Fruit_stateofmind941]

Thanks Paul Great Motivation For My Project

[@HumbleGolds]

very nice with all these videos. Can I suggest that you put the approx USDA zone and/or the city-township some of these mini backyards are located? Would help others to think when they do their yard. Maybe in the title or video in the beginning. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@FruitfulTrees]

Good suggestion. Thank you

[@enriqueaguilar422]

Once again…… u knocked it out the park . 👏👏

[@SunshineCountryChickens]

Looks great yall cant wait to see it all growing more this summer! Today I planted sunchokes, asparagus, onions and garlic and rhubarb! In summer I have banana, citrus and papaya Im in SE Texas

[@unconventionalme8048]

Amazing all he’s fit into the spaces

[@danieltorok8589]

Thank you. There was a lot we didn’t cover. But the big test will be if they all grow well together or start to compete with each other. It’s more an experiment in some areas of the yard with trying to layer short side trees with tall narrow ones side by side.

[@MinhTran-ut8xk]

beautiful place, looks much bigger than 1 acres

[@robinson101011]

Another great video!

[@thomastropics]

Very nice collection🌱

[@danieltorok8589]

Thank you. Still adding 😂

[@thomastropics]

@@danieltorok8589 im collecting also a lot of rare fruit plants. But I’m growing them in pots

[@danieltorok8589]

That’s gonna be real nice :). Make sure you share that with us once you are ready.

[@thomastropics]

@@danieltorok8589 I have a little KZbin Channel where I’m showing that. ThomasTropics

[@danieltorok8589]

@@thomastropics I’ll certainly check that out. Thank you :)

[@georgweyand88]

Thanks for sharing. Looks much bigger than 1 acre. Is he using some of the neighbor's properties as well?

[@danieltorok8589]

Honestly. I feel the same haha. It’s all just the acre and the house is about 1/3 of that. I think it’s just a lot layered into similar groupings that makes it look larger. I believe it’s 1.08 acre total.

[@shamimaahmed1334]

I see from the title you are in south Florida but what is name of this place. How many acres do you have? I like your idea about de stressing your co worker. I want to move like this kind of area way from city and from crowed place. But since price is getting high. What is the best way to move on this kind of place?

When the video first start is that a black sapote behind you

[@amelh]

That place is sooo messy I would go nuts

[@truthmatters-t7e]

Mekong Giant is a much taller banana. I am growing Musa Ingenes which will get even bigger.

[@gynekcham9018]

My palm trees chocked underground all my fruit trees so im cutting them down and digging roots out. Starting all over again. No good combine these two things.

[@danieltorok8589]

Thanks for the comment. They both tend to have roots that run along the surface of the soil rather than deep rootings. It will be interesting to see how they interact on my property. I’ve set up the smaller palms with the smaller fruit trees etc. layering them. Actually, most of the shallow root plants and palms are up front because of the drain field. It’s all an experiment here, so hopefully they don’t all choke themselves out ha. We’ll see in a few years and then plant accordingly.

[@ellena858]

What’s a Ronny?

[@FruitfulTrees]

a variety of an avocado

[@johnbanach3875]

It's supposed to be the variety in South Florida that holds its fruit the longest from winter into spring according to Julian Lara, who propagates it.

[@landonbrowne6250]

why does it have to be tropical fruit trees.. the best fruit trees arent in tropical zones... like peaches and pears... some asian pears.. persimmons too you cant grow good in tropical they need the cold hours too fruit! same for nuts like pecan and sht !

[@landonbrowne6250]

if I was his zone I would grow like 40 dragonfruits

[@FruitfulTrees]

grow trees where ever you are. We just happen to be in south Florida so that's why I focus on Tropical Fruit Trees but people should grow where ever they are.

[@danieltorok8589]

Things we didn’t cover in the video are the low-chill hour peaches, nut trees like macadamia, and persimmons here. Also the varieties of Jaboticabas. UF has done quite a bit of research on how we can get colder weather fruits here with lower chill hours :D. I know that wasn’t your point, but still pretty rad hah.

[@danieltorok8589]

@@landonbrowne6250 if you watch very carefully you’ll see some in the trees :D

[@NatureDiets]

Plus you can grow persimmons in FL too
