I agree with this guy, a big difference between a commercial operation and a backyard that you can manage intensely. I only have 1/2 an acre and if you want a large variety (100+) of fruit trees then there is no option other than close planting.

Ditto, I don’t have much space on my home’s lot I have no choice but to do high density planting. I have a smaller lot of about 8000 sqft, most of it is taken up by the home, pool and driveway but I planted a decent variety of fruit trees 🌳

Whatever genius thinks high intensity planting is not a good should take a look at rainforests

Keep up the videos! You've been putting out great content, I'm enjoying the interviews with growers.

I believe that high intensity gardening works in Phoenix because it helps establish shaded microclimates relatively rapidly. In our area the soil is surprisingly decent, just has saline and structure problems (compaction) that can be easily improved. Mulching over the entire yard always does wonders for jump-starting the soil's microclimate and microbiome. I think you can grow 100X more biomass while using comparable amounts of water to your typical lawn or even sometimes a xeriscaped landscape here in PHX. Such systems retain water, especially if you add a pond to the mix to act as your water battery.

How exciting this guys place is! I'd love some Angie mangos right now!

[@genejaytre]

This isn’t relative to a home grower. He’s doing commercial

TY for info. Randomly choose 9 ft apart both Axis for my backyard. ( 12 columns x 9 rows ) Wonder what are the trade offs for HD approach. Also Like to verify following : 1) Relatively Taller Trees 2) Lower Yield

Nothing will happen space or not. Trees are young and at least 10 years they need to mature . They will produce at the right time

Another great video paul. When you plant a new mango tree. In summer time. How often do you water it. If we have no rain.

[@keenang4705]

I was told every other day .

[@greatergood3706]

Make a plan, right variety for the right spot taking care about their known vigor. Just planting fruit trees haphazardly on a whim will end up a problem later.

[@Floridafoodforest.]

I do a lot of high-intensity mostly because I'm zone pushing like a mad man. there are some 30' mangos close to me(or was before last winter havent been by them yet this year) usually not the case around here.

[@DaBuDaSak]

How close can you plant apples peaches or plums to a house if you keep it no taller than 9 feet?

[@FruitfulTrees]

8 or 10 feet part if you keep them that small

[@geriannroth449]

Yet another informative video. Who would you recommend me purchasing exotic fruit tree seeds like longans jujube Rambutan ice cream bean lychee etc from?

[@FruitfulTrees]

Not sure the best place to get the seeds

[@geriannroth449]

@@FruitfulTrees ok thanks maybe you could feature this alternatve on one of your next videos for propagating exotic fruit trees for those who may live outside the US where we cant buy & import grafted fruit trees. I'm sure it would be just as informative & helpful to many like me who live outside the US where the only option to get & grow exotic fruit yrees is via the seed option.

[@fernandezfarm]

Your videos are awesome, very informative.
