My Rare Fruit Tree Collection (8 Varieties You Won't See at Big Box Stores)

[@carolcalder8145]

I loved the varieties of fruit trees you have in your yard. I enjoyed watching very much! Thank you for sharing your fruit forest!❤❤❤❤❤

[@POPPAJ-inthegarden]

Looks great and you are right fruits from your own tree are much better

[@nighatkhan3075]

Beautiful fruit trees. Enjoy growing them, gardening is all about experiments. Nothing venture nothing gained.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

That's the fun of gardening - experimenting and finding new things!

[@dianadeller7579]

I love it!! I want to walk in your beautiful garden!!! Love mangoes too♥️♥️♥️💖💖💖

[@edibletropicaltrees]

Thanks for the video. I have several of the same trees you are growing at my house in Mesa, Arizona. I'm growing several varieties of the Jaboticaba trees. Your right the Miracle trees do struggle, they need a soil pH about the same as Blueberries.

[@nathanfishback]

Great video! You explain each tree very well as why/what you did with them. Keep it up!

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Thank you, I really appreciate the encouragement. Hope to see you back here again.

They're all looking great! Such unique trees. I hope I get to try jackfruit and jabo soon.

[@RyansBackyardNursery]

Excellent work! I wish I had the space you have there very nice

[@melanieperumal9968]

Good stuff, I am from Durban, South Africa and a lot of the fruit trees you reviewed today is fruits that ear easily available in Durban and absolutely delicious. Mango, litchee and loquat are my faves❤

[@melanieperumal9968]

Pls try planting a passion fruit plant...you might know it has granadilla. Very yummy

[@rubytuby6369]

I grew jackfruit in Hawaii. They get big fast and our quick producers.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

I hope the same can be said about Arizona, but I think both the jackfruit tree and I would prefer Hawaiian weather!

[@joyofgrowing]

❤love all your rare trees I have a few of them growing here in the Bay Area! Pineapple Guava, Loquat, little Cado Avacado, mulberries just new this year, future persimmon, Owari Satsuma kumquats and many dwarf blueberries as well as dwarf blackberries

[@huotlor255]

I really surprise you like fruit trees in your yard. I came from Cambodia, my people love to grow fruit trees at home and share them with friends. I Planted mangos, persimmon, longans in my Yard, thanks!.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

I would love to visit Cambodia someday, and try all the fruit!

[@huotlor255]

Thank you very much!

[@DimsKitchenplusJourney]

Great rare fruit garden and video

[@Day-tm2pb]

Mango trees every hot climate should grow and it would be awesome in Arizona is glen, Carrie, Haden and Valencia pride. The last two specially are supper strong trees that will survive winters easier and if you get it a microclimate until stablished you will have forever mangoes. But make sure you give it a microclimate and water well before a frost.

[@KunyongPlantito0824]

What a great collection of fruits❤❤❤❤

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Thank you :)

[@EastRiverHomestead]

How wonderful! So, so beautiful! Love your avocados. I have a Joey and it is not doing well. I have two Loquats and they haven't produced yet - too early. I have Mayhaw and its fruit makes the best jelly I have ever had. Lastly, I have two pineapple guava which are evergreen as well. I would like to try the unusual trees like yours. Thanks for the video!

Nice garden.

[@broady1247]

Where did you find your longan and lychee trees? Great to see what is possible, I never knew this was even a possibility in AZ. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. Is yuzu or calamansi something you have tried in the past?

[@TouchGrassGardening]

I got them at GreenLife in Phoenix AZ. Never tried yuzu or calamansi, -- do you have it in your garden? Thanks for the comments and welcome to the channel!

[@broady1247]

Not yet, but you've inspired me to try!😊

[@georgefeliz7875]

Hi from Tampa Florida. Great video. Have two varieties of tropical mangoes from Barahona Dominican Republic - one of them is flowering now can't wait to eat them!!!! 😂😂

[@aghurl7995]

In the Philippines you can find mango trees almost in every houses and for the record our mangoes are the best in the world.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Someday I'd love to visit.

[@hemanthk4075]

Indian mangoes ❤

[@samanthiperera1007]

In Sri Lanka, We also have many varieties of sweet mangos.

[@Kcin-1971]

Great.... Feel likes I'm at our village even u are at Arizona. I'm from Malaysia...

[@Brilliogarden]

Very nice video, thank for sharing Definitely we will see lot difference in between store bought and home grown Some fruit plants they cannot sell them in Arizona and California. Where did you get them. Please give me the store details Thanks.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Most of the trees in this video are from Greenlife by Shamus O'Leary in Phoenix AZ.

[@ThirdCoastGardening]

nice collection.

[@FallofftheMap]

I’m surprised about avocados and too much sun. I grow fuerte avocados in the mountains in Ecuador. Super intense sun here. The Avocados love it.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

The summer sun in Arizona is more brutal than any place I've ever visited. I recently read Dune, and I generally treat the sun here similarly (fortunately we have more water).

[@FallofftheMap]

@@TouchGrassGardening I’m sure it’s intense but it’s hard to imagine it’s more intense that at an altitude of 8000’ 11km from the equator. Here, I get sunburned through my shirt if I’m out in the sun for more than a couple hours. It’s possible the varieties of fuerte and Hass avocados we grow here have been selectively bred to tolerate intense sun. Much like you, I’m collecting as many unusual and rare fruit trees as I can on my little farm. Have you considered trying to grow any of the varieties of custard apple (chirimoya) or Chilean coconuts?)

[@TouchGrassGardening]

@@FallofftheMap You must be reading my mind because I just planted a Cherimoya yesterday. As for the heat, if you visit Phoenix in your travels I would love to know how it compares to where you're at now. I visited Peru in the summer once, and it wasn't too bad at all. The issue for us is our temperatures get very high too, whereas on the equator the temps are generally around 100 (we get up to ~120). Also higher altitudes generally have lower temps (and more beautiful views)!

[@FallofftheMap]

@@TouchGrassGardening ah, now i understand, it’s more of a heat issue than just intensity of sunlight. My area has mild temperatures because of the altitude, typically mid 70s.

[@FallofftheMap]

@@TouchGrassGardening I would love to chat and share information about what works there vs what works here. There’s definitely some crossover, but here we never freeze and never get hot. The sun is about as intense as you will find anywhere in the world but the heat and cold are not. Avocados love this climate, as do chirimoya, tree tomato, various stone fruit… peaches, nectarines, etc… tomatoes and peppers struggle here for lack of a long hot summer days, but rocoto peppers thrive. Various types of passionfruit do well here, especially badea and taxo. In curious to know what works and does not work there because it will help me understand the challenges and solutions that work here.

[@VicTheflyingDentist]

So beautiful 😍I’d love to see the garden flourish. I’m not sure about the weather conditions, but would love to see more mangoes varieties, maybe try growing Olives and citrus fruits . How about almonds and walnuts too 😊. We had a mango tree (an Indian variety called Dassahera, which was super juicy), a few papaya trees, a Lychee tree, a lemon tree (seedless variety), grapes (a very sweet green seedless variety), and a Chiku/Sapota (not sure the English names), at our house in India. I love the loquats 😊

[@RepentanceGarden]

Chiku/Sapota we call Sapodilla here in the states. AMAZING FRUIT 🤤

[@honemorrison4013]

Hi I live in the San Diego area and have pretty much the same collection as you albeit a little more mature I'm impressed with how green your foliage is with no sign of tip burn I assume we both have basically Colorado water I am growing my Mangoes fairly close together as the chance of them getting really big here is minimal best of luck with your garden

[@Brilliogarden]

Did you see your area selling Jack, Amala and Longan plants.

[@Brilliogarden]

I live in LA

[@honemorrison4013]

I haven't been shopping in a while as something has to go for anything new But there are several nurseries here that sell a wide variety Exotica is probably the oldest but there is also Ong nursery and California Tropical Fruit Tree

[@dianadeller7579]

Try growing a jujube tree please? That’s my favorite 🥰🙏

[@TouchGrassGardening]

I have 8 varieties of jujube :) Will do a video this autumn

[@alinebrandau3982]

Lovely!!!!

Very nice keep doing what you do bro!!

Thank you brother.

[@Brilliogarden]

Excellent video and very useful I do the same thing in California

[@ramk2443]

I am from south east india , we have the same temperatures as Arizona im the summer. Jackfruit and mango will do fine as long as you occasionally water them But we dont have freezing winters , you must be taking so much care to keep them alive

[@rg2613]

having a heater and cover for these trees in the winter seems a little to much. also, what happens with they get bigger?

[@TouchGrassGardening]

They will bear fruit while less than 10 ft tall, so I can keep them reasonably small through pruning. I agree though.. it's a bit much, so needs to be a labour of love.

[@gramermanush1279]

mind blowing

[@kumarputtappa6507]

Sir it's Alfonso from India.. worlds second tastiest mango variety... Also buy J33 jack variety ... The best one I have ever tasted.. best than Eviarc

[@sonotaps]

Hello. Nice collection! Did you amend the soil for Jackfruit? I have 5 to plant in East Valley. I’m on flood as well. I read they need good drainage. Thank you.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Yes I amended about 2ft x 2ft x 2ft. I think jackfruit is relatively vigorous even in our soil if you give it enough water. I will be eager to hear about your experience planting 5 of them - keep me up to date!

[@tonyxeru8260]

Jaboticaba is the only fruit in your yard that i have not tasted. Good luck with it. I put Amonium Sulfate on my trees every month to make them taller. 😊

[@TerriVillero]

Lovely video. May I ask where you bought the jackfruit tree?

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Thank you! I got it from GreenLife in Phoenix AZ

[@monaviv3402]

Hello, do you use city water to irrigate your trees? I have heard using city treated water kills good bacteria on the soil. Thanks

[@TouchGrassGardening]

We have flood irrigation so it helps wash out all the chemicals/salts... but I water with city water in-between irrigation.

[@IamMySelf7872]

grocery manggo always pick old mango before ripe. most give bland sweet taste. but home grown mango pick when its ripe, give you complex sweet sour taste

[@EstrellaGarden]

Todo muy lindo :3

[@3936warren]

I am in Arizona and would love to try growing some of these trees. Where can you get these cuttings/fruit trees ? Thanks.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Most of my tropical trees are from Greenlife by Shamus O’Leary in Phoenix, and Tropica Mango nursery in Mesa. They will also give you great advice when you talk to them.

[@3936warren]

Wow!!! Thank you so much. I had no idea they are available here in Phoenix. Much appreciated!

[@phoenixtyce7561]

Can you grow Sapodilla and Dragon fruit in Arizona?

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Yes absolutely. You just have to be careful of the sun with dragon fruit, it can fry in our summers.

[@ashalam5239]

What kind of fertilizer do you use for your plant

[@rxlemon-lime2335]

you have every tree that my grandfather had here in Miami, Florida. Do you know someone from the Caribbean? seems like you have a lot of fruits that we enjoyed growing up here in South Florida.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

I don't know anyone from the Caribbean, but maybe in a past life! I just really enjoy tropical fruits and am lucky we can grow many here where I live.

[@nuroldemirbag2798]

Do you cover your fruit trees in winter time

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Yes, you can find my previous video on how I protect my lychee.

[@chamatkaribaba884]

Rambhutan is also like lychee and longon

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Yes true, but it is more cold sensitive. I enjoy the taste, but it will be a very attention hungry plant for me to grow here!

Are you on flood irrigated yard?

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Yes, but we are getting less and less with the water reductions to QC. Only 1 so far this year.

[@ArizonaFruitTrees]

@@TouchGrassGardening This part really messes people in AZ up. Flood irrigated yards are the same as Florida. 1% of yards are flood irrigated. People really want to grow these trees also, but they wont be able to do what you have. I always try to point that out to people so they know the struggle is real..........

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@Linda-nb3hp]

Dont let those trees grow too tall.... The jackfruit, starfruits and mangoes need to be wrap...to get a very good quality of fruit (to avoid being sting by insects)

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Good point. I will definitely be wrapping up the fruit as it sets.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Fresh fruit is the best!

[@dncviorel]

Now why would you plant a mango tree and a jackfruit 6 ft. apart?! 🙃

[@dncviorel]

@UberGastronomer Exactly!

[@TouchGrassGardening]

It really depends on your climate. In Arizona tropical trees rarely get as large as they do in their native regions. I've yet to see a mango over 15 feet tall in my area, but if that comes to pass it is a problem I welcome :)

[@ramk2443]

​@@TouchGrassGardeningalmost all mango trees will grow tall if given enough time and sun

[@ja4luke]

Not likely in phoenix arizona. Plenty of sun obviously. Our heat will burn up a mango. Plus we get into 20s in winter. Soil is another obstacle. I have 3 mango trees 10+ years in ground and just like this guy said tallest one is like 15 feet.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

@@ja4lukewould love to see those 10 yr old mangos. Congrats!

[@ashalam5239]

Very slow I have one for 4 years . No luck yet

[@lcglazer]

Longan the word is broken up as long an. The "long" is pronounced the way you already are, "an" is like "ahn". or how you would say "Anna" in Spanish.

[@lcglazer]

depending where your wife/gf is from I'm sure she can help you with the pronunciation

[@TouchGrassGardening]

Thanks! What language is this influenced from? Mostly I use the Mandarin Chinese 龙眼 (long yan) when I am at home with my family, so how to say it properly in English has never been really thought much about.

[@lcglazer]

@@TouchGrassGardening Cantonese. Most Chinese words are translated from Cantonese because of its earliest exposure to English speakers. Such as the word Peking, the Cantonese phonetization of Beijing.

[@TouchGrassGardening]

@@lcglazer Great point - thank you!

[@BerandonAttar]

that jack fruit is too close to another fruit plant I think

[@TouchGrassGardening]

If it gets big enough, I will welcome such a problem! But generally tropicals tend to be much smaller in my area and grow slowly.

it's Cempedak

[@haladraj]

I dont want to kill you with a heart attack. But 10 mangos?! Really? In qurayyat in Oman an average tree produce up to 1000 kilos. Yes, thats one ton.
