Planting Kola Nuts

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

Good to see the Good

[@moealshaibani914]

You never told or showed us the result of the Kola Nut. Did you manage to get it grow? Heard only grow in tropical places especially Africa. Please share because I am planning to plant one

[@QueenSha555]

Did you achieve?

[@c.j.rogers2422]

Pete Kanaris planted Kola nuts. 30 day later the fully grown trees were overloaded with sealed cans of Coke, Coke Classic, and Diet Coke, all on the same tree. With no water or fertilizer.

[@davidthegood]

Pete Kanaris is truly a god among men.

C. J. Rodgers LMFAO !!! Pete Kanaris for President !!! Make Gardening Great Again !!! LOL !!! BAHAHAHA !!!

[@karen-hillshomestead]

[@tantrictami]

Nice to see a little update. Thanks for the content! Still nurturing my mango trees I planted at your inspiration. They are looking as good as yours.

[@PrevailingPower]

Nice work. Any update on the cola you planted. Did they grow? Cheers

[@davidthegood]

Yes, they did - takes a month or two, but they grow.

[@hamlulit]

Any update on the Kola trees? did they sprout? did they die? please if alive do a follow-up video

[@davidthegood]

Yes - they are growing well. Couple feet tall. Not all that pretty now because it is the dry season.

[@hamlulit]

@@davidthegood Thanks! pLase Make a short video about them and their requirements It is a rear tree to find in the US . is it a fast grower? what is its lowest team it can handle? thanks!

[@LisaCupelli]

What are the like to eat?

[@davidthegood]

They have a crunch, like biting into an avocado pit. Then they taste like burned green beans mixed with cheap, bitter instant coffee crystals. After about five minutes of chewing, the flavor starts to sweeten.

[@LisaCupelli]

@@davidthegood well you said that in the video but I was wondering if they had "side effects"... I absolutely love the extreme nature of your description.... But are they silly beans? Thanks David! PS my cassava is growing nicely and my banana stand is beautiful! My malanga is going crazy and my miracle trees are spindly ...

[@davidthegood]

They make you feel great. Loaded with caffeine and theobromine (which is the stimulant in chocolate). Rather like drinking a strong mocha, but no crazier than that.

[@SupremeFamilyGarden]

Thanks for sharing my brother.

[@savana6773]

It's a great day for a DTG video! Nice beard.

[@jettyeddie_m9130]

Hello DTG !! Do your thing man good luck with everything

[@swalker157]

When is your box set coming out? You could call it encyclopedia Davanica, The Good encyclopedia, Totally crazy easy gardening box set?

[@davidthegood]

One day.

[@onionring1531]

I love coming across David The Good videos on accident when I'm looking for weird plants, your videos always give me the information I'm looking for.

[@karen-hillshomestead]

You're baaaaack!! Woohoo!

[@hockeyfan7b]

Nice you finally did it!

[@blainecelestaine4543]

Did the kola ever sprout and grow. What zone

[@florescobarte9535]

Um wieviel grad kann diese pflanzen überleben?

[@unsaltedtomato899]

awesome! So many plants!

[@vseslavkazakov356]

I am trying to grow a few kola plants from kola nuts right now. I was able to germinate 3 of them. What do I do now? any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[@FoodForesters]

Good update video! Lots of good looking plants. Glad to the build is going on strong! Kola nuts huh??!! May need to check that out for us 😁

[@davidthegood]

It's a really cool tree.

[@matthewkizziahcuzia...gott9632]

I enjoyed seeing your buckets of trees. Reminded me of mine.

[@hamlulit]

any update on the kola nuts

[@davidthegood]

They are growing well. Took 2 months to germinate.

[@Deee.mcb92]

Is there a part 2? Did this work?

[@davidthegood]

Yes, it did

[@jessecronnolly7781]

Yaaaay more gardening!

[@tytyvyllus8298]

I wonder how they were used for the original "medicinal" drinks. Were they powdered or crushed; used whole?

[@tytyvyllus8298]

I understand that fresh spruce tips (new growth in Spring) give a cola flavor when steeped.

[@davidthegood]

I wonder as well. Finding data has been quite difficult.

[@sgtblaylock]

I got one from the African store that already sprouted. Do you know if the stem that sprouted should be planted pointing up or pointing down? I would guess up but sometimes the roots generate first so I thought I would ask. Thanks

[@keaco73]

Hi, how long did it take for the kola nut to finally germinate?

[@davidthegood]

Maybe a month or two - not too long.

[@keaco73]

@@davidthegood cool. thanks for quick reply!

[@jeremiahmoyes8011]

Okay, is there a followup video? Did your nuts grow, if so how long did it take? I am starting some as well. Thank you.

[@davidthegood]

Yes. Took about a month.

[@hughbrackett343]

Ha-ha-ha--Maah-velous!

[@Blaculo]

Those poor koalas.

[@baddriversofcolga]

Were the kumquats started from seed? I look forward to updates on those.

[@davidthegood]

Yes, seed.

[@baddriversofcolga]

Nice! I look forward to seeing how much faster they grow than mine. :P

[@allanturpin2023]

You mentioned the second stimulant in kola nuts. Coca leaves likewise have a wide variety of active chemicals beyond just cocaine. These poor neglected stepchildren chemicals of plants never get the fanfare of their notorious brethren, but often play major roles in the traditional medicinal uses. Your little nursery looks ready to transform your new land.

[@davidthegood]

I agree. There are a lot of decent uses that get overshadowed by the major drug portion.

[@davidthegood]

And yes - the rain is starting to come. I'm going to film a food forest planting day before too long and plant almost everything.

[@allanturpin2023]

@@davidthegood- cool. Looking forward to it. Any thoughts on the next livestream? No pressure... just asking.

[@davidthegood]

I would like to do one soon, just have been tired out in the evenings.

[@allanturpin2023]

@@davidthegood- I understand. Take care.

[@sfc334]

When you do the Doctor Pepper peppers, please let us watch ;)

[@13orangecake]

It still contains coca leaf but the caine is taken out and sold to the pharm industry (for various uses) and replaced with caffeine. And I believe that kola is still part of the flavor and likely the caffeine also.

[@Swinju]

Hey David, what was the outcome of this ? Any success ?

[@davidthegood]

Yes. They are growing great. Took about 2 months to germinate.

[@esthelavallesmorales3773]

Hey David any videos of what the plant looks like? For the kola nut seeds you planted...cant wait to see them

[@mhcoastie2602]

At least Coca-Cola was originally organic :) The tall plant is Jack's bean stalk

[@QueenSha555]

Did you ever achieve a tree?

[@davidthegood]

Yes, they grew!

[@davidthegood]

Takes 2-3 months to sprout

[@angellabrown902]

It is goji berry

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Haha, I was wondering if you had found the old coke recipe over there living with the kingpins of plants in Columbiarica . Looking forward to the next book, “Grow Your Own Free Pharamecueticals”, but you will know how to spell better than I can with my dang, dyslexia. Yay, free energy seeds! I need to find them here. Lots of them.

I was expecting some kind of tip or trick to successful propagation. (edit) ***SPOILER ALERT*** DTG: [shoves seeds in potting soil]

[@TheGeekyChef1190]

SPOILERS!!!!

[@davidthegood]

You guys are the best.

[@geraldfranz9085]

Pete Kanaris could plant those seeds with his toes while filming the whole process with his drone, but that's how homeboy rolls !!! 😎👍🤣👍😎👍

[@robertlangley258]

Yeah, I find it mysterious that anyone can just put “any” seed in potting soil, walk away and come back to healthy live plants. Don’t think this is allowed, Mother Nature would be surely pissed off you didn’t suffer some first.

[@edulopes3310]

Essas sementes são sagradas para o culto Isese Lagba

[@robertlangley258]

Funny thing, I can put seeds in top of the line store bought potting soil, lightly water, keep in a cool shady spot for filtered light or inside under growlux lights or with a flat glass lid and viola!....nothing, not a damn thought of a sprout. Three weeks later I carefully remove soil little by little to find rotted or dried up use-to-be seeds. Are you sure your not buying these plants from somewhere secretly?

[@davidthegood]

Some potting soil just makes things rot.

[@BlackWhiteYanappu]

Those spiny things looks like some pereskia
