Sampling Exotic Fruit On An Avocado Farm

My wife and I take an evening walk around our grove to see if there's anything ready to pick from our private stash. Then we stop and have our dinner of:
Maritious Lychee
Mahachanook Mango
Edward Mango (or maybe coconut cream but I'm leaning toward Edward)
Seedling Mango
Hog Plum
We also picked two varieties of sapodilla one of which is Makok and the other I'm not sure, maybe Alano?

I was hoping that you would eat makok.

[@SleepyLizard]

who are you addressing that comment to?

[@gadielgomez2709]

Man, don't ever make another video without her.

[@SleepyLizard]

She did a great job and both of us had such a head cold!

[@A55-s9d]

How long do I have to watch this, for the video to be monetized?

[@SleepyLizard]

I'm not sure how that works.

[@lorenbush8876]

I hope you had a better year for avocados than you did mangoes. Paul from fruitful Trees said a lot of people had a bad mango year, I was hoping and praying you would all have a great harvest. Will lychees grow well in containers?

[@SleepyLizard]

yeah it was rough for a lot of people. Avocado crop looks real good just a tad behind is all

[@drduandada4218]

Anyone craving mango’s and such after watching this video? This guys brilliant ❤

[@SleepyLizard]

me! 🤣

Avocado question My 3-year-old from seed tree bloomed this year. And boy did it bloom, and it has set tons of fruit. Right now, they're. anywhere from a BB to the size of a kidney bean. I know you must wait until the oils come in before you pick them, but how long does it usually take for an avocado fruit.to get to maturity and can be picked.?

[@SleepyLizard]

Hi Babette, It's different for each variety and since seed grown are unique you have to figure it out using the method I discuss in this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXeYiGeEZ7aKhZYsi=AaUjGXU289RnAaj9

[@khanitthanank7982]

My favourite mangos are Ok-rong tong, Mahachanok and Namdokmai. I would love to visit your orchard and buy some of your fruits when I have a chance to go to the US. By the way, you guys are such a cute couple!

[@SleepyLizard]

thank you and yes if you ever get to the US please visit

[@sedition517]

My brother, I missed the opportunity to get those grafted trees that sawyer did for his college fund. Any chance maybe a tree or two available. I'm in homestead I would love to check out your farm if it's available to the public.

[@SleepyLizard]

if you're local then yes come by and you can see what I have...that said there's other nurseries here that hands down have better selection. my contact info is in the about section of the channel

[@monokendo]

This year, my mango tree has its first Palmer mango. It looks like one, but I still don't know the flavor yet since it was grown from seed.

[@SleepyLizard]

congratulations on your first fruiting and please come back and let us know how it tastes

[@MasterKenfucius]

My sapodillas are ready to pick when there is very little sap coming out of it. I don't scratch them anymore. I just wiggle it a bit from side to side. If the tree lets it go, then it's definitely ready.

[@SleepyLizard]

yes that is another technique

[@marcuswelby921]

Will you be bringing some avocados to taste and sell at MangoFest????

[@SleepyLizard]

Hi Marcus, i won't be there, sorry about that. The way this season is going I don't know if my earlies will be ready by June 30.

[@ALFORDACRESFARM]

Towels? We lick our hands!

[@SleepyLizard]

That works too.

[@ramirodiazguerrero2723]

"Hog plums" serán las jobas de aquí? O serán las que llamamos ciruelas quedé con la incógnita de igual manera ambas son sabrosas

[@SleepyLizard]

no se. estos me regalan una amiga. me dijo que se llaman hog plums y por accidente dije June plum

[@rynophiliac]

coconut cream variety is in fact polyembryonic seed

I have one key lime left. over the years I've lost about 15 other citrus to sickness and hurricane Irma.

[@SoulSeeker770]

@SleepyLizard thank you sir!

[@haxmaster6718]

Tomorrow when I wake up and have lunch, I will have a look around the neighborhood, searching for other mango varieties, then I will graft it to the 50+ year old mango tree that stands outside my house.

[@SleepyLizard]

Good luck on your search and I hope your neighbors give you some nice cuttings

[@haxmaster6718]

@@SleepyLizard Hey Tom, I have a question, have you ever had a mango tree who still carries fruit but no flowers despite the season being already over? My mango tree is like that, all the same variety in my neighborhood has already stopped carrying fruit, mine is still carrying hundreds.

[@SleepyLizard]

@@haxmaster6718 no. I've never seen fruit occur with no flowers.

June plum when it turn yellow it’s ripe, I don’t know about this red one

I meant to say hog plum. I goofed.

We will

[@davidmathibe9220]

Can you graft an avocado on mango tree?

[@SleepyLizard]

Hi David, good question and the answer is no, grafting has to be done within species

[@davidmathibe9220]

@@SleepyLizard thanks 😊 sir for replying because I was confused to see a lot of people on KZbin from Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia fusing many plants of different species and wondered whether it's true or false, now I'm satisfied with your answer 😀 😊 .

When are mangos shipping? Pre-order on May 23rd. when price was still 60$.

[@SleepyLizard]

I sent the last of the pre-orders yesterday and you are getting Mahachanook which is a specialty variety. Yours are on the way. the $50 price is for Tommy which is in higher supply thus the lower market price.

[@dmatcardoug2986]

Oh man Tom: Love those mangoes. Maha Chanook is one of my favorites. I love the Lychees too!

[@SleepyLizard]

it was a delicious dinner!

[@Wolf-kh5rp]

I did it! My FIRST graft!

[@SleepyLizard]

Yes!

[@Wolf-kh5rp]

@@SleepyLizard Instead of using grafting tape, I used normal clear tape because of its availability, hopefully it takes off and give me fruits soon!

[@Wolf-kh5rp]

@@SleepyLizard I grafted two varieties on the mango tree, Pico mango, and Apple mango, so if it survives, then I'll have three varieties growing on one tree!
