Got Some New Favourite Fruit Trees in the Mail | What Where Why?

[@foggiatofam5]

We had a kumquat tree we hated at first. Then our neighbor from Vietnam showed us something amazing. She cooked the kumquat and soaked them in honey. They are a natural remedy for allergies. And they taste amazing now. Give the kumquat another chance.

[@VK-qo1gm]

That sounds good, what do you cook the kumquats in initially? water & then soak in honey for how long & how to store. Would appreciate the info, we too have a Kumquat & not to appealing, thankyou

[@andersdottir1111]

They make a delicious jam just google for a recipe. Squeeze one into water for a refreshing drink.

[@faithsfarmlife1424]

You are lucky to have her for a neighbor . Their food is amazingly delicious

[@thesettalers1051]

No kamquat gives you second chance to like itself

[@dk2614]

There are two main types of Kumquats. Nagami which is oblong in shape the skins are sweet but flesh is sour then the other type is Meiwa which is evenly round and sweet both skin and flesh. Meiwa is more difficult to find in cultivation but sounds like it's worth it.

[@donfinch862]

Here's one. Rootstock shooting below the graft. Rub it off if you see it early enough, even then cut the bark with a knife to remove the flourishing bark/cambrian. Larger shoots cut off flush and trim like a carpenter building a piece of furniture to remove any raised spot that will shoot again. Doesn't matter if bark is missing, it'll grow over. Luv yer work Mark

You named some delicious fruits there. Yum.

[@lucianas4919]

I like eating all of those as well, but it’s difficult to find them where I live. Especially ones that are good quality.

[@youknowwhatidontknow3461]

Longan quite hard to plant tho. Maybe because i doesn't have much knowledge. Only one out of 7 seed. But that one still living till now and it's getting bigger. Well it's only 3 month tho but i kinda like small plant like that.

[@dylanzrim3635]

Longan wood makes great cooking fuel. So even if it grows large but doesn’t bear fruit you’ll have fragrant timber

I been buying 2 fruit or 2 nut trees every week when we get paid, have a nice food forest going in to the future (in our house yard).

[@johu788]

I have seen bad reviews from them lately… apparently the quality has changed. Has made me sceptical to buy

[@catey62]

I'm guessing they have an online store you can order from? I live in S.A. so would be good to check them out, see what they have and maybe buy a couple plants from them.

[@jakejeffries2770]

Unfortunately the 2 trees that mark purchased where not originally from daleys, daleys have purchased them at wholesale from other nurseries (lychee from arbour Grove, lime from B.W.P) then resale them as there own. The stock that are actually produced at daleys are lesser quality, there grafting technique needs improving. The dragon Fruit cuttings were most likely cuttings from there own stock.

I'm a long time gardener that took a bit of a break from gardening to raise a family and run a business but now that the kids are a bit older and with current times being a little tough I've decided to start growing again. Your tips and tricks are inspiring so much so that I've decided to purchase 5 of Birdies raised garden beds based on your recommendations. Can't wait for them to get here and start my new journey of being more self sufficient! Cheers

[@Natalieleu]

Hay Mark, you can make a cover for your tree by making a "box" shape out of 1.5" PVC Pipe, strong enough to keep critters out, cover with a good netting and stake it to the ground. I also attach the netting to the pipe with zip ties. Works pretty good. Might work for you 😉

I love that you're growing Lychee! It's one of my favorite fruits, even though it takes a lot of work to eat. You'll also get a ton of leaf mulch from it, which we all know is a HUGE PLUS! Thanks for sharing!

[@SpiritOfTheHeretic]

I am so jealous of your growing environment. It gets down to about -7 C here in the winter and it makes it hard to grow most perennials. The only exceptions I've found so far are berries and jujube. I tried an Owari Satsuma citrus that was supposed to be tolerant of my winter and it did well through several snows and even an ice storm, but died instantly when the temperature dropped into the extremes. I still get a great harvest of annual vegetables and fruits though 👍

[@Holodomor4.0]

You can’t insulate them somehow like putting a big plastic sheet over them or something?

[@Holodomor4.0]

Or building a green house and growing dwarf fruit varieties?

[@uschiaala]

I just had a box from Daleys about a week ago, so exciting. The trees were bigger than I expected and super healthy. Will definitely buy from them again. Dangerous website though 😅😂 Next on my wishlist is kiwiberry - I love kiwi but not a huge fan of the skin. I've recently discovered kiwiberry and I am HOOKED. Grape sized kiwi with no fuzz? Amazing. Definitely high on my priority list after I get my edible hedge sorted.

[@Chrazzari]

Could've written this myself. Absolutely love that site, was really keen to get the into kiwi berries also. So many different fruit trees though, many I've never even heard of.

[@zarathean8758]

not all kiwi are fuzzy, i think anna and issa are smooth green skin (similar to baby kiwi/kiwiberry)

These can be cultivated in cold areas like Chicago.

[@D71219ONE]

You have given me hope! I don’t use my small backyard for much and most of it is weeds with a little grass here and there anyway, so this year I’m going to try to grow pumpkins and melons all over it. A few people told me I wouldn’t produce anything with it competing with grass, but you’ve given me hope that I might get some!

[@redrangerrr558]

Some advice, be sure to cut the grass frequently before planting to prevent the grass growing too big and transplant saplings that are at least twice as tall as the cut grass so they don't get shadowed by it, the faster the grass grows the higher you want the sapling to be so the grass doesn't grow to cover it, after all, once you plant the saplings you won't be able to strim the grass without damaging your plants anymore.

[@4D2M0T]

My pumpkins grew just fine over my lawn this year, mowed the lawn down real low when planted and they took over the lawn once I harvested all the pumpkin I just mowed over trhe vine and the lawn returned in a few weeks. Have fun happy gardening

[@Amanda-kw1vi]

Oh it will take over if you let it, it should grow big enough before the grass gets too tall if you have a transplant. Just be careful the vines have tiny spikes, not to painful but better with gloves

[@chezmoi42]

@@redrangerrr558 Great advice for fruit trees, but pumpkins and melons don't care about the grass length, as long as they have a nice soil mound to start from. I always let a couple go in my mature compost pile.
