Hello friend so amazing graden you have many plants.

[@UrbanBounty]

Hello there, thanks for watching. Yes I squeezed in as many plants as possible

What a wonderful garden, love to see it in real life one day.

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks Sang La😀, no problem. 👍

[@nirep2]

Hey mate, love your whole set up and very tidy! Curious did your bacon set many fruit? Mine missed out altogether. Perhaps a unusual cool spring spoiled fruitset

[@UrbanBounty]

Hi mate, thanks. My bacon hasnt set fruit yet, it hung on to one fruitlet this year and dropped it. Have you had fruit on yours before?

[@nirep2]

@@UrbanBounty , i successfully picked 2 bacon fruits last year and was expecting double figures this year but nothing...My reed of similar size to bacon tree had 9 fully developed fruit last season and this year looks to be 5 hanging on. I was impressed with the quality of bacon fruit

[@UrbanBounty]

Good to know bacon is high quality. Thanks heaps for the reply 👍

Beautiful lush greenery garden… your hard works really definitely pays off! It’s hard to tell on the Jujube because there are so many varieties out there these days, but Li generally has large oval shape fruits and tends to grow tall/upright on a single stem while the Chico has more of a zig-zag bushy growth pattern and the fruit is rounder with a pleasant sweet & sour taste. Also nice one on the Lychee that is fruiting and will be the envy of other growers in Melbourne - I personally find it is worthy to pay a little extra to get a larger establish tree so that it has more of a chance to survive your cold temperate winter weather 🙂

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks heaps mate, I boughtthe jujube as a Li from a reputable seller snd upright form is better for my space but last years fruit resembled the Chico so I'll have to wait and see this year. Cheers

Thank you very much 😀

Best looking food garden I've ever seen Paul, in a few years a lot of those subtropical trees will be giving you fruit.

[@UrbanBounty]

Gday Doug thanks heaps, I cant wait for them to really take off. The garden wont look as neat when the trees fill out properly but thats always been the plan

[@sydneyfruitgardening]

Great update! I’ve got a lot of the same trees but your a couple of years ahead I think. Kampong looks good, lychee is amazing, my persimmon has had a very quiet year too, only one fruit! But my tree is smaller. What do you feed your bananas?

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks mate. We put the bananas near our outdoor dining and cooking so we can throw all the green and vegetable offcuts under them, also mulched with sugar cane and about 3 heavy feeds of blood and bone every year.

[@UrbanBounty]

Yes mate they grow well here

[@marksmtalent]

@@UrbanBounty very nice

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

That's the perfect garden you've created Paul. Black sapote can take full sun and unprotected cold at my place.

[@UrbanBounty]

H George, thanks and yes regarding the black sapote at your house, I've always scratched my head about that because it's obvious yours are thriving in full sun but if I remove shade on mine they instantly lose all leaves and stems turn black. Maybe the variety.

[@tropicalfruitsofmothernatu4440]

Sensational mate your garden is looking awesome

Wow your tropical fruit garden looks amazing. Everything looks so healthy and lots of fruits already. Love the drone introduction. Great job.👌

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks very much my friend 😀

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Looking good - my Miracle fruit fruited in an all day dappled shade spot - then died following winter inside. Mangoes do well in pots here - video coming soon - lots of fruit im hoping.

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks Mark Cant wait to see your mangoes mate!

[@andrewpinto1778]

Great job. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching all your plants, very relaxing and entertaining.

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks heaps for the encouragement Andrew! My pleasure

[@mumanddadsbackyardorchard5680]

Awesome layout. Love it. Wish I had the variety that you've planted out here, with a strong tropical theme. Keep the videos coming.

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks heaps guys! 👍I appreciate the encouragement

[@ak7633]

Need a video on maintenance regime mate 😊

[@UrbanBounty]

Will do. Do you mean like fertilising, watering, pests, pruning etc? Now that I know the regime seems to be working out ok I could do one of those. Cheers

[@ak7633]

Yes, all that 😊

[@BloggerEngineer]

@@UrbanBounty Beautiful and healthy looking garden. I'd also love to see your fertilizer, watering routine.

[@UrbanBounty]

Thank you very much. I've been thinking about this and it's a hard one to describe because it's not really a regime, I just do things as needed, if I see yellowing I'll add epsom salts, if I see a growth flush I'll add blood and bone. I could do some vids on individual plant types starting with avocado 🥑

[@0anant0]

Absolutely amazing -- the design, the layout, the precision! Wonderful array of tropical and sub-tropical plants!

[@UrbanBounty]

Thanks heaps for the encouragement mate! Cheers
