The COOLEST, high density tropical fruit forest in Phoenix, Arizona

[@mikeramos5709]

Thumbs up if you're growing tropical fruit trees in your backyard! 🌴🍊🍇🍍🏡

[@claimhsolais3466]

I'm deeply touched by the mango tree story. I'm also glad that people still value some things, that most other seem to have forsaken.

[@taramansion]

One thing I learned from you is protect baby trees. I plant pigeon peas next to new trees. They grow at least 6 ft in one season and provide N, soil stabilization, and shade to the tree!

[@tarabartholomew1882]

We bought a mango tree from Shamus 2 summers ago, and it's growing beautifully on the south side of our house in old town Scottsdale. It's 2ft from a block wall, I tented it in winter, and it's now budding!

[@markbarton27]

Shamus and Jake, this was one of the best videos I have watched in a long time. Thank you for filming this and letting us see her beautiful yard. It is inspiring and humbling at the same time. I really enjoyed your pontificating right around minute 11. (paraphrased): "Your water bill replaces your psychologist bill. Take a look at the big picture and spend time in your garden with nature". This was really awesome, thanks!

[@shamusoleary2139]

Thank you

[@TexasTexan]

I planted 2 mango 🥭 seeds 2 months ago and 10 avocado 🥑 seeds they are my pride n joy ☺️

[@theuglykwan]

I planted a pomelo tree as a kid. After a few decades my parents threw it out when they moved.

[@GodIsLove447]

How are they doing now?

[@Martianista]

Actually, the wall has been compromised a bit: you can see the blocks slightly separating right above Jake's head when he squats. My neighboor's pine tree lifted a section of our shared wall by almost a foot. My hypothesis is that it was due to superficial watering. I planted several trees inches from the fence, including a jacaranda tree a foot off the wall and consistently deep watered it and the wall is intact.

[@islandnessa]

Awe inspiring video! So beautiful to see these gorgeous Mango trees thriving in Phoenix, Arizona!

[@ih82r8]

You are men after my own heart!!! I love tropicals and this is a big deal for the rest of us who want tropicals in Phoenix.

[@chickentender4037]

I just found this and I have to echo Mark Barton's comment - Jake, your best video and Shamus, love the spiritual aspect of this lady's garden. The spiritual side of things is so often missing in videos, even where it's clear that there's a lot of love for what the presenter is doing. I love and appreciate the that you are both so comfortable in talking about it and the woman''s wonderful relationship with her mother. So much joy in this vid.

[@joansmith3492]

Wow. Fantastic trees. Many people say trees grown from seed are hardier because they have better stronger tap roots. You could make a case for that in this ladies yard.

[@annemarielucas5561]

Jake and Shamus. The dynamic duo!! 😄👌Thanks guys.

[@donnacordova21]

Drove past this house.the other day and you can see the mangoes just filling the huge trees

[@teriruiz8292]

Amazing trees, super fun video! Thrilled to see Shamus again too :)

[@69juamex]

Excellent yard and how lovely to see a tree that is not command in your area, grow, flower and give fruit.

[@redsky7238]

Love the story behind these trees as well as the trees themselves.

[@rios4175]

I love trees especially fruit trees awesome video

[@ih82r8]

It's Squaw Peak Jake...it will always be Squaw Peak!!!

[@cordellscott]

Yes it is. I hate that they tried to change the name.

[@ju6cr]

Truly touched by the story behind those trees! Amazing!

[@lenkomsa4521]

What a fantastic video. I've watched it 4 times.

[@Hissage]

Thank you for posting the video . A wonderful place to connect with nature .

[@raistmajere995]

All I can say is wow!!!

[@jordanbabcock9349]

Nice work guys, hope you keep the videos coming!

[@jorgeespinoza3150]

Even after this horrible winter of 2018, Phoenix had a great temperature range, even compared to Houston and even most of Florida! Can't beat 34° in Phoenix when it is 21° in west Houston! Count y'alls blessings Phoenix, we had to cover and heat all our mangos and tropicals! 😉😉

[@Liger_333]

Two of my favorite SHOW on earth.

[@aron8949]

best video ever, I watch this on a regular basis.

LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for taking the video and sharing this with us! I have a mango growing from seed in the ground from my compost pile next to my Carrie Mango too. This is super inspiring.

This is awesome guys. What a great find, and thanks for taking the time to make a video of it.

[@jonasdubaere8999]

holy !!!!! thats incredible that this is possible, thanks for this video it's unbelievable they withstand frst and thrive!

[@Menelyagor12]

"The wall has not been compromised at all." Look to the right side and there is a nice 1/4inch gap where the wall was raised most likely from the roots lol.

[@theuglykwan]

Exactly, I was like how did they not notice that.

[@zeissmanzeissman5852]

I love Mango ! fantastic video.

[@stephanieberning2856]

[@buyerofsorts]

This is the fourth time I've watched this video. I must be one of "those".... :) :) :)

[@biglou4452]

That must be a special lady:') Great job guys on the video:')

[@michaelstoddard1606]

Not to be a Debby Downer, but that wall is somewhat compromised by the mango as you can see through the cracks in the joints at the 8:40 mark. Less than I would have thought, but there is some lifting going on there. It is encouraging to see that it's minor compared to the size of the tree, but the wall could use some work to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

[@emilystevens7837]

Maybe the garbage man caused it, and thats why he requested she trim her trees in the alley. :)

[@roberthuffman4354]

WHAT A TEAM YOU BOTH ARE

[@aaronchandler2380]

Yes I do enjoy your videos! I am working hard on growing food in my yard. I am going to try and plant a Carrie mango in a container and see how that works out. Thanks!

[@TheBeardedGardener]

Man those trees look amazing

[@venus20131]

Thank you for sharing those amazing mango trees, you gave me hope, most people tell me if I grow them from seeds, They won't bare fruit . Thank you so much!!

[@benevolentdictator2315]

Great video and lesson in growing these tropical plants in Phoenix.

[@alexcontreras6103]

Awesome video!!!

[@melbournesubtropicfruits9474]

Would love to see a post summer update on pre harvest fruit on this Ladys Mango trees. Even a TASTE test would be cool. Does she compost the Avos pre flower leaf drop for the compost/mulch under tree as I just leave to naturally compost under mine. Also i did notice that her mangos have lifted the bricks in the fence - only 3 or 4mm but enough to keep an eye on.

[@paulahardiman2261]

Thank you for your video and sharing with all of us here on KZbin I sure appreciate all the information that you have given me on growing thing almost there in Phoenix and I can't not wait to visit there and I'll be there in July 24th thank you so much

[@floraandfaunab8855]

Nice. I got my two orchid trees in my front yard that are more than 30 years old.

[@myjakpntami]

Shamus - I watched the video called "How to Grow Tropical Fruit Trees in a Desert Garden" posted by "Learn Organic Gardening at GrowingYourGreens ." Where you both tasted the Carrie, Coconut Cream, Kesar and Cotton Candy Mango varieties. My question is: Can I buy fruit or seeds from any of these Mango trees you sell to attempt sprouting and planting from seed? I realize this takes much longer to get mature enough to bear fruit but I am wondering if most of the reason why this lady next to Piestewa Peak had such success growing large and well established trees is because she started each of them from seed. I live in Mesa, AZ by the way and have wanted to grow Mangos and Acerolas and Avocados and many other trees I used to see all the time in Brasil where I served a mission a quarter century ago. I just discovered you and your friends who are successfully doing this in our area. BLESS YOU ALL!!!

[@GreeniesGarden]

BEAUTIFUL! :D

[@jodiethuy4122]

Great forest! I wish I could have 1 big mango tree! I wonder how she harvest the fruits

[@armandodelgado3342]

Jodie Thuy i compost all my fruit directly in the ground, no enclosure, here in Florida, the seeds just sprout on their own. No harvesting , no prepping.

[@anthonyivanaglugubjr.2645]

Yes Vegan Athlete You Can Bring Your Shamus to Hollywood As Your Fruit Tree SideKick. And Your Erica is a Hollywood Love Team Caliber.

[@TSIRHCSEVAS]

best video set up intro

[@powellgammill4265]

Since these are multigenerational avocado and mango seedlings their seeds may make very good adapted seedlings for rootstock in our soils. Since the original tree was planted in her mother's honor perhaps her mother's name on the seedling rootstock.... just thinking out loud

[@myjakpntami]

I hope Shamus sees your comment and starts propagating new trees from this ladies stock! I agree that this could be a great bridge to well adapted avocado and Mango trees here in the Arizona Desert!

[@Jasfras1]

COOL !

[@azdogs]

Great stuff love it. Awesome story to go with it.

[@fortmyersfruitforest5214]

Beautiful fruit trees

[@ernie-zm7xq]

The fence is cracked behind and to the right of the tree . Light can be seen thru the cracks. My neighbors monster bottle tree has cracked my fence I the same way. As the roots thicken, they lift up on the fence.

[@paulgolub6480]

the wall has a large crack in it...looks like the root pushed it up from the bottom. i would give it at least a few feet, and definitely would mulch aswell, but overall looks good

[@moniquemonicat]

Impressive!

[@1voluntaryist]

If the trees are not pruned how is the fruit picked? Wait for it to drop?

[@edgeofthelawngarden3496]

Cool orchard.

[@davidchapman871]

The wall is not made with half inch between blocks. So the wall is compromised with the close proximity of the trees to the wall. The video is awesome but need to plant away from the wall about 10 or more.

[@spicytrinirice]

oh snap Jake from off grid

[@maxvanmus4299]

wow...

[@brianmoe5284]

I wouldn’t mind driving from California during mango seasons to help eat the mangoes from these trees. 😂

The size of the road in that cul de sac is the size of my entire cul de sac lol.

those trees are awesome but how would she even harvest them?

[@davidkelly4210]

With a harvesting stick.

[@herselolmos8141]

During the summer how often do you recommend watering mango trees ? Southern California

[@fallingleaveskungfu]

awesome.

[@centpushups]

should plant low light ferns and vegetation under the tree

[@sueg2658]

I have watched lots of your videos, but so far I have not seen you mention how to harvest these fruits. How in the world are they harvested in such large trees? Thanks.

[@jetskijay1955]

Sue G mangos tend to fall off the tree when ripe.

[@Lppt87]

You use a tool, is a fruit picker, you can easily make one with a soda plastic bottle, you just cut the bottle half in zigzag, and put the opening in a long stick, that way you can easily cut the steam, and pick the fruit without falling to the ground and getting ruined. Good luck.

[@parvathitiruviluamala9870]

Hi Shamus. I live in Poway..a San Diego suburb. Zone 9B. Do the same conditions apply as in Phoenix ? I REALLY want to grow a mango tree in my backyard. Also, how can I order the famous soil of yours ? Thank you.

[@sophiafunworldatthepark6740]

how these mango trees do during this year winter?

[@colombianoman4426]

The trees that you guys are growing are amazing I cannot understand how they are growing in your extreme climate you say just have good nutrients proper watering and care but I've done all of those and I always lose my avocado trees the frost never fails to destroy the leaves on my avocado tree can you please get more in-depth on how you protect the leaves of the avocado tree and the mango tree

[@mikeramos5709]

Place your tropical trees near a wall or structure wirh sun that faces the south side and always protect the young trees from wind by putting a tarp on. This only applies to winter.

[@sned1011]

ah!!, growing from seed is the key to growing avocados trees in Phoenix

[@armandodelgado3342]

That’s good real estate although some people would cut it all down.😡
