Yes! The house I grew up in had both strawberry and pineapple guava as shrubs next to the house, right outside my bedroom window. This was the 60s, we had AC & dad forbid us opening the windows. I loved popping my screen out, picking a handful of fruit and closing everything back up. Such a rebel. They were delicious.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Awesome! I would urge you to hold off until spring unless you’re in a very warm climate. If you get frosts and freezes, citrus should be planted after your last frost date in spring to give it maximum time to establish before it endures cold.

[@lindajustice2000]

Where do you recommend buying the peach and persimmon trees? And what are your plans for the olive tree? Are you going to process the olives? And can you recommend a dwarf fig tree that’s cold hardy?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

@@lindajustice2000 I don’t buy my trees from a particular supplier. There are countless good online nurseries. Other than Stan McKenzie for my citrus, I don’t have any recommendations. Find the variety you want, then find the nursery with the best stock and price. I don’t know what I’m going to do with the olives yet. I’ve never grown olives. I’ll probably brine and store them.

[@SumanBudde]

I am in Austin , Tx. What type of lime tree do you recommend for us to grow in our lawn ? and also any other fruits trees for our weather.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

No true lime is going to survive unprotected in Austin. Pretty much all true limes are tender to hard frosts. I'm growing a lime-kumquat hybrid called Excalibur Red Lime. That is hardy into the 8b/9a range and could grow in Austin with protection in the winter like I protect my citrus, for sure. However, it tastes like a mix of lime juice and orange juice, so it doesn't substitute perfectly for a lime, and the peel is sweet and edible like candy. If you want a true lime, you'd have to plant something like a Persian Lime on a dwarfing rootstock up against a warm wall and protect it with lights and water barrels like I do. It is doable, but you'll have to be diligent.

Love your videos. Where did you get Dwarf Bonanza Peach Tree?

[@LucyMorningstar999]

Peaches need A LOT of spraying throughout the growing season up until harvest. If you have the time for that then peaches are awesome. One of my favorite fruits. I definitely want to plant a persimmon tree soon.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

A strategy some gardeners use is to grow early peaches. Early varieties of peaches often mature ahead of the worst of the insects and diseases. Late season peaches require more spraying, since they linger on the tree when insects and fungal diseases are most active. Al peaches require some spraying, but earlier varieties require less.

The temperature gets down to about 7F where ai live in central Alabama. I'm too far north for citrus trees, and too far south for apple trees. Apple trees will grow, but the fruit bakes on the branches long before it ripens. Peach trees will grow, but the soil (hard red clay) has to be dug out , and filled with top soil. There are three fruit trees that do well in my area, cherry trees, plum trees, and pear trees. Next March, I plan on expanding my garden by adding fruit two cherry trees, a Bing cherry tree, and a Coral Champagne cherry tree. If all goes well, the following year, I will add two Santa Rosa plum trees. The other night, the temperature got down to 25F, and it was a 13 hour freeze. It was too cold for too long for my peppers, basil, and zinnias. I've cleaned up the damage, and put my pepper GreenStalk Tower to bed for the winter, and covered my pepper raised bed with a t hick layer of chopped leaves. In the spring, I will cover the leaves with compost, and plant into it. All but three varieties of peppers will be grown in two GreenStalk Towers next year, freeing up raised bed space for other crops. I have assorted lettuces, Late Nagasaki Cabbage, turnips, and Pak Choi that I am harvesting from. My rutabaga roots are starting to develop roots, and my kohlrabi and tatsoi should be ready to harvest soon. My Danvers carrot, Purple Top Turnip, and Tokinashi Turnip seedlings are doing well, but I didn't get good germination from my golden beet seeds. I ordered a new batch of seeds to replace some of my older seeds the other day. My Seascape Strawberries are still slowly producing, so I am getting a handful of strawberries most days. My winter tomatoes-3 Early Girl-bush, and 4 Tiny Tim tomatoes are going strong. I'm overwintering my newly sprouted comfrey (8 plants) in my polytunnel to keep them growing. I'll transplant them into my herb garden in the spring. Next year, with the exception of my mint, spearmint, and peppermint, my herbs will be grown in ground. I have a mound of soil near my front porch that will be perfect for a herb garden. It will free up 8 grow bags, that I am going to relocate, and use exclusively for planting pollinators, zinnias, marigolds, and cosmos.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I disagree. You could definitely grow a Yuzu tree or the Owari or Brown's Select satsuma if you protect the trees like I do with lights and a water barrel. If I can grow an Avocado in-ground where we get down into the low teens each year, you can grow citrus using the same protection methods. Last year, when we got down to 14F, my avocado stayed at 28F, so you can do it if you're diligent like I am. If you're less diligent, Yuzu is hardy to 0-5F once established and would require more basic protection. The problems with your soil can largely be mitigated by growing dwarfing varieties like these on mounds. If you mound up the soil 12-18 inches, you can beat the problem. I don't accept the notion that things can't be grown. If I can grow an avocado tree and a Meyer lemon in Wilmington, NC, a lot of things are possible. We got down to 30 degrees Wednesday morning and I didn't cover any of my citrus or my avocado and none of them cared.

Hi Millennial Garden, how do you store, or even can your oranges, or do you just eat them? Can they be juiced also?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

The oranges hold on the tree for about a month. I pick them over the course of a month as I want them. When I see they're starting to reach maximum maturity (the skin starts to pull away), I'll cut them all off and stick them in a box in the coldest spot of my garage where they'll store for about another month. You can do whatever you want with them: juice them, candy them, make jam/jelly, etc. They're indistinguishable from any orange you've ever bought from a grocery store and can be used as an all-purpose orange, except they'll taste about 5 times better than any orange from a grocery store. These aren't some strange cold-hardy thing that tastes funny. They're real-deal, top quality oranges.

Enjoyed this video, as usual, but I have a small quibble about your choice of the olive tree. Olive trees are so allergenic that they are prohibited in many Arizona HOA's(and whole towns). Perhaps a lesser issue , but if planted in the front yard, as you suggest, at maturity they can become quite messy with their attraction to birds, and dropped olives. Just something that folks might want to consider.

I'm not going to be your go-to guy when it comes to complicated grafting techniques. I only do very basic grafting when necessary. Yes, you can graft other varieties of apples onto your crab apple tree, but it's going to be more advanced than a chip bud graft or cleft graft on a seedling rootstock. I recommend you look at channels like JSacadura for those types of advanced grafting techniques: www.youtube.com/@JSacadura

Thanks for taking the time to reply and recommend. I'll check it out. Keep up the great content!

I would like to see a video on pruning citrus trees. I cut mine back after I harvest the fruit, but I don’t know what I’m doing. So far they haven’t died. Lol

He has one

I'm always gonna give props in the comments for a Stan McKenzie mention. 🤙 The dwarf peach tree you featured is very enticing. The idea of being eye to eye with a producing, mature peach tree sounds like a dream.

MOST EXCELLENT

[@WileyWez]

Where did you get your fruit trees from? Specifically the peach tree, I didn’t see those listed at the place you mentioned

Good afternoon. I would like some info on the peach tree you showed in this video. Im in nw central florida. Looking to plant some peach trees. I like the fact its a dwarf tree but still bares full size fruit. Can you give me the varieties and where you bought it from? I just planted my first two plumb trees for 9a. I know nothing about fruit trees so any help would be most appreciative. Thanks, Ed

[@JessieNihilist]

Where did you purchase your peach tree. I would love to get one

[@mikelwalters6505]

Hello M/g, where do you purchase your arbasona olive tree. How long does it take to produce? You say they are good for oil, what about pickling. Thanks

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I purchased my tree from OneGreenWorld. However, there are multiple retailers online. I don't know how long they'll take to produce. Most grafted fruit trees take 2-3 years, but olives are not a typical fruit that most of us are used to, so we'll see. Yes, this variety is good for brining/curing and then used as a table olive. OneGreenWorld has a good write-up on their website.

That mic would make a great Christmas ornament.

Wondering if that peach is the variety I see growing in a small yard in town! Their tree is no more than 4' tall, and has what looks like 100 perfect peaches every year. 😍

Can all these fruit trees tolerate frost temps in winter and come back the following year?

[@russbowman6801]

thanks for the tip on the peach trees! Ours got too unruly and full of suckers so they are going to be replaced. Have you tried pomegranate trees? There are so many varieties I do not know what to grow. We are in zone 8a also, but inland as we are, it got down to 8 degrees and killed our satsuma orange. It nearly killed the olive tree and wiped out the Meyer lemon tree to the ground but came back with no blooms, so they are going out also. :Pomegranates can be more hardy, so picking the right variety is the question. Also, we have room for a few big trees so we will try out two Dunstan chestnut trees. They will get big and just right in a few years to plant a couple pawpaw trees around them. In Portland, Oregon we also grew camellia sinensis, tea bushes! Yes, they made great tea. Portland is also in zone 8a. We picked the leaves, ground them up in a a mortar, then poured hot water on this with some swishing, strained, and made fresh green tea! It was a lot more flavorful. This plant can be trimmed like a normal bush in front of the home that looks pretty nice. Keep up the great work. Gardening is helping me live a longer life, I am sure of it.

try the pomegranate variety "parfianka"! omg, they are massive and unbelievably delicious. the inside is almost all edible fruit which also makes it easy to prepare/peel. i'm in 8a and i have mine in a 40 gal container and it out produces my in ground "wonderful" pomegranate. i can't rec it highly enough. i need to plant one in the ground now. such a great tree!
