Love your videos! I see you have several remote thermometers around your yard. Can you tell us any more about those? What brand do you use, why do you have them where you have them, what protections do you give them, any of your thoughts or ideas about using them to measure various different microclimates around the yard. I would love to hear what you have to say about them.

They are wireless temperature and humidity sensors. I have them strategically placed throughout my yard.

In native tropical rainforest ecosystems, humidity can reach up to 90% for weeks, and tropicals strive in such conditions The mulch maintains the microclimate moisture which is mainly driven by humidity as well

@@joekunin Any tree that does not care for full sun. Just look at which area under the tree is shaded from noon until about 5:00 pm during the summer. That’s where you want to plant your shade loving tropicals, whether they be fruit trees, flowing bushes or even elephant ears. Oak trees are great if you have them, but other fast growing trees like inga or tamarind work fine too.

@TropicalCentralValley4 ай бұрын
I do it occasionally, though, it has to benefit the tree, as opposed to me pruning for the sake of pruning or maintaining the shape/size. Under normal circumstances, I do not prune during the summer months as the trees need all the foliage protection they can get against the sun.
