One comment about figs: they produce tons of fruit on small trees when they are a little root bound
What if you DIDNT planted your fruit trees higher than the ground? Some were planted about 8 months ago. One was planted last month. (central Florida)
Loved this guide. Chill hours is so important, but also learning how the chill hours in your area works. In Melbourne we have 1000+ chill hours, so tropical plants not so good right? Wrong we have only about 5 frosts a year and only about -1c at best. All our chill hours are above zero, bananas, mangos etc can all be grown here and fruit. So always look deeply at how the chill hours are delivered.
I also stole your citrus hedge idea, so far so good.
Oh, with the planting trees in containers, don't forget to prune the root ball every 3 to 4 years once you get it to the pot size you want, helps it to grow. We have a strawberry gum (edible gum leaves) that in the ground grows to 30m (i think 90 foot), so pot growing is the best way but you need to prune the roots.
Chris is such a great addition to the channel, love learning from you both!
I literally just bought that IV organics whitewash! I was on the fence about it but so glad to see you recommend it! We added two citrus and two avocado to our property this year.
lol at 5:59. I invite you to my place, where you could literally dig it out of the ground, throw it on a potting wheel and throw a piece without having to do any prep to the clay.
Great video Chris & Kevin. Lots of great information
I – quite inadvertently – ended up with "timed" harvests between my early-mid-late season stonefruits. I am always sad when the Elbertas are done, but we manage to have peaches and plums all summer long!
I was just driving by the fruit trees at Lowes and wondering if it was too late to plant trees that had already leafed out. Thanks a bunch!
Kris is such an awesome addition to the Epic team! Being from a cooler zone, I really appreciate her input and knowledge!!
The dragon fruit cuttings have gotten so big!
Can you do what to buy for beginner gardeners?
Great tips! What are your recommendations for 'watering in' trees? I grabbed a Spice Zee and want to be sure it's super strong. Thanks for all your work educating us!
Does Chris have her own channel? I’d love to watch hers too.
Do you have a segment on fruits like berries?? I would like to grow these, but aren't sure how
8-B is not a “cold” zone.
What's a good place to educate myself on different plants. I just bought a piece of land and it doesn't have anything growing on it besides grass and crawfish towers I really need to know what to do
Best tip I ever got was to always dig a square hole to plant any tree in, this allows the roots a roadway out through the corners of the hole to ensure a secure, well nourished tree, able to find moisture easier:
Or the roots tend to continue their journey in circles, as it did in the pot.
Always fill the hole halfway with water, allow this water some time to sink down. This will encourage roots to grow deep to find that moisture.
These tips aid the tree in many ways.
Thank you for all the education. I always come away learning something I didn’t know before!
Loving the more frequent videos <3
Dont the trees fruit together the following year ? when the wheather triggers differsnt states for the tree, i.e branch,leaf productiin, then flowering then fruiting.
hi im from greece and i have a problem with my lemon trees and oranges they have" Capnodium oleae" any ideas to remove it and help the trees? thank y
Wow…. You’re in 8b in Canada! I’m in 7a here in Tennessee lol.
Is it ideal to apply fertilizer on the bare root fruit trees (planted in containers) on the first year? or would applying compost on the top layer work for now until the next year or so?
Wassup Kevin! I have a couple raised beds and wanted to get some flowers around the area but the soil is very bad. What’s a good way to revive sandy soil or other types to start planting?
