Jamaica. I would like to grow all of them. Which ones are compatible with the climate in Jamaica
Are these genetically modified seeds?
Favorite fruits is strawberries, apples ,bananas, blueberries, lemons, avacodos and peaches.
Blueberries don't grow on trees guy, they are bushes not trees
Squirrels, raccoons and aphids thin my peaches for me 😔😒
8:25 netting will in fact bend your branches. You've been warned
I have blue berry plants and banana plants as well as lemon trees. Your information taught me a lot and I can't wait to see the difference it will make with my plants.
IF you can afford $50+ for a tiny tree
Watching from Florida USA. Where can we buy these varieties. Thank you.
Tena koe (hello you) lol. I am from the most 'sacred' of ALL dirt .. land .. earth … PAPATUANUKU (mother earth). Thankyou for such a life changing presentation. I would really like a rapid response – regarding further environmental / organic 'tips'. I wish to keep my own support network from Aotearoa NZ – updated and informed. Paimarire (peace and goodwill).
Can I grow this in chicago
I wish I could have fruit trees growing on my balcony but with an overhang and eastern exposure I don’t get enough sunlight to nourish them
Excited about the blueberries 😍
Thanks for your list,
I live in the tropics, avocado, lemon (some varieties), bananas are readily available
What others on the list can easily be grown in the tropics?
Can I grow in Michigan? I particularly like the fig tree idea. I do have grow lights for growing in the winter. I do have a peach tree in my yard, I just bought it last year, no fruit yet.
I will be potting my mini fig tree which is not doing well in the ground. I am looking forward to comparing it to the two giant fig trees now in the ground.
Just bought the meyer lemon victoria plum . And i have a strawberry plant need help with as they were very sweet
Hello, I have a white peach tree that I grew from a seed from my father in laws house 5 years ago. My brother in law did the same and they by far are the most sweetest peaches I have ever eaten 💓. Now my tree is old but still producing fruit 🍑 but my brother in law grew me 7 starter peach trees, they are around 1 foot right now. My question is I have 2 big pots 4' feet tall pretty wide. Could I keep the trees short ? I have a horrible gopher problem and I've tried everything but I live in a small farm area so when I get rid of them they go my neighbor's and then come back. I'm not young anymore so I'm just praying for my new peach trees. Thank you for your time.
Angels all around you.

Hi, love your channel. I often see many of these fruits in warmer climates like Florida. What do you do in places like NJ & NY where the winters are really cold. Do you bring inside or keep in deck? Do they freeze?
I started with pomegranates and avocados.
Thank you God bless you
Thank you.Our nurseries don't sell these starter plants.
Here is a suggestion TALK SLOWER, so people can take better notes.
Any suggestions on where to buy the fruit plan or seeds ?
Fuck this AI bullshit.
I see the value in growing container fruits. I had a top hat blueberry bush for 10 years. The fruit was so delicious. In 2020 it was loaded.
I had a drawn lemon tree and it produced lemons but they always stayed green new turned yellow. What did I do wrong
I am in SA where do I get the seeds for these fruit trees.
My avocados don't bear fruit
Lemonade sucks make lemon meringue instead
Great informative video. Thank you.
