  1. Nice collection, Sergio. We had problems with squirrels eating all our fruit as well, we rescued a hunting dog from being euthanized and she has kept all the squirrels away, they don't even bother coming over anymore, so finally we will get to taste some mangos this year!

  2. I had 2 peach trees in Miami but they rotted on the bottom and dropped dead. These were the only trees to do that of about 500 citrus mango avocado and lychee trees. The peaches were the greatest on earth. I didn’t care that they collapsed because when we left the fruit on the tree to ripen just 1 second too long fruit flies punctured the fruit to deposit eggs. I didn’t spray because unlike other fruit they didn’t have skin. But again those low chill peaches were absolutely spectacular. May have been Florida or UF Sun and Florida or UF One. I’m not sure but maybe they were like 50 chill hour peaches.

  3. We like to grow fruitful tress after retirement, which is safest and cheapest place to buy/ house and land in south Florida

  4. Great video guys!
    Sergio your yard is amazing and love that you are developing new varieties of mango 🥭 to keep it interesting.
    I find it so funny that our tropical fruit tree community loves the challenge of growing something outside their grow zone.
    Keep us posted on those peach trees 🍑.
