In my tropical warm house I'm expecting a sizable banana harvest again by around June, there will probably be around 100 bananas. Dwarf cavendish, the Central American fruit banana, these are the ones you can buy in stores everywhere, but of course they taste even better when harvested when fully ripe. Greetings from Germany

I live in soCal, and the loquats here, in this arid climate, are *_quite_* disease prone. Several have a leaf-curling issue and have dropped all their fruit this year. I can only imagine how much worse it is in Florida with the humid climate. But I did bring a small one there, and it's already in very poor condition. Your criteria nearly mirror mine, with a couple additions: nematode and varmint resistance. Incidentally, her papaya tree also died after producing several dozen fruit. My bet is nematodes. Also, regarding the figs: try LSU Purples. I've just planted 2 of those because of that very problem with nematodes, plus they are billed as being extremely split resistant. My question is this: should the loquat not survive until I return in November, what other fruiting plants/tree(s) can be grown in her area that require minimal care, have high disease/insect/varmint resistance, and don't grow to be huge behemoths? I know cactus are "idiot proof" with figs being a close second. I really like California Date Palms, but don't think they will grow there, with the damp climate and 2-3' water table. She is a senior, and I want to make this easy for her. She's never grown any food/fruit bearing plants, but we gotta take advantage of the real estate and the weather down there!

Starfruit is defiantly high on the list for productivity. Talk to Julian at Lara Farm look for the Bell. That is by far the best Starfruit.

Great video, Idk how you don't have more views. Randomly stumbled across this as a KZitem recommendation. Would you change any of your recommendations or add recommendations for central Florida?
@BensExoticFlorida
7 ай бұрын
Thanks for the nice comment! Central Florida usually gets a freeze or two over the winter which we do not here down south so you'll need trees that can survive a freeze (unless you protect them somehow). From my list, the only one that's an easy recommendation is the fig which easily handles the cold. You can also grow some other fruits that I can't which require colder weather like peaches and pomegranates.

Sugar apple or cherimoya plant is another good fruit to look into. Can be grown from seed and fruit within 2-3 years in good conditions.

I've never had loquat or Jamaican cherries, even though I'm from Jamaica. The Barbados cherry os is what most Jamaicans, including myself called Jamaican cherry. It is the only edible cherry that i know of on the island. This new cherry, I've only started to see on KZitem about a year ago. All the other fruits are regular fruits to me, except the fig, that I only come into contact with since i came to New York. There is a wide range of fruits that i haven't tried, and i want to grow them all when I go back home.

Are you growing Jack Fruit tree and Indian Curry leaves(leaf) Plant?. Also you can think of growing Persimmons or Kaki plant

I am growing jackfruit (check out my previous full garden tour video) but it's about 10 feet tall, been in my yard for over 3 years, and still hasn't flowered which is why I didn't include it here. I've looked into persimmons but read that they don't produce reliably big crops here. Never even heard of kaki, I'll look it up. Thanks for the comment!

To get reliable fruit, trees should usually be obtained grafted, not by seed. There are a handful of websites that sell grafted trees. Look into everglades.farm or Lara Farms.
