Hi Dan, Thanks for posting your very informative videos. I bought some really sweet nectarines from Tescos last year. I cracked 6 of stones and removed the kernel then wrapped them in wet kitchen roll and placed them in a polythene bag in the fridge for a few months. I put them into a large flower pot and left them in my unheated greenhouse. They've all sprouted and have grown about 15cm high in a matter of a few weeks. Last week I carefully repotted them into individual containers, and apart from the initial shock where a couple of them drooped, they've all recovered. I'm told that they should produce identical fruit to the parent plants in a couple of years. I live on the south coast of England so I'm hopeful that they will survive. I have grown several brown turkey fig trees from cuttings. The parent plant, in the garden hardly produced any fruit - probably the poor soil it's in. Very easy but surprisingly the plants need a lot of water. I grew one from a small twig about the size of a matchstick, initially under a cut off lemonade bottle on the kitchen window sill, then placed it in my greenhouse. It grew to over 1.2 metres and was loaded with fruit the following year. It's still in my greenhouse, still loaded with immature fruit from last year.

@Bob Bailey Cor blimey, well done with the fig cutting! I've got a couple of mango shoots that sprouted from the supermarket stones in my indoors wormery without me even trying, that I've potted to see if they will grow even a tiny bit on my sunny bathroom windowsill (South Coast too, but no greenhouse yet!. I'm so excited to see how they get on. I saw a vid with a lady who'd done it with a peach stone from a lovely peach she'd eaten abroad or something and after a few years in her English greenhouse, the tree started bearing delicious sweet peaches every year. Also about your fig tree - apparently, the vigour, flavour and colour in fruit come from well-mineralised soil, and how we prune them, which makes sense, I suppose. Good luck with your nectarines!

The outdoor fig not producing much fruit might, as Dan said in this video, be down to having enough nutrients to produce lots of foliage i.e. it doesn't feel pressured into prioritising flowers as it does when kept in a container.

Hi Dan, i have an Autumn Royal in an unheated greenhouse, wow, does it grow, i let it grow 3 branches around each of 3 sides in the greenhouse on streainer wires 6" away from the glass, i have had to cut the growth down to 20% as the weight of the grape bunches was trying to pull the roof in, in the early stages i removed 50 bunches as they were doubled up but even so the amount of bunches was crazy, each about a foot long, my Lakemont is outside but the squirrels each year devestate them so i am building a steel mesh cage to stop that, I used to have 22 fruit trees but you need to repot them every 3 years or remove from the tub and prune the roots, they were in 70L tubs and 10L tubs but they should have all been transfered to the ground but i am on clay so didn't think it would work so when they stopped growing and producing good fruit i binned them, the Brown Turkey Figs are by far the best, but the late crop usually has to be taken off unless you can cover the tree for the winter. Love your videos.

You have done really well on the exotic front, Dan. Two of my citrus suffered this week as a result of my own failures, not getting out to cover them before a significant freeze. I have a tray of orange seedlings grown from 'late oranges' last spring, they have survived without any problem or extra attention, while other citrus have suffered. As I grew a lot from seed, I hope that it will build its own resilience, I agree with you that initially, when citrus etc come into our country, they need a halfway house as such - conservatory or properly heated and weatherproof greenhouse. Having seen that gentleman grow bananas in Northern Germany I know that he sees things the same way, lots of these plants will survive when at a stronger stage, a few years old or more, but until then they are vulnerable.

another exotic fruit you can grow is the cold hardy kiwi which produces small kiwi fruit the size of a large grape and they have soft skin like grapes, so you eat them whole like grapes. But I do recommend getting the " Issai " variety of cold hardy kiwi since it's the only variety of cold hardy kiwi that is self-fertile and self-pollinating that I know of also the Issai variety can tolerate a zone 4 climate. Which is -35 degrees F without a covering in the winter and it can even tolerate a zone 3 climate or -40 degrees F if you keep them covered in the winter.

Hi man, you do like your Grapes haha, you have several varieties, do Grape vines cross pollinate? I’m definitely going to buy myself that one you said would be the best if only could grow 1 vine. Also want to get one of those the Blood Orange trees. Last summer I found I had a Grape vine growing from my compost Soil, which lost all its leaves during a cold snap in the winter, while on my window seal. I waited till it was at least 10*c at night before I planted it out in a pot, and cut the stem down to about 4-6 inches. Now it has grown new leaves but the stem( for now at least) is not growing, then this spring another Grape seedling coincidently popped up in the same pot. I know they are VERY unlikely to produce edible fruits and may not even last through a full winter outside, but as they grew themselves without any effort from me, I want to see how they do. As you may remember I am trying to grow a mini Forest Garden in Pots, but cos of the lockdown I haven’t been able to develop it as I hoped, but thankfully some locals have managed to get permission to grow a Forest Garden on a green space in my town, literally 3 mins walk from my flat, so I hope to get some cuttings etc from that source. Sorry for long comment! ✌🏽🌻✊🏽🌎
