Definitely should be on tv, BUT to be real, government and stores hate home growers. They're actually trying hard to end this backyard stuff. In Michigan, the very first covid ban was garden seeds. I don't know why they banned them during covid, but they did as if someone gardening in their backyard would "spread covid." it was so stupid. That was Gretchen Whitmore and the democrats in control of Michigan who banned them.

Great video once again! You've inspired me to try planting a citrus tree in the ground here in the UK! I'm hoping with some protection I can get it through the winter here. On paper, we are something like a 9a or 8b, but even though it doesn't drop too low in the winter, it can stay just above freezing day and night for weeks. We don't get those warmer daytime temperatures that a zone 9a or 8b would get in the south of the US for example. But I think it should still be doable, as all my citrus made it through an incredibly tough winter last year in my greenhouse with lows down to around -7°C (19.4°F), which thankfully is rare here. I did turn on a tiny heater for the coldest nights, to take the edge off it. If it works out, I might try an avocado next year 🤞

Avocado trees do not grow true to type. If you undergo some type of breeding program, what you'll get will almost certainly be some type of hybrid with Mexican and Guatemalan in its lineage. A Hass behaves far more like a Guatemalan than a Mexican. It has the skin, size, pit and frost sensitivity of a Guatemalan. If you look at a pure Mexican variety, the fruits, flesh, pit and skin are completely different.

You really have been pushing the zone and I like your content. However a bit of creative licensing on the term "tropical" trees. In fact most of those u show would either not grow or produce fruit in truly tropical zone. Not bashing your success or info for lower zones, just a PSA for anyone in 10b+ tropics like south florida (I know we are a small subset of the USA). Absolutely can not grow coffee in full sun in florida, the UV will toast it in a day, thats why u get sunburned in only an hour at the beach. Citrus is even a challenge, but more b/c of the alkaline sand and heavy pest pressure (Caribbean fruit fly and leaf miner moths are the worst) vs. Temp. In fact that cold gives u a bit an advantage by killing off most of the bugs each winter. Keep up the good work...

Brother you do a great job. Thank you for all the knowledge and tips you share. I would give you hope and encoragement with the Olive trees, though, as they are super cold resistant. It might be some well adapted specific local varieties, but where i am from, Portugal, you have basically 2 main climates. The Mediteranean one, as you well mentioned, but also the Atlantic, and they have thrived easily in both, for millennia, here. The oldest specimen in Portugal is more than 3 000 years old. Where i live, for example, we get A LOT OF FROST and COLD, as well as SEVERE DROUGHT and there's at least half a dozen olive trees 1 000 years plus, some from the time of Christ. Olive trees just go on and on... They are SUPER RESILIENT and practically native, altough it was either the romans, the greeks, the phoenicians or the jews who brought them here thousands of years ago, I am not sure. Around here they just need some pruning, and usually there's gap years where they don't produce much, but then, when they give, THEY GIVE A LOT... God bless you!

@@ramonajolley1966 No problem! As long as you get all the excess growth from the rootstock, the tree should start putting its energy back into the satsuma section. I check my trees for rootstock growth regularly and prune off where necessary 👍

Where do you normally purchase your trees? Some of these I just can’t find them around where I am.

I wonder how far north the Owari/ brown’s select satsuma can grow…

It's more temperature-based than latitude based. If your climate is mild enough, it's growable. I know of them growing as far north as Virginia Beach on the East Coast and literally British Columbia/Vancouver on the West Coast.

How does a water barrel provide heat? Wouldn't it naturally work down to ambient temperature?

Hi I'm in central jersey. Been having success with container figs and bringing them into the garage to winter. Are there a variety of citrus trees that I can grow in large containers and bringing indoor to over winter?

You also need to try eriobotriya fruit to grow, which is hardy to zone 8.

I have 11 citrus trees in pots and this has convinced me to plant them in ground (Atlanta)

I would recommend starting with only the hardiest one or two. Don’t risk them all. There will be a learning curve up front. Also, not all citrus are hardy. A satsuma may be able to survive hard freezes, but most lemons and limes cannot. The in-ground selections must be chosen carefully.

I’m in Atlanta as well. Just started with 3 in pots this spring: lime, Meyer lemon, and Satsuma. How’s your production been?
