Absolutely love your videos Gary!

Lol when you eventually come to London, UK ( after the coronavirus situation has cleared up ) I'm going to blow your mind with a 35 foot avocado tree covered in mature avocados

I love it when my mind is blown. It’s like taking amazing drugs without taking amazing drugs

Good going for the owner of the papaya tree because they're a tropical plant & the equivalent to Santa Claras latitude is Melbourne in Victoria which is in Australia which is about 37°S of the equator, people have tried growing them there & the Winter ❄️ just about kills them there. My latitude is about 32.66° S of the equator & they do die back a bit in the winter time where I am so my latitude is similar to San Diegos which is in Southern California. I have 3 × 1 metre high papaya plants which have bounced back after the winter time !

I'm in Hayward, CA zone 10a and just planted (2) Mango trees in my front yard. 6ft tall Valencia Pride Mango in my front yard which survived winter with zero protection. Last season I did have 2 VP mangos that almost grew to maturity but dropped before ripening. I also planted my 3-4ft tall Pickering Mango. Pickering did produce 1 super sweet mango for me last season. I also have 4ft tall Glenn Mango that is starting to flower. Lastly, I have a 4-5ft tall Bailey's Marvel that I purchased this yr that hasn't flowered yet and hoping for something.

Where did you buy the mango tree? I want to plan it on my yard in oakland.

I am successfully from seed growing two papaya trees, 2 Lychee trees in northern california. Lychee tree is 7 feet tall and in its third year, close to producing fruit.

if you can grow lychee, can you also grow rambutan?

Yep very cool!

Just buy a papaya and plant seeds in a fabric pot and in 2-5 weeks they will grow.... I live in Sacramento and its my first time growing them. Planted them last June. They are Mexican papaya.

I live in Sacramento too. Any tips ? Do you do anything to protect the Papaya tree from cold ?

My respect brother

It's funny as a delivery driver I have seen plenty of papaya trees in the bay and knew it was odd but being that I didn't eat many I never thought about it much I just knew it was odd. Until I tried papaya juice for the first time ever and now it has captured my imagination! Papaya is probably the best juice in the world! Tastes like an all natural Orange Bang!

@@ScaryHairyGary By the way, thanks for all you have done encouraging people in the Bay to grow tropicals. I remember reading an article you were in a decade or two ago where you were showing us your Mexicola Grande fruit and encouraging people to grow rare varieties instead of just Hass.

I like your hat!

Is it possible to guess the age? Seems the tag is fairly new, perhaps one season at best. It must of grown substantially in one year! What is the Low there for Winter? Will it survive another Season without freezing to the ground?

Looks like several trees. Babies.

In my tropical warm house in Germany I have papaya plants that bear fruit and I also moss shoots.

I was just looking back at the posts on this video and saw yours. I may be opening up a nursery out your and if so I’d need to find a local manager so if you know anyone good please let me know. I was going to fly out there on the 16th and drive around in the Austin and San Antonio areas to see what kind of plants are growing. The climate there looks like it would be good for just about everything we grow with the caveat that every 20 years or so you might get hit with a huge freeze in which case you may have to start over with some things.

@@ScaryHairyGary yes sir that would be awesome. I no longer live in the SA area but they do have a great growing season. It is like you described

do you know if papaya would handle 110 in summer, or 30 in winter? I live about 2 hours east of you in foothills.

pineapple In ground in tulare county. I dont know if it will fruit but it survived winter.

Dry freeze free winter

Was this planted on a south side of the house?
