On our land we try all sorts of seeds to grow fruit. Some grow very quickly, others need time or maybe a different soil. Growing from seeds is cheap and takes time, but sometimes we want to get a result quickly and also buy a young plant. Its all learning by doing. All the fruit is unsprayed too.
We started to propagate Durian trees by seeds some time ago. Now we have three small plants next to the house. We hope it will ever grow into a big tree. Some info on internet says harvesting is possible after 3 years.
The red Mulberry can grow up to +15 meter. Birds like it a lot.
Harvesting the first mulberies.
We didn't plant this Papaya. This is what happens when you throw away leftovers.
Another leftover, a Water Melone someone enjoyed in the past. This watermelon was eaten by insects long before we could enjoy its taste. Know why?
Our small "Weinstock" with all available colors of grapevines. The blue pipes direct the water to the root, which is good for very dry seasons and also saves water.
Our grapes have a visitor, a Brown Tree Frog or more accurate a Hong Kong whipping frog is doing what its name says. Looks like the frog is sleeping or watching the grapes grow.
Dragon fruit, we put three plants (cactus) in the ground and after a month we already have a small harvest. The color of the pulp is red and has a delicious taste.
Guava, it is advisable to keep the fruit flies away from it.
Our only Mango, protected from insects with a special bag.
A small Lemon tree, already has lemons
A small Orange tree, already has fruit too.
Banana plant, the first plant we put in the ground. Normally it takes quite a long time to harvest.
Amazing after less than a year bananas have grown on a small tree, it starts with a large red flower, from which individual bananas then grow.
Coconut, another plant who needs time to grow
We also planted some corn seeds, which grew very quickly.
Rose apple almost ready to eat!
After just one year our rose apple flowers had blooms. Rose apples are related to the guava and have a beautiful flower that then turns into an edible fruit.
