if you live in northern europe or similar climate and are looking for rare fruits I recommend growing cornelian cherries and Japanese silverberries maybe its my own peculiar taste but those are really tasty and very resilient to boot, especialy against fungus if it tends to rain a lot where you live or if you have long winters you should give it a try

If your persimmon is astringent, just let it blet. Basically leave it out at room temperature for a while until it looks brown and mushy, almost like it’s rotten. But if you smell it it’ll be sweet and earthy. It’s kinda like when a banana turns brown. You can spoon it out and eat it like that or you can bake it, make ice cream with it, etc.

As someone with mulberry trees (they were planted by the previous home own not me) mulberry roots can be quite invasive and can cause plumbing issues (by damaging the pipes) so you are better off only planting them in pots unless you want to go weeks without washing your hands or flushing the toilet and pay someone oodles of cash to dig up the ground in order to fix said pipe.

I live in zone 5B so enjoyed this video. Just recently I decided to start my small home orchard. I have two white peach trees, three plum and two pear. This gives me more ideas. Will stop at 7 trees for now to see what I must do to care for these trees. TY so much.

I can’t believe you didn’t start off with the Paw Paw. Native here in Pennsylvania

[Ghostpants.]

Absolutely love this video.
I watched it last year and directly got everything on the list planted.
Some thrive more than others, but i´ve already got some flowers showing.
Great inspiration, keep it up.
Kadsura coccinea is also something interesting ive been looking into.

I really enjoy the inclusion of some species name information, great work!

The most important thing about Figs, is that they were likely the first thing cultivated by humans for food

[StreetMachine]

Thanks, I need to look at getting a fig tree. One note, the voiceover was only on the left channel, which makes it harder to listen on headphones

[michelebartholome]

they also have dwarf trees you can grow in a pot

[BillHimmel]

Great list! Didn’t even know some of these!

[eternal_improvement]

Aweseomw! I live in Finland and have a hard time finding seedlings any of the more rear ones. I don't want to start from seed

[jeffgegos]

I got American plum and beach plum there native to my area and there great but I never tried them you should grow them also crabapples like Dolgo or edible native apples are great and there native cherrys.

One thing I have learned is that plants developed in a particular biome (ecological zone) will grow in a similar biome elsewhere. I wonder if any Greenlandic gardeners have had success with Russian Seaberry (Hipphophae rhamnoides), Arctic Kiwi (Actinidia arguta), or the Buartnut tree (Juglans xbixbyi). If you can grow potatoes there you might even get certain cold-hardy Oca tubers (Oxalis tuberosa) to grow as an annual as well.

Excellent video! I like these recommendations. Sadly, many fruit trees have become prohibitively expensive. I don’t feel like spending $40 or more on fruit trees, even if the investment is worth it. It’s a lot of money to shell out. I will look at your site. I definitely want to grow figs. Be well.

I have the Honeycrisp apple and the Golden Delicious...varieties that are so expensive here in Boston. I also have the 2 plum trees and Rainier and Bing Cherries. My kids asked me for a mulberry so I plan to get it. I also have a Persimmon Fuyu. All the fruits we enjoy
