20 Fruit Trees you can grow in the DESERT!

Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!

Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

Your neem tree will exude aroma that discourages bugs. It will get huge. You can make tincture of the leaves for antivirus gargle, .

Black Mission figs are the best-tasting variety (in my opinion) and do great in the Phoenix area.

Wanted you to know, I am growing guava trees, 1 Egyptian, and Mexican, they both produce very, very well.

[bevandron]

I also have a grafted mango, 1 side large mangoes, the other side small apple size mangoes.

Here in Pakistan mulberries grow like weeds and produce huge berries 2-4 inches long ....

I loved my granddad’s orchard in the desert. It was always a treat to go pick your fruit to snack on!

[bandittrue]

How often do you have to water those trees to have them grow.

[FreedomForKashmir]

3:36 did you just said Pakistani Mulberry ....
Here I am from Pakistan I am feeling glad without any reason.
love from Pakistan.

Good to see a Pakistani tree in the yard. If it gets that hot in Arizona (120 F ) then this would be ideal to grow date palms. Also, try to grow Pakistani Chaunsa or Enver-Rihtol varieties mangoes. They are out of this world.

You should grow Pluots. They are a mix between Plus and Apricots. There are different varieties with different ratios of plum and apricot. I had a tree with 4-5 varieties grafted on to it. Best fruit I ever had. The different varieties also ripen at different times so you get months of fruit. Home gown Pluots were so much better than store bought ones. I see plums and apricots are growing there. You can't go wrong with Plouts.

Great episode. Loved the orchard. Good advice about sun and shade. Keep it coming. Want that Neem tree!

[brokenbutterfly]

That's so cool cause all these are grown in my city. Could you please make another video on perennials that do well in your climate for landscaping purposes?

[Cabrona_lol]

What about pomegranite? They do great in full sun and dry climates ;) It gets about 110 here and in full sun doesnt flinch :)

[derrickpeel]

Thanks o much for your wonderful video. I live in Bethulie South Africa - and will plant all sorts of plants in this desert area that i hadnt even thought of. thanks for your inspiration.

[DadMoves]

Hi. Any update to these trees? I see all animal videos in past two years and was looking to know what lessons you learned in past 4 years with your desert trees.

[mbaloch]

You are such a knowledgeable person love the video

[marysurbanchickengarden]

I've been watching your channel for some time now, it always makes me miss my dairy goats.

I grow Pinapple guava here in Canada but sadly it probably would not fruit but the flowers taste amazing! and taste like vanilla ( white petals )
I think it would grow great for u and everyone would love to eat the flowers :)
