The SECRET to Growing Citrus & Other Fruit Trees in New York

Do you want tasty fruits? My winters are brutal, and my garden is small, but I’m still growing some great fruit trees and berries!

Here’s my experience on what’s worth growing & what's not.

I’ll show you my container-grown Blueberries and Citrus collection (Meyer Lemons, Owari Satsuma, Centennial Variegated Kumquat, Ponderosa Lemon, and Nagami Kumquat). I'm also growing figs, bananas, Apples, and a Jiro Persimmon in the ground.

This video is only about the fruit I’ve had success with and know are worth growing, but I’m also experimenting with other great plants like Babaco Papaya, Coffee, and Miracle Fruit.
