I was browsing through Shamus' (Phoenix, Arizona) videos on YouTube and saw how he's successfully growing and having trees bear fruit - all in the desert. He has many trees that require high humidity to grow. (Or is it a requirement for fruiting? I don't know). But, when I looked up the climate for that location on Wikipedia, it showed a average low humidity of 52%. When I looked up humidity on weather reporting sites, it shows only 12% today. So, how is he able to get fruits with such low humidity?
My assumption was it might be due to his foliar spraying the trees. But, that would not be on a daily basis. Mulching would hold moisture for the soil, not for the air above, right?
I've seen many trees here that have not fruited so far even though they look pretty healthy and I always thought it was due to the additional requirement of humidity. Please enlighten me. Thank you.
