Another video garden tour southern California

I made this today since I was on the roof putting up lights and decided I should go ahead and make a little video, (haha 16 minutes) and put on youtube. I didn't really edit it, later I will add some captions.

Marklee,

Nice setup, you got a lot packed in there. Loved the Selma cherimoya shot, looked like it produced decently for you this year (considering the overall lack of cherimoya production this year). Have a nice sized yard for the city, double lot?

Very inspiring.  Good to see a Mamey Sapote fruiting in so cal.

Brilliant idea to rent a drone so you could give us an aerial view. I have seen photos of Mexican-American's front yards that have rows of corn planted in the LA area or Arizona etc etc.
Same deal with us--
You know you are a fruit tree cultivating degenerate when you have your front yard planted out in fruit trees. This way its easy to give visitors directions to your house. You tell them to look for the house with fruit trees out front. At least that's what I do

Very nice. You have arranged your planting to the optimum

WOW Mark, you've got a beautiful place with ton's of trees and the variety is amazing, thanks for posting

Mark,

Everything looks great!  Thanks for sharing your yard with us.

Still plenty of room for the slow growing garcinias, Annonas will be espaliered, pitahayas will get their own poles, Then a couple of holes dug in the big greenhouse with heating cables to get a real tropical to fruit. And plenty of size management to maximize varieties and species.

wow, my garden is nothing compared to what you have.. I only started 4 years ago and I have a slope penalty too unfortunately

Great collection, thanks for sharing. I absolutely love the papaya tree in your frontyard. Amazing that it survives in ground like that, I guess the low temps in Chula Vista is not that bad. Did you have to protect it in prior years?
Thanks,
Trung

Thanks for sharing your oasis. You've got it all going on and it's only going to get tastier.
I especially like your Red Sugar Apple and Mamey, looking good.
Any comparison or differences you can share for growing Annona Montana compared to your other Annona's ?
