Room for 12 Trees Max
« on: July 31, 2019, 02:45:24 AM »
What are the tropical fruit staples or varieties that you would focus on if you could only harvest 12 trees a year on your property? Do you pick 3 trees to harvest n January 2 trees in Feb., 1 in March, .... ? Or do you pick 12 trees which have a very long season. Or a little bit of both? Maybe you plant 12 types of Mangos? Maybe you would plant 6 Sweet Tart mango trees and 6 coconut cream? Or  1 black sapote, , 1 Carambola, 1 Mamey Sapote, 1 Avocado, 1 Jack Fruit, etc. What would you pick if you where going be limited to 12 trees? You can still buy fruit in season at the grocery store that is in season. You are not on a deserted island.

I like grapefruit, oranges, blood oranges, cherries, peaches, mangos, melons, plums, grapes, ...

So far I planted mostly mango. And some mulberry, blackberry, jamaican strawberry tree, banana, black sapote, carambola, acai, moringa,& melons. The iguana ate the melons and about 100 different vegetable seedlings. They don't seem to like mustard greens, tomato or peanuts much?

You might get better advice if you post your location.  Seems to me you are in Uzbekistan? Right?

What Das said, “plant what you like eating”, but try to have something to eat throughout the year.
Mango, avocados, sapodillas, berries and such. Just pick varieties you like.
Don’t rush, take time and enjoy life and food.
