(both laughing)
- Look, who's back.
- I think it's time.
- I think it's time for the fruit tree boys to
throw a little party, a little Fiesta.
(laughing)
If you will.
This is the fruit tree Fiesta.
Welcome to the tree nursery guys.
This is where we put all the trees that we always
tell you we're gonna plant.
And then we never plant them.
Well, not today.
We're actually planting them for first time.
- We're over it!
- I'm over it.
But when I'm not over are these figs.
Look at these things.
- See a little break here, huh?
- Yeah. Well, the problem is none
are actually quite ripe yet.
The ones that were we ate in the last video,
but this is the sexiest little fig tree I ever did see.
But anyways, we're not here to talk about the figs.
We're here to complete the citrus hedge.
It's been a year and four, five, six months.
- In the making, it's happening.
- Yeah. So there's two more trees to go in.
So let's select those right now, Jacque.
Looks like we've got the Calamansi here.
- And then I've got the Oroblanco.
(grunting)
(laughing)
- That thing is heavier than I thought.
- It's looking good.
- Perfect for a Fiesta, right?
(laughing)
So here's what we were thinking.
The Calamansi, I can't say I'm gonna be using this,
certainly all the fruit.
I mean, you kind of physically can't.
- I certainly can't.
- But my fellow Filipinos, I can't not plant it.
Okay? So even if I don't use it all, it's gonna sit there.
It's gonna look very good.
Salamat, okay?
So then we wanted a mellow gold grapefruit.
Couldn't get it.
So we have the, Oroblanco, another great variety.
Let's hoist these over.
Bring them to the fiesta.
- It looks like I got the easy one.
- You got the easy one. Yeah.
(laughing)
So the problem with this,
the challenge we're gonna run into right now, guys, is,
you remember we chainsawed down the old grapefruit,
and we hit it with a stump grinder
in our last episode a little bit ago.
- [Man With Hat] It was done in style.
- It was done in style.
But the problem is we've got this irrigation hookup,
fully functional.
It's actually really nice, the way we set this up.
Remember it's that flexible tubing,
so you can just move it outta the way for now.
But if we're following our citrus hedge rules,
of four feet, four feet, four feet, which is very tight.
- It's just what we did.
- That's what we did.
It kind of puts it right in this zone here.
And so you're thinking literally ripping out another stump?
- I think we might be able to cut it out with a quick saw.
- I just watched you spring back.
- Oh, I heard the crack. - I heard something.
- Or is that the handle?
- Is it the handle?
- I don't know.
- Remember that game, Operation?
- Yeah.
- As a kid.
- I was decent.
- I was gonna say maybe bad.
(both laugh)
- We got shaky hands.
- Do you?
And in a future episode, guys, what we're gonna
have to do is actually extend our irrigation system.
'Cause there's a couple plants here that just aren't on the
plumbing because they didn't exist when we set it all up.
So you'll see that in the future ep.
- I see some chips. Might need some Stoggles though.
- Coming through with Thor's hammer.
(lightening sounds)
(laughing)
There's no way I'm doing this correctly.
- I know.
- I think I got it. - Oh, there it is.
- There we go.
How much human effort to just do that?
- Imagine if we didn't have a stump grinder.
- Imagine being in 2000 BC.
That's your whole life.
- This one would be a...
- I think we've talked about this before,
but we're going high,
'cause citrus likes to breathe.
It doesn't wanna sit in anything wet
and we don't really get that much rain.
But when we do, we don't want it to just sit in that water.
- Well, what we've noticed too is the clay here
guys is very clay.
And so when you do get that rain,
it stays wet for weeks, weeks, weeks.
- Yeah.
- And honestly we did that very high method
and look how the citrus orchard has done.
I don't think we need to be concerned about
- switching it up, - Nope.
- When we know what we just did works really well.
What we're gonna do now, guys,
we'll cover this up with mulch.
We'll throw a hose on this to just let this soak in,
and we'll show you the next plant that just came in.
I didn't even know what was coming, but one
of my favorite fruits of all time.
- I've never had it.
- Well, here we are my friends.
This is the Kohala Longan.
Also known as dragons eye.
It is in the soap berry family.
It is related to Leche.
It is related to Rambutan.
So any of those sort of fruits
that have that translucent flesh.
- Does it taste similar?
I've never actually had a long.
- It tastes similar.
Yeah. It tastes similar.
It's you'd have to have 'em side by side by side
to really say this one tastes like this. You know?
- I do know that I like Leche
more than Rambutan.
- I like Rambutan simply for the look of it.
- The look, yeah.
- The look is incredible.
- It does look really cool.
- That sort of spiky thing.
Okay. So what we're putting it in is,
we thought we had a place for this in the garden.
Turns out we over calculated a little bit.
Weirdly with this much space,
we're still finding ourselves a little crammed,
but what we have here is just a five gallon air pot.
I actually have been using these maybe since the beginning
of Epic Gardening.
- That's a long time.
- Yeah. In my old place.
And so this is a five gallon.
We actually carry that on the store now,
if you wanna check it out.
It's kind of cool,
it like folds up and then you screw it
in with these little guys right here.
But either way, a good way to put it into a holding zone.
- Exactly. The thing that I potted up
my avocado and my Leche into one of these,
because you could make the mix pretty heavy and retain a lot
of water, and the roots can always have access to oxygen.
- Yeah.
- So when we wanna transplant it, we just unscrew it.
- Unscrew it. Yeah.
- The whole root ball's ready to go.
- That's the beauty of it. - Yeah.
- So that'll be really cool.
This is just a standard raised bed mix.
So it's not ideal, but we've got a pile of it.
You should use what you have around the garden.
- It does have a little compost, which is nice.
- Yeah. There's some stuff in here.
Sorry if I'm dusting you a little bit.
- A little bit.
- Now, we are just gonna hit it with a little water,
and we'll put this back in the nursery for now.
Why don't you guys tell us where you think we should put it
in the homestead?
'Cause we're a little strapped for ideas right now.
All right, Jacque.
Why don't you tell the folks the redemption
story we're about to undertake.
- We're gonna go two avocados, one hole.
And let's just say, this is the third?
- It's at least the second time.
- There's always a second time.
- It's the second two in one.
Honestly not our fault.
I'll say that much.
- Yeah.
- The first one, I actually don't remember what happened.
But the last one got moved twice
because it was exactly where the pond was.
- Yeah. - So, that's fine.
- So that's would you rather have a pond
or sacrifice your avocados?
I think we know the answer guys.
That thing is beautiful.
- It's been answered.
- Well here we have 'em.
The two brothers that are going in.
Hoffs and fuerta.
I think got the forte.
You got the hoffs.
Here's the logic guys.
If you're a member from a very old video,
we tried to put it right over there.
We thought we'd be blocking the water tank.
And that would've been true,
but it just was where the pond is gonna be.
We've decided we're gonna put a passion fruit trellis there,
which will be coming up on the main channel.
But this area, we still want to keep it in this area.
Why? Look right there.
That is where our neighbors avocado tree is.
We don't know the variety, but we do know
that it's an avocado and it should increase pollination.
- Right.
And both, I think one of these is type A, one's type B.
- Yes.
- This is bound to be either A or B.
- Yeah. - So overall more production.
- We either have two A's and a B,
or two B's and an A.
Either way, it's gonna work out really well.
- Yeah.
- So we're gonna do the double.
- Were you thinking like here?
- Yeah. I'm thinking literally right where you're standing.
- So. - Okay.
- Far enough away from the pond,
that the canopy eventually might give it a little bit
of shade, far enough away from the wall so
that we're not dealing with any encroaching on our neighbors
and the canopy spread is still accessible on our side.
And then far enough away from this area,
there might be an epic jacuzzi.
And then far enough away from this zone,
so it doesn't encroach on a future growing spot.
So I'm gonna start digging.
- Maybe I'll get another shovel.
- Yep.
- Wow. I feel like this soil.
Woo. This is some hard soil in here, dude.
- Woo. All right.
So avos. Don't touch these roots.
Just let 'em go.
Just don't touch 'em at all.
I'm so tempted though.
- I know. - I really wanna like.
- Just like.
- All right.
So now it's just a gentle backfill.
No stress, no problems.
(light music)
All right.
The boys are sweaty here.
- Some dusty brows. - Looks like.
- Honestly guys that Fiesta got a little too crazy for me.
Got a little too Loco for both of us.
We might need to take a dip in the pond.
We'll finish it off here with a little watering montage.
You gotta get these plants in the ground and
you have to water them in well.
Remember this was just like some top soil fill,
with a little bit of the native
and so you need to make sure you actually
settle that soil around and we'll
keep an eye on these over the next, I don't know
month or so, while we get irrigation set up.
But until next time guys, thanks for joining the Fiesta.
Good luck in the garden and keep on growing.
(light music)
- Salamat.
