Today I'll be taking you through the whole process of how I grew fruit trees from store bought fruit, including growing some from seed to harvest. I share updates along the way to show you what happened with each type of fruit tree. We'll also go over some growing requirements to help you get started with learning how to grow different plants, vines and trees in your garden.
I've selected 7 store-bought fruits to grow with each one suiting a slightly different climate, so you should find one in here that you can grow in your garden wherever you live in the world.
We'll be growing pomegranates from seeds to fruit, as well as growing goji berry plants (wolf berries), dragon fruit, peanuts, tamarillo, papaya and kiwifruit (kiwi).
Experimenting with this kind of thing gives you more that just a plant or fruit; it also helps you to learn skills of how to grow different trees from seed, care for plants with different requirements and it can lead to many other skills or passions down the track, like grafting, growing you own food and many other interests. At least it did for me!
I hope you find this guide helpful and it inspires you to get out there and grow something :)

Note that these are different to my one (as the one I have is only available in NZ). Plenty of different options to choose from on this link.
I just have mats with a set temperature, so no need to get one with a thermostat controller, unless you want to :)

    This man made a 16 minutes video out of a 2-4 years experience. MAD RESPECT
  • @Gatrax
    I've never once gardened and here I am, watching a man tell me about how to grow things.

    Youtube algorithm is something else
  • I cannot realise that this video contains a 6 YEAR PROCESS .I have huge respect for this man . This is called EFFORT 🙏🙏
  • @hanvyj2
    My 3/4 year old would plant any seeds she found. We'd find little apple or lemon trees growing out of any household plant pot within toddler-reach.

    I once found a potato quietly burried in one of the flower beds.

    I had a roommate that would throw compostable waste onto the small dirt patch outside our patio. She moved out this past May, and I started noticing some weeds that were growing. They sprouted some pretty yellow flowers and grew from the dirt through the fence of our patio and close to our back door. Eventually I noticed three small melons that were growing and I was so amazed! The rainy season was ending but I took to watering the plants everyday since, and I’ve already gotten to eat some sweet cantaloupe❤️ I’m new to this but I am a very happy plant mom, haha even though I became a mom by accident. I can’t wait to keep growing more. Your videos inspire me!

    Me, a Canadian with winter right around the corner: I'm gonna grow ALL the tropical fruits!!
    Edit: If your comment is "I'm from [x] and this is what it's like for me!" or "If you buy [a+b+c] then you can grow anything!", you can rest your fingers, your people have spoken. If you have something else, fire at will!
  • This remembers me time. My dad brought wolf berries packed from China. They were supposed to be eaten as they are useful for health problems especially for older people. We gave it to grandparents, but they didn't like it and threw it to the yard in winter. We went to visit them in summer and saw unusual plant in the yard. Asked grandpa and he was not sure and guessed some kinda wild plant. After a year or so bushes gave a fruit and it was a wolf berry. Found out later that the weather and environment in our area (Central Asia dry areas) is similar to where these berries grow. It was mind blowing for me back then.
  • Wow you’re like best plant teacher I’ve seen on YouTube. You don’t talk too much and get straight to the point, and you mention mistakes etc.. I’m glad you popped up in my feed!! Thank you and please keep making useful vids like these!!!
  • There's so many clickbait type videos showing you how to germinate seeds and they never deliver. Then there's you giving the full rundown of everything and some amazing advice to boot. Great job, thanks for sharing your passion!
  • I grew jalapenos from seeds from store-bought jalapenos. I ended up with 14 plants and hundreds of peppers. I pickled a bunch, plus made jalapeno jelly and ate a lot fresh. I want to try more after watching this!
  • This video has helped me a ton, and I have referenced it many times while growing a lot of these. Thanks so much for the awesome content!
  • I remember when I was kid I had buried a peach seed in our back yard after I had ate it. shockingly 10 years later we had a peach tree and my dad cut it down because it was right next to our porch and would attract nats and bugs. I was so sad that the seed I planted as a kid actually did grow with out any love and care in our backyard. it managed to survive through harsh winters and crap weather and then my dad just went and cut it down anyways. :( Broke my heart
  • This just reminded me of the time my mother planted a papaya in a small garden at a rental unit. It actually grew and had 3-4 papaya's on it before we had to move out, but we moved only down the street and were able to see the poor thing die a month later because the new inhabitants didn't take care of it. I was so mad for my mom.
  • When I was a little kid I tried to do some gardening. The “gardening” in question was planting a baked pumpkin seed (left over from Halloween pumpkin carving) in sand and then watering it once a month or whenever I remembered to. In a desert. Needless to say I didn’t get any pumpkins.
  • i’m on a trip in alaska right now and was cutting lemons two weeks ago and noticed one of the seeds with a small sprout… i put it in a water with and now it’s has 4 leafs and is getting so tall!! it’s genuinely so fun watching it grow a tiny bit everyday!!! loved this video i definitely want to grow more plants from seeds in the future
  • I am an Indian, living in Canada. My lunch consisted just of fruits when I was in India, I really miss those tropical fruits very much, unfortunately store brought fruits in Canada are no were near to the fruits I enjoyed back in the old days. I wish everyone gets the opportunity to try what we had in India. I heard Jerusalem also have awesome fruits I tried mango once will never forget the experience. I ate even the skin it was that tasty 😋
  • @Cristofre
    I randomly stuck a peach pit in the ground about 8 years ago, for the last three years or so I've been eating fruit off the tree that came from it. It actually does much better than the three grafted store bought peach trees I have.
  • I'm glad my grandparents taught me how to garden since I was a little kid. Banana trees, avocados, papaya, and passionfruit ( when the season comes,) and tomatoes. I learned a lot growing up and teaching my daughter how to grow her own food has been rewarding. I miss my grandparents. I'm glad they I learned this when I was young in Puerto rico and st. Thomas

    I stopped this video to go plant 15 pomegranate seeds that were headed for the compost pile. So awesome! Thank you!
