  • Am retired!! Yaaay! Planting 3 mango trees; avocado; key lime; tomatos; watermellon; 4 pomegranate bushes! Pole beans; bush beans! Yaaay! Small house on 1/4 acre! Yaaay!
  • I'm a professional civil engineer in FL. It's worth getting a topographic survey PRIOR to land purchase to identify elevations especially with a business farm. Floods too much; too arid??? Etc.
  • I loved your farm, I have 140 acres that I inherited from my father and I came to this country U.S.A. to work and come back one day and be able to plant everything you have we have plantations but they are old they are abandoned I don't know if I will ever fulfill my dream, I love country life

    Bananas are only inexpensive in the U. S. compared to other fruits because of the import availability. Once the World food shortage crisis hits full swing in the next year or 2, Banana and other fruit imports will drastically be reduced if available at all. Banana prices will skyrocket compared to other fruits easily grown in the U. S. like Apples, Peaches, etc. They would be smart to keep SOME production of Bananas going. Mangoes, Avocados, and Pinnapple will be other max comercial value fruits to be growing in the near future.
  • Use your bananas as biomass for your other fruit trees as in Syntropic gardening. Bananas are excellent biomass!
  • Paul, on windy days. PLEASE, put a wind filter over your phone mic. It will cut the noise. Thanks. Great video.

    Paul you makes me laugh I love what you said retirement should not be sitting on a rocking chair I retired this year and I am also a nurse looking forward to purchasing a farm property in west palm beach

    It is a wonderful solution adopted by this industrious couple to use the land for the purpose of building a fruit tree farm, which gives them so much satisfaction.

    Loved their farm, I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing. I’m also from Brooklyn, and I remember as a kid, eating cherries, figs and apples on my block. Neighbors had fruit trees back then, not anymore all cut down now. Enjoyed the video, I hope to have fruit trees, just a small personal amount. 😊
