RickBond's Garden - Fruit Trees 
Part of channel(s): Here is a look at what I've planted since Hurricane Katrina destroyed my yard. Yes, I know the first set of trees are too close together. The problem I have is almost all of the property is only about 1 foot above the water table and the trees need better drainage. So the few higher places I have, I cram trees on. Next year I hope to have a vegetable garden again. I hope to see other LLers garden videos

Really nice. I'll savor this rare Liveleak moment in which there was not one mention of religion, irreligion, evil conspiracies, gay marriage, pot cultivation and concealment, or the superiority/inferiority of any race or ethnicity.

I have heard he buys his fruit trees off a black Mexican muzzie fudge packer.

Great garden you have got there, love the fruit trees. I grow lots fruit and veg but am truly jealous you can grow lemons in your climate.

@spellingpolice
Thanks SP. The lemon needed to be covered the first year I planted it, but I think it will be OK now.
There's lots I can't grow that you probably can: I gave up on apple. I won't even attempt cherry or apricot. So, it's give and take. With this climate comes hurricanes though - something I don't believe you worry about there. Cheers!

Thanks Sloop. I love working in the yard. I just haven't made the time to do it as all I seem to do is handle business and work on my house. Insomnia and stress been too much, so this is my therapy. Where's your garden video this year Sloop?

For me to have a garden like that I'd need at least a million quid or 1.5 million dollars.
You seem well spoken Rick are you a native to there? as no mention of squealing like a pig or you look mighty purty today ;-)

I grew up in CA and moved here in 1991. I still can't say "y'all" correctly, but if I say "you guys" I will get laughed at

I hope you'll do a follow-up later in the year and show us when all those trees are bearing fruit. I enjoyed that, and I agree with John. Nice to have a break from religion, race, and tin foil protest vids. Voted.

if your trees are standard rootstock that there grafted to it will take like 15 years before there a problem and if you prune them properly it shouldn't be a problem,you need to restrict the roots of the fig it will grow better.But thats a british perspective the weather there looks better than here by a long way.

@anglosaxonwarlord I'd rather have our climate than have hurricanes like Katrina blowing through it.

Yes, they are standard rootstock. I had no idea that the water table might not be a problem. Tomorrow I'll call our local agricultural authority and find out for sure. Thanks!

Yep, the hurricanes can be a real downer! I posted a couple videos of my place last year when a tropical storm went through. The pomegranate bush shown here is about 2.5 feet high and it was completely submerged.

@RickBond Love your property!
If it is a problem,you can plant any future trees in bottomless planters(flower beds) to raise them up a foot or two.

very cool video man.. pretty inspirational to me
good reading in the comments too, cool to learn what a Bayou is and didn't know that you couldn't grow apples or cherries there!

@gatcontrol
Thanks Gatcontrol. Apples are possible, and they're easy to find. 3 years ago my GF and I bought one each. I planted mine in a great location and she planted hers in her very shady yard with poor drainage. I tended to mine but it died after 2 years. Hers is doing OK but no apples yet.

Alligators can get HUGE here! But they are relatively shy and not a dangerous problem if you don't do anything stupid. I do worry about my dog though.
Snakes? Oh, I think I recall seeing one... j/k, snakes are very common here. Cottonmouths are the most dangerous (and aggressive). Even after living here over 20 years my heart skips a beat when I walk down the steps and there's a snake I've almost stepped on. Year before last, there was a HUGE and AGGRESSIVE cottonmouth I almo More..
