Hi, reviving this thread...

How about a grafted Guava tree, do they have invasive root system? I would really like to plant one in our small pocket garden for medicinal purpose, as well as for their fruits, and they look good as well.

Re: Trees for the Garden

By all means GO GO GO, nice to have 1 or 2 grafted guava tree in a backyard specially the variety that bears big guava fruits, also known as " GUAPPLE ". Having their kind of fruits will supply you with lots of vitamin Cs. :2thumbsup:

Re: Trees for the Garden

Thanks bro rosy!

Re: Trees for the Garden

Bro, another one is to have a Papaya tree in one corner of the garden, the "solo" variety, you will be surprised and amazed when that tree starts to bear fruits at 4 or 5 feet tall. :trampoline::jawdrop:

very light in weight. 😉

Reviving this thread again..

Lately I've been planting grafted dwarfed fruit bearing tress on my terrace..this includes guava, guyabano, mango, american lemon, calamansi, santol, mangosteen, papaya, and dwarfed sweet tamarind. Hoping to see their fruits in the coming months even if they were planted only on big plastic drums and as promised by the sellers . Bought most of them in Samplaloc Tanay but the sweet tamarind and mangosteen were from Talisay Batangas.

Re: Trees for the Garden

So nice to know bro Armand that you are not just a good wood worker but also a lover
of fruit trees. Just hope you have enough space for the manggo, santol, sweet tamarind and
the mangostene, these are still be considered to grow big even though they are dwarfed in the sense, yes they will bear fruits in a short period of time, faster than the regular un-grafted fruit trees.

Anyway just continue caring for your fruit bearing trees and soon it will be bearing fruits for the
whole family to feast and enjoy !! :slurp: 😀

CHEERS !!

Because the trees are planted in plastic containers don't forget to fertilize it every so often. You can either go organic or chemical or a mix. Plus because it is in a enclosure you will have to check if it is getting enough water to survive during summer.

i have been reading a lot about gardening this last few weeks. besides fruit trees which has a lot of other benefits to the owner other than its looks and the shade it gives, one should also consider other trees that has other benefits ... one tree that i'm particularly interested in my readings is the Neem Tree (not sure if the tagalog for it is "maranggo" tree) which is a native of india and indonesia ... it has a lot of bennificial uses, one of which is being a natural pesticide to about 200+ known insects, including mosquitos ... i hope i can find such a seedling here in gensan so that i can plant it in my backyard ... cheers

Boo!

my in-laws visited our place yesterday afternoon and in our discussion about gardens, they mentioned that they have a neem tree (already big) planted in their backyard. they are also aware of the benificial qualities of the neem tree which is why they planted it in their backyard. i told them to make me 3-4 grafts of the tree so that i can also plant it in our backyard 🙂 ... cheers

Boo!

i just got my neem tree (2 seedlings) yesterday. i transferred them into large used cement bags for the time being while i decide where to place them permanently in our backyard. i need to plan it properly so as to avoid over crowding when all these tress starts to mature. lately, my wife also planted some fruit trees (e.g. rambutan, guyabano, papaya, etc) in our backyard without telling me 🙂 he he he ... cheers

Boo!

How about planting Banaba trees ? Ylang Ylang trees (not the dwarf variety )? are their roots also destructive if we plant them in front of our houses here in Manila
