Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

    What does bush tucker mean?

    Custard apple will go soft when ripped 🍈

    Wow that’s so cool that you have a Yuzu too! I’ve had mine a year and it’s outgrown every other citrus tree I’ve had for much longer. This year it had one flower lol, but it’s the only citrus I’ve had that had flowers in one year, i’m sure I’ll be getting fruit next year. Happy growing. 🤣👍❤️

    Fantastic video! So interesting!



  5. Sam DP on August 18, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    💕



  6. Lela Marie on August 18, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    What part of the country do you live in? Do ALL of your trees actually fruit? I’m so surprised to see tropical fruit trees and citrus grown alongside things such as apples and stone fruits?? What an amazing orchard!! 🤩



  7. FfejTball on August 18, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    I swear I saw a video of yours that had a mangosteen jam in it that used the rinds, but I haven’t been able to find it. Is it still around?



  8. Terri Winn on August 18, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    amazing



  9. Lermer on August 18, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    30:10 Had a big Loquat tree behind the house where I grew up here in Texas. They taste so good. We call them Japanese Plums.



  10. Jenet Anola on August 18, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    We have cotton candy berry in the Philippines too…we call it here ARATILES



  11. idespise guugleplus on August 18, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    STAR FRUIT 🌟 DOES AMAAAAZING IN A DEHYDRATOR. Cut it up into stars and dry it. It really intensifies the flavour. Like a cross between a dried apricot/apple. Surprisingly good!!!!!!



  12. Self Sufficient Me on August 18, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    G’day Everyone! I tried to get this video uploaded yesterday but alas YouTube had other ideas and the upload failed for some reason… Anyway, here it is – thanks for your support 🙂



  13. Ellen Bettini on August 18, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    I really enjoy to learn with you , but note the star tree is a danger fruit and have killed many people in my Country in Brazil , our Government put a warning against this fruit , it really can kill people with liver and kidney problems.



  14. Samia Elhakim on August 18, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    👍👍👍

    In Arkansas we put the accent on the 2nd syllable instead of the 1st in persimmon.

    Hello, I’m a new subscriber.Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden, we really enjoyed it.
    👍🙏🏽

    Gday Mark, a few trees worth considering for your area. Loganberry tree which is like a Lychee tree, it does well here in Northern NSW, it can handle cooler weather than the Lychee and its just as delicious. Achacha which is like a slightly sourer flavoured Mangosteen and doesnt necessary require a full tropical environment like the Mangosteen, delicious! Did you have tropical pears covered? They benefit from a trellis. Chestnut trees also seem to be doing surprisingly well here, we have 5 of the buggers which produce a large amount of chestnuts for roasting on an open fire. J

    Do you grow any fig?



  19. Kuya Will Mendoza on August 19, 2021 at 12:04 am

    very interesting

    Kia ora.
    You have a madroño planted on your property?
    What fun!

  22. Michael Bradwell on August 19, 2021 at 12:14 am

    Hey mark love to see a garden update like a full tour 🙂



  23. Robin LaRose on August 19, 2021 at 12:15 am

    Hi SSM. I so enjoyed your video. Where do I start. The bananas. You have to trim off all the dry leaves. Cut some of the tubers and give it nitrate. Next the star fruit I think. They are ripened when softened. But be careful. It would have been nice if you knew the mango variety. Hog plums love them. What I didn’t see was….sugar apple…governs plum also known as Bequia plum. It would be nice if you can get these….golden apple. And a variety of mangoes found on the island of st.vincent…here are their names….julie/ grafted mango…paul over…malawai/palawi….those are the most loved. Love love the pigeon peas. It helps me to appreciate that Jehovah created a variety of fruits and foods for our enjoyment. You have me a taste of paradise. The rosella we call it sorrel. Thank you very much. From a Caribbean fan.



  24. Mila Caibal on August 19, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Custard Apple is ripe and ready to pick when it soft when you squeeze it. It will smell sweet and crack a little bit when it is ripe. Very sweet fruit but lots of seeds, though. Do not pick the fruit when it’s not ripe. It will become hard and rotten. You will not enjoy it. Goodluck. 😋😍



  25. ArcticStorm on August 19, 2021 at 12:17 am

    Me: Oh cool let’s see what kind of fruit trees grow in Australia
    Me: (Watches the video)
    Me: I have no idea what any of these fruits are.



  26. jontee ruffin on August 19, 2021 at 12:17 am

    JEHOVAH YHWH BLESS YOU 😚Loved The Plathera Of Fruit Tree Tour😚 Mark and Nena😚THANKS .



  27. LINGKON BISWAS on August 19, 2021 at 12:19 am

    Hey man, give a work to look after the orchard. I am so passionate for this work. I will work at low cost



  28. Hikazaya Nikushi on August 19, 2021 at 12:24 am

    Wow you have everything. I’d like to expand my mini garden someday



  29. Healthy Fresh Homegrown on August 19, 2021 at 12:25 am

    Wow, an amazing tour of an amazing orchard! Thanks for taking the time to show us everything!



  30. Craig Metcalfe on August 19, 2021 at 12:25 am

    Hey Mark! What an enviable collection! I planted my curry tree in the shade in a south facing raised rock bed garden underneath a pink camellia. I did this because an Indian Youtuber said that it would improve the flavor. I have you to thank for identifying the Ceylon Hill (Goose) Berry. I have two in my backyard and up until now, had not found anyone who could identify the plant, Mine are laden with black berries, so you will have to share your jam recipe with me. I will be on the lookout for the Golden Dorset Apple, the Tropical Peach, the Cinnamon Myrtle and the Kalamata Olive to add to my backyard. Unfortunately, I will have to disagree with your Mum (sorry), because my variegated Kumquat is booming, The secret is Seasol twice a month and Citrus Dynamic Lifter once a month, and a layer of compost every year. I treat all my citrus this way, and I have limes the size of oranges, oranges, lemons and tangerines the size of grapefruit. I also have a Hills Hoist that is laden with the most embarrassing array of unmentionables most of the time. Thanks for the tour and the live stream the other day was brilliant even though you probably felt flustered, you were sincere in answering and acknowledging your viewers. You have been my strength since the Pandemic began. Cheers from down the road!

    Hehe! I love the zoom outs that show you filming 😀



  32. Patrick Hartman on August 19, 2021 at 12:26 am

    When are you gonna grow Durian?

    Oooooo, star fruit, chili and ginger jammmmmm. Would you consider posting recipes for things like this?



  35. Victoria C on August 19, 2021 at 12:31 am

    I know your video is a year old, but very new to me. I’d like to Thank You so very much for taking time to share this valuable information with us! Thank You!!!



  36. rosanna burgess on August 19, 2021 at 12:31 am

    Awesome and very beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Good morning!



  37. Justína on August 19, 2021 at 12:31 am

    Do you graft the fruit trees? The ones that aren”t growing too well or producing nice fruit?



  38. susana g valencia on August 19, 2021 at 12:34 am

    From Cayambe South America
    You have a PARADISE Thankyou to show us all that beautiful fruit garden; no necesitas or al cielo,
    Lo tienes ahora, well done.
    I love it THANYOU very much.



  39. Horticultureandhomes on August 19, 2021 at 12:36 am

    Plants with less chlorophyl such as variegated plants are slower growers. Less photosynthesis takes place.



  40. Angel Dongdong on August 19, 2021 at 12:37 am

    this is very inspiring for a beginner like me. Id like to know the distance of each fruit. I started growing some fruits and vegetables her in Japan. my backyard is about 200 sqm.



  41. ThatOneGuy WhoHax on August 19, 2021 at 12:37 am

    Ok you are



  42. ZergiusRocks on August 19, 2021 at 12:38 am

    Regarding the custard apple 🍎 You’ll know when they’re ripe when the skin is already soft and you can peel it off. But it’s best to pick them a few days before they ripen and put them in rice for them to ripen.



  43. USER NC on August 19, 2021 at 12:41 am

    Love the vid and yes i want to see more angles of Washington orange and meyers lemon bush tree. Do you cut tops of trees to keep them all short?



  44. BIG GOVERNMENT IS THE ISSUE AND NOT THE SOLUTION on August 19, 2021 at 12:46 am

    man i wish i lived in a climate like that. im in US zone 6 and the temps range wildly from 90-100F in the summer to some warm 70F winter days but also plenty of 25F freezing days. we can grow a lot of stuff here but i doubt any of those citrus type fruits would grow here.



  45. MasterCommandCEO on August 19, 2021 at 12:46 am

    Very cool! One day I hope to have something like this!



  46. Jha Wanders on August 19, 2021 at 12:47 am

    Hi there, if i have a land to plant i think i will have many fruit bearing trees too. Love watching your Paradise Garden. Stay safe and Hod bless



  47. Peter Yeh on August 19, 2021 at 12:47 am

    hi, what kind of distance you keep between each citrus tree ? from video they looks quiet close to each other around 2 meter only.



  48. Mohammad Sadeq on August 19, 2021 at 12:47 am

    Have you tried growing date palms or Rahmnus



  49. Boba Vhett on August 19, 2021 at 12:48 am

    42:19 "High Ground" hehe



  50. Portia M. Terrode on August 19, 2021 at 12:49 am
