A cozy retreat in the backyard Hello listeners It's 5:09 PM on Wednesday evening Thank you for staying tuned to Voice of Hope's Backyard Corner I'm Ding Yue And I'm Xü Ge Thank you so much Brother Xu today—不仅是您亲自到来 but also bringing along so many items and the ones you brought I'm sure will be something many of our listeners will truly love and find fascinating That will also become a major topic of our discussion today Alright then let's hear it from Brother Xu What have you brought with you What aspect of cultivation essence would you like to share with us today Mulberry The variety I'm bringing today is the Pakistani mulberry But many people say the long hanging clusters of mulberries Many people say this is long and slender but that 's not correct—this notion needs to be corrected Why Because mulberries although often described as long in Pakistan aren't actually that long Even one as long as a finger but really authentic Pakistani mulberry it grows extremely tall reaching nearly as high as two stories that tall it can grow that tall so you see It must be a large one— definitely not his mulberry—this one's so big But generally speaking a normal mulberry is the Pakistani variety roughly the length of one and a half finger joints One and a half finger joints The index finger joint isn' t the whole finger— you've got two segments right Is it because the variety is just too good huh No no it's all about the variety Pakistan Its main and most distinctive feature is how tall the trees grow unlike ordinary mulberries Unless there are many mulberry trees in Sangwose they just grow mulberry leaves but don't flower or bear fruit yet they're almost as tall as a one-story rooftop reaching about that height The roof's peak is this high That's a mulberry tree that only bears leaves not fruit But the Pakistani mulberry saint it's about the same height roughly the size of a single room Its roof peak is so high towering as high as its eaves but if you're planning to plant anything well if you're planning to plant anything Take our family for example—like us we have this kind of plant I grow one in a large pot and the other one is planted directly in the ground but the one in the ground It grows much taller than a large pot—about twice as high—yet every year since I plant it directly in the ground I cut off its top when winter comes just like I do with my fence I won’t let it grow any higher because if it does I won’t be able to reach it and using a ladder to pick it would be risky Luckily so everyone can take note Xu Ge's method: if you don't want your fruit trees to become unattainably tall then hurry and do a pruning every winter—actually right now before spring arrives before the blossoms appear Why did I bring Sangsen today Because I deliberately cut this branch—only two days ago I trimmed it off Why did I cut it So you can take it back and try rooting it as a cutting When taking cuttings if the nodes are close together inserting two nodes is sufficient if the space between nodes is longer insert three nodes So this Xue Ge— I'm not sure our listeners quite caught that— Xue Ge is incredibly diligent pruning his own mulberry tree and not only that but also bringing the cut branches to the radio station You can share with our listeners so if you' re interested in growing mulberry trees stay tuned as we continue listening to Xu Ge explain how to propagate them through cuttings If you'd like to actually try it out let's set a time—come to our radio station take one back with you and give it a go yourself Okay please continue Xǔ Ge You were saying about Sangsen After cutting them stick two or three sections into the soil then water them—how should you do it Yes if you're planting them directly skip the seedling stage and don’t place them in a small pot Then once it's grown large enough move it to the ground or into a larger pot—whatever size your pot is just plant it there As long as it's alive it stays in that pot don't waste any more time on it Then transplanting again— of course if you're placing it directly into a pot the pot's opening should be larger how much larger At minimum the diameter should be at least as wide as the one you'd buy at Costco That big planter is the same size as Costco's big planter right Yes the largest one even the biggest one isn't very large—it's just the minimum size The pot must be at least this large but after planting use fresh soil— first lay down chicken or cow manure at the bottom then cover it with soil About the thickness of a chicken droppings or cow dung pile—roughly the depth of your index finger's fingertip—just that thick Then place on top the fresh soil you've bought Press it firmly then insert the stem into the soil burying two or three nodes remembering that the soil must always remain moist when planting any cutting Even if you don't water it it will still sprout you think it's alive so you stop watering —no because the moisture it uses for sprouting is The moisture within its own branches— not the water you provide— is what sustains it once that is depleted it will die quickly So we must pay close attention to replenishing this internal moisture The mulberry from Pakistan that Mr Xu just mentioned — its method of propagation through cuttings — is exceptionally large delicious visually appealing and most importantly widely loved by many It's called antioxidantanti-inflammatory blood sugar regulating and various other health benefits —indeed a pretty good fruit Good right So if各位 listeners I found what Brother Xu explained extremely interesting and am eager to try it myself in a way we truly owe him thanks for not only teaching us how to grow it but also inspiring us to do so Also brought along the cutting from the planted branch and the radio station Thanks Xue Ge And if any of our listeners are interested you can visit our Beautiful Life Shop Come and pick up one branch each How many did you bring Xue Ge Enough for how many audience friends to share Roughly speaking if each person at most please don’t take more than three branches three branches that should be enough for fifty or sixty people Fifty or sixty people— that’s really impressive Actually just bring two sticks If you follow my method of inserting them the success rate is 99.9 percent That means one stick person is more than enough Of course some people want two because it's an extra precaution so we'd recommend getting two—just go ahead and take two okay Don't take too many though so others can have a chance too And if you 'd like to grow mulberries If you'd like to take home this mulberry branch that Brother Xu picked up and try rooting it yourself you can stop by our Hope Sounds Good Life Shop in Cupertino to pick one up This is 10601 South Dienza Boulevard if you can't remember it no problem—just search "Good Life Shop" on Google located on Dienza Boulevard in Cupertino and before you go you can also If you're unsure just give us a call—our shop numberis 510-850-8680 Our store manager is over there—should be around afternoon time he's usually here You can contact him in advance to pick up Brother Xü's mulberry branches Okay regarding growing mulberries— Does Uncle Xu have anything else to advise everyone Just keep it moist Because once you do that as soon as it starts growing leaves the mulberries will appear right after I don't have to wait for summer—can it grow already Once the leaves come out the fruit follows right away That's why I keep saying you must keep it well hydrated—why Because it's already flowering and fruiting it needs plenty of water right now but not to the point where you're soaking it in water—meaning the moisture level in your soil How much water do you usually give it Daily or a few times a week Not really not at all because it's currently in bloom and fruiting so you just need to keep the soil moist You don't need to water it a specific number of times—just check that the soil is moist and that' s fine But at minimum water it at least once a week and really no less than every three days Water it every three days right Or is it every three days you water it Water it once— after you've fully saturated it the first time— then just give it a bottle of drinking water every three days Thank you Brother Xu for this reminder and suggestion Now dear listeners what questions do you have that you'd like to explore further regarding the mulberry cultivation we discussed or any other fruits vegetables If you have any questions about backyard gardening feel free to call us anytime or send us a text at 888-275-1628 Good I see there's already an audience member online Let's take the call now Hello Ms Zhao Hello host hello Hello Brother Xu It's an honor to be part of the show Hello thank you for calling How can I help you Well actually Because there's someone in my family who's They all love eating avocados the grandmother planted a tree a few years ago and now it's bearing fruit Last year it produced over a dozen fruits but last year there were none at all We'd like to understand why or perhaps find out if there's a good method—Xu Ge do you have any suggestions or advice on how we might encourage it to bear more fruit Since neither of us really knows how to care for it properly maybe our handling wasn't quite right so it hasn't produced fruit yet We just want to know the care instructions—how big or tall should it get before we take action It' s already grown beyond the fence Is there a house taller than that Not as tall as a house roughly 1 to 2 meters I'd estimate by sight pretty good We've noted down your question Ms Zhao as it just happens to be time for a break to all our other listeners if you still have questions for Brother Xu regarding gardening and planting please go ahead You can call in now or senda text to 8882751628—we’ ll be right back to continue answering your questions A cozy retreat in the backyard Hello dear listeners Welcome back for another session of Backyard Little World I'm Ding Yue I'm Xue Ge Our hotline is open You can also send us a text message to 8882751628 If you have any questions about backyard gardening feel free to call or send a text message Our gardening expert Brother Xu will assist you On-site we'll address your questions I've noticed the SMS platform has already accumulated quite a few issues but let's first tackle the question raised just now by that friend which is about the avocado originally being a fruit Why isn't it bearing fruit again How should we care for and maintain it properly Xue Ge I have three points to share First of all because last year's temperature was so erratic that's why For most fruit trees growth is not very good and their fruiting rate is also low so you can sense that besides this tariff issue there are also internal factors involved The cultivation of these fruit trees in the continental United States doesn't yield high harvests so prices skyrocket Adding in tariff issues—let's not even get into that Now the second point is this month right now— You must immediatelydrip-water—no not water it normally— drip drip at least half a day to fully saturate it That’s the second point Thirdly You must definitely use chemical fertilizer — a type of chemical fertilizer is called 2100 It's called urea in English it's known as ammonia —go buy that 2100 urea grab it with your hand take two big handfuls of the 2100 urea Just place it next to the fruit tree then water it so the urea dissolves quickly and the roots can absorb it Why Thirdly because right now— Avocado blooms even if you skip this step It will still flower But while it could have produced a thousand blossoms now it might only produce two or three hundred The difference is significant Why Because Avocado has a very low fruit set rate To be honest it's not high Typically it flowers around 500 times but only sets fruit once So just 5% Therefore it's inherently difficult to produce fruit It blooms abundantly yet bears fruit very rarely But if you don't water it nor apply this urea why bother with the 2100 urea in the first place It will trigger flower bud differentiation root bud development its leaf buds will also differentiate differentiation means it will promote flowering and fruiting but if you don't encourage it at all it will still bloom It will still bear fruit but the quantity will be small Understand So this moisture nutrients—none can be missing right Plus this avocado must be planted in full sunlight with ample sun exposure—absolutely essential for fruit trees Almost all fruit trees need sunlight to thrive so if Ms Zhao heard that then whenever they're short on water we'll supply water and when they lack nutrients we'll use the 2100-point system Let's make up for lost time quickly— now that it's January it's exactly the right time for maintenance right The three key tasks Uncle Xu mentioned—fat reduction watering fertilizing and spraying—already make four Right Let's get started on this together Hope this year you'll have a bountiful harvest How about that This avocado Once we hear some good news Give us a call And share the update Our hotline numberis 8882751628 Friends who find it inconvenient to call can send a text message instead — same thing I just saw a message from the friend whose number ends in 5959 asking: wondering if Brother Xu knows whether Taiwan has a better quality of Samsong fruit than Pakistan Is this the longer mulberry variety No the Pakistani mulberry is the longest The answer came quickly because Taiwan's variety is short and small—really short really small I've traveled all over Taiwan and the most I've seen of this Sangsheng is about the length of a little finger Not ten fingers— I remember the wild mulberries I used to eat as a child — even smaller like a thumb— this ten-fingered one is huge— red— yes— So this Pakistani Sangsheng has already grown into a large long-standing fruit This friend also wants to ask Xu Ge what are some good methods for preserving it when harvesting How should it be shared publicly When the sand thorn ripens it starts off green then turns red and finally black when it's fully black it still contains red and green parts within Quickly pick off the black ones right away because if you don't remove them immediately the red ones will quickly turn black so take off all the black ones Just rinse it off and you can eat it— but you' ll never make it in time because this sangseong is extremely hard to preserve it spoils faster than brudol and it's also difficult to pick Why When it turns black it's already soft soft enough that when you pick it a little pressure makes it burst and once it bursts it molds the next day What should you do Can you just freeze it No not really Once you plant it it keeps producing nonstop— every day you can harvest one seed is enough to sustain you and with a family of three or four you'd end up with more than you could possibly eat It'll have to go to the neighbors Then it depends on whether you want to deliver it right away And they'll need to eat it immediately over there Doesn't matter Right now It means you won't have time to eat it Or to deliver it Just clean it up Rinse it quickly with water and that 's it—because there's no need for more it's free from pests and diseases Then after rinsing immediately boil it Once boiled you can add a bit of sugar and enjoy it with After the fermentation is complete wait until it cools down then transfer it into a bottle seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator —not in the freezer Its minimum shelf life is one year — one year at the very least I mean at least one year That’s like jam right Exactly exactly Now I’ll explain the second point — it’s turned into jam You can spread it on bread in the morning— just like blackberry jam —and it's good That 's one way Alternatively you can scoop some out and use it as juice diluted with water Brewed fruit juice Drink it together Good Xuege grows so many of these Harvests are abundant too That's why We have various methods for processing and preserving them Now people aren't limited to just Ask Xuge how to grow it how to care for it how to eat it afterward how to prepare it—now everyone’s starting to turn to Xuge for answers Okay today we’re talking about this mulberry If anyone's interested and wants to try growing them Uncle Hsu is truly incredibly thoughtful—he brought cuttings from the mulberry trees he collected to our radio station to Voice of Hope That way people can just think about it and go ahead and plant them If any listeners would also like to grow their own mulberries one day and eventually enjoy the freedom of having mulberries and mulberry jam whenever they want come visit our Hope Radio Good Life Shop to pick up a mulberry cutting There are actually quite a few available— if each person takes just two it could easily go around to fifty or sixty friends so if you 're interested come visit our Beautiful Life Shop at our Cupertino location It's located on De Anza Boulevard If you're interested friends just give our store manager a call okay510-850-8680 Specific address You can also search it on Google Beautiful Life Shop is located at 10601 South De Anza Boulevard in this Cupertino Good So I hope everyone who's interested can get it ready Then once we've planted the mulberries let's throw a mulberry party afterward okay We should also thank Brother Xu for giving us these seeds and this chance to propagate them Sounds good Our hotline and text messaging platform remain open—we're still accepting calls Right now there's Mr Zhang online Hello Mr Zhang Could you please turn off your radio Otherwise there'll be an echo Thank you OK Can you hear me clearly Very clearly Please go ahead Can you hear me If you can hear me please speak So I have two questions The first one is about mulberries Our Pakistani mulberry hasn't borne fruit in 10 years—Xu Ge what should we do and where should we start to improve it The second issue is about the guava problem Actually the guava from our family's tree really is getting bigger that's true but when we peel it open there's a small section at the base where the flesh turns brown and we're not sure why that color appears These two issues—I'd like to ask Uncle Xu about them—this is where it blooms exactly where the flowers emerge there 's a brownish discoloration here is that what you mean The brown area is at the base of the flower I understand Okay We've noted Mr Zhang's question as it's now time for our break we'll be right back to answer all your queries Hello dear listeners Welcome back for another episode of Backyard Little World I'm Ding Yue I'm Xue Ge Good Now let's hear from Xue Ge regarding the recent phone call and And to our audience friends on the messaging platform joining in to ask questions—first about this Pakistani mulberry tree that hasn't borne fruit in ten years what's going on and what should be done It's strange Just how tall has this so-called Pakistani mulberry actually grown What's missing Water— there's a lack of water Why I keep thinking about how every year the mulberry trees in Pakistan start after late January if you plant them in full sun they begin to It's flowering and fruiting now late January right at this moment it's flowering and fruiting so here's the thing January no matter what you must water it remember to water it its flowers and it will produce more blooms and one more thing You just said you need to give it two big handfuls of 2100 in addition to the points you're giving it you also need to give it two big handfuls of 2100 seconds—have to give Then add a bit more water let it dilute quickly so the roots can absorb nutrients earlier The reason there's no result yet is partly because you shouldn 't let the small branches grow too tall If you do If you make it just a little taller than your fence you'll have to trim it every year cutting it flat on top so you'd better not let it grow too tall each year Each year trim the lower branches only if they are very thin slender and weak otherwise leave them intact and preserve the lower branches Why for instance don't you just quickly cut that hair off now if you could trim it down to the height of your fence Do not trim any of the small branches below just water it give it 2100 and extra points besides you must water it because it's currently flowering and fruiting you absolutely must do this otherwise You still don't have it this year but what about this guava What's going on with this guava Why is mine turning brown It's not supposed to be like this—those guavas are just naturally like that because of the flower stage The part where the flower is attached— because when it blooms and then bears fruit especially not at the floral stalk area but at the fruit's apex that very spot—this is simply how it naturally is just like Dou Qi It's naturally brown when it's like this it originally has four to six pieces put together like this but the half piece fell off Its brown color shows through —it's not a sickness just its natural physiological state there 's nothing to worry about no need to do anything It's not a disease —just that when you're about to eat it if you find it looks unpleasant just use your knife Just trim it a bit and it'll be fine Every guava is like this It is But speaking of which We still have one guava at home Following Uncle Hsu's advice It should now be entering its pruning phase Pruning isn't necessary Your guava tree at home— I can already imagine it— still so small don't go pruning it don 't touch it let it grow as much as possible until it's about as tall as your mud level then that's when you'll know You tell me again I'll tell you again last year it was small yet still yielded five yes let's see if this year we can break that number of five remember to water it and give it that good stuff Thank you for your advice Xie Ge Let's quickly check the audience's messages and questions on the text platform I just saw a message from the friend whose number ends in 7225 asking Xie Ge He wants to trim the Chinese toon tree shorter —can he do it now or should he wait until the leaves have all fallen off Should he cut it now And if so like our own Chinese toon tree— It was as tall as two stories I the year before last I chopped it down in one go so short it was even below the mud Saw it all in one go cut it off completely once it's chopped down it's about as tall as a lump of mud then every time it sprouts five or six new shoots appear and when I cut off the top I stepped on the core then removed the entire stem once the leaf was crushed snapping it off completely and tossing it away since it would sprout again and again You don't want it to sprout again do you It will sprout again anyway because once we broke it off the lateral bud right beside it will keep sprouting one after another and why is that it's already starting to grow and moreover Since it's not very tall yet every time it sprouts new growth wait until it reaches about a foot in height and the new leaves have fully emerged then pick just the fresh tips The tender leaf growing beside it—once you' ve pulled it out and stepped on it snap off the entire stalk completely and discard it because another one will grow right next to it The shoots will keep growing continuously sprouting new tender buds over time—plenty for you to eat Good Thanks XU Ge for your answer and advice Let's move on to the next question—friend with the last four digits 7272 asks: Hello Brother Xu how are you May I ask what variety of mulberry you have Is it from Pakistani mulberry cuttings Yes it is Good Then I wonder if this listener friend here might be interested If you'd also like to grow some This Pakistani mulberry from Uncle Xu's place Uncle Xu has now cut off a branch from his plant You can propagate it by rooting If you're interested come visit our Beautiful Life Shop This is a project by Voice of Hope Specializing in a wide range of health products this little shop allows you to visit our store and pick up these mulberry branches from Pakistan courtesy of Xuke Our shop address is 10601 South De Anza Boulevard Cupertino And if you can't remember it no problem just Google "Happy Life Shop" Before coming by you can give us a call to check with our store manager to see if he's in the store The inquiry hotline is He's usually at Beautiful Life Shop in the afternoon so everyone can go there starting tomorrow you can come pick it up This is the mulberry branch from Uncle Xu from Pakistan—truly thank you so much Uncle Xu After your generous donation I'm thinking Will everyone's questions over the coming period revolve around this Pakistani mulberry There will be all sorts of inquiries regarding the cultivation process—and of course we're delighted I'm also happy to say that we all share a common interest a shared passion so let's continue on to the next question from friend Mei5959 who asks: "Xu Ge regarding peaches " Is it on the father's branch or the son's or the grandson's Is this friend wondering which branch to prune which is why he's asking like this How long exactly is it This peach—grandfather slow father slow or grandson slow Should it be grandson slow because I'm saying now that it's not a climbing vine so it's father slow son slow grandson slow—probably grandson slow I'll explain right away — this peach the peach grows on a lateral bud today it's not growing on a parent branch because even parent branches can develop side shoots and those side shoots As soon as the buds appear the flowers are already there however with peaches it's the other way around—they bloom before the leaves grow and once the flowers have faded by about two-thirds they begin to drop shedding their petals Its leaves only just began to unfurl— usually not until twenty days later do they appear When the peach blossoms are in full bloom you won't see a single leaf but now you You must spray the pesticide right away—remember it hasn't bloomed yet hasn't sprouted any buds you need to spray now Once it blooms spray again ten days after flowering—make sure you do it because if you don't I guarantee all its leaves will curl—this is called leaf curl disease—and they'll eventually fall off completely When it grows back the fruit production will be severely reduced So right now you need to spray it immediately You'll have to wait until it blooms next month—on the first it'll start flowering Then ten days later on the tenth spray it again And when you reach the end of the month spray it once more—make sure you do Why Why spray in late October Because when it's flowering many insects come for pollination but their legs bodies and wings pick up a lot of pests and diseases When its blooming period is ending around late January rather than late February and all the flowers are about to close that's when you should spray to prevent insects from coming to collect nectar and pollen The pest and disease it brings will result in larvae hatching inside the fruit as it grows so when you harvest the peaches will already be infested with worms Therefore especially when you're harvesting you' ll find worms inside the fruit By late February you absolutely must apply the pesticide Yeah got it Thanks Xu Ge for the reminder Now that it's time for our show let me say once more to everyone— If you'd like to grow Pakistani Sansen Xue Ge has provided cuttings they collected from their own garden—come pick them up at our Hope Voice Better Life Shop in Coketown Bianza Volover above Check us out
