@@BlessingsFruitGarden thanks for watching! I don’t have anything to keep them out, but once they move in I use those terro bait stations. It usually clears them out after a few days. Or sometimes I have to add an extra one.

@@GrowsGoneWild great I will try it and let you know how it works here in north Florida

@@BlessingsFruitGarden good luck!

@@Avo7bProject give it a shot! Would be awesome to see in 7b!

@@jamesreid8638 thanks! Definitely true on the suckers. I have two left for grafting 😂

@@TheGreenAnt you get flowers?

@@miriamreyes3318 hi there. I follow Gary from Laguna Hills Nursery’s soil philosophy. They have their own soil mix called Top Pot, you can buy it from them directly from their nursery. I make my own and recommend an easy mix of equal parts peat moss, pumice, and sand if you are growing in a pot. Thanks for watching!

Damn Rich, I have felt that exact feeling of some random drop hitting me and always wondered what that was lmao. Thanks for the info!

​@@GrowsGoneWild😂

@@jlakindd thanks so much. Happy to hear somebody is watching 😂. How much are you watering? I think most people severely underwater in ground plants, myself included.

@@GrowsGoneWild lol i watch and keep up b/c your more of a realistic situation for most of us backyard avo / fruit tree growers. Everyone else have acres of property and drip irrigations set up. so ofcourse, i cant compare my growth patterns to those who have orchards. i hand water w/ garden hose n the mornings before the sun goes up (5am). i water around 3-4pm when its hottest and rinses the leaves. i water at 8pm when sun is down. i water base of the trunk and around the mulch/dripline for like 30 seconds at time and let it absorb and i go for another round. to complete my watering lol/.

@@jlakindd I get that. Anyone can do what I do, just get some top pot and a 25g pot and water a couple times a day 😂. That sounds like sufficient watering to me. Maybe your tree is focusing on roots more. Do you have any chlorosis or issues with new growth?

@@GrowsGoneWild no chlorosis. the new growth while it was in the pot looked like yours. redleaves, light green... you might be right on focusing in rooting. I just transplanted it last week and its been hot hot. hopefully in a month, roots get established and refocused on growing again. lol now i might need to start video documenting my trees LOL. aug is around the corner

@@jlakindd I’d give it a month or two unless you see it declining. It should focus on roots for a while but will be happier in the ground. You should document it for sure 😂. It’s fun to look back at.

@@mjt2582 they lay on mulberries? Those eggs are going to the floor 😂. I do have a lot of leaf minors on my citrus.

@@GrowsGoneWild they’re all over my citrus too. They’re only active during the hot growing season. The larvae only affect new growth so to minimize impact I just pluck any new growth in the summer otherwise you can prune it off in winter before the Spring push

@@mjt2582 good to know. Thanks.

@@growyourownavocados 💀 🤣

@@everydayanimalswithrainfor1315 oh interesting. It was so bizarre to see when I was watering my plants 😂. Thanks for the info!

That was weird. I've never seen one do that. I found out that one or two are not a problem but many can do pretty bad damage.

@@t.wheeler1969 thanks! I don’t propagate avocados so nothing to sell 😆

@@fruitful_life3 yessir

@@jlakindd yup 15g on their second year. They are between 4-5 ft tall from the soil line. The 25g are 6-7 ft except for the Stewart which is about a foot taller. Pinkerton grows outwards in a weird way and the reed on duke 7 is 5 ft.

@@eligomez7667 gotta pay our respects 🤣

@@growyourownavocados thank you 🙏!

@@ragnaraxelson59 hopefully it makes it!

@@GrowsGoneWild yeh I hope! Holding off fertilizing and extracting budwood until the thing either falls off or grows to golf ball size. But I do want to propogate. The Reed seems to do really well in PNW.

@@ragnaraxelson59 good to know they do well up there. I am pretty blessed with my location and don’t have to worry about a lot climate issues.

@@GrowsGoneWild Well I am highly interested in the results of your container growing. I have kept many of my frost sensitive avocados in containers so that I can bring them in if it gets too cold. I currently have a Duke and Mexicola in the ground. Fortunately they survived the 15F low last winter. A 12 year low for VIctoria.

@@ragnaraxelson59 are you Swincher on GF? I’ve been following your project, if so.

@@RichsTopGardening I wish I could turn some of them into mangos 🤣

​@GrowsGoneWild u need a mango tree first 😂

@@RichsTopGardening my ataulfo seeds growing slowly but surely 🤣

@@r0b0tcat from 5 to 15? No issues but it happened within the same season so the trees don’t stay in the pots for an extended period of time. I have only gone 15-25 one time with the Stewart and had no issues as well. That was also in the same season. I grow a lot of mulberries and they have roots that circle but it hasn’t been an issue. The bigger issue is with the roots having no more space to grow. The tree will start to decline after that.

@@GardeningwithDave you’re very welcome and thanks for watching!

@@robertjureit2574 could help. There are some white grow bags that I’ve seen as well. I don’t think heat is too much of any issue as they are never got to the touch like the ones in plastic pots. Might help with drying out though 👍

@@VirginiaFruitGrower yeah they came in thick 😂. Thank you, G. Nice seeing you back in the comments!

@GrowsGoneWild yep I've been dragging my feet to get back into the youtube groove

@@VirginiaFruitGrower sometimes you gotta take a break 😉

@@RichsTopGardening yes 95% of what I grow is in pots 😂. Longest has been the avocados, they are going on 3 years. Many mulberries have outgrown their 15 gallons but I’m too lazy to up pot to 25g. I will need to root prune or up pot pretty soon.

@@vilsonbarbalho2892 thank you! I would love to visit your country some day 😆

@@1cleandude peat moss breaks down slowly so it doesn’t go anaerobic as quickly as the other forest products like wood or certain barks. Coco coir / coco peat is also not interchangeable with sphagnum peat moss. Respect to you for continuing to try after killing 10 trees! Hard to give suggestions without knowing how your trees failed. Typically, a lot of organic amendments in the soil could cause the trees to get root rot. Or if there was too much wood from the grower, that could be an issue too. The recommendation is to do your best to wash as much if the wood off, and then plant on a mound with sand, decomposed granite, or native soil as the backfill. It could also be a cold issue. Let me know how your trees died and maybe I can give you additional tips. Thanks!🙏🙏

@@GrowsGoneWild I will admit two died excessive cold; my bad. The remaining eight were root rot. Soil was primarily miracle grow outdoor supplemented with sand and perlite to help drainage and aeration. I am convinced that I can grow them in south Louisiana and can protect them from cold. Back to soils I thought peat held water longer than the loose barky organic stuff from the nursery. Any guidance on mix I should be using? Thanks🙏🙏😘

@@1cleandude you might want to look into the cold hardier varieties. But if you can protect them maybe it won’t matter 😂. As far soil, holding moisture is not a problem. My soils are never dry and I have no issues. The problem is the soils that have a lot of wood/forest products in the go anaerobic and rot around the roots, which causes the root rot. If you want to make an easy mix, I’d suggest 1/3 peat, 1/3 pumice, and 1/3 sand. You might have issues if the grower you get your avocado from uses a lot of wood in their mix, though.

@@GrowsGoneWild God bless you my brother I am renewed in my quest for home grown avocados! I will gather the necessary ingredients and proceed with your suggestions. I’m on vacation right now and can’t wait to get home and begin! I’ll update you on future results, subscribe and like your videos!🙏🙏🙏

@@1cleandude hell yeah! Good luck man. I’ll look out for your updates. Thanks for subbing!

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 I need to get me some of that surround! Been meaning to order it since last year!

@@GrowsGoneWild the only down side is appearance but it works and eventually washes off, Avos renew leaves yearly anyway

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 yup, I don’t care too much for looks and would rather spray Surround than use paint. Seems much easier 😂

@@GrowsGoneWild I still sometimes paint diluted white plastic paint only on major trunk and branches that aren't shaded

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 how hot does it get where you’re at?

@@TheGreenAnt trust in Gary 🤣

@@qmoonwalker3847 yes! Some of the heavier bearing trees stay small because they make so much fruit. I’m not sure how long these trees will like the pots, will be fun to find out!

@@jlakindd I got it from Gary early in the season when they first arrived. I think he said in his newsletter that he was sold out. But it never hurts to give them a call.

@@GrowsGoneWild i made an edit to my comment and went back and watched your week 0 video. LOL but yours grew super fast and luteous. my gem i got from gary should be the same age as your JB but not as fast growing and lush like yours. The gem is in a container, might have to start watering it daily with jacks 25 to catch up lol

@@jlakindd hmm, it’s grown in top pot too? Did it hold any fruit? Maybe add more osmacote and jacks 😂

@@Ivanc1218 I’m watering twice a day when it’s 90+. I think once enough is fine with these plants, especially after the fig was up potted, but I have some other trees that dry out quicker so I just water them all twice 😂.

Is it still in a pot? People say it could take 10+ years for an avocado tree to flower and produce fruit. Usually it is a maturity issue, the tree needs to grow to a certain size to produce fruit. Another way to induce flowering is through girdling. You basically remove a strip of bark from the tree to stress it out. This has worked for my friend recently actually. He did it on the trunk, but you can try it out on a branch to see if it works.

@@TheGreenAnt how many you want? 😆

@@shannatran7586 it’s made of peat moss, pearlite, pumice, sand, and biochar. I’d recommend you watch Gary’s video to on soil to learn more. ua-cam.com/users/liveERhYerguWks?si=IqwqqFXPIIeCkPuZ

@@GrowsGoneWild what is the percentage of each kind? How much sand, how much pumice etc..? Thanks for your reply.

@@shannatran7586 Gary is open about the recipe but I don’t like to put it out there since it’s his product that he sells, but you can probably find it online pretty easily. Or at least in the video linked. An easy alternative is to just equal parts of peat moss, pumice, and sand. He has said that pure sand is great soil, but it’s too heavy to use in a large container. The important part is just not having any forest products in the potting mix. Hope that helps!

@@GrowsGoneWild Thank you for your nice reply. Do I need to put any potting soil?

@@shannatran7586 you’re welcome! The idea is to avoid any compost or soils with wood or bark as they will decompose and cause root rot to your trees. So no potting soils in the mix 😃.

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp 5 gallon to a squat 15 gallon. It’s wider than the normal 15g.

@@BRIANLIMBARO thank you!

@@jlakindd I do osmacote plus 2-3 times a year depending if I’m not lazy lol. The jacks is 25-5-15 and I have done it as much as much as everyday for short periods. Otherwise I use it every 1-2 weeks depending on whether I have time. During blooming and fruit set, I don’t use jacks at all for 2-3 months. I’ve had fruit drop in favor of vegetative growth if I add too much nitrogen. I’ve had this experience with feijoas and other fruit as well, except for citrus 😂. These days I’m trying to slow my trees down a bit and don’t use jacks too much aside from the citrus.

@@GrowsGoneWild thats good to know, i been using fish emulsion once a week, i would like to boost the growth on my young trees.

@@jlakindd I’ve dumped jacks daily for at least 3 weeks on mulberries, avocados, citrus, figs, stone fruit, and basically all my trees in pots with no issues. I wouldn’t recommend it in ground as you’d be adding a lot of salt in the soil. Maybe you could try adding more fertilizer to one tree first as a test to see how that goes.

@@GrowsGoneWild i bought the jacks 25 with the added mag and ca. i have half my avo army in ground and other half in pots. the Ones in ground, ill def start once a week and see how they respond to it

@@jlakindd nice! Good luck! I’m sure it’s a typo but jacks in the pots, not in ground 😆.

Thanks so much! So do I 🤣.

@@Avo7bProject these are in 25g containers with the exception of sir prize, which is in a 20g. Have some bigger fruit dropping but still a good amount holding. Will be fun to see how many stay on to maturity!

@@Avo7bProject actually I remembered the 15g ones lol. You’re right. Almost all the small fruitlets have dropped!

@@SPARdb none of these were grown from seed actually. Figs are very easy to root from cuttings so it’s the most common way to propagate them. Also, seed grown varieties would typically not be genetic clones, either.

@@TheGreenAnt thank you bro 🙏. Everyone should grow blueberries!

@@artgarcia2340 Gary had said vermiculite is good at holding water, but it doesn’t like to let go of it. I haven’t used it much in a potting mix mostly because it is quite a bit more expensive than peat moss. So I can’t really comment. I do use straight vermiculite in a ziploc bag for starting seeds though. It works great and I get no mold issues like I used to with a paper towel. Next season I’ll run some tests with vermiculite instead of peat moss for a potting mix 👍

@@GrowsGoneWild looking forward to the video

I heard Gary say in an interview that over time vermiculite can get gummy. He said you could add a tiny bit but overall didn't really recommend it.

@@lauranilsen8988 interesting. Gary has some repeat classes every year but I always watch them as I learn something new each time!

@@Virginia-vn7ud awesome! Do you get a lot of fruit?

Lol thanks! They were in the fridge and needed to get grafted because I thought they might go bad soon 🤣.

That is a great idea. I think my latest avocados roots cooked a bit recently after I moved a planter away from it.

That’s a great idea.

Thanks so much! Wow 7 different ones 👀. That’s impressive! It’s a good sign if your neighbor is having success. Best of luck to your trees!

I wish I had the land to plant all my trees!

@@GrowsGoneWild I rent myself, but have got into the habit of burying all my large containers in ground.

@@ragnaraxelson59 oh nice. Mine survive here in pots. The ones from last year are in 15g but need to go up pretty soon.

That’s right! He’s the reason I have so many avocados 😂. I bought them from him too!

Thank you Rich! You have quite a collection yourself 😉.

@GrowsGoneWild thanks! Just beginning to learn more about avocados and lucky to have a massive rootstock to multigraft with 😅
