Use gypsum on your tree in the ground 😎

man that Poncho looks great! My Lila prob set over a hundred fruit this year, but has dropped all but maybe 15.. my fantastic has dropped all but one but thats expected from transplant/shipping shock.

Everything looks great. I’m located in Gainesville, so it’s awesome to see someone north of me growing with such success.

The poncho is looking really good! The bananas are looking great too. You just reminded me I need to get my bananas planted.

I bought one of those Panchos from Home Depot a few months ago in the winter. I couldn't believe it can handle down to 18 degrees! Can't wait to start grafting it into seedlings and making more of them. You sound like an older Napoleon Dynamite by the way - that's a compliment.

I just upplanted Two trees a Poncho and a fantastic here on the Mississippi gulf coast zone 9a. I'm going to leave them in pots for a couple years because I have to build a couple rather large raised beds for them being so close here to the water table. I look forward to hopefully being alive long enough to have nice big trees like that and hundreds of fresh home grown avocados😜😋❤️👍 !!!

It is so sad to see this happened. As I know watering before freezing is BAD idea, water turns to ice while freezing and roots that was soaked in it getting frozen too especially those close to surface.

Wow. I just planned two avocado trees in my yard. I live in the panhandle.

Thats an awesome tree! Do the homeowners have any idea how old it is? As I said before, Im in Ft Walton and have never seen an Avocado of this size in our area, of course its in the front yard so easier to see.. Is this person a neighbor? You should take a cutting and graft it if they would allow!

You need a Pancho avocado. They're good down to 18 degrees.

Nice brother!

How far down did you place the bricks around the Pancho?

That's so cool. I'm in zone 9a Mississippi gulf coast. About 3 miles north of the gulf. I was up at a garden shop a few days ago and got their last two avocado trees a Poncho and a Fantastic. Got them at a discount because they are looking a little sickly. Going to up pot them tomorrow and check for any root rot. Mine were a little over 5 foot tall but pruned the top off . Hope to get mine in the ground in a couple years but want to protect them for a couple years

Waw awesome ❤❤❤

Lila is looking good this year for me.

Looks good! Keep growing.

Oak leaves are super nice for composting. Your lucky to have them.

I know the feeling of checking an avocado tree daily, to see how the fruit develops.

Also, where did you buy your 30 gal plants?

Nice! Im just down the road in FWB.. I have Bacon, Lila, Winter mex, hall, and just ordered a fantastic. My bacon and Lila are 3 years old now and the lila must have set 150 fruit this year.. tree is only 10ft or so, will likely drop many. Bacon didnt flower til much later., and not many flowers.. however it had some cold damage from our cold snap in jan.. its made it 3 years uncovered so im happy with that. cheers.

Great video 😊

This year was much better than last year for freezes

I have a 1 year old fantastic with 3 fruits on it it's in a 5 gallon homedepot bucket and a same age lila with 5 fruits 3' tall 5' wide tree in a 10 gallon pot seems like they like wide pots. They were both grafted 5/23 came in 1 gallon pots.

I'm not sure where your location is, but I'm in Pensacola. Where are you purchasing those mexican advicados. From your videos, I should be able to grow one.

Feed, feed, and more with this wood chips rhat suck up the N . Good luck with your garden!

Looks great. In most cases "Fantastic" is Del Rio. I have one bought at Lowe's in Georgia that ended up being a Lila/Opal. Good luck with your avocados. You have some nice cold hardy varieties now.

So glad you are posting videos from FL 9a. I have 10 varieties of avocado, an expensive test for 9a but you never know unless you try. Thank you for sharing. Best wish!

Hi from Ft Walton beach.. Currently have a 3 year old bacon, and 3 year old Lila.. Bacon suffered damage in 22, but survived and has grown back nicely, this years cold damaged some leaves but thats it. My Lila has never had so much as a brown leaf, including its very first year. That plant is tough. Just added a Hall, and a winter Mexican. I grow all quite a few bananas, citrus, peaches, apples, pineapple guava etc.. Glad i found your channel. Cheers.

Beautifull avocado trees this is very interesting video

Great update, It's nice to see the Poncho doing so well. Hopefully, you get some fruit from it this year 🤞

It take christmas lights and or 12gph microsprinklers to keep plants warm and some protection from wind if its windy

Looks like Mexicola?

where you bought the Mexicola tree

These is how my trees get in the summer and i also live in zone 9A central valley

Looks good 👍

What's the temperature going to be? I have a poncho in ground 1 yr and it got one brown leaf at 28f, it was a 3 gal planted in may, the frost blanket is supposed to touch the ground to trap the heat. But better than nothing

I also stuck tomato cages under my covers, to reduce contact with the leaves.

In my tropical warm house I'm expecting a sizable banana harvest again by around June, there will probably be around 100 bananas. Dwarf cavendish, the Central American fruit banana, these are the ones you can buy in stores everywhere, but of course they taste even better when harvested when fully ripe . Greetings from Germany

Leaf miner is a big problem for me too. Neem oil did not help. Will try the stickies you have.

For pineapple guava Scion’s check out Fruitwood nursery in I California. Best prices out there. I’ve gotten great stuff from them.

That was a tough break, for the weather last year to get into the teens in your area. But this being an El Niño year, the 2024 winter in the southeast USA should be a little warmer and wetter than normal.

I’m in 9a (Ocala) and my Mexican Avacados seem to do fine in the cold. Fantastic and Brogdon.

Looks so beautiful and healthy 😍

Avocado surviving 19° that’s awesome!! I need to get me one of those varieties. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. Your avocado trees look great. I live in the panhandle, NW FL. Last year my pineapple tree survive without cover when we had a couple of nights below freezing.

wow, that tree took off. Never heard of poncho. Your trees look really healthy

Does watering before a freeze help with the cold?

The Poncho is a beautiful tree. Just be careful with that sucker shooting up from the rootstock at 1:20. That should be removed. Otherwise, the Lula will take over and the Poncho may die off.

Thanks!

That's a hefty gamble to plant a 30 gallon tree... 🤔I have only been willing to experiment in the 3-to-7 gallon range. Cheap ventures. Learn a little - adjust - maybe buy something else in another year. Covering the graft with sand is a plausible strategy. Maybe pea gravel would also have the same effect. I never picked up a Fantastic (also called Pryor/Del Rio). The description of the fruit sounds more like a dense, "grilling-style avocado" and didn't catch my interest. But it is reputed to be perhaps the most cold-hardy of all varieties.
