@@lion5452 the key is building a strong root system than reducing stress. Mulch, water during heat waves, shade if possible. Once they are mature it get easier

@@raulcasas4548 stress will definitely affect how much if any fruit are held. I have a mixed bag, some of my trees are holding the most fruit it has ever generated while others drop all of them. We'll see, we have fruit so that's good. Thanks for watching!

@@vegardno I think I lost track of this seed. If this is productive locally then it would definitely be something everyone should consider.

Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Just bad news because they're still going to try to charge the full fee for us back yard gardeners. I'm not willing to spend the full 500$+ to get just 1 tree, crazy. I'll keep the community updated once I hear more.

@@AvocadoTalk I see, yeah, was curious. I'm a commercial grower and I like the idea of a small B type tree to use as a pollinator for Hass and Gem trees but I think the fee structure is a no-go. Also, what if you wanted to sell your farm, that liability I suppose would have to be paid off. Anyway I don't think it will take off with Calif growers.

@@gypsy317 A lot of hype, until I see and hear more proof that it is what it is then I'm slow to jump in. On the flip side, I am just an enthusiast so I wouldn't mind playing around to see if it is any good. SC Gold might be a better bet.

Not sure what you can get where you are at but there are some "B" Type. All very good to excellent tasting. Kona, Kahalu'u and Edranol maybe best tasting : Bacon Edranol Ettinger Fuerte Hellen Jim Bacon Kahalu'u Kona Sharwil Nabal Oro Negro Queen Sir Prize Nimlioh Zutano

@@AvocadoTalk wow nice list tannage is local I've see it. Much appreciated sir.

@@mototechsam3051 I've heard of people begging able to get Oro Negro out there and it being productive. Good luck!

Keeps me busy! Thanks for watching, hope your FL varieties are doing well this year!

@@AvocadoTalk they are doing well. Getting lots of fruit. Keep us updated on the size of the fruit and everything!

extra water for now

Yes my clonal are handling the heat much better. Gem on Zerala gets less water and holding fruit whereas my unknown rootstock from la verne Gem isn't doing anything. I think I have time but is it worth it to water in the hopes of it finally making it. I might just get Clonal and replace them sooner than later. If yours are holding the fruit than you might be ok.

I thought it sounded cool when I first heard it, it is not for everybody but it is all good. Thanks for watching!

@AvocadoTalk love the videos . Good work

@@eligomez7667 Don't give up. Do it again

I think it's because we had a weird year this variety didn't like it. My Edranol lost everything. Plus I didn't fertilize at all this year, maybe that had an effect but the other trees did ok so who knows. I'm still experimenting

@@bruinbiochem06 yeah, I even considered using a copper sheet as a root barrier.

Always a work in process, I just fixed another water leak just now. With this heat coming on, make sure your trees stay hydrated. You've been around since the beginning so I appreciate it and do learn from your comments!

I totally agree but it's hard work. The top section where I have some of my trees, I just can't keep up. The crab grass is just crazy and the kurapia is strong. I did a better job when I had less trees. I had a lot of mulch and it kept the weeds down but then it over took the mulch. The bottom section, I have a good amount of avocado leaves and it's helping. The section where I like have a little green really for the kiddos and their volleyball but it spreads. Fun times.

I can't catch up to all your jujubes and dragon fruit but I'm working on it. Fun nonetheless.

@@AvocadoTalk Very cool that you are growing both jujube and dragon fruit too! I am really impressed with all your avocado trees and fruit production, very impressive my friend!

@@marcus-ds8yj Jeremy Blake - Heaven and Hell . Just sounds cool, maybe not avocado appropriate.

@@RareAvoTreesI actually ordered a bunch on my last batch from Brokaw. I ended up selling a lot of them to people who wanted them and didn't order originally with my first order. One of the newer ones I got is Zerala, ordered Leola, Tami (VC801), Ben-Ya’acov1 (VC66) and Miriam (VC218). Should have kept them and planted instead of the GEM from la verne .

@@AvocadoTalk nice I bet they were happy I'm getting about 30 in a few weeks from Brokaw on about 6 different rootstocks, no dusa or Duke 7 on the list.i may sell a few of my extra also.

Awesome, what did you get? Variety and Rootstock? I'm just curious...

@@AvocadoTalk,,,, the ones I got where Maluma,gem and Hass for the Hass I will likely turn in into a 2 or 3 way tree but some rootstock I wanted was only on Hass,i would have got lamb but not avail till 2026.

@@AvocadoTalk I will also graft Cannonball avo to some of the new rootstock, Cannonball runs to 3 pounds but perhaps on clonal rootstock I can get 3.5 or 4 pounds if the right match up is found.

@@chrisinsley5880 I remember when it got to 110+ here and it killed a lot of the avocados, make sure you keep them hydrated. Another thing, spray them down in the middle of the day multiple times if possible. Once you get past the heat wave it gets easier. Good luck to us all!

I get it, I go back and forth with music and no music. Extra low volume next time and I do change things up here and there. It is all about the avocados and the journey, thanks for watching and being a sub!

Hass planted in '21, 15 Gallon. Other 2 Hass and Jan Boyce 2 months earlier, 5Gallon and it look like it will take over the 15Gallon.

Excellent! Fun journey. Lately I have been using a organic fertilizer made by a company called TRUE.ag. I buy a bag of cow or chicken manure, mix in the TRUE and throw it out. When you first start, they say you can do a light fertilizing monthly then second year bi-monthly, than 4 times a year. I think just 3 times a year is OK. Sorry early spring, than summer and fall. This year I didn't fertilize at all and things are OK, it would probably do better if I used some. With that said, you don't have to use organic, my local big box store carries a citrus and avocado fertilizer that has worked just fine for me. Good luck, I'll headed to Maui soon!

You can not win them all but it is fun to try. Stay cool with this heat we got coming!

Quick Question - When did you stop using shade cloth for your younger trees?

@@neurocognitive at this point most of my trees are big enough now that I don't need to use the shade cloth. I also noticed that if I water more I don't really need shade cloth. On the really young trees and especially the new growth that is really tender I use surround WP. This seems to be easier than managing it with shade cloth. The key for me has really been about getting the root ball established. I have a couple of trees that are super small that I will still put shade cloth over if I do put them into the ground right now. So really kind of a balancing act more shade less water Les shade more water.

@@AvocadoTalk Thanks for the detailed response. I have sprayed my trees with Surround WP, and they still burned. I then added the shade cloth, and that seemed to do the trick. I also kept them watered, and also did foliar spraying with water on especially hot days - multiple times per day. This is with the young potted trees, but with the 105 temps and direct intense sun conditions, I still lost 3 trees last summer. The ones I lost did not get the shade cloth until later, which was too late. Thanks again!!

If you got luck and have a around rootstock then it's possible to grow a decent sized avocado in a pot, I recommend the larger pot the better. These trees I show are clonal rootstock which is a double grafting process but you are guaranteed a rootstock of your selection.

Sorry mean to say strong rootstock

My bacon started at just 2 feet tall and has been really productive. Also the seeds have made great rootstock. It's actually one of the tougher varieties that I have and produces my first set of fruit for the year. Some say get a mexicola but I would rather have the bacon. Just protect them when they are young, once the roots get established, it get easier.

This year the fruit set was epic, I'm having trouble keeping the fruit. The honey and water probably helped yours even more, congrats!

Congrats you got both, the lamb might be easier to manage in the pot. You are better off putting them both in the ground if you can. A Gwen in a pot world probably do ok and it has excellent fruit and productive. Good luck!

@@AvocadoTalk yeah I have a gem in ground and Gwen in a pot for my summer cados. For fall I have : lamb and reed , not sure which one I would want In ground and pot… since my back yard space is so limited

@@jlakindd all excellent varieties

How hot is it there. Maybe a bit more water and some shade cloth. When the trees get big they can tolerate much more than the younger ones.

For me I added more water and used micro spray to moisten a larger area. When it's hot I've added extra water for my trees. Good luck!

@@SpYucaipaSoCalit has been between 94-106 degrees. I will try a more deep water and get a shade cloth! Thanks so much😊

@@AvocadoTalkThanks!👍

I find that epicenter trees take a little more time but they typically do give, patience. Since they perked up, you should be good to go

@@AvocadoTalk I agree

Thanks Johnny!

Yes it was really just a weird year, I also had weeks where we had cool marine layer haze that didn't burn off till later. I was nice to be able to work in the back yard in the AM. There are a lot of variables but I really starting to think that rootstock has more of an effect on fruit set and holding characteristics that previously thought. Example, GEM from Brokaw which is younger and smaller has more fruit than my older GEM from the old La Verne. Just odd. Vista is such a cool area, I actually had a guy get a couple of avocados from me that lived in Vista.

I've looked into this in the past but never tried it. Have you tried it and have you seen a difference?

@@AvocadoTalk The cause of these drops is actually more than one. Competition between young fruit and vegetative growth, sensitivity to temperature extremes; and water deficit stress.I used silicon in avocado in a greenhouse environment and I found it very successful and the dropping was almost non-existent, despite the extremely hot and very variable air temperature and humidity of the greenhouse. Gibberellic acid, on the other hand, I used it in fruit dropping in cherries and it does such a good job that it is difficult when you try to tear the fruit stems with your hand.

The heat is coming. Stay hydrated!

Thanks!

Just a weird year so far. We are going to get a lot of heat, not sure if you guys are down south, stay hydrated!

Yeah definitely part of avocados... I expect some fruit drop but some of my trees dropped all of its fruit.

@@AvocadoTalk yes I understand now. My Pinkerton did that for a number of years and it was frustrating. My Bacon and hass were setting small amount but Pinkerton zero.

😮

It's a secret. 😂😂 I got a lot of fruit set on it right now too.

@@AvocadoTalk spill the beans bro, i aint a commercial grower. i just don't want my 70$ gem tree to die LOL my GEM vs the GEM she told you not to worry about 💀

All of the trees are 5 yrs to 1 yr, in ground a few were from 15 gallon most from sleeves and 5 gallon, except the little cado which is 20+ yrs in ground

Looks like you are going to still have an amazing amount of fruit. I find it interesting that the rootstock does have more of an effect than previously thought.

seedling rootstock is variable, zutano roots and gem seem to be a bad combination when the trees are young maybe it changes as it matures hold more fruit, though it seems the clonal rootstock with gem is awesome combination

From what I see it looks like I may have to sell or give some away, so I'm actually wanting the heavy fruit trees to thin out, im trying to underwater etc the ones I want holiday, gem, gwen, d gillogly im watering but not counting on it yet until I see

Other people are having the same experience this year, it's just weird. Looking at all my trees with fruit so far, it's not a bad year and the fruit set is decent and I can't get too greedy. Hang in there, you will get there. Thanks for watching!
