@@SVmathfarmer so far Stewart has been my favorite Mexican variety. It's been a struggle getting to this point, almost killed it. I fixed my watering problem and now it's good.

@@SVmathfarmer take the skunks to the jungle 😂😂

Brokaw is the best ❤❤❤

I'll add you to the list

@@PeterEntwistle don't give up, you can do it!

@@jorgebaez5974 I'm glad it helps...

@@sheens9193 seedling from Nabal just sounds like it will be great.

@@RichsMangoGarden hi rich, I love all your mangos, I'm slowly getting into them because my kids love them too. Thanks for watching!

@@Betty599 hi Betty, I love all your great trees. We will have to do a scion swap one day, you probably already have all the varieties I have, I'm at 41 different varieties of avocado. BTW, I am in Southern California, around orange county and the IE.

@@AvocadoTalk Yes! I agree. I will give you all of the name of varieties that I have. Plus the next time if you make an order to Brokaw Nursery let me know. Thanks.

@@dianeswartz884 I picked some Hass just to see, just tried Jan Boyce and it was already tasting better than my Mexicola Grande. Congrats on your fruit and thanks for watching!

@@growyourownavocados can't wait to taste these, this will be my first time.

I remember hearing people complain about the tree and as a result I didn't get one. Then years later I had some & realized that was a mistake. I have one now. Hopefully it does well for me. I was discussing with some people & it sounds like was released when the winters were horrible for a few years.@AvocadoTalk

@growyourownavocados the 2 complaints a trusted friend said was he didn't like the tree structure, a little floppy. Also it is an alternate bearer. We'll see if I get fruit next year.

@@sheens9193 congrats on your fruit, I don't have one but heard it's good. The database states Aug-Nov, but I don't know for sure. Keep me updated, I might have to get one too. Thanks for watching!

@@ralsvals 😂 unidentified furry objects

@@PeterEntwistle I can see this Stewart avocado doing ok where you are at. It is very cold hardy and has a good flavor too. Might be easier to get a scion and just graft it yourself.... Good luck!

@@Sam-mc2dk all good. It's good to have filler avocados when nothing else is available.

@@ocneal mine was 3/4 black on the tree and the stem was turning yellow. After trying this one, I'm going to pick more, they are ready as of my area. I think yours might be ready to at this point. Let me know how it turns out. Congrats!

@@AvocadoTalk Thanks. It's very small, maybe 4-5 ounces, but it is in a pot. I have a Mexicola around somewhere, but I don't think it has any avocados on it. Does the Stewart have an earlier harvest than the Stewart? I'm unfamiliar with both. I do not have a Mexicola Grande. What other avocados have harvest dates from Nov-Feb, besides Fuerte, Bacon, and now, Stewart ?

@@ocneal Ettinger about the same as Bacon. Jim Bacon too.

@@ricardomercado308 they cycle through varieties at the big box stores, I've seen them come in at different times of year. Try local nurseries too. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@@ChiledeGarcia starting to get chilly , we'll see how cold this winter gets but really not expecting to cold. thanks for watching

@@100lucch did one a while back but will definitely do another with Jim Bacon as a comparison. Thanks for watching!

Which HD is this? Been looking for one...

@ it was a while but at Lakewood HD. They don’t have them in stocks right now. But they only have Anaheim variety

@@KernHunewill yeah I have some on the tree with longer necks but it definitely is not as long as yours from the post I saw.

@@growyourownavocados I left half of it out to see if it oxidizes and nothing yet, not brown like others. It was rich and creamy. Yum.

@@Gardening4fun started to turn black on the tree starting from the top of the fruit. There was still a little green and after picking the whole thing turned black. It's possible you got a Mexicola. I've seen them labeled at the big box stores "Stewart Mexicola" which is confusing since they are 2 different varieties. Stewart is more pear shaped where as Mexicola is more round. Good luck!

@AvocadoTalk I have mexicola grande and it definitely a different tree. The Stewart I have had a loose seed, if I shock it sounded like a marble in there.

@@Gardening4fun my Mexicola Grande has a loose seed when I shake it. I do not have a Mexicola so can't tell you but I've seen pictures of Mexicola and they are smaller and more round. My Stewart has more of a neck.

My Stewart are green skin with long necks. I eat them with the skin on

Thanks for sharing your story and thoughts. I planted a small 5gal Stewart in healthy soil last fall and it has grown to 8ft tall in first year, so looking forward to fruit in next couple years for fall harvesting🤞

Thanks for watching!

Thanks AJ, good job on all your topworking you've done recently.

It is never ending

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 I've had a couple that were in decline but never tried the injection, since they were small it was easier to just replace them. Some say don't put a new tree in the same hole well I did and the new one is thriving. I think I got a bad or weak rootstock. Taking a special tree and grafting it on a healthy tree is another reason to top work and save your special variety. Thanks for watching!

@@christopheryates5953 my top tasting fruit is probably Jan Boyce, Kona and Hass are excellent also. What's your favorite? Thanks for watching!

@@growyourownavocados good things I got a back up on the Oaklando

@@growyourownavocados there are other reason too that others may choose, stay hydrated...

@@neurocognitive I might be doing some digging, I remember seeing videos on pest control but ignored them. If I only had my air rifle with me yesterday....

@@AvocadoTalk 😊

@@RareAvoTrees you got all the good ones. Duke 7 has grown really fast for me. Last time I checked they had Maluma but that was over a month ago.

@AvocadoTalk ya trying several to see which likes my soil the most and grows fastest I have no Duke 7 but would like to try some

@@MoAces I've just heard it from a couple of people who say that the leaves of Mexicola and they way they smell kinda like anise help repel mites. I didn't know if there is proof, probably not. If I only had my air rifle with me yesterday. Thanks for watching!

@@100lucch I've caught so many this year and they just keep on coming back, it's like a never ending battle. I know I can't eliminate them only slow them down. If I have a special fruit, I'll definitely try the bag... Thanks for watching!

@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard thanks for watching

Yeah, too early. I did a second video picking it later and really liked the Esther.

@@GrowsGoneWild I may have to cut off a piece and graft it on to sometime else. I do have a back up so we'll see. Thanks for watching and hope all your trees are doing good!

@ good to have backups! And thanks, trees are chillin now. Some more dieback but been eating a few Stewarts now.

@@PeterEntwistle I'm excited for the Oaklando... The leaves are a little yellow so I'm a little concerned but optimistic it will come through.

@@KernHunewill it was weak before the mounds but definitely doesn't help with one probably right under neath. I'm still working to catch this guy.

@@1970SBenny so the trick for me and catching squirrels using the trap you see in the video is walnuts and pecans. They can't resist and I've caught 2 in one day. I've tried peanuts, almonds, cashews but pecans are what's worked. I release possums too, they are actually beneficial but squirrels will take my entire tree down. Just one yesterday that was so fat...Good luck on your quest. You have a good amount of avocados going....

@@AvocadoTalk Thanks for the info. Will definitely try the pecans.

@1970SBenny I try to NOT talk too much about traps on my channel because people are sensitive.

I bought 2 Reeds from the HD and when I finally got fruit, it was very bumpy and small and did not have the Reed characteristics so I confirmed it was Hass. Most likely you have Hass with bumpy skin which in my opinion is not a bad thing.

@AvocadoTalk Thank you so much for your reply because l really wanted it to be a Hass 👍💕🤗

@@slugbyte you are lucky, it seems like I have an endless supply of squirrels here... Thanks for watching!

@AvocadoTalk we do have rats that climb the coconut trees and eat the coconuts, we have to place a band of sheet metal around the tree trunk so they can't climb up, wondering if that might help you?

I've seen people try that but because avocados have a lot of hanging branches, rats find a way up still. I have rats/mice, possums, skunks, raccoons, and so on too

@@AvocadoTalk I guess a fence with electric wire or something, sounds like a continuous battle

@@frankyancy1347 that's another amazing reason, there are so many other reasons to do it but at the end of the day it's all about not being afraid to try it. Good we are getting the word out. Thanks for watching as always!

Thank you for watching!

@@omegaxshark21 my Nabal from Brokaw is doing great, it had a light flower this last spring and I saw some BBS but it didn't hold. I'm optimistic for this next year. My other I had to pull out the rootstock was terrible and it just didn't do anything. Nabal do well in Southern California

@@AvocadoTalk what's youre favorite tasting large avocado variety. Looking for a novelty one to add to the collection lol.

@@omegaxshark21 that's like asking who is your favorite child, also taste is subjective. Nabal is up there, Daily 11 / Queen/ Anaheim is huge. If you are limited on space, get a tee and graft multiple varieties on it. It would be fun to do an all giant multigrafted avocado tree. 🤔 Maybe my next project.

@@AvocadoTalk I love that idea, giant avocado graft haha, is there a most vigorous rootstock I should graft onto? Thanks for the idea and suggestions, I gotta go to some farmers markets and try and find some to taste lol. Any recommendations on where to get grafts? I'm in San Diego and I have a solid 10x10 spot left for one more avocado lol

@@omegaxshark21 Epicenter sells scions. Ask around, people are typically willing to swap. I can ship

@@elcosalteco69 yeah they are but unfortunately it's difficult for backyard growers to get it. I've never tried the fruit but heard it's good, I know a guy who has some fruit so I just need to get my hands on the fruit and try it out. Hopefully it's not just hype.

Nice, good job 👍
