I dont pinch off , Gem to me wants to flower too young, i would rather the tree get some size first, i,ll be watching Maluma over the next few years if it does well i will stop planting any more gems and focus on more Maluma as long as it takes cold well enough.

@@126AP Good deal mounds go a long way, avo can handle a little clay I find but not a high percent, I import better soil to place on top of my native clay.

@@126APcoarse sand is good also DG mixed in or even small pea gravel mixed with silt.idealy my mounds should be flatter wider up top to support mulch or compost better.

@@frankyancy1347 yes great tree and fruit if I can keep warm enough in my area till at least they are a few years old

@@omegaxshark21 I'm rarely down there , Scions are 70 each that includes shipping.

When vid taken it was in ground 2.5 years but it was older counting time in pot

@@josehernandez9486 thanks, would love to hear about what trees are fruiting well for you and what rare avo types you have going on

@@AvocadoTalk ya soonest could pick fruit is fall 2026 , crossing fingers

@@AlexSaldana-lb5me Brokaw mostly known for a wholesale commercial nursery but they will sell with a 20 tree minium and trees have to have a deposit placed in advance

Brokaw trees normally placed a few years in advance

@@RareAvoTrees oh ok, thanks for the info I live in the central valley I was able to get in the Long Beach area but it seems like it went into shock.

@@AlexSaldana-lb5me if planted in winter it might be ok when spring hits , growth slows way down in winter protect gems anything under 32 till a few years old

@@RareAvoTrees It went into shock after up potting it i also up potted ah Fuerte that also went it shock but looking a little better. Oh my Gem also on Zutano rootstock

@@ocneal From northern Cal , and yes scions are 70 ea

Parentage unknown , seedling tree from a planted seed my guess from a nimlioh, Nabal, Reed seed or something like thoughs .

Looking good! I agree with you climate growing conditions observations

​@@TropicalGardenGuyYour fruit still getting big? My tree getting to big to cover easy for cold , I think I will do Christmas lights on it for protection.

@@nicolassaarni88 yes at least one each , I'm selling scions now for 60 ea, or 2 for 100,not looking to trade scions at the moment maybe down the road.

Ya I'm hoping it keeps growing fast and healthy, I have no clue if it might flower this coming spring.Its never flowered yet.

@@RareAvoTreesif healthy in spring , i bet it will set fruit

@@TropicalGardenGuy I hope so ,I got 3 grafts on established trees ,grafts only a year old ,,very small those are prob 2 more years out.

@@EffectivImmediately most are approx 9 to ten feet apart some are 5 feet but will be crowded down the road I wouldn't rec planting that close even for gem

Video is Gem Avocado tree

@@moj8945 nice how old is your tree and what county ?

@ I’m in LA and it’s a 2 yr old tree in the ground.

@@moj8945 That's awesome it sounds like it's growing very fast and producing very well at a early age.

@@RareAvoTrees indeed now I’m trying to keep the squirrels away.

@@moj8945Havahart traps work well for squerils models that open from both ends

@@ltclaw392 Brokaw sells them sometime they are sold out for a few years if you want trees place a order and get the deposit in, they might be the only ones licenced to sell Maluma in Cal , but not real sure.

Terrific, thank you for the lead. Would definitely take you up on that offer once it's back in stock.

@@TropicalGardenGuy I will do future vids like that, thanks

@@RareAvoTreeswelcome, BTW,, my Gigante fruit is now the largest on my tree, already about 1 lb and 8 months till ripe

@@TropicalGardenGuy That's soo cool , sounds like a great chance of going full term, it gives me hope for my own tree to hold fruit one day. You could make a video on that fruit alone.

@@dragonxedits5758 East Fresno county ,north of minkler 5 miles

@@RareAvoTrees thanks man

Will you be mulching that whole area there? Looks like ac lot of time planning, but it’ll pay off. Love the mounds!

@@ocneal mulching will slid off the steep mounds but will try latter as trees age some and roots hit the flat native soil.

@@ocneal yes mounds are a must in my native clay, better than digging holes in clay and then improving soil in the hole sometimes that can cause a hidden underground pool of water a deathtrap.

@@TropicalGardenGuy ya I'm excited to see if my imported top soil does a lot better than native soil, plus if clonal root stock grows any faster than seed rootstock

@@SVmathfarmer it's a fairly recent type, it's now been propagated aprrox 4 years by a few diff propagators and it's already known by several names.Even a few early names have mostly dropped by the wayside.I feel Cannonball suits it best, it's much larger than a Reed or Nabal,no one seems to know what the original seed planted was but a I suspect sometime like a Nimlioh though Cannonball never turns black when mature.

@@RareAvoTrees thanks for update. I was thinking Nimlioh which I grow along with Nabal and Reed but Nimlioh does not stay green as you know

@@SVmathfarmer yes I know, cannonball stays green and skin on cannon very hard and thick, shape is very round but slight hint of ridging on outside

That tree I grafted myself I sell scions but they are pricy since it's still very rare. Potted trees can be made up with a deposit.

I bought directly from Brokaw yes you are correct they like a min order of 20 and trees heading north over the grapevine need a 100 dollar fee bug treatment and ag inspection, I've heard of groups of buyers pick in together to hit the 20 tree mark but must buy under only 1 person's name.

Sept is better to plant than July but March is best to plant

@@AvocadoTalk yes I will film in a year to show how fast or slow they grow but with new soil they should like it unless my mulch is too thin.

@@RareAvoTrees with the horse manure that you are using as mulch they should grow super fast. Is the cannon ball avocado something new or the bay giant?

Ok don't currently have complete trees but you can place a 80 dollar deposit and I can make one up, you can pay balance when tree is picked up

@@frankyancy1347 I will likely not have enough for a packing house to bother with but they will still be sold at farmers markets fruit stands and on internet,and true my weather is not ideal but my water is near free and little to no salt in it,my biggest expense has been bringing in sweet top soil and sand gravel but at least that expense is a one time deal.

@@frankyancy1347 I would add cannonball to your collection if you like a big round fruit.Mature time is very long but fruit runs 2 to 3 pounds each.

​I've 4 Reeds! A Holiday, and a young Esther and Anaheim all with big fruits, but thx for the recommendation.

@@frankyancy1347 it sounds like you have a awesome collection of diff types,the more kinds the better to pick fruit ever day of the year

@@barbiefields6431 that tree roughly 2 years in ground but was grafted in a pot for another year or so, it's growing fairly fast but a month long stretch of heat over 105 did slow growth down it's just starting to pick up again for fall growth.

@@RareAvoTrees still did good! Leaves didn’t dry up to a crisp. My hass was in a pot and west part became crispy

@@barbiefields6431 ,, True leaves could have done worse with long stretch of heat wave, but they did grow smaller and slower , leaves are just now starting to recover and grow nice.

@@TropicalGardenGuy yes even worse for me is cold than the heat your tree will be a good test if fruit can mature proper or not in heat

@@AlexSaldana-lb5me Brokaw in ventura

@@davdua1991 oh it drys out very fast with day time temps over 100 and the hot wind but yes got to watch for over water.

Yes not normal for Fresno county a day or few for 105 or higher the trees can handle it ,but a long stretch 105 to 109 I can tell does stress avocado trees, this heat wave lasting 3 to 4 weeks finally getting a break on July 27th.

@@jerezmani2924 do you need shipped or picking up in person ?

@@RareAvoTrees yes shipment

@@RareAvoTrees 6 3 1 8 7 7 5 4 12 for d e tails

@@jerezmani2924 ok shipping 4 scions would be 8O for 4 sticks.

80 is to the lower 48 states

@@TropicalGardenGuy yes 112 today maybe 113 sunday

@@TropicalGardenGuy That's good ,yours have dealt with cold better , the one in video gets a propane heater on it 30 degrees or lower.

@@TropicalGardenGuy I've never saw a rattlesnake in the cave but 80 feet away seen one.

This cave was made by stream flowing under super large granite boulders.

Most my gems are bought from Brokaw nursery, but I also graft my own gems put mostly on bacon seed rootstock
