Luv ya mate ! Gonna be honest, I'm jelly of how lush your Fruitopia is. Where I live is very dry with winter westerly winds and frequent frosts ... It's been a struggle starting from scratch, but Real Life Fruitopia and few select other channels really help with motivation to press on and forge a path to self sufficient growing. \ Thanks again for your updates, it's always a pleasure to watch.
If you're in a warmer climate without frequent frosts you may try putting in natural wind breaks such as sugar cane, bamboo or similar to protect young fruit trees. A few truck loads of heavy mulch to deal with the dry conditions and you'll be in your own Fruitopia.
Hi George, I love your stuff. I'm also doing battle with a few avo varieties... Perhaps you could consider applying sugar water or honey water on the wurtz flowers to test if it increases fruit productivity. It would be interesting to follow this on your show over the next months. Keep up the good work.!
G'day George! Interesting video. I was wondering if you ever considered getting bees? I know you have a sweet tooth and they'd be a pollinating booster.. I'm considering getting a "flow hive". Cheers
Thank you so much for the video. Is it possible that you can show us variety per video, taking us throughout the journey from the nursery to the now progress? Personally I am interested in seeing your journey with pinkerton 🙏🙏
This is a good video to show the real bloom overlap of avocado trees between A type and B type in the early Spring, thus showing B type Fuerte is blooming earlier than A type Pinkerton, Hass, Wurts and Reed. Therefore, it seems you could not expect a good harvest of fruit set for Fuerte this year because you did not have enough opening flowers from A type trees to do cross pollination for it, and so you may have to find another A type tree with flower opening as early as Fuerte does in early Spring to match it, otherwise you have to rely on their self-polination, do you agree with that?
You are correct from watching the video, however days later the Pinkerton began flowering and a week later the Wurtz did too. I'm hoping for a good fruit set on all trees minus the young Reed.
Hi George, lovely sight avocado in flower and the odd bee.. Any early clues if pollination has taken place? I see some flowers are bigger while closed. Is that an early sign?

The Wurtz sets hundreds of fruitlets each December, problem is almost all fall a week or two later.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Ah ha, I'm out of ideas then mate 😄
Amazing. Well done
Thanks a lot!
Wow too many flowes . Nameste from India.
OMG. Way too many flowers on that Avocado. Amazing to see.
I know!
спасибо за показ как цветет авокадо..
No shortage of bees around a fruiting paradise 😁
G'day George!

Seems to be more than enough existing bees Paul plus I avoid honey products.

You might enjoy a video playlist on every avocado. ua-cam.com/play/PLbV3ZL3CFqJ0M13bEsjyG9eci0WN9-1hP.html

First fruitlets show up in November and December on all my established varieties.
@@RealLifeFruitopia ok yes , have to be patient.
I’ve got grape sized mini avocados from a 12 yr old haas avocado tree and I would like to know more about how to keep most of it.
Sounds like a seedling tree, plant a grafted tree if you can.
Ever considered getting some bee hives?
There's already enough bees to pollinate hundreds more trees.
