Hi Sam: Thank you for your comment, I think I had my finger on the microphone for parts of this video and I know the audio was not very good. I will definitely try to improve my audio going forward. I definitely appreciate the feedback and thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Hello from Central Florida! I'm trying to grow all those California Avocados down here as an experiment. I've been told they hated South Florida, but, who knows.
I definitely agree with you that people should just do it and plant an avocado tree regardless of the size of their backyard! Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Everything is looking great as usual. I feel like I'm in Olive Garden 🫒 with your smooth background music. You do a great job with your container cados 👍
That's a good question. I don't know what the price is now, but they were much cheaper in the past. The 24" was like $40 or $50 but after covid it got much more pricier. The 30" was like $80 when I bought it but I am sure it is much more expensive now. Thank you for watching!
Please tell me what you use for soil for your avocado transplanted trees. I have a Persea Americana with a 3 inch trunk. I have had it for a year and I'm afraid to repot it. It has not fruited yet. I need instruction on soil, size of planter and when to repot it. Thanks. Kathy
Hi Kathy: to keep it simple, I just buy soil for cactus, palm and citrus. You can find them at any big box stores like Home Depot. I like repotting them in 15 galons until it is time to plant in the ground or in a 24" box. Good luck repotting and thank you for watching!
You lucky bum . So many Beautiful avocato Trees!. To me the most aesthetically pleasing are Bacon, Reed and Jim. So pleasing to our eyes, like a Beatiful Woman. So nice to just LOOK at, even if not ours! And some have wonderful fruit too! Thanks for sharing. Every day I wander out and look at mine.⁸
Hi Frank, I think the Reed and Bacon are beautiful, very pleasing to the eyes and bring me a lot of serenity too! I definitely relate with you about going out and admiring these wonderful avocado trees. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Hi Alicia: I use fast draining soil like soil for cactus, citrus and palm. My avocado trees do well in that soil and you can buy it in the big box stores. Thank you for watching!
Hi Daniel: Soil that is well draining like soil for catcus, citrus and palms works well. You can buy those soils at any big box stores. Thank you for your question!
Awesome garden/orchard 🤙 Have you built your own 24”? They aren’t available here and…. What’s your fertilizer schedule and what kind? My container trees are growing slow compared to most.
Hello, thank you for your questions. I did not build my 24" box but bought them at a local nursery. I fertilize 3 time are year, once during early spring, summer and fall. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Hi Daniel: In the summer time I water my trees about 3 or 4 times a week, during the winter about 1 time and during the spring about 2 to 3 times. The avocado trees tend to try up a bit faster in containers versus the ground. I use well draining soil so it is really hard to kill my avo trees even if I over water them. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
It's such a satisfying experience even just looking at the trees. My frafted Pinkerton which flowered last year and was put into the ground in March this year is doing pretty well with lots of new growth
Hi Basil, definitely agree with you there. It really brings me a lot of joy and peace looking at my avocado trees. Happy to hear about your Pinkerton, wishing you a lot of great Pinkerton avocados, one of my favorite varieties. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!
Thanks for the excellent video. There are so many videos in UA-cam on this topic but unlike yours, no one has actually done it . Mostly theoretical commentary. You have actually fruited Avocados in pots. How many gallons are those 24 inch boxes? I have purchased a dwarf lamb bass and bacon and intend to plant in 50 gallon plastic pots . I’m trying to assess if 50 gallons will be enough or not.
Hi Sidd: thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching! Yes, they are 24" boxes, but I should have planted them in something like 50 gallon pots. The bacon gets to be mid-size but the lamb hass tends to be smaller and I think you can get away planting the lamb hass in the 50 gallon but I would recommend maybe a bigger size or the ground for the bacon. My bacon is getting too big for my 24" box. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Thanks. Approximately how many’ gallons of potting mix did your pour into those 24 inch box? Looks like you have put those on the ground. Do you think the roots will eventually penetrate the ground?
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard sounds good! i am new to gardening and im trying to grow avocados in containers. im really inspiired by your stuff! simply amazing!
Hi Pat: I bought mine at Garden View Nursery in Irwindale, CA. They have bigger boxes as well. I recently bought a 36" box there too. Thank you for watching!
Hi Sheen, I have a Nabal and Bacon in the 24" boxes. I kind of regret that now. I should have either planted them in the ground or in 48" boxes which I just bought one not too long ago. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard hey jany haw ya daing? i gat some tropical avacados (Catalina) which is an Antillean race avacado... im down here in panama, central merica. I was wondering how would they fare in a meter high, meter wide box... i got others on the ground.. but i'm quite curious to put one in a box... what ya thing?
@@JuanMiro507 That is a good question. I'm not sure, I'm not that familiar with the variety but my avocado trees seem to do well in 24" boxes. Thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard interesting... 24" is just 60cm.. that's quite small... so definetely i would think 1 meter high, meter wide would work well... Catalinas are a huge variety.. all tropical varieties grown in our lowlands normally are big... (heat & high humidity will make them grow)
Johnny thanks for sharing. I am at that point where I’m mostly out of room for in ground avocado trees so I am looking at doing what you have done and grow some in large tree boxes. I heard Ken Love mention in one of his videos about a 65 gallon sharwil. It got me thinking lol
Hi William, thank you for your comment, 65 gallon sounds great for an avocado tree, I've been thinking about increasing the size of my containers. I have never watched any videos from Ken Love, I will try to check out his video on his 65 gallon sharwil. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Really nice looking trees! The audio dropped off which is too bad I really like your commentary. Looking forward to the next video
Hi Sam: Thank you for your comment, I think I had my finger on the microphone for parts of this video and I know the audio was not very good. I will definitely try to improve my audio going forward. I definitely appreciate the feedback and thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard Your container trees look really healthy. I really like Reed, Nabal, and Pinkerton avocado trees.
@@Sam-mc2dk Thank you Sam, I really like the Reed, Nabal and Pinkerton too.

Good luck my friend, wishing you much success! Thank you for watching!
It will be nice if you reduce the music sound
Thank you for your feedback on the music level and thank you for watching!
How Dee the boxws are
The boxes are 24". Thank you for watching!
It is cool to know that if you have a small back yard, try the 24" container like what you have and can get fruit. People just do it!
I definitely agree with you that people should just do it and plant an avocado tree regardless of the size of their backyard! Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

Thank you my friend, I like the Olive Garden vibe, gets be hungry and relaxed at the same time:) Thank you for kind words and thank you for watching!
Would you mind sharing with us, the cost of your different size boxes?
That's a good question. I don't know what the price is now, but they were much cheaper in the past. The 24" was like $40 or $50 but after covid it got much more pricier. The 30" was like $80 when I bought it but I am sure it is much more expensive now. Thank you for watching!

Hi Johnny where did you buy your reed?
Hi, I bought a 15 gal at Garden View Nursery in Irwindale, CA. They usually have great selection of 15 gal. Thank you for watching!
The amount of time I have spent looking for videos showing avos fruiting in pots!! Thank you for showing is possible!

Do you fertilize your avocado trees? Great avocado collection
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I do fertilize about 3 times a year. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Looks great! What soil are you using and how are you watering? I'm having trouble with soil and watering. I've killed 4 trees 😒
Hi Alicia: I use fast draining soil like soil for cactus, citrus and palm. My avocado trees do well in that soil and you can buy it in the big box stores. Thank you for watching!
What kind of soil do you grow them in?
Hi Daniel: Soil that is well draining like soil for catcus, citrus and palms works well. You can buy those soils at any big box stores. Thank you for your question!
Thank you for sharing. What's the NPK fertilizer that you give them in container?
I like using the Espoma Citrus-tone Fertilizer and it's organic too. Thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard Thank you for the info.

You have a b3autiful pi3ce of property and potted avo tree's in your courtyard compliment your your hillside Grove. How lucky you are.👍😊
Thank you Kim for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Nice video. Do you wait for the top couple inches of soil to dry out first or do you keep it consistently moist?
Hi Daniel: In the summer time I water my trees about 3 or 4 times a week, during the winter about 1 time and during the spring about 2 to 3 times. The avocado trees tend to try up a bit faster in containers versus the ground. I use well draining soil so it is really hard to kill my avo trees even if I over water them.

I’d be curious to see how the larger varieties would do in a 36” or 48” container, e.g. Nabal, Bacon, etc.
