I completely agree on if you have a tree with lots of fruit then congratulations. The more varieties I try, eat and experiment with the more I realize that flavor is just one aspect.
I'm looking forward to so many different one in the future, hopefully they provide fruit so I can really compare. Thanks for watching and keep your videos coming!
Excellent to showcase these rarities!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It is kinda like a video diary, plus it is fun.
Wow you have a lot of avocados on your trees,
Thanks! More trees are producing this year but a lot of my trees that were very productive last year is not so this year. hang in there....stay hydrated!
May I ask what fertilizer/nutrients /supplements you used This spring 2023 to get so much fruit set?
I have a Daily 11 in the ground. I bought it from epicenter avocado. Can't wait to taste me some!
I should have kept my order with epicenter. Congrats to yours...
Great video REM, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Johnny!
Your avo trees are looking good and very productive! I don’t irrigate my trees because I have the opposite problem of you: I’m trying to keep my trees as dry as possible. I have two areas that don’t drain well and I have planted plants that suck up a lot of water in those areas. Mainly, taro and bananas…
Bananas sounds like fun to grow. Can't wait to check out Maui soon, hopefully find some different avocados we don't have here in California to try. Thanks for watching!
Congrats 🤞🥑 I'm getting some Don Gillogly next week. Show us your Greengold.
Let me know what you think of the Don G. I have one in a pot still and need to plant it, if it is really good, I'll make it a priority.
The Green gold is doing good, next video. Thanks for watching!
Hey REM - Lots of little avocados on your trees. You're going to have to open up a fruit stand one of these days! I liked to quarter technique for scale. Thanks for the taste test on the Daily 11. I found this small post about it. DAILY 11 - Perhaps the largest avocado grown in CA. At South Coast Research Station, Irvine, CA, Fruit is pear to odd baggy shape, green & of fair to good quality flavor. (J.R.Frink 1998) "Daily 11, a seedling of Queen, had been developed in Ventura County & had fruit larger than three pounds. It combined this size with a small seed & good flavor. Dr. Bergh's assistant later told me he had seen Dailys weighing five pounds." (Giant Avo. article,p.59,1980 Avo Grower).
Thanks for sharing! Fruit wise, it is good. Not sure how the tree grows or handles the heat. Thanks for watching, it starting to get hot so make sure you and your trees are hydrated!
@@AvocadoTalk So far all is doing well. It's heating up, but we still have a long way to go til the end of September. The trees and I will definitely stay hydrated. Stay cool
Re, seedling vs grafted. Grafts get you what you want in a shorter time than seedlings. However seedling have their own advantages as well. I feel that planting a seedling where you want the tree to grow is a strong advantage. The tap root, basically non-existent in pot grown plants anchors the plant deeply. Often where consistent soil moisture is to keep the plant healthy in the dry season. I feel that seedling are more resilient than pot grown and grafted. I live quite close to Escondido, Escondido used to be an avocado growing area. They cut the water off in many of the areas, and what usually happens is almost all the trees die. However, seedling trees grow and thrive with little to no care in many places that rain nore than here (think 8-10” of rainfall/year on average). Seedlings are also vigorous. Sometimes grafted plants are just not vigorous enough. Just about every home avocado grower has learned the hard way that avos need lots of water often. If that water is not supplied often, your avo tree will be damaged for the season and could die. The downside is usually inferior fruit, that said. Every variety we have was a seedling. If you really like the daily 11 for flavor and size, seeing what its seedling can do is right on. Who knows, you might get a Reed tasting fruit that looks like a Daily 11 and ripens Sept thru December.
I've noticed exactly what you are saying with some of my seedlings also. I was thinking of doing it just for fun but water is expensive so not really sure if I want to continue to water a tree for 10 years until I get some fruit with the chance of having a crappy flavored avocado. Thanks for your feedback. Escondido is a beautiful place to grow avocados for sure.
Thanks for great video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the content 🙏
Thanks for watching, it's going to be hot, start hydrated.
@AvocadoTalk misters and modelos I think I got it covered
Hey, REM grow it out. If it ends up being a winner, we will name it the REM. I was just up at Epicenter last week checking out some of the overflow that wasn’t sold this season and picked up a queen and a Hellen. My queen that I had previously died so I need to try again. Last year they gave me a Daily 11 fruit to try and it was quite good. Apparently according to Frink there is a Daily 16 that is even better and bigger than the 11 but I have no idea where to get it.
Nice to see all the fruit set. Good idea you will be painting. I was just thinking you should do it when watching the video before you said it. I’ve been on a fairly large culling spree. Unless a tree is at least 3 years old I pretty much remove all fruit. It’s probably overkill but in fixated on letting the plants optimize their energy for growth in the early years.
Hi Pat, I can see myself replacing one of my trees with a Hellen. Something to look forward to I guess. I have a queen but it's small so it wont be doing much anytime soon.
@@AvocadoTalk who is selling daily 11? I only know of 1 guy in Fallbrook who does. It’s quite rare.
@@SVmathfarmer tree wise I haven't seen and don't know. I initially ordered one from epicenter but backed out.
Fruit wise, the owner of Parkview nursery. I've heard he has a lot of different avocado trees. Anaheim avocados will be brought out soon from what I've heard.
Can not go wrong with a Hass.
Agreed!
Grow it out. The do some grafts on to it. Cheers🍻
How long and how often do you water your trees on your drip system? You trees grow pretty fast
Right now with the heat, everyday. I run it for 12 minutes 3 times a day, spread out. I just watch the leaves and if they start to get droopy, I add another water secession. It really isn't that much water, each tress has a micro spray so it isn't a lot of water being applied. Good luck and stay hydrated!
@@AvocadoTalk I run the drip system for an hour and dig into the ground and only like the top two inches are wet. something is not right. Water is expensive in CA!
@@MrSunergy water for sure is expensive. Are you using drip? Or Micro Spray. I used to use drip and it was not effective for me. Micro spray covers more area and keeps all of the surface roots hydrated thus keeping the trees happier. What I've learned is to just watch temperatures and water based on temps, water. For me it does not matter what time of year, it could be winter but if it is really hot, I'll set the water on. I highly recommend getting a wifi timer, if you already have one then great. Keep cool, it is going to get hotter.
@@AvocadoTalk thanks! Will keep monitoring. Have a “hydrated” 4th of july! Happy growing!!!
@@MrSunergy I've heard some folk running drip, will run it for 8+ hours...emitters have different flow rates and some are GPH vs GPM, for food for thought. good luck and I plan to be nicely hydrated and overserved!
Was just at Laguna Hills Nursery and bought a Carmen Hass he's starting to bring in a good variety 5 gal plus I saw a lot of Reed avocado plants on Duke 7
Nice! The journey is accelerating. The Reeds must be from Brokaw. That would be a good one if you got the room.
Yes they were from Brokaw it was really tempting but I only have room for one more tree I think I'm going to get another Carmen Hass for now just because of the multiple chances of harvesting fruit in the offseasons. But Reed is definitely on the list
I was at Laguna Hills Nursery again today Gary had 2 GEM avocado trees pulled aside for his own house and luckily he offered to sell me one so now I have a GEM a Don Gillogly and Sharwil. Looking to Add Carmen for sure and maybe Gwen, Reed or Stewart. Gwen is heavy producing but seems to lack flavor. I don't know so many hard choices. I might just get 2 Carmen's good flavors and multiple blooms
Fwi Gary's starting to bring in his 5 gal trees by the end of this week
Get a Reed or Gwen over the Stewart IMO...I like the flavor of Gwen and so does many other people, very productive. Thanks for letting me know. If I'm in the area, will definitely check LHN out.
Nice, plant the seed out. I got a reed seedling going in a 1gal
Starting to grow it out now, we'll see how it goes... Is getting hotter, stay hydrated.
@@AvocadoTalk yeah, looks like summer is finally here. I just threw up shade cloth over my little avocados.
Not sure its a daily 11, its very small for one.
Are you sure its a Mexicola? Mine have round fruits more plum shaped, not that it matters since you are taking it out.
Not 100%, I suspect it's a mexicola grande. Either way it hasn't been productive. It looks promising at the beginning of the year and builds confidence then rips your heart out by the end.
@@AvocadoTalkYup, our young Mexicola Grande was loaded with blossoms and then BBs, and has dropped em all, so I've got it 50% grafted to Lamb...Thx for all the great videos
I have heard the Daily 11 seed is good for grafting. Repels diseases and salt water. Read i5 somewhere.
I got the Daily 11 seed to germinate and I actually labeled it. Now time to graft something... We'll see
@@AvocadoTalk 👍
Ya grow your seed out but it not likey a daily 11 and don't keep more than 2 branches of rootstock graft the other branches
Growing okay so far.
Bought my first two avocado plants yesterday at Laguna Hills Nursery got a Kona sharwell which I'm very happy about but they only had one other type there for sale that I've never heard of called Don Gillogly it was kind of an Impulse buy but anybody know anything about this type of avocado
Nice! Impulse buys are the best buys. I have a Don Gillogly too, impulse buy also. The Don is supposed to be very good tasting but does have an odd shape, very long neck. Good luck, let's see how they both do for us.
If you could only have 4 or 5 Avocado plants what would you get that will give you closest to having fruit year round. I've heard Lamb Hass and Pinkerton can hang on tree a very long time. 🤷♂️
Down the Avocado rabbit hole I go. Lol I'm very excited to start this new adventure. Thx to all the great info here on UA-cam
@@tommyzee526 🎉🥑. Just the Kona and Don Gillogly?
@@tommyzee526 this is a tough one but I would probably do Fuerte, Gem or Hass or Carmen, Reed, Lamb. I like Pinkerton too, maybe instead of Fuerte. Another option is Gwen which is a really great option, hard to find though.
😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Thanks again for watching!
U leave the fruit on the small tree's???
I was supposed to not let the fruit set on my small trees but I did. I did end up getting the Reeds to the point where it actually tasted good. Trees are still ok so it wasn't that bad.
Just wondering my Reed tried to give me one last year but I removed it cause I kept reading to do so ? It was hard to do but this year I'm going to let them fruit my tree is in full bloom right now . I have 3 different types Pinkerton Nobel and a reed ? They are around 4years old.love watching them grow
Don't let your tiny trees produce more than 1 fruit each your sacrifice future production.
