Interesting video Greg. I really like my. GEM's, they are a great tree that produces well. I wish more growers would grow them.
Thanks, Greg. Loved this video. Very informative. 👍
❤❤❤awesome Thanks Greg❤❤
Loved this video, pretty informative. Thanks for sharing
Got some GEMs from Greg Alder just recently and they were awesome Avocados. Great taste, ripened well, larger than most Hass, and didn't turn black right away after cutting them, making them great for sandwiches and salads. I've been reading though that GEM doesn't do so well in the hot interior of Riverside, CA, so I might get a Gwen instead.

Hi Greg, from West Paso Robles Ca. Zone 8b. elevation 2000. I find Gem, Gwen, Carmen and Don Gillogly is precocious. Plus the trees it's holding more fruits than other varieties of avocados. I have 20+varieties of avocados planted without protection in the winter. Too early for me to say how Gem, Gwen, Carmen, Gillogly fruits will do in the winter of Paso Robles. This is the first year Gem, Gwen, Carmen, Gillogly is producing fruits. My other varieties is producing lots of fruits. But most of the fruit dropped. Except Bacon, Wurtz, Lamp. The rest of my other varieties still have few fruit left on the tree. I am hoping because my trees still young and in couple years my tree will able to hold more fruits ? Time will tell.
Plus all of my other varieties of avocados survive snow that lasted for three days Feb 25-2023.Did not even burn. I have photos & video to prove it. I have lots of other subtropical fruit trees on my property and nothing die or burn that year.
Hi @Betty599, was going through the comments and I'm amazed at your success in Paso Robles zone 8b. Is it possible for you to post any videos of your orchard? I'm more interested if the lay of the land helps with the cold/heat. How hot does it get by you. There isn't much info on growing avocadoes in Paso Robles, and I will greatly appreciate some more info. Is your avocado orchard on the valley flat or you are on the hillside? Which direction is downslope? Please post some videos/ photos. Anything will help to get more knowledge growing cados in vine country. Thanks on advance,

Bacon makes a good pollinator for GEM in Bakersfield 👍

You really can save the water in dusty dried California weather......just simple to do cow dung manure compost more & as much as you can.....more fruiting & more fun in California weather trust Myself......
My indoor avocado plant has leaves that are dry and curling up, it is from over watering?
Hi Greg, commercial grower have access to lots of info on fertilizing Avo that normal home growers does't have. The commercial grower up in Central Coast their mature Hass Avo. trees is producing 800+ fruits a tree just for your info. That is what one of the grower manager told me. When I have the time to tour his Avo farm that he manage I will know more, I will share info.
Hey Greg what happened to the video on the wild avocado/orange tree you posted about a month ago? If it’s on private property then I totally understand why you wouldn’t want to disclose where it’s at. My girlfriend and I just thought it was super interesting and we are both documenting/researching plants and wildlife in Southern California for a research project, we thought it would be cool to go see in person :)
