    Hello Tom: That was a really nice gesture from Paul to share with your viewers! He is a great guy for finding Tropical Fruit Farms in South Florida. The best part is @fruitfultrees "riding his coattail", I have found several Farms, mainly Mangoes, that my wife and children absolutely love. When I look at his videos showing how many Fruit Trees he has planted in his back yard, my heart yearns to be able to do the same, but sadly, space is severely limited, but still thankful for the ones I am able to grow! Keep sending us your Avocado Videos! Stay well!!!

    I have a massive avocado tree in my backyard. I notice that the fruit starts coming out around July and lasts until early October, what type of avocado may that be? I have two big problems. One is squirrels - How do you deal with that? They start eating off the tree from the top and it drives me nuts. Second problem, I cannot get the ones from the crown of the tree. What kind of machine should I be renting to get those off? Thank you for your video, it was super informational.

      Jorge, I'm going to make a video response to your question. But in summary, we shoot squirrels with a varmint gun..a 22 caliber pellet gun. As for how to get the fruit form the top of the tree, we use a telescoping pole with a picking basket on top. you can find them on amazon.
      As for the variety of your avocado I'd need to see a picture of it

      @@SleepyLizard Thanks Tom! Will get with you in May for the budwood.
      Not sure what kind of fruit we will be harvesting this year as most all of my blueberry & wild huckleberry bushes are in full bloom and some with baby berries already. Spring bulbs are blooming, fruit trees budding. Beats all I've ever seen.
      Had an early fall with very cool temps for our area in Sept. then went back to our normal temps of 80+. Then back to freezing. Been a roller coaster ride with the temps so the plants don't know whether to go to sleep (as they should be doing) or WAKE UP because of the spring temps. Now we are back in the deep freezer again so I'm sure I will lose most of my berries this year (temps in low 20's last weekend & coming again this weekend!!) Garlic & onions are a foot tall and should still be ASLEEP til springtime. May not see much of a harvest of those either...who knows. Beats all I've ever seen for CRAZY weather for the deep south!
      Otherwise, things are as good as can be expected, considering the circumstances we are all facing.
      Take care and I will be in touch late April/early May for the budwood. Miss your vid's so I'm glad I was able to catch this one today...GOT MY SLEEPY LIZARD FIX today!! LOL!!

Although if you watch all of his lectures there's a point where the Great American Chestnut (hundreds of feet tall and tens of feet wide) was said to be wiped out by a disease which i presume was used by an industry to continue greedy/wasteful habits(sounded similar to the corona viridia, that sect of viruses discovered and cataloged in 1960), otherwise I've completely agreed with just about everything he's said. If i can recommend another, Dan Kittredge's lectures explain how a each element in chemistry is a vibration in physics, thusly showing that antennae on bugs/pests could possibly be thwarted from picking up signals, among other "gems" such as the domino effect of nutrient uptake that a safe, bio-available, form of Boron has.

    Is there any avocados with an crisp texture? All that creaminess wigs me out.

      Donna, yes there are, well not "crisp" per say but firmer than the ones your typically find at the store. We have a variety called Simmonds for example that has very firm flesh.

      Monroe is my second favorite. Of course taste is subjective maybe he doesn’t care for the flavor

      @@SleepyLizard appreciate your replies! Personally avocados aren't a favorite fruit of mine, I prefer sweeter things like Mango/Guavas etc, but want to plant some avocados because their health benefits. The only avocado I've had that I found tasty was a small, almost dark-skinned fruit that had a nutty flavor (might have been a Hass or a Hass seedling). This was at an acquaintance's yard.

    I bought a 3 foot A hass avocado and wanted a B plant avocado and was watching you video what avocado varieties to plant in my yard so went to look for it and found a Choquette and sent you a text and you said it was a B tree .in you video you said choquette was an A plant so now im confused if i have two A trees .plz help

    • @SleepyLizard
      @SleepyLizard  5 місяців тому

      We had a miscommunication. You sent me a text with a picture of a Choquette and asked me "does this variety taste good" and I answered yes because Choquette tastes good. It is a type A variety. I think the confusion came in because earlier you had asked me to name some type B. anyhow I sent you a link to a site that lists avocados with their flowering type. Good luck on your search.
