I grew up in Southern California my Grandfather bought his home in 1940 where he planted a avocado tree in the backyard. My mother has pictures of her standing next to the tree in 1950 I was born in 1969 though the years we took pictures the tree grew really large. We always took pictures standing next to it really cool to watch my Mom who was born in 1937 grow up standing in front of that tree then me as a kid as we both aged the tree looked the same. The last time I saw it was in 2005 when my grandfather died they sold the house the new owners cut it down the following year :( That tree produced wheel barrow full of Avocado's
Great video, thanks for sharing. I love that you planted the trees when your daughter was born. It’ll make wonderful conversations with your daughter as she grows up and hopefully get into gardening too. Regarding your trees, looks like they did really well without needing sunscreen. I have planted two seedlings and just painted their trunks which in hindsight seems unnecessary.
mike truong, Thank you for watching and for your nice comments! It is useful to whitewash avocado tree branches which have full sun exposure, especially if temperature can get over 90F. Green bark on young branches is very tender and can sunburn easily. Good luck with your avocado seedlings!
Oh what a climate you have there.. 🌞😍 I have two plants grown from seed (inside the house) and I hope they will survive the winter. Hello from Northern Europe.
@@johnjonahjamesonjr.2231 Finland yes, and the plants were fine (but small) until I forgot to water them.. Maybe with a certain lamp and a more careful caretaker they would still be alive. 😁
I followed the same paper you did and planted two trees on a mound 8 years ago. I created the mound out of decomposed granite (DG) which avocado trees love. The trees (Lamb Hass and Sir Prize) are about 15 ft tall now and are starting to grow very large. One tree is an A pollinator and the other is a B and initially the trees produced so much fruit that the trees couldn't hold on to them and dropped a lot of them. Then the next year they would not produce any fruit because I believe they got stressed from producing too much the year before. Now they are in this alternate bearing mode where one produces one year and the other produces next year. If I had to do it over again I think I would have planted two A trees or two B trees but not one of each.
MrEdwinHardesty, Thank you for watching! I am glad your trees are growing well! Avocado trees of most varieties have a tendency to adopt an alternate bearing cycle. Pre-bloom pruning of trees that are expected to set a heavy crop could reduce the number of fruits that set and break the alternate bearing cycle.
Iwan Huda, Thank you for watching! Mexican and Guatemalan avocado varieties (like Hass) have medium size fruit with high oil content. West Indian avocado varieties have large size fruit and high water content.
sansan Putra, Thank you for watching and for your comments! It takes about 16 - 18 months for Reed avocado to develop on the tree. In general, Mexican avocado types (like Mexicola) ripen in 6 - 8 months from bloom while Guatemalan avocado types usually take 12 - 18 months.
Earthprotected, Thank you for watching! Yes, avocado flowers require a lot of resources. It should be beneficial for a very young tree to remove some flowers. You can also prune branches which are starting to flower. The tree will grow more vigorously after pruning.
Is that avocado free from seeds because I have 2 yrs ols avocado tree from seed its about 4 feet tall now no fruit yet, any response from you will be appreciated thank you!
Evelyn Garcia-Martinez, Thank you for watching! I am in Zone 10a with minimum winter temperature of -1C. Most avocado varieties should be able to handle -1C without any protection.
I had the same 15 and 5 gallon situation as you. I had different results with the same A and B type as you. My 15 gallon has continued to grow vigorously, same with my 5 gallon A type. I have them planted 9 feet away from each other with a similar clay soil setup as yours. Maybe the roots on your Lamb are more dominant and constrict your reed’s root growth. I’m not an expert this is just my theory, have a great day and thank you for posting this awesome video!
Luna Rekko, Thank you for watching! Avocado trees don't need a lot of fertilizer. I occasionally fertilize them with organic fertilizer or with compost.
James T Nguyen, Thank you for watching! Yes, a little more water is needed with comfrey near avocado trees. Comfrey's growth is limited during the year, and it grows to the same size every year. If you chop comfrey's leaves from time to time, it should reduce water loss through evaporation.
Hi I would want to know if my avocado seed will grow and survive in a Mediterranean climate? Winter here could get to 0c will they survive the winter? When is the best time to replant the seed into a soil?
Kyutto Gatto, Thank you for watching! Avocado trees like Mediterranean climate. If the temperature in winter doesn't drop below freezing, your avocado tree will survive. Once established, avocado trees can tolerate temperatures down to -2C. You can plant your seedling when it is 1 to 2 feet tall. You can plant it any time of the year. Keep it well watered if planting in summer. Keep in mind that avocado tree grown from seed will start producing fruit after about 10 year. Also the fruit will not taste the same as the avocado you ate. You can always graft one or more known avocado varieties on you seedling tree. After grafting, the tree will start producing fruit in about 2 years.
Brad Jenkins, Thank you for watching! Yes, we ate over a dozen of Reed avocados and a couple of Lamb Haas avocados in the fall. It takes about 18 months for them to ripen after flowering.
I use 1/3 raw honey and 2/3 water and spray the flowers every morning before they open and you will have hundred bees on the tree and it will train them to keep coming back. I have 3 super hass and one Monroe, that's Three A and one B and I still use honey. Try it you'll be very surprised how many bees come in about 30 minutes and stay till dark. More and more come every day. Plus your feeding the bees.
@@dezlyn3075, Thank you for watching! Yes, I will prune the trees to keep them under 10 ft tall. You don't have to have 2 trees. One tree will produce fruit. With 2 avocado trees (type A and type B) you will get 15% more fruit due to better pollination.
Keep the videos coming brotha! I’m learning a lot from your videos! I’m about to plant my mexicola tree in the ground after winter in early March. How should I plant it and with lots of gypsum right?
PrimoNF, Thank you for your nice comments! Good plan to plant your avocado tree in early March. Gypsum works well to soften the soil. If your soil is clay, plant a little above ground level and mix the native soil with coarse sand and coir. Don't forget a thick layer of mulch around the tree.
@@SubtropicalFruitGarden okay thanks, I’ll take a lot of tips from your video to help me out. I’ll also throw in azomite and worm castings. Should I throw in perlite for extra drainage in the soil?
Thank you! If winter temperatures don't get below freezing, you can grow any avocado variety. Some avocado varieties can withstand temperatures down to -3 C.
BallisticKnifes, Thank you for watching! For most avocado varieties, it is enough to have one tree to produce avocado. However, having both type A and type B avocado varieties nearby will increase your production by about 15%.
Where is the best site to order a well grown hass avacado tree? I am not picky tho...any recommendations? But I am looking for a tall 6 ft matured tree,so I don't have to wait over 2 years. Thanks
Ratu Arfitra, Thank you for watching! Are you asking about keeping your avocado tree vertical? You can use a sturdy wooden or metal stake. You can tie the branches you want to support to the stake using non-adhesive garden tape or thick rope.
Bløssom And Friends, Thank you for watching! Avocado trees can be grown as houseplants. However, it will not be easy to make them fruit indoors. You can find more details here: herbsathome.co/how-to-grow-avocados-indoors/

Avocado seeds contain a high concentration of tannin, which turns red upon contact with oxygen in the air.
