That’s lots of work 😳 thank you all farmers in the world 🌎👍🏼
if you think that is a lot of work then your a lazy gardener
Why the hell is everyone that talks about avocados so god damn wholesome and adorable😭🥺💕💗🥺
🥑
I was eating an avocado one day, I accidentally dropped the seed in my back yard and was lazy and did not pick it up, 2 months later I realized something was growing and did my research and it was an avocado tree.
lol, really?
@Comment Police it’s possible though
Did it fruit
i composted an avocado and now i have an avocado tree as well
I have over eighty saplings growing from composting but try to find out if they will fruit
I have A 15 year old producing Bacon Avocado tree and just planted another. I love avocados so much and started sharing them with friends so now I want to grow more. One day a lucky person will buy my house and get to enjoy those big beauties. ❤️ 🥑
yum
Thank you
Avocado tree does make people happy
yes
@@Orlosthedruid That's great. Stay close to the channel and keep us posted.
Ok I will do that
Watching your video makes me happy.
Avocado good. Tree good. Avocado tree very good.
Thanks for making this world a better place!! Really enjoyed the video!
Planted my avocado from seed 7 years ago. No fruit. What to do. Its 15 feet tall
@@mariaertle4576 Graf
At what age of the avocado tree should you start grafting ???
Hi my name is Gus how long does it take for an avocado seed to grow to a tree that produces fruit
@@gustavobetancourt3634 7 to 15 years
I love farmers and gardeners!! You all have been amazing and taught me so much and it’s now feeding my family because we took your knowledge and grew out family garden!! You’re the Pooh!!
That is one passionate and happy avocado farmer! This is such a "feel happy video", thank you!
My avocado tree just started blooming flowers after three years planted in our front yard. We are very excited to see some fruit soon!!! Greetings from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
Hi Annette, I'm so glad to hear you're getting flowers. Ours are just starting to flower now too. it's a great time of year isn't it?
I love your happiness theory. Avocados make people happy. TRUE. LOL
thank you
@@SleepyLizard Appreciated for your Broadcasting kindly for the peaceful world. Someday I'd like to visit your Farm. Tks.
@@briankim2278 lemme know and we'll be here waiting for you
@@SleepyLizard Thanks a lot~!
I just adopted a baby avocado tree and your video is a blessing to a newbie like me! 😊 What I meant by adopted is this cafe I dined in had a brilliant nature campaign that when you purchase their avocado smoothie, youll get to take one seedling. And suddenly today Im an avocado’s parent haha.
Alice, that's great! Good luck with the seedling.
That is fabulous! Where?
Avo-mommo
Which place is the cafe
A cop calling his boss after investigating in a house of presumed criminal - “ He can’t be a bad guy; he is growing avocados in his backyard”
Do you grow avocados in your backyard?
That is a HUGE avocado!
He is actually a pygmy
All produce is much bigger ripe and fresh off the plants.
BEST avocado tree video EVER! Thank you!
you just made my day
Yes! I found someone who grew and actually displayed an avocado. You sir are my hero
yeah, they all show the seed going in the water but they never show the fruit!
Last year I had a Haas avocado seed sprout in my compost area in the backyard. Picked it out in the fall and potted it up then moved it indoors to the basement under LEDS. Spring came around then moved it outdoors. It's now 4 ft. tall and growing. Rescued another seed from compost and plan to do the same. I'm located in Connecticut.
That's fantastic! Please check back in periodically and keep us posted on it's progress.
@@SleepyLizard You got it, will do 👍
Update: the second avocado sprouted in late 2021. I potted it up and it's growing strong. Once it warms up it will be outdoors.
I have 2 avocados growing in pots on my balcony. 1 I grew from a seed using the water method. 1 I rescued from the compost. Such an exciting find! I thought I damaged it cuz I was tossing the compost with a pitchfork. But it's fine and growing well now. Knock on wood.
@@janemack8852 Try grafting onto your seedling with a mature 🥑 branch! Seed grown tree will take forever to fruit .
Tks for showing us and helping the world to be a better place.
I’m a little jealous of the amount of avocados you probably eat. Yum.
This time of year at least one a day, ha!
and also mangos in the summer too!
Man. You have the easiest accent to be listened from the US for me. Cheers.
I just love this video. I’ve watched it 3 times now! Every time my tree gets to its next phase I come back and watch it again. :-) Thank you!
Lynn, that’s great! Please keep coming back and give us updates on your tree.
For huge avocado trees in a container: Mix your soil with mycorrhizae (from Jake Mace) or locally we use mushroom compost. A small mushroom covers my containers a couple times a year and don't know which one it is but they have a symbiotic relationship with the tree roots. I have a 12' tree growing in 18" dia, 12" deep wicking bucket. Still growing up after 4 years.
huh, that's interesting.
@@SleepyLizard if you try using it wear gloves during the mixing process. I bite my nails and mixed it without gloves and was sick for a week....but my trees love it
I'd live to see a picture if your setup
@@ksp1154 i could email you...
Thank you. I have a lucky avocado tree from an avocado pit that I threw in my compost pile. End of summer, voila!
this video gave me the good kind of feelings
thank you for the feedback.
Great video and honest and straight forward approach without ego. Thank you, I found the exact information I was looking for regarding, growing them in pots and having them self-regulate the size.
Man, as an avocado picker in New Zealand. I can say for sure your trees and orchards are absolutely stunning. Picking those would be an absolute breeze in comparison too the mazes we pick over here in giant slopes haha.
Morky, I've not seen what y'all have in New Zealand but I've seen groves on very steep and windy slopes in Portugal and it amazes me.
@@SleepyLizard that is so interesting (I have a tonne of monsteria too) and hopeful. The only place with full sun at my place in my home garden is on a windy cliff top spot. Great grafting info.
I have grown like 10 from seed but have learn much since seeing your videos and explanation and process for fruit. Mine are like one and two years. Live on zone 7A but brought under the porch for proteccion last winter. They are in pots.
I love them too! I throw the seeds out my kitchen door into the creeping Jenny patch and the seeds take root and grow in there. I now have 12 saplings in pots.
they really want to grow don't they?
I love avocado and I remember the seed that I had dried and kept somewhere... Going to plant one good variety soon... Thanks for the reminder 😊👍
Thank you!!!! You gave us your knowledge on how to grow and what to expect. I have tried every year and nothing happens. But with a Avocado farmers step by step knowledge I’m feeling pretty good this year. Great job and thanks again!!
I love how you teach and give good examples of what exactly you need to do to grow a healthy tree
thank you William
Bless you for making this video. Your teaching style is uplifting and positive without talking down to your audience. And SOOOO needed for everyone who's even sprouted a seed in their kitchen window.
thanks for the encouraging words.
Dude thank you so much.... my favorite fruit I hate to buy.... understanding the life of the tree helps so much 👍
Love this video, this was the best video about avocados. I've been growing my avocado plant for almost three years and they are about 2 feet tall. Thanks for the video. God bless you and your avocados ❤
Sleepy lizard, I have four seeds sprouting now. My goodness what as lot of work to get to where you MIGHT produce fruit. I think I'll leave the avocado growing to the professional avocado farmers like you -- and be a good customer! God bless you!
I love your explanations. Clear and straight to the point. ♥️
This video is brilliant, happy and so well explained. Your passion is so evident ❤🥑 Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thank you Melissa!
Those are the largest avocados I’ve ever seen. 3-9-2020 viewed.
wait'll you see the Choquette in October!
I have that avocado tree on some new property I purchased. It gives 2 pound avocados and I will be grafting it and air cloning it along with growing it from seed. I understand that avocado is licensed to one guy in Australia and sells there for 12 to 18 dollars each.
I thought the same. Massive!

Mendez sp.?
I absolutely love growing my own vegetables.
best feeling in the world when you eat something you grew yourself right?
@@SleepyLizard absolutely
Aww I love you. Avocados make people happy, and happy people make the world a better place. So true! Thanks for all the info!
LOOOOVE you and your tutorial, especially your comments and encouragement. I’m growing mango trees, onions, garlic. I need a garden because my little yard is filling up with containers... 🙏🙏🙏🥑🍅🥭
Phuong, that's great to hear. We plan to double the size of our garden over the winter. I bet you have some great recipes! Keep us updated on your progress.
My avocado tree has been going for 30 years. I have three of them and one was half burned by a Motorhome fire. They are Soo tall and fruit very well
sorry about the fire, but that's sounds like an avocado paradise.
Love your enthusiasm and I appreciate your clear explanations!
Thank you!
🤗🇨🇦. Great video , so the newest thing on my bucket list now is I want to see one of those huge avocados 😳 ! Unbelievable ! 😋
Thank you for the compliment. We'll start selling our fruit the last week of October at www.guacfarm.com but going by the Canadian flag emoji you might live somewhere that I can't ship to.
You should work with a cartoonist...your voice is GREAT for an animated tutorial
He does have a great voice!
i never thought about it until you wrote it :)
I'm an animator 🙋🏽♀️
Lori, thank you for the idea. I tried a little animation in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/tGToJYUkWMU/v-deo.html
I totally agree!
Lived next to an avocado and a lychee nut farm for 24 years, loved both!!
This looks like Homestead, Fl
You guessed it!
We had an avocado grove 1400 trees up in the Temecula Hills West / De Luz. We sold it in 2013 and I missed eating my own fresh avocado. So I bought at least 10 avocado trees in the last 7 years. Since I live in Temecula Wine Country, (it is on the fringe of the desert, Aguanga, Anza etc). The weather here is 20 degrees hotter than the West Hills. SO, ALL MY AVOCADO TREES that I bought in the pots, and tried to grow DIED on me. It was too HOT in the summer and too COLD in the winter. Now I know to put them in the ground AS SOON AS I GET THEM in the pot. Thank you, I learned how to do it better now.. YUM YUM!! Hopefully LOL
Jieranai, you might consider trying different varieties of avocado, certain varieties can tolerate high/low temps better than others.
I love avocado. And am going to plant avocado when I return back home. 🤗🙋♀️👍 Thanks for this video 👍🙏
Great video! I was just out in my yard nursing my two Avocado trees. Thanks for the motivation.
great way to spend your afternoon (or morning depending on where you're from I guess)
When you do grafting , stay away from sun heat , windy and shaking untill the tip produce leaf. Great info btw
Awesome video! Never felt the need to skip, great information, especially the information of the width of the root and such. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Im growing my first avacado tree from seed in soil. I see a shoot about an inch tall now. Thank you!!!
that's where it begins.
That is something I never looked at as canopy same as the roots. Awesome. You live in a warm place for sure. Take care & Stay safe. Thanks for sharing eh :))
This is awesome! Makes me want to grow an avocado tree now
Its so good to try to make this world peaceful. Thanks.
Grafting!? I had no idea that’s just like growing commercial citrus 🍊 Thank You for sharing!
yep, same idea
Those avocados are huge!
Wow this is so amazing I just started a garden on my patio and we have a small avocado tree this video is very helpful.
how's the garden going ?
Lol only 20secs into the video and gave me a lifetime positivity seminar improvement🤣😂✌️
that's funny
Thanks for the detail update i have started growing avocado from past 3 months and the results of the plant growth is great, i would be glad to show u the picture of my avocado tree
send a pic to tomsiddonsfl@gmail.com and I'll put it in a vid.
"Avocadoes make the people happier."
'I'm an avocado farmer. "
Haha.
This was all amazing info! I have started growing fruits recently and it’s so exciting idk why! Thanks for all the helpful info.
Have you had a chance to eat anything you've grown yet? best feeling ever!
I like the way you explain and the entusiasmo and great knowledge of the process
You said it right sir..and i love avocados so yummy..thank you for teaching me how to grow avocados
Try cutting the top and bottom of the seed across so both ends have a flat and put it straight in soil, I have found that it greatly increases germination rate and the speed that it throws a root. I have root coming through within about a week to two weeks.
😁 I got a hold of a very large avocado, just like his, put it straight into soil. It’s been four years in a pot, lots of TLC, avoiding frost, avoiding direct heat mid summer, repotting amending soil and my tree is beautiful.
@Marialuisa did you plant the whole avocado or just the seed?
Shelly Larue Hello, I took the pit and let it dry for a day then planted it in a pot of soil. I’ve also tried the water tooth pick method, both work but not always successful.
@@marialuisa5302 Thanks so much for your reply! Im taking notes on all your tips. Sounds like you know what you're talking about as far as growing in a pot. Thats what I plan to do as well.
I clicked like before watching it completely. Be back!
I appreciate your confidence. thank you
One of the best videos I’ve ever watched
Wow. Thank you
Very informative. Thank you!
I really appreciate you putting this video on. I love avocados and my doctor recommended for me to eat more of them . I'm a kidney transplant recipient and avocados have been a very important part of my diet. I'm now growing my own and your video helped immensely.
John thank you for the comments. I"m glad you're able to grow your own fruit which contributes to your health!
You do know it takes 5 to 13 years for fruit
Wow! Thank you for that info. I'm just an amateur at growing anything but this vid was super cool! Gonna try potting my tiny avocado seed hehe.
I did not expect to hear such valuable advice whilst waiting for my avos to ripen! Now I know! I have picked my avos too early and I have been taking work on and spinning about things that is out of my control. Thank you!!
Hi Lozanne, thanks for the comment and glad I was able to help
When you live in a country where winters can get to -20C and summers to +40 i guess all i can make is Bonsai Avocado.
I was paying close attention to all that useful information he is sharing until those amazing monsteras deliciosas appeared at the background 😍 6:35
Here's a vid I did on Monstera Deliciosa a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/oRL6xzDmiJY/v-deo.html
This video made me very happy, i have an avocado tree her name is avocady and she’s doing just great ☺️
Thank you 😊for making the world a better place and for sharing a little of your knowledge. My husband and I are growing one that we named little Avey and one day we will plant it in memory of our baby that I miscarried in January.
Enjoyed the video, liking your Avocado grove 👍🌱🌱🌱
thank you
Awesome avocado information! We have a few seeds that are sprouting now. Sure would be something to have an avocado grove like this. Those fruits are ginormous. Hope you are having a spectacular day ♡
You are such good person. Appreciate you wanting to spread the happiness and share your knowledge in such a genuine and thorough manner. A farmer might think why should I share my secrets but you are so generous. God bless.
thank you
A wonderful wonderful video! Not classroom-y, but real-world knowledgeable. Thank you!
My avocado is in a pot. I like to prune it and it grows fuller with more branches, I'm planing to keep mine around 4 to 5 ft tall and will eventually make it into a 4 ft bonsai.
Awesomw idea! Can you recommend a tutorial for that? My Avocado trees are in pots as well☺Thanks!
Yes please can you make a tutorial? I'm starting mine and I want fruit but I can't keep a huge tree so a bonsai will do.
Tips & Tricksss has it bared any fruit ?
forget the avocado tree I'm absolutely bowled over by the philodendron monstera's huge leaves in the background at 6:40
WOW!!!
ua-cam.com/video/oRL6xzDmiJY/v-deo.html
Loved the cycle end-beginning at the end of the video it's just beautiful how nature works
yes, mother nature is incredible
Thank you so much for sharing and showing your plants. I love avocados and would love to grow my own tree. This is very helpful!
You're welcome Ana. I hope you enjoy growing your tree when you finally get around to it.
Your videos are very informative. Great work
I grow avocados using the toothpick method. One thing that i have problems is that the one that i have planted isn't fruiting. It's been 6 years or so but no fruit yet. and also it has been planted with just few centimeteres away from mango and kasmir fruit tree. The avocado hasn't been grafted.
Yared, looks like you're just about in the window where the tree will flower and fruit. It usually takes 7-10 years.
6:04 that’s a really cool avocado tree
thank you. Got it in the ground in June and it's doing great in it's new home.
Thank you for sharing and showing us about these awesome trees/fruit ..... yummy!
Great tips and tricks for me, I just planted one avocado from seed in the soil, with your help from your video!
good luck
Pretty cool. Too bad I can't graft some new knees on me from someone else! :)
Steve Johanson ......Can be done 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
You need to have a talk with my potted avacado tree.
I kept it in a 5 galloon pot.. but it's trying to outgrow my room..
I should have bonzai'd it 🤣
This was an excellent video - the information was well-organized and communicated very clearly. Thank you!
Very good explanation. Straight to the point of what we need to know before we start out. Thank you.
Thank you Kathy. I hope you have lots of success if you decide to plant a tree.
The avocados we know here in the Netherlands are not even as big as the seed of the rotting avocado you have shown 😂
Desiree. Yes, in Florida we grow "green or "florida" avocados. They are 4x-5x larger than what you're used to which i'm almost certain would be a Haas variety....Has represents 90% of the market. When mine ripen this year i'll make a comparison video for you.
@@SleepyLizard Hi. I'm also in Europe, have a pretty nice size tree indoors. Have been trying to germinate more seeds but so far no luck. I'm still content with the one I have already. Will replant it into a bigger pot though. Does it need direct sunlight and humidity? I was wondering, what would happen if I placed the seed for germination into a dark glass instead of a clear one? Does the seed need sunligh to start rooting? Thank you, greetings from Hungary. Very informative video btw, so far the best out here about germinating avocado seeds.
@@SleepyLizard do you sell your avocados in the states? I never see them that big.
Actually avacados are supposed to be eaten by the now extinct giant sloths.
Its a fruit, It's existence isn't designed around one mamal
@@thebobman69 Is right.
@@thebobman69 Yes, but its like with birds which eat berries, which then get spread. Thats one reason, these plants develop pulp.
James Simmonds yes it is and you misspelled mammal
He's not wrong. There were a few animals believed to eat the avocado whole, all are now extinct. I think a lot of plants including fruit trees expect their seeds to be spread when animals eat them and poop them out in another location.
Thank you for the highly informative video. Those are the biggest avocados I've ever seen in my life
This was really informative! I learned a lot, thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You’re explaining those things very easy to understand. I have a small avocado and a mango at home (2 months old) and it’s so excited watching them grow every day ! Definitely makes me happy. 😅
Avocados give you endorphins.
Endorphins make you happy!
...Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.
Elle Woods, Legally Blonde!
LOL LOL LOL Love that one lol lol lol
LMAO
You need an avocado
It’s serotonin not endorphins
clear, precise, audible explanation. thanks for info
Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it
I have checked few videos and yours was the most comprehensive one, Thank You, I am an amateur that after retiring took into the growing of avocados, I have 2 plants that I have grown from seed, via the water/toothpick method, I hope I can make this successfully.
Thanks Fernando and welcome to the hobby!
