I used to feel the same way listening to "Car Talk". Why do I listen to two guys give advice to strangers about their cars every Saturday morning. Yet there I was. Thanks for the support.
So the grafted scion is a clipped seedling attached with a clipping from an adult tree. No wonder the Grafted Scion Boss has a kid's face with several adult limbs attached to it. The name makes a lot of sense now.
My dad grafted fruit trees in PA. I never paid much attention. Now that he has passed, I wish I would have been more involved. Why is it that people seem more interesting after they are gone. So happy to learn from you.
I find it very amusing that you video is in my recommended list. I'm a big fan of Elden Ring (just recently finished the game) and I have been into growing Bonsai for a few years now. I'm not surprised as I watch a lot of videos about both, but I never thought the two interests would ever cross.
I actually found your channel through searching for avocado maintenance tips, but I also just so happen to be an avid Elden Ring player. So win-win. :D Also, I can practically feel your joy though my screen. What a great guy. :) Greetings from Germany. :)
Lot of thanks and blessings once again for such vital information and entertainment. I grafted my tree that is fruiting and it's a success. I've learnt a lot from you. Thanks again for your videos. They help me well.
Canna, Thank you for the comment. Like I said in the vid I was so impressed that people who had no interest in avocados watched and appreciated my content. They were very polite in the comments like you. As you know that's not always the case with commenters on the internet, ha!
Funny thing, after I watch you show and I learned about having to splice them...I through the seed out (I have from a store) avocado and guess what the thing is growing. Well, I need a graft or do you have any grafted? Last time I checked you were all sold out.... I will ck again. Thanks for all your info. Love your channel.
Bonnie, many an avocado tree started in the garbage or mulch pile. They are survivors. Thanks for checking my website but I got my hands full with the fruit side of the business...gotta get the nursery going next year.
Sé que puedes hablar español te he visto hacerlo, te quiero agradecer porque gracias a tus vídeos me interesé en este mundo... yo tengo 3 árboles de aguacate que crecieron desde la semilla les tomó entre 6 y 7 años dar su fruto, por suerte son abundantes, son cremosos y muy sabrosos. Ya tengo 5 pequeños árboles creciendo para hacer el injerto con los brotes de los árboles adultos 😁. Un saludo muy especial desde Colombia 🇨🇴
I love your videos, and because of them I want to start planting trees to make the world a better place. My question is, after grafting the scion to the seedling do you cover the plant with a plastic bag to retain moisture?
I thought Choquetts were my favorite. I really love the flavor.. But if never had anything other than Haas. Listening to you describe Simmons, well, now I'm not sure.. 😆😂
The little Cado is not really a dwarf tree. It’s Max height is a little smaller than the average max height of other varieties but it’ll still top 30 feet. And direct answer to your question the way to keep a dwarf tree is to keep it prune to whatever height you prefer
Hello again. Do you have a video of what you do after you graft the avocado tree? I have shoots coming out from the top with leaves. Do I just let it grow or I have to prune some of this shoots also so the tree expand to the sides? Now that I have shoots coming in the top, can I take off the tape from the grafting?
Hello sleepy lizard... I have a question. Which variety will grow from the grafting, the rootstock variety or the scion variety? As i plan to grow mangoes from seeds i like, i would like to enjoy the fruit of the seed that i planted. Please advice. Thq so much. 🙏
Hi Moganavani, thank you for your question. When you graft a tree it is the scion that continues growing. Think of it like you’re planting a tree inside of a tree. There are certain varieties of mango such Ataúlfo and nam duc mai that do not require grafting. These varieties have a characteristic that makes them polyembryonic. In other words each seed produces more than one tree. So depending on the variety mango you choose you may be able to grow them from seed and harvest fruit within four years. Also the fruit will be identical to the fruit you got the seed from. Best of luck with your planting. Please stay close to the channel an update us on your progress.
I play games but not elder ring and it just happened that I randomly sprouted two seeds (one In moist retaining soil and the other in water). There is no neet to explain that I was taught the necessity of grafting from your content alone. It happened that a friend of mine has a non-grafted tree of 7 years in his backyard, it bears fruit( it started 3 years after replanting from a pot to ground, it seems that Mediterranian weather is good enough). Am I right to assume that my grafted combo will produce a better quality? Thank you!
@@SleepyLizard Thank you so much for you prompt answer!Both stem and shion are of Hass variety and the fruit bared by the shion tree happens to be decent.
meh i don't like to game that much these days, yes i did play some elden ring except that i won't game that much these days i prefer to be out in nature growing stuff such as trees like avocados
@@SleepyLizard some things like watermelon are tricky to grow like in vermont because they need a long grow season except we will worry about todays problems and not later problems
I never thought in my life that i would like to watch videos from a guy that loves his avocados so much. Big fan bro

Hello fellow person of culture 😂 here we are again, and I couldn’t agree more lol.
So the grafted scion is a clipped seedling attached with a clipping from an adult tree. No wonder the Grafted Scion Boss has a kid's face with several adult limbs attached to it. The name makes a lot of sense now.
Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. Pretty cool isn't it?
I love Elden Ring, I love avocados and I love your channel.... What a great and unexpected crossover 🙆😍🤣
Same haha
have you fought the grafted scion?
what about you Nico? have you battled the grafted scion?
@@SleepyLizard Yep! The grafted scion is the very first boss in the game, so I assume that's why you're seeing a sudden influx of Elden Ring players.
@@Nico-ur2po I think it's fascinating. And the people are really nice.
Man I'm already a fan of your videos, I started cracking up when I saw this thumbnail, love Elden Ring. Always love your vibe man.
My dad grafted fruit trees in PA. I never paid much attention. Now that he has passed, I wish I would have been more involved. Why is it that people seem more interesting after they are gone. So happy to learn from you.
did he grow apples?
@@SleepyLizard all kinds of fruit
"Lowly Tarnished... thou'rt unfit even to graft."
Loving your videos. Watching from New Zealand.
Hello New Zealand!
I love how planting works. It is very interesting to me.
Fascinating isn't it?
@@SleepyLizard truly
My 150 trees still growing...from pit wil start grafting now...andre SOUTH AFRICA
fantastic, thanks for checking in.

It's so strange isn't it? All the sudden my views skyrocketed and I couldn't figure out why then I pieced it together. Welcome to the channel.

Michael, thanks for sharing you success story. Nothing better than eating a piece of fruit you grew yourself!
@@SleepyLizard Blessings.
Great video Tom! Love it!
thanks Doug
Great video. Enjoyed it quite a bit, was also pretty funny 🤣
Thank you Alex.
Can’t wait to be able to purchase a grafted tree from you 🥰
I really appreciate the support. thank you
much like your channel, the game is awesome. just found your channel today actually. i watched your monstera delicious fruit video.

Would you please show us how ti tell the difference between reed , fuerte and hass by looking to the leaves 🥑
Thanks

Sent your link to my son who loves Avocados and Elden Ring :)
You’re a good dad To be aware of your sons interest like that. Also thank you for sharing the link I appreciate it
I ordered 20 pounds and can’t wait until they get here
got them out the door this morning. By now you should have received the tracking numbers.
great vid and explanation
Thank you Randall

Que Bueno, Si sembraste los 3 de semilla tiene el derecho de llamar lo. Tienes tu propio variedad!
That grafted scion boss is interesting. I just had to look it up. And now I know how to defeat it.
I was very grateful for him because he gave me an extra million views
@@SleepyLizard Opportunity is knocking. One video each day named after a famous videogame boss and you can retire before the end of the year!
I love your videos, and because of them I want to start planting trees to make the world a better place. My question is, after grafting the scion to the seedling do you cover the plant with a plastic bag to retain moisture?
Jim, thank you for your encouraging words! We don't cover the avocados but other fruit like mango we do.
I thought Choquetts were my favorite. I really love the flavor.. But if never had anything other than Haas. Listening to you describe Simmons, well, now I'm not sure.. 😆😂
the Simmonds is so good and I just ate my first Donnie of the season. My wife usually has a few bites but she ended up eating most of my Donnie.

Hello Tom, How do you grow a dwarf avocado tree, is the scion needing to be from a little cado or the seedling?
The little Cado is not really a dwarf tree. It’s Max height is a little smaller than the average max height of other varieties but it’ll still top 30 feet.
And direct answer to your question the way to keep a dwarf tree is to keep it prune to whatever height you prefer

Do I just let it grow or I have to prune some of this shoots also so the tree expand to the sides? Now that I have shoots coming in the top, can I take off the tape from the grafting?
Hi Rosa, yes. if you go to the videos tab you'll find a number of vids on grafting.

Hi I got a question for u. My avocado seed was dried for one month and a half. Can I still plant it?
Daniel, I would think it's to far gone at this point.
What a nice place, where is this? What county
Thank you. we are in dade county florida. where are you at?
I have a question: Can I graft a scion to a seed from the same tree, I grow a plant from seed then a get a scion from the tree I got the seed.
yep, that works just fine.
Question……what do you think of Russel avocados trees and fruit?
I love them. So delicious and what an interesting avocado. A specialty fruit for sure.
But where am i going to find an avocado tree? lol
Yes, that's a challenge if you don't have any neighbors with avocado trees.
I play games but not elder ring and it just happened that I randomly sprouted two seeds (one In moist retaining soil and the other in water).
There is no neet to explain that I was taught the necessity of grafting from your content alone.

Thank you!
Your grafted combo will grow the exact same fruit you took the cutting from. Do yo happen to recall what variety tree you clipped?
@@SleepyLizard Thank you so much for you prompt answer!Both stem and shion are of Hass variety and the fruit bared by the shion tree happens to be decent.
@@czar9191 that's exactly what I'd expect. That's awesome!
how about grafting two tree's from seeds ? will it produce anything ?
nah you'll still have two random seedlings you'll just have switched one for the other.
can i get on the list when you have more grafts?
yep
cool
Graft this guy on to
Grafted scion
link? i think so.
Lolol. Hilarious coincidence.
yeah, I was getting all these weird comments till I figured it out.
