Wow, everything is looking great, thanks for sharing!
Welcome back Johnny! I see you are getting flowers too.
@AvocadoTalk Thank you my friend, hope you have been doing well!
I'm so glad that this year my avocado tree has lots of clusters. The tree is more than 50 foot tall!
Wow 50 feet, is it a pain to pick the fruit? Congrats on all the flowers, going to be a great year. Thanks for watching!
@@AvocadoTalk oh yes it's a paint to pick it. It's in my new house I bought almost two years ago. When I first moved in it had some fruit, but last year was horrible not sure what happened. I'm hoping this year will be much better.
Your trees and flowers looking good 👍
Thanks hopefully this will be a great year for fruit, thanks for watching!
Hey REM! Good to hear from you. Your trees are looking good, and the ones that are flowering are amazing. Lots of production on the way. I just finished RE-white washing my avocado trees and am going to be moving them to a shadier spot for the summer. It just got too hot for them last year, and I am starting a remodel of our house in a couple of weeks, so I need to clear out some space for the bobcat that will do some of the demolition. Once the construction is done, I will be planting the avocado trees in-ground. Can't wait! I see you are watering your trees now. My ground is still quite wet from the heavy rains, and there is more rain on the way. I gave the avocados a lite feeding 3 weeks ago, and they look good so far, and their pots (15 gal and 25 gal) are still quite damp. When do you think you'll start feeding your trees this season?
Feeding them now is on the list of to do's. I should have done them in January of this year but it is OK, they say that monthly light fertilizing is OK when they are young then every 2 months then 4 times a year. I do it when I can, should plan it better but trees are doing just fine.
I plan to turn the water off and until after the rains and the soil dries out to turn it back on. I ran it just to test it but I've had it running when it was still wet, didn't hurt them but a little wasteful since the rains...good luck on the remodel, I have some big plans this year for a BBQ area, need to get going on it too. Thanks for watching!
the trees look healthy good job! love your mello vibe
Thanks, so far this years is shaping up to be great. Hope your's is too.
Your trees look really good, I live in santee (East San Diego) and none of my trees are flowering yet. I have a Fuerte, gem lamb and wurtz
It should start soon, my lamb and wurtz show no sign of flowers yet. Hang in there. Thanks for watching!
❤ My Jim Bacon. Live in Bakersfield so deal with lot of heat. Productive and healthy. Everyone prefers it to Haas and avocado are creamy and rich. Tree is about 15years old. Maybe just lucky.
My Jim Bacon just hasn't done much unfortunately. It might be where I have it which is close to some eucalyptus. I've had it in the ground for 2 years and I've gotten one fruit so far and unfortunately an animal got to it before I could enjoy it. It's still small so maybe once it gets older and a lot more mature kind of like yours it's going to start to get better I hope.
Hi Lee, trees looking good. Glad you showed your other fruit trees. Which true npk do you use on your avocados and how often? I just bought 10-2-8. Thanks
Yep that is the one I use, it organic. Should have applied in January but didn't get to it. It does smell a little when first applied but dissipates.
Great video.
Thanks for watching!
We were growing 5-6 varieties of Cherimoyas on a micro climate property in the Menifee Valley in 1995-2003. Only way to get anything other than a rare fruit was to hand pollinate. PITA for me but worth it for the Wife...
I've thought about getting more cherimoya, Brokaw has a couple of different varieties available. Yes the pollination is a pain... I think more mangos first.
Can we please have Avocado Awards?
Yes my next video
Just found you site. We have a Carmen(Haas) and the clusters are crazy with flowers just starting to pop here and there. We live in Sacramento and bought it from a grower in SanDiego during a visit down south. Where are you approx.located?
I'm in southern California the IE area... There are a lot of people growing avocados in Sacramento. Carmen should be fine... Good luck.
Lucky you
Hang in there, should be a good year.
Trees are looking awesome. Just curious what you have been feeding them lately and have you notice a difference with different types\brands of fertilizers?
I haven't really noticed any differences between some of my fertilizers that have used, but lately I've been trying to switch it up and do different types of fertilizers. So no big noticeable differences so far but if I do notice something I'll definitely mention it.
To be honest, I haven't been applying that much fertilizer 2 years ago I applied it three times, last year i applied it once and this year so far I haven't applied any. I have some trees that I feel seems to be falling behind so my plan for this year and probably this coming weekend is to apply a chicken fertilizer and a TRUE organic fertilizer. Thanks for wanting!
Boa noite! São muitas variedades de abacates, não conhecia. Aqui no Brasil estado de Pernambuco tenho duas variedades mas ainda não frutificaram, são enxertos, mas ainda estão no vaso. Este ano vou plantá - los no solo. Depois que vi seus vídeos e explicações, fiquei curioso para saber qual seriam os tipos que tenho pois não conheço, não frutificação ainda. Comprei essas mudas como Hass somente. Se puder me ajudar a saber qual seriam? Poderia enviar fotos para seu e mail, se possível identificá - los para mim? Parabéns pelo seu trabalho!
Sure send me photos, it is very difficult to identify avocados from just the tree. Even after it fruits, sometime it is difficult but we can get close to the variety. If you say it was a Hass Graft then I would expect it to be Hass...good luck!
Hey REM happy to see all is well. My gwen buds just started swelling up last week. I wanted to know is your JB on colonial rootstock?
Actually no, it was from the old La Verne before they got bought out. Miss labeled as a Kona. Turned out to be Jan Boyce, nice surprise.
I hope my Gwen starts flowing soon. Thanks for watching!
Hi REM thanks for update. What sprinklers you using in that tree? I need to switch over from fan sprayers and hand watering. Everything flowering up here in Bay Area. Hass tasting great right now
Hello my friend. I use micro sprays and spinners.
Micro spray I recommend is "Antelco Adjustable Vortex Sprayer": amzn.to/3TijKAX
On the Zutano it was Antelco 360 Degree Adjustable Spinner: amzn.to/3kAOfzC
These have good adjustability to fine tune the right radius for each tree. Going to be a great year for all of us.
@@AvocadoTalk thanks for sharing that info !
Great video! I have got two Hass avocado tree, they are blooming so many flowers, I hope the winds don't blow them away. I do have a question, what kind of fertilizer is good for them? I have got Vigoro citrus and avocado fertilizer but not sure that is good enough.
That fertilizer works, although it's not extremely hot, check the soil, if it's bone dry you might want to water them. Also make sure you keep as much of the leaves as mulch as possible, it breaks down and the worms will make it the best fertilizer. Congrats you got flowers hopefully you get some fruit, good luck!
@@AvocadoTalk Thank you for the reply. I do water them every other day, and the ground is covered with mulch and leaves so it isn't dry for sure. I went to Home Depot to find good fertilizer but they had only Vigoro available, I think I have a better chance to find it online. These trees are 6+ years old so I am hoping some fruits this year :D Thanks again.
@@privik1973 if you are willing to search around for a Nutrien Ag store, I buy a organic fertilizer from them called True 10-2-8 in a 40 pound bag for $30 which is a fabulous deal.
Where is your location? Also what type of avocados you like name the three top ones. Thank you.
Southern California. I did do a top B type and will do my top A type avocados soon. The challenge will be doing my to 5 all time a and b type.
I like how you embrace your mislabeled trees. I remove those but I sometimes wonder if it was fate.
Of course this was not the fist time it happen to me with all of the tree I got.
Me too. I have had more mislabeled ones than I can count.@@AvocadoTalk
@@growyourownavocados it's sad because most people don't have any idea it's happening, all they know is they got an avocado.
Good point
Looks like you're going to have a bumper crop this year. Do you ever prune your trees or just let them do their thing? It looks like your avocado trees don't drop their leaves when they bloom. Almost all of mine (in containers) go bare and look very funny. Full of blooms with no leaves until the new growth fills in.
Some of my trees do that when they bloom heavily, they put all their energy into flowing and drop leaves. I noticed that they tend to drop more leaves in containers. My Carmen did that one year, no leaves then new growth came in.
I plan to top my trees, don't want them to get too tall and hard to access fruit. I'm finally at the stage when they are big enough and need a good topping. Thanks for watching!
Nice job with the video. Great to see your trees are doing well.
My trees have yet to flower. The trees that did have fruit, had all the fruits either taken or were bitten by rats or a squirrel. Including my only Maluma fruit.😡 Don't really think it's a squirrel... whatever it is, it's happening at night. Good luck fighting off them UFO's as you put it😂
I caught a possum one night with my live trap. Right now it's a squirrel, I see them frolicking in the trees and pulling them off. Here's to a good year, hopefully a lot of fruit and less UFO for both of us. Thanks for watching!
Good afternoon, hope ll is well. Was going over my trees yesterday and I can now say that all trees except Don Gilogoly are flowering. My Maluma is loaded with flowers. I was wondering if you would be placing another order with Brokaw?
I’m looking to pick up a few more trees. Gwen, Nabal, and a Edranol. Plus saving spot for Luna when it comes out.
Also looking for some scions of Fuerte, Bacon, and Lamb if you have any available.
Keep up the good work
@@gabeleon2922 hey Gabe, I checked with brokaw and the varieties you want aren't available. If you are around the area, come by for some free scions. Email me ...
@AvocadoTalk thank you for checking. I will be heading out for a little spring break vacation. Will email you when I get back.
Again... I appreciate you buddy. Thanks and look forward to meeting up with you again
So you don’t trim at all on your avocados…..and what is the blue paint
Unfortunately didn't get to trim before the flowers came in, I'm going to wait till they finish and do a light trim. The blue is half water half latex paint, I used it to protect the exposed limbs from the ☀️ sun. Home Depot has clearance quart paint that someone spec'ed but changed their mind. I can't believe how expensive paint is right now so when I saw that little quart for like two bucks I was like I'm taking it. Thanks for watching!
I have planted 300 hass avocado plants last year, But they are all grown from seedlings as per nursery from where I took them.
I have bought some more which are also grown from seed and is Indian butterfruit variety.
Can you tell me if I'll get some fruits from it in coming years?
If they were seedlings then grafted with Hass then you will get Hass fruit relatively quickly. (2-3 years). If they were just seedlings from a Hass avocado tree then it will take a lot longer, in some cases 10+ years. Also the fruit may or may not be good tasting , that is the risk with growing avocados straight from seed. The key word is grafted, most growers will sell trees that are already grafted. Good luck, sounds like an amazing 300+ trees
I am stunned by the fact that I got a reply on my query, It is great to see someone helping out even in the comment box. I’ll go through your videos and know more about your plantation.
@@chiragbansal6357 where are you located, 300 trees is a lot, congrats.
How do you deal with the squirrels I have the same problem they take all my fruit
I'm struggling just like you, I bought a trap but have not been successful in catching them. If I find something or if you find something that works let me know and I'll do the same. I did have someone tell me to try plastic bags and it semi works but not always.
I bought the squirrelinator trap works really good but out were I live they just keep on coming from everywhere I’ve also had to trim back my trees keeping all branches above 4foot from the ground and then putting a 4 or 6 inch galvanized steel round duct pipe squirrels cant climb up they slide off I use this method in most of my trees in the garden highly recommend it
How old do avocado trees have to be before they start to bloom?
A grafted avocado can potentially bloom the first year in the ground. Some are faster than others, my little cado, Fuerte , and sir prize took 2 years. A seedling may take 5-10 years... Year round avocados can be done, that's my goal. Good luck!
@@AvocadoTalk do you have a favorite avocado rootstock that you like
@@MakePeace123 for me and my yard I really like Duke 7. It's a fast grower and really tough. I have been working to grow Kona Sharwil and only have become more successful with it on Duke 7. Your conditions may mean a different rootstock could be better, for example I know a guy who opted for vc66 because of it's salt resistance.
@@AvocadoTalk great Thank You my soil is alkaline side 7.5-8 ph good to find best rootstock for soil conditions
Hi sir i need a hallp
I have hass avocado seed
How can I help?
