Thank you for watching 🙏

Yes I do. I have Alano Sapodilla tree. It is in a pot at the moment. Will planted next spring in the ground.

Thank you for watching🙏 will keep you updated on avocado trees on the ranch.

Thanks for watching. I do use seaweed on my trees plus with my Asparagus.

Thank you for watching🙏 my husband said I never missed and I should go into competition shooting. He tells all of our friends he have to sleep with one eye open😂😂😂 thank God he have not had to replaced the septic lids yet😂

Did you ever see Yawt Yawt on KZbin? He traps wild boars in MS. You could get a thermal vision and rifle set up to take care of some of the large ones frequenting your area.

@ I have shot over 70 wild boars and gutted by myself on our property since we've been here. The most I have ever gutted/butcher in the middle of the night is 10 boars by myself without any help 🐗 I have 280+ pounds boar head mounted in my kitchen that I shot and killed on the other side of the hill in front of my house. Winched up the hill and gutted, took it to the taxidermist by myself. The boar head is in one of my video. (Avocado surviving a snowy Paso Robles winter. )The largest animal that I killed is an elk in Montana. Gutted it myself. It is not a pretty sight. I was the only female member that hunt and gutted my own animals at the StockFarm country club of Montana. We were the only country club member that hunt without a guide. We gutted our own animals our self. We hunt for meat not trophy. We used to hunt every year in Western parts of Montana, the Missouri Break. We hunt on BLM ranch for Elk, White tails, Mule deer and Antelope. Shooting large animals is easy. Gutting and dragging the animals out is hard. Wild pigs it’s much harder to shoot. Those little legs runs fast 😆 Gutting an animals at night it is very difficult. Back aching. We do apply for depredation permits, it’s aloud me to shoot 24hrs a day on our ranch. The nice thing about Montana is you don’t have to deal with poison oaks. Hunting in California you have to know how to deal with poison oak. My brother did shipped me a night vision thermal scope this year. But have not had a chance to use it yet. Maybe after the holidays. Lots of people we know hunt. But they hunt with a guided hunt. They don't gut their own animals. We do.

I know you’re highlighting your fruit trees, but you should do a video of capturing a wild boar 🐗. You’re a skilled hunter. Sounds like a wild time.

@@CVenza Thanks for watching. Yes. I have 7 + varieties of Olive trees 🫒 planted in our yard. We used to have olives orchard. Have our own olive oil. Removed the trees for grapes vines.

Thank you for watching 🙏will keep you updated on what grows well in zone 8b/9a of Paso Robles Ca.

Thank you for watching 🙏besides 40+ varieties of avocados, white Sapote, sugar cane, all kinds of stone fruits, persimmons, Olives, kiwi vines, all sorts of citrus, 3 different varieties of loquats, blueberries, raspberries, Asian and western pears, plums and pluots, 2 different varieties of pomegranate,3 different varieties of figs, 5 different varieties of lychees, 3 different varieties of Longan, 6+ varieties of Atemoya, 4+ varieties of Cherimoya. Now I am adding mangoes, guava, Sapodilla, and Papaya 🤞to my collection .

@@RichsMangoGarden Thanks for watching Rich. Never a dull moment on the ranch 😂🍷

@@casmarykay8433 Thank you for watching 🙏 next time I will have my friends do blind tasting avocado comparison. 😁

Thank you for watching and the info. With California regulation we would have hard time selling the oil. At least we know we have lots of oil on our land.😂

@@Betty599 Sounds like Jed Clampett and the Beverly Hillbilly’s

Thanks ocneal for watching 🙏 I thought you don’t like long video? It is nice that you sit through a long video.😁 I have so many funny story living here. And yes, I have not given up on finding way of selling our oil reserves 😂 I have seen all of the Beverly Hillbillies’s shows when I was young. Never thought it happened to us. That was a funny show.

@@xrsjohnm Thanks for watching 🙏I have to disagree with you on that. If the avocado fruit picked early, it will taste watery not much flavor. But if you picked at maturity then the flavors come out. Last time we compared Miguel avocado to Reed avocado. Both my friends and I we preferred Miguel over Reed just so you know. Also I find lots of Florida avocados oxidized slower than California avocados.

I was told the Florida avocados are not healthy To eat too much because they have too much carbs bad for weight gain? The California has healthy oil which is better than carbs.

Get a thermometer, know your temps

Your trees that you first planted could be weak not frost hardy because they were planted in poor soil, not in sand

Nishikawas are not cold sensitive they are hardy to 23 f

Thank you for watching. You are 100% correct. Initially was planted in poor soil without sand and gypsum. After correcting my mistake, the tree is able to handle frost.

@@xrsjohnm that is interesting. Nishikawa is from Hawaii. Somewhere I read it’s a frost sensitive, but I may be wrong. Thank you for the info.🙏

Thank you for watching 🙏you’re funny ha ha

Thank you for watching. Yes, we do have a weather station and it's really helpful for monitoring the temperature, rainfall and humidity. But it was damaged from the last big storm that we had. My husband had not had a chance to repair or replace it.

@@EucalyptusFarm Eucalyptus farm? A good friend of mine lived in Oregon. Her great uncle is the original person that brought Eucalyptus seeds into California way back in the eighteenth hundreds planted Eucalyptus seeds throughout California just for your info.

@@Betty599 yes we grow 40 acres of baby blue and silver dollar eucalyptus on our farm in Paso Robles closer to Creston

Thank you for watching🙏 yes we do have a weather station, but it was damaged from last big storm that we had. My husband had not had a chance to fix it or replaced it.

Good morning Jenny, I don't remember the name of my white Sapote, It is a dwarf root stock. It is between seven or eight years old. I did have label on there initially. But some of my previous workers removed the label of my tree, so I don't remember the name of the White Sapote. Every one that has a white sapote tree they love the fruits. Very low maintenance, no disease or bug issues.

@ Ah, got it. Did you need to give it any protection when you first planted it? Or is it a bit hardier than avocado trees? And how many years did it take to fruit? I’m so excited. I’ve been waiting a while for my WS. By the way, I don’t know if you noticed, but I have a new KZbin channel name. I changed it from my full name for privacy, and used a nick name my husband gave me. LOL

Hi Jennie, thanks for watching. My white Sapote tree is very hardy. The tree had no protection whatsoever, in my opinion is hardier than avocado. I remember the label on the box. It said dwarf tree. It took three years before it fruited. If your white Sapote is grafted you should be able to get fruit easily in two years. Depend on the size of your tree. I will have to check out your KZbin. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, Betty. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for watching. My brother in Georgia love avocado shake. He eat avocado everyday.

Thank you for watching. White Sapote is very low maintenance. No disease or bugs issues. Slow growing trees. The fruits ripe in the winter in Paso Robles Ca. zone 8b/9a

Thanks for watching. Very funny 😂😉. November is the beginning season for Monroe. I am very sure Monroe will taste different by the end of December or January. Monroe consider excellent avocado. It's different than Hass. I love Hass. Hass is heavier. I could eat more of Monroe than Hass. I could eat the whole Monroe by it self for lunch. But I could not eat 2 whole Hass. Every avocado varieties have slightly different taste. I encourage the audience to tried different fruits and vegetables and not stuck in a rut. Be adventurous when come to food. You don't have to go to Florida for Florida avocados. Florida avocado could come to you.😄

Thank you for watching 🙏

@ I don’t watch. I only noticed all the chemtrails in your sky and wondered if you notice them.

Not sure what you’re talking about chemtrails ?

@ yes, the white lines across the sky. They’re weather engineering sprays.

That’s what I was thinking you referred to. But was not hundred percent sure. Yes I do watch. Every Fourth of July we don’t have to go to town to watch fireworks. I can see fireworks from our living room window or outside balconies. We normally have barbecue outside out on the balcony on Fourth of July and watch the fireworks from there. At night, we could see the city view of Paso Robles all the way down to Templeton.

Thank you for watching. Will keep you posted on everything going on the ranch.

Thanks Jenny. 🙏

Thank you for watching🙏 In my opinion lots of farm in Florida picked they avocados too early to beat the competition of South America avocados coming in United States. That is why it is taste watery. If they waited to picked the avocado at maturity then the price will go down. Florida is competing with South America avocado market. It gives Florida avocado bad reputation for being watery because picking the fruits to early. Just like any other fruits or citrus. If you pickted the fruit early it will not taste the best. That is why I am growing my own fruits trees. Because I know how fruit should taste. Even in California lot of commercial farm picked fruits too early to prevent bruising and shipped to the markets. That is why store bought fruit doesn't taste like home grown fruit. Tom from Sleepy Lizard farm and Lara farm said the same thing. If you leave the fruit longer on the trees the fruits will tasted better.

💯

Thank you for watching🙏 It was 29 degrees. No burn on my young newly planted newly grafted avocado trees. Last year we had snow that lasted for three days. All of my newly planted avocado trees survived snow without protection without burn on my property. Watch previous video of avocados survived snow Feb- 2023 Paso Robles Ca.

Thank you for watching🙏 I have not had any frost damage on my Thai mango trees. But my Thai mango trees was little older than Manila & Orange Sherbet mango. My Manila & Orange Sherbet was planted three weeks ago. It did got frost burn. That is why I am protecting the Manila & Orange Sherbet mango and all of my other designer mango trees till spring. I am hoping as the tree gets bigger it will able to withstand the weather here. That is what commercial farm in Florida said. As the trees get bigger it could with stand colder temperatures. I hope 🤞. Will keep you updated on my trees throughout the winter in Paso Rob Ca. Zone 8b/9a elevation 2000.

@Betty599 I am going to buy a mango tree where did you get your mangoes from i am in zone 9b too in wasco

@@ManuelGonzalez-ol8ew I purchased my Manila at Home Depot. Mimosa Nursery in Rosemead Ca or EKT nursery in Lakewood California have lots of Mangos trees in different sizes including designer mango trees. Online utopiatrees.com have lots of designer mango trees, free shipping to your house. I am heading down to Southern California for more fruit trees next week.

Thank you for watching 🙏 you will be happy with 6 mil plastic. It will last you a long time.

Thank you for watching🙏

I watch all of Toms shows. This week I won a hat and a box of Monroe avocados from Tom live video chat😆. We were watching Formula 1 race and I was also on the Tom live chat. When Tom announce that I was the winner, I screamed so loud. I scared my husband out of his chair. He got scare & jumped up in the air so high he got mad at me.🤣On the second avocado question, I should have gotten right answer. But I was still laughing from scaring my husband out of his chair and not paying attention and giving wrong answer.😂

Thank you for watching Scott 🙏 That is great to hear. Growing your own fruit trees is the best. Nothing like home grown. Far better than store bought fruits. I share lots of my fruits with my friends, family and workers. Two of my workers, each worker have five kids each. Lots of mouth to feed. And if I do hunt. Most of my wild boar meat will go to my friends and my workers. They love wild boar meats.

Thank you for watch. I fertilize my avocado trees in the winter, summer, fall No fertilizer during flowering time. I use Osmocote 14-14-14, True organic 4-4-2, 6-6-2, steer manure. Some time I use 0-10-10

Thank you for watching🙏. According to the NEW USDA 2023 change growing zone for Paso Robles to 9a. Prior to 2023 it was 8b. 2023 the USDA change lots of California county growing zone. Just for your info.

@@TropicalGardenGuy I was thinking the same thing. Here in our cold valley floor in the town of St. Helena in the Napa Valley, we are considered 9b, but I cannot grow many varieties that Betty is growing. My guess is being on the elevated hilltop assists with the cold air not sticking around for too long before it rolls downward to the valley floor. Betty, you likely have a sweet microclimate that seems to serve you well, in addition to you setting your trees up for success with the significant mounds you created for them, the full sun exposure and position sitting under the house.

Thank you for watching 🙏. I don't cover my trees 100% or take the plastic on and off when sun up and goes down. The plastic stay on till spring with top open. It works best for my trees for my areas. I am hoping as some of my mangos trees get established, I will not need to cover/protect them. At the moment 3 of my Thai mango trees did not show any frost burn. But the Thai mangos were a little older than the other mangos.

Paso Robles have lots of wild boar. North side of our property border hunting ranch. We fence in our 200 acres. But we still have wild boar trapped inside our property, and they are multiplying. That is why we have second fence and gate to keep the wild pigs out of the main house landscape.

How do you protect yourself in the acreage from the boars? Do you have honey 🍯 bees 🐝 too? The nut trees you guys have would make good honey. 😍

I always carry a handgun with me, especially at night when I walk around my yard. From my balcony, I could see really well. I could always shoot from front balcony and back balconies. We have lots of honeybees and bumblebees, different types of bumblebees here because of all the varieties of fruit tree that I plant in the yard attract bees. I have honeybees and bumblebees year-round here, including in the middle winter.

Have you guys tried to produce your own honey with the bees there? That would be cool.

I have thought about it. But decided not to. It is a lot of works. Fruit trees is enough. Do not want to attract bears. I am just trying to get rid of wild pigs inside our property before they multiply more and then I'll be happy.

Thank you for watching. I fertilize my avocado trees in the winter, summer, fall. No fertilizer during flowering time. I used Osmocote 14-14-14 , True organic 4-4-2 and 6-6-2, steer manure. Some time I used 0-10-10

We got no rain in banning, CA 9b

@@xrsjohnm That's near Palm Springs . Thank you for watching. I have not tasted Monroe yet. Still waiting for it to ripe. Will do a review. Stay tune. Happy Thanksgiving. Cheer 🍷

I'm growing 20 types of avocado too

@@xrsjohnmThat is great to hear. Is it all California varieties? or mix with Florida ?

Mostly california and a few florida, day, super hass, oro negro, lila, poncho, nishikawa

Thank you for watching and subscriber to my channel 🙏

Thank you for watching🙏 I have over 20+ varieties of avocados from California. I find not too many people from California know about Florida avocado varieties. All they know is Hass. I find lots of Florida avocado are also excellent in flavor. Much larger than California. With all of the space we have I rather have edible landscape instead of regular trees. I like all kinds of fruits and vegetables. In Paso Robles we are limited on selection of fruits and vegetables, including fresh seafood and wild game meat. I like all kinds of ethnic food and restaurants. I am very adventurous when comes to food. Most of my travel is around food. If I can't grow it here. I will have it shipped in. That's including live seafood and wild game meat. All of my friends love to come to my house for dinner. Because I introduced them to all kinds of fruits and Vegetables including seafood and wild game meat.😆 Cheer 🍷 Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you for watching. I purchased Carmen avocado tree at Louie's Nursery in Riverside Ca. They have large collection of rare avocados at that nursery. All sizes .

Thank you for watching 🙏 That is great to hear. I am also hoping next year besides my Choquette, my Oro Negro will hold the fruit next year. But in the meantime I will continue to order Florida avocado to try.

Thank you for watching 🙏

Thank you for watching🙏. I do have name tags for all of my trees. They are little metaI tags. While video taping I was trying to remember offhand without searching for the tag. Trying to make the video short. Because not everyone is into watching long videos. By searching for the tags It will take more time on the video. I am trying have larger name tags made so it would be easier to see without looking for the tags as the trees getting larger. Something that won't fade in the sun/rain and it would last. I have over a hundred of avocado trees and 40+ varieties of avocados, Florida, California, and Hawaii. Besides avocados, I have hundreds of other fruit trees and berries.

You’re welcome. Your trees look great. I’m happy that they did not succumb to the negative consequences of frost! Your reporting gives me hope for my merely two avocado trees! I’d watch a long video with all the tags nicely placed by the trees. It would be cool!!!! If you need help harvesting the avocados give me a shout!

Where is your hill in relation to downtown paso robo ? How many miles away in what direction.?

Five gallon buckets of water can give you a rough idea of how cold it's getting if it can ice up or not on the surface of the water bucket Also the five gallon will give off a slight amount of heat if you put it close to your mango if you don't cover mango. But check the water bucket by 530 to 630 am range.

What is your well like how many gallons a minute and how deep is is your water well ?

Thanks for watching 🙏Sorry to hear that. Because of our elevation we are little warmer in the winter and little cooler in the summer. Even my young newly planted little avocado doesn't burn at our elevation. I would be curious to see if my Hawaiian papaya survive this winter or not without protection. Hawaiian papaya is a tropical trees.

Hi EucalyptusFarm, We are friends with the previous owner of our ranch. I purchased two avocados trees for them. Gem & Carmen. They love avocado. But did not know how to grow or care for avocado trees.They had a second home built in east Paso Robles in a new track development. I told her landscaper to planted the two avocados trees in full sun with lots of sand on a raised bed and top it off with wood chips. At the moment the two avocado trees are doing really well. Will keep you posted after this winter. The avocado trees are not protected in the winter of east Paso Robles. Just for your info. I will be grafting other B variety of cuttings to her avocado trees when her trees get little older. So it would help with pollination.
