Thank you Charles for sharing my quote. Your kindness and plant growing knowledge is why I follow what you share. Your truth & teachings really make growing better not just for me but many!

I have been planting all my avocado seeds for years and have never used the toothpick method I just stick them into my other growing planters with other plants and they sprout as soon as they come up I give them their own pot it works every time my problem is keeping them from freezing temps last year I put them under my drive port they were full of baby avocados and they all died so this year I’m transporting them both on ground and pots with plenty of mulch and build a wall around them I’ll see what happens I have plenty to experiment with

I wish I could get some of your cuttings when you prune it. You probably live in another country than I do. I live in Australia and I can’t seem to find someone who will sell cuttings off avo trees.

[@NMW80]

Cool that’s awesome. Are u in the US?

[@risingwarrior9937]

I've got Hass, Lamb Hass, Mexicola, Lil Cado, two Bacon & an unknown Variety grown from seed. Looking to add the Reed & GEM to my collection.

Do you live in the us? I live in Australia and can’t find anyone who will sell avo scions. I bought a bacon avo tree and have many seedlings for rootstock.

Those varieties you have are the ones I want too. I also want to try wurtz and Pinkerton. I would love gem too but they don’t sell them do they?

[@chickentender4037]

@@NMW80 Hard to find Gem even in Northern California. There are a couple of nurseries in Southern California that sell them. I think at one point the developer of Gem decided not to make it available to the public, only to commercial growers, but some retailers already had it by then.

[@NMW80]

@@chickentender4037 gday 👋😉 cheers for the info. Yes I found out also that they were mainly sold to commercial growers. It’s okay I’m sure it will come out for sale to the public one day. I now have reed, Pinkerton, hass, lamb hass, feurte and the bacon still. I also have been growing loads of seedlings in pots just as an experiment lol. Ya never know what they will turn into so I thought why not. Plus I live in a cooler climate so I want to see what can do well in our climate. We unfortunately do get frosts occasionally. Another variety I would love to get are the cold hardy mexicola and mexicola grande etc. It’s ridiculous they are also not sold in Australia 🤦‍♀️ They would be perfect for my climate too. You don’t know anywhere that sells them over seas do you? I know they have to be approved and disease free to be able to sell over seas.

[@chickentender4037]

@@NMW80 A few years ago I came across a program by a Florida university where you could order scions for grafting. Unfortunately I didn't keep that information and haven't been able to find it since. They provided a certificate for California's ag department as was required for a fee, but the plant material was free, to the best of my recollection. Perhaps you may have better luck (and patience!) than me.

What can be done about root rot in a 10+ year, large Avacodo tree?

[@seedwolfmgo247]

I heard from one of Garys Lecture of Laguna Hills Nursery that there is a product called Agri-fros. That might help fight root rot in Avocados and other fruit trees. Search for the video under Garys Best Gardening, both him and IvOrganics are very informative. Good luck Kat4animals00

[@viperh9948]

Resolve the reason for rot to start. Pull back mulch. Increase time between waterings. Add 5-7 pounds of gypsum under the drip line on the surface.

What all can avocados be grafted to? A friend of mine here in the Central valley we live here in a town called Atwater, has an avocado she grew from seed that produces a medium sized fruit with very thin skin.

[@NMW80]

Cool. How many years did it take her to grow the avo tree to produce fruit?

[@kellycap123]

Great info! After fallowing your fertilizing directions, sunblock techniques as well as a weekly Epsom salt water, my avocado tree has a ton of new leaves and is looking good. My question is during this heat wave (santa clarita CA)when the leaves are looking particularly droopy Midway through the day is it beneficial to give my tree another soak or do I let the tree looks sad during the day?

How much Espom salt do you give it weekly?

I have an avocado tree that I dug out of his yard. I don't have a place for it yet so I put it in a 35 gallon landscape pot. He says its 3 to 4 years old and around 8 feet tall. Is it ok to top this tree before it bears fruit or is it best to let the tree fruit 1st before topping it?

[@mikewalter7445]

do either of the lecturers sell scion wood for any of the amazing varieties? did i miss a link to reach out to them? great video.

[@NMW80]

I also want to know if someone will sell me some scion wood too. I am having issues finding some in Australia. I can buy the trees which I have bought a bacon tree but I don’t want too many trees and I have already got plenty of seedlings growing. Also I live in cool place and I don’t want to spend too much when they might die in winter.

[@tankwaldrum3631]

And, by the way, what's with all the strings inside the tree's frame?

[@tankwaldrum3631]

I noticed that your whitewash beaded up on the avocado leaves. Do you ever use a mild soap solution in your spray bottle to get your whitewash to flow on to, stick to, and better cover your leaves?

[@ms.d5540]

My avocado leaves are getting brown tips. I cut all of them off thinking maybe better leaves would grow back. New leaves did start to come but they are really small, and they are also turning brown. The stems are spindly. Whats wrong with my tree??

[@ssimpala1901]

a Choquette Avocado

[@NMW80]

It will be the scion variety you used which is the choquette. If you left some hass seedling buds on the rootstock it may also grow into some new type of fruit too. So you may have both but if done properly it will only be your choquette.

[@richardmang2558]

I use the Squirrelinator trap. Buy Model #90,000 since it includes the dunk tank required for killing the bushy tailed rats. It can catch multiple number of squirrels at a time so you are not wasting time by only catching one at a time before having to reset a trap like the Havahart trap. By the way do not ever transport live rodents setting them free elsewhere, this only causes misery for someone else.

[@NMW80]

Richard Mang exactly mate they are pests and need to be taken care of. They spread a lot of diseases too. They cause so much damage to crops so it has to be done.

Anyone in the comments reading this from Australia can who owns hass or fuerte or any variety other than bacon( I already have bacon) can I please buy some scions from you. I have been looking for avo cuttings for a while. I have rootstock growing so I just need some cuttings. I have spent heaps on my fruit trees and other plants etc already and I have severe health issues so if I can save some money why not. I have to spent a fortune on my medications and supplements to stay alive so yeah if someone could please sell me some avocado cuttings I would be so grateful. I can only seem to find trees already grafted and I am quite happy to graft it myself. I have some other fruit trees too I can grow some cuttings and do a swap with people for avocado cuttings. Also I live in cooler climate and I don’t want to spend a fortune on avo trees when they may die on me anyway. It’s harder to grow them where I live but that’s ok I will give it my best shot and growing them. I am going to grow some in big pots and also in ground eventually when it’s big enough to handle the winters. I am an hour from Melbourne so if anyone could help me I will pay for postage and the scions.

It’s just for an experiment to see what fruit they will produce and if they can hack the cold Vic weather etc. I think my avos may have caught a disease though so I’m so annoyed cos I spent heaps on them. I mean I’m sure if they were in ground they would do better but the clay soil sucks here so I can’t grow them in our soil. They are in pots for now. I want to do some huge raised garden beds for them with good soil one day. We might have to move too so I didn’t want ti plant too much stuff in ground.
