I am a commercial Avocado grower in Southern California, a couple of observations. That tree was definitely in poor shape, it had not been watered for some time, leafs were droopy. Ground should have been moist as well, otherwise the dry soil will take all moisture away from tree. Clay soul not the best soil to plant Avocados in to as they retain the moisture too long, and may cause Phitophera (root Rot) something Avocados are highly prone to getting. Definitely apply sun block, but don't apply to leafs, as this will inhibit photosynthesis. Also don't make a barrier to hold water against trunk, its best if you water slowly, small amounts and frequently, but allow soil to get dry so roots can take in oxygen, between irrigation. Otherwise interesting video.

@Salvador Dominguez What is the best way to grow an avocado tree in Zone 7b? Do I need a greenhouse?

[@salvadordominguez5925]

@@rd4469 Avocados are native to the Southern part of Mexico and Honduras. They can tolerate temperatures as low as 30* Fahrenheit, but much lower than that they will be damages. Lower than 27* for a few hours will kill it. So a Hothouse would be the only option. Hass likes to take up space, GEM is more upright and a smaller highly productive tree. Not sure if they are available to general public. Hope this helps.

how have the trees been doing.

[@larkatmic]

Ryan Issa Morning. They did very well last year. I followed your planting advice, and coated them well with your sunscreen product. They thrived until late May of this year. My bacon made it through, unfortunately my Haas didn’t do well. It was decimated by a June bug infestation.They basically ate all the leaves off it. I’m hoping it recovers in the fall. The branches although leafless, are still flexible. I have a shade cloth structure over it to protect it. Hopefully I won’t have to replace it. :( I do appreciate your channel. Thank you for reaching out. Here’s hoping my young Hass will thrive once again 👍 :)

Thanks for the most important tip for planting an avocado tree. I learnt it the hard way by losing an excellent plant! The top of the soil that the plant comes with must never be inserted beneath the surrounding soil or the plant will die! Now I usually leave about an inch above when planting to compensate for eventual settling in the hole.

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Benjamin de la Rosa, Thank you so much for the compliment! And you are sounding like a professional, already! Planting your tree "about an inch above when planting to compensate for eventual settling in the hole" is excellent advise. I'll have to remember to share that point in my next video publication! :-) Keep up the great work and thank you again for taking the time to write me! :-) Charles

I've always whitewashed my fruit trees in So. Cal., but have always refrained from using brown paint because some say only diluted flat latex is safe. Brown would be so much more attractive.

Hey Charles, today I received my second order of IV Organic 3 in 1. My first can is white and after I bought it my husband said he would prefer brown or green on our young avocado tree. So I got the green but after applying it to the avocado trunk I'm wishing I bought the brown. Oh well. Regardless, I'm excited to have it protected from our S. Florida summer sun. I also used it on a few other things like passion fruit, and a couple of grafting projects. I'll probably use the white for a leaf spray. I appreciate your advice! :)

Hello Charles, I have viewed many of your videos and find your knowledge and enthusiasm for gardening to be infectious. On your video for planting the avocado tree, you mention feeing with an organic fertilizer and spraying with a diluted Organic IV spray, but you do not mention anything about foliar feeding with a compost tea. At what point would you use foliar feeding? Do avocado trees respond well to foliar feeding? How does foliar feeding work in conjunction with an Organic IV sunburn spray?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Sweettravellumkan, I would recommend that you spray the entire plant (leaves, stems and branches) with IV Organic Ready-To-Use Spray (or purchase the can that can be used as a brush on, and then you can make a foliar spray by taking a teaspoon or two of the can product added to a spray bottle of water) to help keep the plant several degrees cooler during these long hot months. Please keep me posted! Charles :-)

[@lizanaya8441]

Hello Charles! I have a couple questions for you. I tried scrolling down to read the previous posts and didn't see my questions, sorry if it's a repeat! I am curious about the spray bit. You painted on the trunk but sprayed the tree leaves. 1) could you skip "painting" the trunk and just spray the hell out of it with the same leaf spray stuff? I went online to look at the two products and they read fairly similar. Just curious if I could use the spray only. I just picked up a Hass from the local gardening store and I do not see any browning. So I am wondering if I could just be lazy at this point, on a preventive measure. 2) If I am not able to pot it in the ground until I am able to move (a couple of years from now), What would you recommend for dirt/fertilizer and that it will be well drained? I have Perlite and basic potting soils, but I am just curious about the combination for potted soil. Thank you so much!! I just stumbled upon your account. Very to the point and well executed; I subscribed!
