Avocados fruit drop - The mystery explained

If you experienced seasonal fruit drop this is a must see TV. Why some #avocados fell to the ground while others remained attached to the trees? Our own, Mark Heyward, Manager director of Phytech Australia (And a detective in another lifetime) , literally cuts into the heart of the matter to solve the mystery of the lost avocados. (spoiler: it's the stress Dr. Watson)..#digitafarming #phytech #avocados #irrigation #agtech #fruitdrop

My large and old Fuerte avocado tree will drop fruit during the growing season. This year I’m doing foliar feeding with fish fertilizer and some Foxfarm brand nutrients in the early evening once a week as well as putting fertilizer that’s been diluted in a 5 gallon container where the irrigation drip lines are. I had extensive fruit drop when I was still using sprinklers. Now with deep watering and mulching I’m keeping more of the crop. I did use honey water to bring the bees to the tree which resulted in a large crop despite so little rain this winter in SoCal. Also here in SoCal they like if you just give the leaves rain by just spraying water from above… I spray off the spider mites if possible.

Some small avocados in the size of flowers are falling from the giant root sucker we have on our old Fuerte tree. Do you know why? They get dry and fall. We kept this root sucker because it was very thick and the people we consulted with said that we should keep it for one year and see if it produces good fruit and as its very thick cutting it may damage the tree. The main tree in like 50-60 years old probably and its flowers would open I think next week. The root sucker is full of flowers and lots of tiny(flower size almost) small avocados.

I had maybe 5 years ago, Little baby avocados drop off tree. About 100 a day. I don’t know if it was from over watering. My husband had died and he took care of the trees. I didn’t know what he did and we had 100’s of avocados. I have sold the house & moved. Planted a new bay Haas. Trying to learn how to take care of it. I hear conflicting messages from different KZbinr’s. Some say lots of water every day and others once a week or two weeks.

I am sorry about the loss of your husband. I lost my wife about 10 months ago to MBC and what gives me comfort is Acts 24:15. My wife's mother 90 year old mother and I live in the South end of the San Joaquin Valley in California and we We have noticed a lot of leaves and thumb sized fruit dropping off our avocado tree. We are in another draught and the heat has been intense. Even though we keep the avocado tree well watered it still is dropping fruit.

[@momepenni]

@@kermitefrog64 I am thinking that maybe we give them too much water, that they were dropping. I have a bad habit of doing that. I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Yes I am looking forward to the resurrection right here on earth. I have some I am looking forward to coming back. (2 babies. My mother & father, Great Grandmother. And friends of course.

My trees seem to drop more depending on the variety. Oro negro and brogan are the worst, Catalina and croquet hold fruit . I have other trees that are mystery trees that hold good. This is pine island Florida.sw coast. I think the problem may be salt from hurricane Ian.

[@Betty599]

Paso Robles Ca. my Oro negro all of the fruit drop last week maybe my tree still young? But my Choquette avocado is holding fruits, This year I decided to give my avocado tree lot more water than normal and the fruit is holding better than last year. Plus I add lot more mulch .

[@dianekeenley2662]

You mentioned the stems- but never went into detail. Mine fell off in fall with stems on? Parasites? Cold weather/frost? So sad to see all this fruit on the ground.

[@KM00Youtube]

Can you eat those fruit that drop early like that? If not, what can you do with them?

[@susanfitzgerald2443]

Throw them away, they are too young to eat.

[@dskeenley]

It's been warm, but then we had a big rain. I also fertilized about a month ago. It is end of September in northern California. ALL my fruit fell off😥. Please help?

[@kermitefrog64]

My avocados are not getting that big. The are about the size of my thumb and they are coming off often times with a portion of the seed. I wonder if it is because currently we are having record breaking heat in the South end of the San Joaquin Valley in California. We have had a heat wave in June that is out of the ordinary. Todays date is 6/25/21. We haven't received the normal rainfall and the heat has been intense. We have been watering the tree but we have never lost this amount of fruit at this time of year.

[@AvocadoTalk]

My Bacon dropped fruit slowly in the last week, it has been hot here in SoCal and has not let up yet. One has the stem on it like the video. One just dropped yesterday, heavy winds and fruit came off with no step so I am assuming that the one with no stem attached was just from the winds I hope. I'm down to 2 on the entire tree now, crossing my fingers that they stay so I can finally taste a Bacon Avocado.

[@jomar7733]

Is it possible to somehow use an avocado that is so small, for a lotion, or something like that ?

[@Visionery1]

Don't worry about the noisy cicadas, it's unfortunately a permanent sound in my ears, day and night.
