I picked the first ever Lamb Hass from my 4-year old tree about 2 weeks ago. It had already changed to black 6 weeks prior to harvest. When I picked it, it was still very hard. Took about another 2 weeks to ripen sitting on a table. Just posting this so other newbie Lamb growers who are wondering about what stage to pick their Lamb avos. (Lamb are confusing because they turn black while still on the tree, whereas Hass won't turn black until after harvest) (The other two fruit on the tree are still very hard. I just picked another one). btw We ate the ripe one yesterday. Our verdict - delicious, very smooth and creamy. (Possibly better than Hass.) Cheers, Dave (in Sydney)

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I miss my Lamb Hass fruit, hopefully my tree will fully recover after it almost died from root rot. Thanks for sharing.

[@davewastech]

@@RealLifeFruitopia Sorry to hear your Lamb Hass got flooded (I just watched some of your other videos about your Lamb). Would it help to mound the soil up about 0.5m or more prior to planting your avos to increase drainage? Because we have a mostly clay soil we made a sandy loam mound about 0.3m high and planted it on top. (if I had a bigger pile of sand to use I would have gone higher). So far it has survived some extreme rain events (our Sydney suburb received 718mm of rain in March this year), but presumably when the tree grows bigger the roots eventually will get down into the clay, and so phytophthora could still kill it(?)

Nice video. Thank you. Nice to see what goes on outside of Southern California.. Also nice to see that Lamb/Hass is your favorite... But of course seasonality plays a ole in making a call on top variety. Here in So Cal Lamb is mature six months later than Hass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it compliments the Hass perfectly! I also like Pinkerton when they are big and mature like your example, and Fuerte for a few months long before the Lamb is mature.... Cheers, gray

Hi...planning to get a Little Cado and plant it in a 40gal trash bin. Do you think it will beae fruits in there?

[@parker1ray]

I had a brogon that was big and beautiful and produced two dozen little avocados. within a month all the avocados had dropped and every leaf fell off. I tried to nurse the tree back to health, and it eventually tried to put out some new leaves, but eventually all the branches died and the leaves fell of again. My son girdled the lower trunk with a trimmer half the way around. I am pretty sure that caused the demise!

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I've had similar disappointments with avocado, it's sad to see. Better luck with your replacement.

[@0anant0]

If branches start to die from the top, it is possibly root rot (when the tap root finally reaches water-logged, clay soil). Planting it on a mound helps -- check the video by Self Sufficient Me about this.

Hi do you know which is the most heat tolerant ones. I live in Sydney and the Bacon Avacado I purchased this year died after the heatwaves we had.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Avocado needs sun protection for the first year or two in the ground. Same applies for any variety. I give further tips in the avocado playlist.

[@meethu101]

Do you up-pot the avocados/tropicals when you first get an advanced tree from the nursery for the 2-3 year period before planting in ground? Do they need more water and fertiliser in pots?

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I always up pot when I bring a new tree home. I protect it from direct sun and wind blasts in a micro climate on the side of the home, where it lives for 2-3 years. I pamper it regularly with visual inspections for bugs/damage and soil checks for its water/feeding needs. When I sense its acclimated or reached fruiting stage, it goes in the ground when an opening arises (replacing a diseased/dead tree). This year I decided to go in another direction planting 3 young mango in ground with morning light and afternoon sun protection. Fruiting mango and jackfruit are my next challenge. Stay tuned for updates.

[@jblo76]

@@RealLifeFruitopia You mention direct morning light and afternoon sun protection for mangoes. For a young potted avo tree do you recommend the same thing?

[@romerdelapena54]

Woow! Nice video! Just wanna ask about your soil quality in your location? When you transfered your avocado trees in the ground, how many centimeters when you reach clay soil? Thank you

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

I dug down about 60 cm till I found clay, then added compost and gypsum. More importantly, I planted the trees raised above level ground.

Hi, just bought a grafted pinkerton avocado tree. My estimate is the tree is just less than a year. But.... it is flowering now. My question is, shall I leave it like that because I saw some video in youtube suggesting to remove those flowers since the tree is too small to handle fruit assuming it will be capable of doing it. The tree by the way is like 1.2 meter tall. What are your thoughts on these mate? thank you so much in advance if you happen to see this and reply. cheers

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Good choice tree. I would leave the flowers on just as the tree does in nature. Plant in ground now or in September. Get a Lamb Hass or Reed to compliment it.

[@jonvanjovi]

Real Life Fruitopia Thank you.. I will check our local nursery for those type of avocado then.. God bless

[@richardmang2558]

I recently planted several varieties of avocados. When they bloomed I trimmed off all the blooms. I want the root system to get established and develop before allowing any fruit to set. Maybe next year I will let some fruit to set.

[@davewastech]

Hi - excellent video. Question - I planted a small grafted Lamb Hass (from Bunnings in Sydney) 4 years ago. This year I let it produce its first crop - three nice looking fruits. But I don't know when I should pick them. The fruit have changed colour from green to almost black about 6 weeks ago, but they're still quite hard. So do I leave them on the tree till they soften? or should I pick them now and keep indoors to soften? The tree looks healthy, and is a bit over 2m high, semi-shade. Thanks - from Dave

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

After turning black, you can tell when ready to remove by bending the fruit upwards, if it gives way, then it'll come off the stem. Place on counter until soft, cut and eat.

[@davewastech]

@@RealLifeFruitopia Thanks - Looks like mine aren't ready just yet, although they are black. I've just been browsing the net and in Southern California they're ready to pick over the summer months, so I guess it would be kinda similar here in Sydney's climate.

[@isakosm]

I live in Melbourne and i am a fan of avocado,few trees grown in my garden from seed the bigest one is 6year old and flowerd two summer but no fruit how can i tell different variety by leaf.

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

Most likely you have seedlings which can take up to 10 years to fruit. I highly recommend grafted trees for fruit in under 5 years. Leaf identity won't help here.

[@fanandairconditioningchann2989]

Hi 👋🏻 just wondering if I buy a Avocado in Melbourne and it’s been grown in Melbourne do you still need to keep it in a pot for a couple of year 😊

[@RealLifeFruitopia]

If you can provide shelter from hot summer sun and wind the first 2 years, then you can plant straight in ground. For most people it's easier to protect in pot because it can be moved around.

[@GraftingTactick]

👍

[@Hade_macro81]

Please show us how to identify variety of avocado from seedlings coz I have some but i can't tell which variety they are.
