Northerly Most Commercial Avocado Orchard in the Western Hemisphere???

[@derek9285]

This dude is living the life, awesome property near the ocean, growing avocado trees, flies his plane to a nearby point break...

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Yeah. Maybe he was the inspiration for Point Break but he actually got away w the $. Like DB Cooper.

[@RobbieRocksWell]

WHattttt! So cool, I love Zone Pushers

[@davidschmidt270]

Right??? It's like..... challenging the status quo.....so awesome I think

[@HumboldtNinja707]

My home town. I was born and raised in shelter cove, kings peak. He is the only one in the cove with a salt water pool atm too. Trent's an old family friend. Old school $$$. He's got the cutest little gray kitten ever!! Smegol. Now that the weed market is gone, looks like avocados are the next big thing in the cove. 😆😆

[@jessicaolivia656]

So impressed! Nice job.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Thank you!

[@Moochy999]

Bloody AMAZING!

[@joycebenton]

I'm excited! I'm north of Shelter Cove between Cape Mendocino and False Cape on the south side of the Bear River and think I might just have a little microclimate suitable to grow an avocado.

[@libertyontheland]

My neighbor smokes out gopher for a living. Our area is loaded with gopher, they killed multiple mango and figs trees but for whatever reason they leave the avocado and citrus trees alone.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

That's what I have found too

[@ryananderson5710]

I think your right people don't so much like long videos unless, it's about avocados. Maybe just me lol. Love the video and the spot.

[@davidschmidt270]

That's badass......heck yeah

[@prestin6798]

Awesome video

[@ozzied4449]

You go to the coolest places with awesome people great video and info like always

[@dantheman6931]

Rad! We need a follow-up vid!

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Yeah. He called me and told me his trees were doing great

[@hcrone]

How are the avocado trees doing now, May 2023?

[@MsFishingdog]

Great video. Looking for a future video on this place.

[@bigg368]

Wow, beautiful property and beautiful state. It looked like he had a phoenix canariensis too. He is lucky!

[@RugerFan777]

Hiouchi outside of Crescent City will be the next. I have 2 ,20 high 3 1/3 year old trees that are fruiting. I am process of planting a Orchard next spring. 30-40 trees.

[@RugerFan777]

For Trent Sanders. Email me sometime [e-mail] . Love to talk to you. Especially about my area outside crescent city. My trees are thriving.

[@littlemar2427]

Good luck,I am planting on june 600 avocados

[@karlbe8414]

I would have liked to have known what soil amendments were going into newly dug holes for the Avo trees. Nice spot, who knew!

[@williamlockhart7821]

Mine is Coos Bay, OR.

[@ScaryHairyGary]

send pics to info@ goldengatepalms.com. I'd love to see it. I'm sure avos could do well up there.

[@williamlockhart7821]

@@ScaryHairyGary I've loaded a short of my plant. Only now. Had four more starts, but I gave them away few months ago

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Two thumbs up! My kind of place. Only thing missing is fruiting banana... Trent, If you want try bananas, I can give you some offshoots of a banana that fruits every year for me in Modesto.

[@centralcaliforniatropicalg4686]

what type of banana is it?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

@@centralcaliforniatropicalg4686 A sweet desert type of banana, my coworker from azores gave a pup a couple years ago. This banana is sweet. fruits every year

[@AdamOnVinyl]

Very cool place!

[@fissb1]

Thanks for the explanation, but Gary I hope you can get a stabiliser for your Camera.

[@Mrbfgray]

Nothing fancy, just his phone I'm pretty sure. Deal with it. ;-)

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

I’m surprised the avocados aren’t heat starved. The average daily high temperature is 70f in the warmest months, with nights in the mid-50’s. The daytime temperatures are most commonly in the 60’s in summer, so the 85f he mentioned isn’t typical. He has demonstrated that the trees will thrive in quite a cool microclimate.

[@maxgoldstein3483]

Avocados do well in most of San Francisco, which is similarly heat starved because of summer fog.

[@RareAvoTrees]

Gary how wide of a strip is the micro climate- meaning is it only about a 3 mile by 3 mile area so if you go 10 miles north or 5 miles inland are you already out of the micro climate bouderies?

[@toddanderson7484]

oh no, I'm going to tell my fellow short students from undergrad. A few are from avocado growing families from SO cal being squeezed out by water and land cost. This awesome good luck!

[@bolengerin]

The thermal belt in Curry County OR just in from the coast in the mountains is probably the very farthest. Mexican varieties not Hass though. Get a decent S slope just inland and some summer heat.

[@RugerFan777]

I have a Hass in Hiouchi, there is a Hass child right near the bookings harbor.

[@richardmang2558]

I think some one air-drops gophers into my yard. They are my nemesis. San Diego county is infested with the gophers.

[@davidschmidt270]

Hey Gary....you know where I could get a Scion from ??? I wanna create my own micro climate here in Phoenix AZ....zone 9 b with Hass as well....any help would so be appreciated, thanks

[@TheKayakfisho]

I bet cherimoya would do great there...

[@ScaryHairyGary]

I was thinking the same thing

[@rweb-dh9pf]

Any update to the 30 trees he planted?

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Doing great. He's coming to me nursery today to buy more non avocado trees

[@hcrone]

How are the avocado trees doing now, May 2023?

[@jamesfernandez9138]

How much land is this and how many trees total?

[@ScaryHairyGary]

About an acre and a few hundred trees.

[@jamesfernandez9138]

@@ScaryHairyGary Awesome thank you

[@yakkerklrm3659]

Gary, if you didn't go fishing while in Shelter Cove, I'm going to have to downgrade my estimate of your intelligence by several levels - cause its Fisherman's heaven

[@ScaryHairyGary]

Do you know any good head examination shops? I thought about it for a second and realized that you were totally correct. I will be the first to admit. I went to shelter Cove and I did not fish. Let the stoning begin! And I promise I will go get my head examined. Thanks for pointing out such a gross inadequacy in my Psychological make up.

[@yakkerklrm3659]

@@ScaryHairyGary It's OK, ignorance can be forgiven. If you revisit let me know and I'll set you up. If you come during one of our Kayak Fishing tournaments I'll bring an extra boat for you. Although I did note that your friend Trent has a boat, Dungeness Crab, Salmon, Halibut or Cod etc, You decide which goes better with Guac. FYI I'm enjoying your videos and hope to visit your nursery soon and pick your brain about Avocados and grafting/ cloning them
