Awesome video man.

New subscriber here.. I love avocado

[@khongsakaresanasuwan2555]

Thanks for your video.

[@frankyancy1347]

Thx for another excellent video, since I quite like and enjoy our Bacon, looking forward to the Ettinger when it sizes up. Hass and others like Fuerte always rated better by aficionados. BUT my Bacon tree gives a good crop EVERY year, whereas the Hass only has ONE fruit this year. Plus Bacons are beautiful trees.

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi Frank, Agreed on Bacons being absolutely beautiful trees!

Nice!!! Been waiting for this profile. Thank you. I planted mine about 2 months ago from a 5 gal. from Menlo Growers in San Martin. How many Ettinger have you seen in SoCal?

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi Pat, How many Ettinger trees have I seen in SoCal? Very few outside of some that are used as pollenizers in a few commercial groves.

[@spinnordoctor]

Where did the ones in your video come from? I think you are growing right? I just bought on a fluke. I never heard of it before I saw at Menlo Growers. The owners of Epicenter said it sucks in their location but I’m one mountain range in from them across Silicon Valley in hills where it is warmer overall than where they live. One thing that’s interesting my tree variety that is producing best by far over all others is Reed.

@@spinnordoctor The Ettinger avocados in the video came from a farmer friend. I do have an Ettinger tree but it is young. My location has cold nights and I don't expect Ettinger to fruit well here; I'm using it primarily as a pollenizer for Pinkerton and Hass. Good to hear that Reed is so reliable for you. It is for me too.

[@spinnordoctor]

@@gregalderdotcom great minds think alike! I have a Hass and Pinkerton very close to the Ettinger

I tried going to your blog, but my browser flags a security warning. I tried on different browsers and the same thing happens. :-(

Sorry, Lynn. The server is being fixed right now. It should be back very soon.

[@ivanramirez5602]

Great Videos. Does it have a strong grassy taste or a hint of sweetness? How would you compare its taste to a Jim Bacon?

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi Ivan, No, I don't get those flavors in Ettinger although it can taste a little grassy early in its season. It's been so long since I've eaten a Jim that I can't recall well enough, sorry!

[@benderaviation]

Looks a lot like the Pinkerton but with a smoother skin and larger seed

[@jacksondone3795]

Can you do a Sir Prize profile?

[@gregalderdotcom]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to do a profile of the tree before the end of spring. You have seen my profile of the fruit though, right?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpy7Zat4qp2hmcU

This is the avocado they eat in Israel. They're honestly not bad at all, less fatty than Haas,

[@kenzangeobio3054]

There are many other avocado varieties, I am curious why Ettinger is popular in Israel?
