I just drove through Modesto yesterday coming from Folsom going back home to Long Beach. Man, it was HOT in the central valley! It was a nice drive though. I like the central valley. Stay cool.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yea, it’s crazy hot here. Will be same weather untill about the middle of October

That's looking very promising Jeff, hope the extreme heat doesn't mess things up. I did lose my grafted Mexicola Grande very frustratingly. Video posted today on the sad remains lol. Can't win them all I guess

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

In my garden it seems that my trees… all of them do fine up till 108f. The key is to have great drainage and good irrigation schedule . So many people start out in the beginning by shading the tree… Which trains them to need shade rather than deal with the sun. I try to explain that to the “ Experts “ they still shade their trees

[@poupard1000]

Hope you keep us up-to-date on how this fruit progresses.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I sure will

[@kenstockton7157]

Your tree is looking great! I wonder if your "Not Del Rey" is the same variety David Johnson sent me last spring with a few others. He only wrote "Tasty" on the bag, so I called it "Sabrosa" (since it's from a Mexican seedling). I grafted it to my multi-variety tree, and the fruit looks very similar to yours. Hopefully it will develop better flavor in Tucson's heat than it did on your tree!

[@RareAvoTrees]

Very cool Jeff , glad to see you have some monster fruit set I hope at least 1 can make it to 3 pound size, good call in grafting on lamb excellent choice, sorry queen turned out to be a dud and non - del ray, my sister still has a normal del ray it's a full Mexican.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Since I dont have any idea how cold hardy the tree is, I figuired it may be less hardy than Hass, so I grafted monster so that its surrounded by more hardy varieties

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@TropicalGardenGuy it's not very cold hardy I would place it worse than Hass likey close to reed, your yard warmer than me I think it would handle your yard better than in country. I would not be too fearful of cold damage grafted up higher on tree.

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@TropicalGardenGuy Did your neibor get any fruit set of Gigante this spring ? Gigante as you know takes a long time to mature but the fruit is so large it's worth the wait, someone told me I should grow Marcus Pumpkin as it takes cold better than Gigante.

Hi best farm

[@Mrtn150]

Where do you get your scions? In the central valley as well

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Friends

[@poupard1000]

Have you ever discussed how you prune a multi-grafted tree?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Good idea

[@EdwardStokes-mm4nc]

What advacado tree do you think does best in high temperatures Thanks

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

All seem fine in my heat though if I were to pick one I’d say mexicola

[@jessmad3824]

I was wondering if I could get some clippings from the giant Bay Area avocado. I’ll swing by.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

lol, I don’t have any… maybe I’ll do a give away next year

[@jessmad3824]

@@TropicalGardenGuy well let me know. All I need is one or two clippings.

[@jessmad3824]

So far, I only have two types on my tree

[@isabelayala7477]

I have a 20ft avocado tree but the squirrels keep eating them when they’re small

[@bleon5956]

Our Reed dropped all its fruit. 😢. What fertilizer do you use?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

It happens especially on young trees… I use Hollytone EverGreen fert

[@centralcaliforniatropicalg4686]

When weather permits, would you sell scions?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Sorry i dont sell stuff , but check out my 2nd channel “ Modesto Jeff “ I plan on doing some giveaways

[@nonagomez2989]

Can you please share where we can find bud wood here in the central valley ? I have over 10 seedlings that I would like to graft

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Check out crfg San Joaquin valley facebook page

[@rgviper]

Would you know why my avocado trees have so many dry branches or why do would just dry up? I water it 4 times a week

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hard to say without seeing the tree

[@olafusiogunibe9435]

I noticed you have bananas at the side there. Have you had any that ever flowered? I've been trying to grow bananas in Modesto for some time now and I can never get them to survive the winter. I did have one survive before but it started to die later on.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I have a bunch of bananas getting ready to harvest

[@coconutterrence8549]

hi jeff have you got pacific plantain in your tropical garden of paradise you look rather hot mate bit cold here only 71F to cold for me .terry

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

No I haven’t tried plantain

[@JABS1813]

Jeff, do you know what rootstock your tree is? I’m in the foothills above Roseville and we get similar temps.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

The rootstock is Mexicola grande

[@raulcasas4548]

When is harvest season for your Carmen Hass? This is the first year mine has fruit on it and I want to know when to pick it.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Not sure… guessing early next summer. This my first year too

[@绿草茵茵]

Sir, my tropical guava tree is only growing new leaves but never growing out flowers, what is the problem here? Thank you for your suggestion and advice

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hard to say, but I’ve found irregular fertilizer and irrigation affects fruit set….

[@绿草茵茵]

@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you but I still don’t get it how to take care of it and help it grow flowers

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yea, Id have to see the growing conditions and the tree to help much
