Great fruit set on your avocado tree this year, Jeff!

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

The tree is self thinning most of the fruit but looks like I’ll still get a massive crop

[@lion5452]

Thats amazing 3 months !!😮

[@ChueyRodriguez]

Im in Tracy , very close to you and new to the gardening game. I had no idea 1 tree can produce various types of avocados! I just purchased my first Fuerte avocado tree from Costco today

[@lynnsarraille7360]

1 avocado tree can only produce one type of fruit- UNLESS you graft different types of avocados on that one tree.

[@annatian2006yoube]

Great advice, thanks 🙏 ❤

Here in Santa rosa near the coast, my queens and king palms are growing faster than ever and then they are going to Arizona-land! Its suprising that the high temps are getting this close to the coast. Its 96 degrees!

104f here in moooodestoo

I've set up a 4 pole shade cloth covering for my Holiday dwarf avocado planted 2 years ago- which is just now producing a few fruits. I'll shade it through this heat wave and then uncover it at the end of the week. I'll go give it some extra water too. Super bloom spring- we should get super fruit too! Turlock, Ca.

👍

[@estebancorral5151]

Yuck, you use synthetic fertilizer. Worms casting make trees heat stress resistant.

[@budstik]

Good luck with the Reed. My Reed flowered like crazy, but most flowers are not opening up and the ones that are only open in the male phase. Wish I would have waited 3 months to graft the budwood I got from Hawaii last November :(

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Interesting, but growing conditions vary

[@BigOsTaco]

Please I would love to see a multi avocado grafting tree like yours. Subbing. Love avocados

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I plan on doing a new grafting video soon , in the meantime I do have some older grafting videos , just do a search on my channel

[@BigOsTaco]

@@TropicalGardenGuy fantastic will look for them in the near future 👍

[@mutantryeff]

I watered my citrus yesterday in prep for the heat wave.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Excellent

[@eligomez7667]

More great tip. Thank you Jeff

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Thanks for watching!🌴😎🌴

[@mutantryeff]

I keep a shade cloth over my raised bed garden after I pull off the heavy duty clear tarp (25 pounds) used during the winter. Mostly hot peppers in the raised bed, but also two types of tomato, two types of Asian eggplant, pole beans that will not produce once we get hot, and currently weeds that I can't keep pulled.

[@lyonheart84]

Lol I do have a little chuckle to myself at your insane temperatures Jeff 😱. Summer has arrived here as well but that means dropping to around 50 at night and up to 70 daytime this week 🙄. No irrigation issues here yet 😂

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Lol

[@lion5452]

I try and fertilize through decomposed kitchen scraps ?

[@y.b.5536]

Hi Jeff, thanks for your video. I have a 3 year old Hass tree, it had lots flowers last year and had 5 small fruits, but they all dropped onto ground when they were grape sized. This year the tree also has lots flowers but only 2-3 pea sized fruits still on the tree, the rest all falling out, what could be the problem? What could I do to encourage more fruits to set in?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

If your tree is healthy, it could just need a little more time

[@rocket2811]

Is the video elongated on a purpose? The title & content can be fit into 5 min. Longer videos will discourage subscribers just a feedback to consider

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Had lots of requests to see fruit progress. As the channel progresses, I’ll get better at editing

[@mozee01]

great videos. I have to ask u. I have a haas avacado i grew from a seed and it got to about 2 ft in the pot and all of a sudden the leaves wilted and fell off. Now the plant is still there with a healthy trunk but no leaf growth what so ever. What can I do to promote leaf growth at this situation. Ty so much

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Hard to say without seeing the growing conditions

[@BigOsTaco]

Gorgeous tree but man on street! How many of these are lost to thieves? Lol.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

It happens rarely, but my neighbors keep an eye out for

[@Betty599]

Jeff, do you white wash your avocado tree when the weather in the high ninety to hundred+ degree ?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yes, any branches that are exposed to direct sun

[@rocket2811]

Water heavy 3-5 days before the heat wave 100+ temp( Summary)

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Yup

[@barbados199]

i saw a 4 inch green grasshopper on my avacado tree/bush 1 week after it bloomed. 3 days later no blooms! you think it ate them all? what can i do in future to prevent this, please help.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

I doubt the hopper ate that much but when I doubt, give the insect a funeral

[@barbados199]

@@TropicalGardenGuy i'm a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, very low mobility so i can't physically kill them... any advice on poison i could use that would not effect fruit? thanks for the reply!

[@chodaddy84]

Did you have to do anything for your mango

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

No, its flowering now and looking good

[@chodaddy84]

@TropicalGardenGuy it takes the heat or shaded out?

[@ZamaniSahib]

Which varieties have you had most success with in Modesto?

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Mexicola grande

[@ZamaniSahib]

@@TropicalGardenGuy Any other varieties?

[@mutantryeff]

Today, I learned I received another Gold Medal from the State Fair for my Eisbock homebrew. Scored 43 out of 50. I now have 4 Gold, 3 Silver, and 1 Bronze from the State Fair over the last three competitions.

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Congrats!

[@rocket2811]

Getting to the point takes 8 min 🙄🙄

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

lol the point was 2 fold as a lot of folks want to see the progress of the fruit as well as irrigation
