Growing Avocado Trees from Seed - 7 Month Update

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Growing Avocado Trees from Seed - 7 Month Update In this video, I'll provide an update on my Avocado Saplings that I've grown from seed that are now just about 7 months old as I started them on 1/13/20. I'll also be transplanting them as some are getting root-bound (which is a good sign since many were struggling with soil mites in the last update!) I have 7 plants growing in this series - 3 survivors from the toothpick and water method, and 4 started from the direct sowing into soil method. I'll keep you updated on their progress monthly until they perish or produce (fingers crossed). Tips for growing avocado trees: Avocado trees really don't prefer full sun all day and especially not 100 degree temperatures so It's been tough planning where he should stay during the days - preferably a partial sun/shady area. Avocado trees do enjoy slightly acidic soil that is well draining. A PH of 6.0 - 6.5 is ideal and having sandy soil conditions also helps. They also are heavy nitrogen feeders so a monthly feeding should be used after they reach a few feet tall. Your soil should consist of a mixture of Limestone, crushed granite and sandy loam. Make sure it is well-draining to prevent root rot. I hope you will enjoy this new video and the series.

Hy I just got a jackfruit from the store a couple nights ago im trying to grow the seeds one 16 pound fruit had 50 seeds 😆. So if you like i think pomegranates would be cool to grow they bush but can be trand to grow like a tree or you can try curving the tree in some spots for cool design sorry for long text love your videos new Gardner to Gardner 👍😁

[@Mgardener7849]

Good to see you back

[@anacondavapes8744]

Please please keep doing these videos it’s so encouraging knowing that there’s someone els doing what I do and growing difficult plants from seed and loving it.

[@FarmLifewithKids]

I’m so glad to see you back.! I’ve just recently transplanted my young avocado tree into a bigger pot. I’ll be uploading an update on my AVOCADO TREE soon! I had some high temps that caused leaf sun damage but once I placed it away from direct sunlight, it started putting on new growth. It’s looking good and happy now.

[@joeryan9166]

I love ur videos! Keep making great content. I bought some silver and am eagerly waiting for them to come!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Nice - Thanks Joe!

[@joeryan9166]

No problem. I’m glad that the runt survived, Bc u told me it was dead on a live stream a while back. Hopefully it will make it through the rest of the season!😁

My husband grew an avocado tree from seed as a teenager! Super interesting. My tomatoes struggled this year, so I'm gonna spend my afternoon planting some radishes and arugula for a fall harvest!

[@michaelkovacev6108]

Do you still have the Avocado tree?

[@vaguerabbit4162]

@@michaelkovacev6108 we don't have it, no. It's still at his parents house, but hasn't thrived. Ohio isn't the natural climate haha

[@michaelkovacev6108]

It's still alive, cool!

[@michaelkovacev6108]

And it does well enough to stay alive during winter?

[@vaguerabbit4162]

@@michaelkovacev6108 sorta, yeah. It's in a pot inside. So to thrive it really needs to go in the ground, but winters are too cold for that. So it's mostly just a rather tall houseplant

[@jazmynbarajas-trujillo1765]

Hello! I just found your channel, and it's awesome. Are you planning to do a garden tour any time soon?

Chips, Salsa and guacamole, yum. Cool video.

Your trees look great. Green thumb!!!!! I am really glad you showed your waterfall. I love it. I have two Above ground return lines at our pool and now we are trying to figure out how to use the returns as supply lines for a waterfall. Love your place. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

an update on the apple trees and kiwis too...

[@Jess7137]

Glad to see you back! Sorry to hear about the pests 😟 Do you plan on making any videos about them? I live in North Texas and we have discovered all kinds of rodents since we started growing 😖

[@mrturtleturtle7878]

Great video!!!!!

[@sparkleflair]

I find it interesting that the seeds planted directly into soil are doing so well. I'm sure if you were an avocado farmer, you wouldn't be starting all those trees in water!

[@soovy2903]

Your kiwi! Did it fruit? 🙂🙂

[@NMW80]

Any fruit on the peach tree yet mate?

[@davidkwinn320]

what soil mix did you use?

[@TheMassiel100]

Will you put them in the ground at some point or just indoors?

[@sandraclarkson3810]

Have you tried growing Concord grapes from seed?? Or Blackberries? I’ve been trying with no luck.

[@alexanderatanasov8318]

Hi Rob! Really enjoying your videos. I want to ask you one question though. What happens if you put the avocado seed in the water with the toothpick method but with the wrong side pointing down and leave it for a couple of days? Is it a problem, do I have to try with a new seed or do I just flip it and wait for the seed to sprout?

[@C3Poe]

FINALLY.

[@michaelkovacev6108]

I had one that grew so fast. It is 3 times the size of those in 6 months

[@nikarmotte]

Avocado trees are tough! It motivated me to start new ones again. But pretty sure this is the worst time of the year to do so though, no?

[@sophialarkin]

Can we get an update? Xx

[@GhoulishCop]

Any suggestions for yellowing leaves? My avocado from seed is about 1-1/2 years old now, it's in a 4 gal. pot and kept outdoors during the summer; indoors in winter. I fertilize it occasionally with a balanced fertilizer and I've given it a liquid nitrogen 5-1-1 feed when the other fertilizer didn't seem to have any effect. I'm wondering if it's an iron deficiency. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@josephc2801]

If your water has a high pH (alkaline), then definitely

[@marthinabriones2071]

Hey Rob, I have an avocado tree it's 4 months old. But both sides of the seeds broke of 😩. Now I only have the tree itself with te roots. I have taped both sides of the seeds to keep them in place. I don't kwow what this wil do to my tree 😢. Do you have any ideas what can happen if both sides of the seed break of? Will it survive or do I need to let it go? I hope you or someone else have an answer or experience with an avocado tree growing without the seed.

[@11zen11]

I also have 2 avocado tree and 2 mango tree ♡ (and others that are growing). And about..4 of future avocado trees, I'll give to some special people for me :))

[@TheMassiel100]

Can you grow a key lime? Only 2-4 years to fruit!

[@rockys7726]

I've tried the toothpick method and drop in water method. I've yet to sprout any avocados. I'm not sure but I have a suspicion there's some type of anti rooting process they've done to the avocados in my area. I'm 0 for 6 now. Why is it so difficult?

Ever try to grow pistachio trees? You're in a perfect climate for it primarily they grow in California Arizona New Mexico but I bet you would have luck. The pistachio tree lives 300 years it takes 7 to 10 years before it starts producing nuts.

[@vfran0513]

Hey Rob, I am doing the toothpick in water method right now but when seeing the progress of the other ones, should I give up the water toothpick method and put them into soil now?

[@NMW80]

I would wait until the seed germinates and then transplant it. Just keep changing the water so it doesn’t go stagnant.

[@NMW80]

But you can totally put it in soil for sure as long as it warm, has moisture in the soil it will sprout eventually. It’s fun watching the seed crack and the root grow a bit too in the water lol but yeah it’s not needed that’s for sure.

[@luckystrike656]

For me it was the opposite. The one's from water died and the one from soil is going strong (11 months) but he demands a lot of water. Didn't prune, maybe I should? I can't put it outside because it's not strong enough. He is tall (100cm) an skinny with not branching
