My fellow ex Brooklynite, I really enjoy your videos and watching our shared obsession with collecting fruit trees. My current in the ground avocado trees are Brogdon, Catalina, Thompson Red, Marcus Pumpkin, Nishikawa, Maria Black, OohLaLa, Utuado, Simmonds, and Donnie. The most productive tree in my zone 10a yard is the Utuado . All of my avocado trees were planted from 3 gallon size pots and have been planted less than 3 years.

[@FruitfulTrees]

Thank you for sharing about what you are growing. Always good to hear and learn

[@FruitfulTrees]

how big are your trees that are in the ground?

[@royallan3717]

Thanks for the informative tour of your yard Paul

i enjoy your videos and happy avocado growing as i will grow my own avocadoes as well

[@desnalowers7116]

Thanks for the video. Loved it

[@dmatcardoug2986]

Hi Paul. I do not know my variety, but the fruits mature between mid-August and September! Creamy and really good!

[@Jckuz1man]

Great information

[@fishmanroly7450]

My Simmonds are ready around mid August in Port saint Lucie and there creamy as can be.

[@vladdelto7491]

Really like the video . The avocado season in South Florida starts in July with Donnie and some Simmons and the late ones beeing Monroe , kampong and Ronnie the one you got from Lara being the latest one ripening from late February till April.

[@FruitfulTrees]

Thank you. That's very helpful.

[@purchasecleaning]

I love your shirt❤

[@chaselex]

The avocados in the store have also gone through high heat baths to kill anything on it or in the fruit and also being frozen to ship. Not to mention being picked very early. Any fruit in the store is better for you and more tastier to grow at your house, even if it’s something you can get anywhere. But I’m sure you already know this Paul

[@Good-day777-55]

Totally

[@laurenmariebishop8409]

We have a local green ripe avacado with a smaller seed. Then we have many types of ripe when purple.

[@s.fla.beekeepingmangoesand1517]

We have a Florida Haas which might actually be a Super Haas according to your description. It's about 6 years old and has never been a great producer until this year. Ironically, our mangoes aren't having a banner year.

[@mikethefenceguy]

Lots of mango trees are having a disappointing year here in florida. Mine and my neighbors man go trees are doing about half what they usually would in Sarasota and I know of a local orchard that about half of their trees died in the last cold

[@VARocketry]

Would you please put the avocado tree variety's names in the SHOW MORE section of this video so we can look them up with correct spelling? Do you know a resource where we can look up the growing season of avocado varieties to pick carefully to extend our fruit season? Where do you look up which trees are type A and which type B for pollination planning?

Lucky you live in tropics

[@xxCHOCHANEGRAxx]

You're missing out on the Long neck Russell Avocado

[@Mrbfgray]

My best young avo *tree* was Reed but I should have topped it, was looking top heavy late summer, ultra dense foliage plus rain and storm winds broke 3" trunk less than 2ft off the ground last fall, wacked, expect it to come back with a vengeance but a big set back.

[@petermazilu376]

Great video, what exactly is Top Working? Im guessing you cut off the top of the mature tree and graft a different variety onto the existing wood? How exactly is it done? Id love to see a video on that. I have a 15 year old pinkerton i believe that i got from Excalibur and the fruit is not good was going to pull it out but if i can use the root stock for a more desirable variety might keep it. Also how was the fruit from Oro negro? Have s small one growing in a pot

[@NicoleCB]

How interesting that avocados ripen best off the tree! Our avocado tree is so tall and so loaded with avocados that I never thought we would need to be concerned about when to pick them. Do you harvest them when they're still hard or just before they're ready to eat?

[@FruitfulTrees]

when they are hard and it will take about one or two weeks to ripen

[@misaventuras6995]

I have freeze them ripe before and they work for smoothie, actually Costco sell a bag of frozen chunks.

[@FruitfulTrees]

I'll have to try that

[@johnbanach3875]

Love your avocado trees, Paul! DO NOT pick Choquette until November at the earliest, or they'll be very watery-textured and you'll be disappointed. The longer you leave them on the tree, the more oil (and flavor) they'll develop. (I have a lot of experience with Choquette.) I didn't have much luck with Oro Negro either. It didn't produce much, then stopped growing. If you like sapodilla, that's one tree you can plant in the front yard near the street. (I do like them, not everyone does, as it's so sweet, non-juicy, with no acid balance.) No one will ever steal them!

[@FruitfulTrees]

I have like 4 or 5 Sapodilla in the front near the road. My oro Negro has 7 avocado on it. First year. Not ripe yet so will see how it taste.

[@johnbanach3875]

@@FruitfulTrees The flavor of Oro Negro is very rich, that's for sure!

Enjoyed your video! Baby you watched Gary Gragg’s you tube Chanel on avocados? A lot of informative stuff. What kind of avocado is the one you transplanted with a tree bark with one shoot coming out? You can remember all their names! Amazing!! I have a fuerte, and Reed that I cloned. Took several months experimenting! Will follow you! Thanks!!

[@FruitfulTrees]

you must be in CA. Reed or Fuerte don't do too well here

[@f.fayerweather1409]

@@FruitfulTrees yes I live in the SF Bay Area. We have a short growing season here but I always have a way to cheat the system. It’s a challenge that brings rewards! We have a large variety of avocados here.

[@irenenabatov186]

Paul thank you for the video. And what is the best time to graft the avocado. I tried unsuccessfully many times at summer, late spring What time of the year worked for you such successfuly?

[@FruitfulTrees]

I'm still learning what the best time is

What about the Gem for Florida. It's hot with growers now because it tastes good and it grow to around 10 ft with pruning allowing more trees per acre.

there is not much out there on it but I just filmed one fruiting and will post the video soon

Hello I moved to South Florida 2 years ago, I would like your opinion on what 3 Avacado trees I can plant to have Avacados all year long. Taking into consideration I dislike watered down Avacados. Thank you.

I have avocado trees growing inside 25 gallon planters. Now, Japanese Clover is growing in the soil around the trunk base in each planter. Is this dangerous to the avocado trees, or does the clover act more like mulch?

I am not sure ask Jullian at Laura Farms. what kind of Avcado trees do you have in pots and how have them been doing? Do they get fruit?
