You felt bad and dug it up 🥺🥺 thats so sweet i cant

[@NordicPlantLover]

My heart couldn’t take the regrets if i I left it 🥺.

[@TropicalGem8]

I did the same thing last summer in London. Unfortunately my plant died from sun damage. Rookie error. I really like your avocado , they are so informative.

[@TropicalGem8]

My plant was an indoor avocado seedling 3 years old and was very similar in size to the one you planted. I didn't recognize the sun damage till it was too late. One side of the trunk turned a reddish brown and the leaves kept dropping.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Aw, too bad. Did you have an extra hot and sunny year? I was a bit worried for mine too, but it was partly shaded by the house.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Mine droppes a lot of the ”original” leafs, but the new ones was more resistant.

[@TropicalGem8]

Yes it was the very hot summer of 2022. I kept it in part shade. I didn't expect it to get sun damage from part shade. I have had more success this summer. I slowly introduced the seedlings into the sun. This year I kept the seedlings in pots outside. Hopefully they will be conditioned enough to go into the ground after winter.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Sounds like a great plan, we try, adopt, and try again! 😊

[@DoctorJohn_MD]

Brave! I live in southern california and I tried importing an Irwin Mango tree from Florida into my state, but once I put it in a large pot it began to get dry brown edges to the leaves and now leaves are falling off :( sometimes these climate changes just wreak havoc on even established plants!

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! Im sorry to hear that :(. Is the climate much diferent from Florida and California? Maybe it just needs some time, hope it recovers!

[@ragnaraxelson59]

@@NordicPlantLover South Florida's median temperature is in the mid 70's whereas Southern California's is in the mid 60's.

Hi, thanks for these avocado videos, they are great. I have a tree that must be about 4 or 5 years old, it struggled in our bedroom for most of that time and dropped all of its leaves multiple times. When I thought it was basically dead I put it outside last spring and it recovered beautifully, now it's double its height. Now it's back inside but near a window and in fact it's getting a bit too big for the room and I was considering leaving it out during winter but I'm not sure it could take it. I'm in France (hardiness zone 7 or 8) and I think we have bit too many sub-zero days during winter, this winter it went down to maybe -4 during a few nights. I was wondering if there is a point where a bigger tree is better able to take the cold or maybe if you covered it up with a knitted woolen sweater or something?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Hello, thanks for watching! I would be careful with below freezing temps. Some avocado variaties can handle that, but it might be hard. I have seen people use christmas lights in the trees for small smount of heat, and bubble plastic to wrap around it. Takes a bit of work tho.

[@matthewbraker6306]

I was worried with the tree growing there it would eventually block the sun from your plant room but I guess it didn’t matter in the end.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Good point! If it evers grows that big haha 😎

[@Crazyforkoiandgoldfish]

Awesome 🤩 I will give a try to my avocado 🥑 put it out doors In April 🌱🌱🌱🌱

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! :) Good idea, April is probbaly a good time to do it next year. I was a little late here doing it in early June. I hope you get interesting results too, Good luck! :)

[@LayllasLocker]

YEEEEY! :D I was hoping you wouldn't actually leave it to die. XD

[@epicmemes3900]

Can it grow outdoors in Sweden all year or will it die in winter?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Where I live, it most likely cannot. Because we can get -20c if it gets really bad. Maybe in southern most sweden, it can with some protection 😅

[@HausOfZombies]

Awesome video! (I'm going to need to check out more of your vids) I'm from So Cal, moved to Sweden and miss my Avocados, so this video was super helpful :D.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! :) Welcome to Sweden 🇸🇪! I just put out the tree again this year, but no video yet 😊

[@HausOfZombies]

@@NordicPlantLover Thank you :D. Nice, hope to see a video about it. :)

[@raphlvlogs271]

they need fast draining soils to survive they can't tolerate soggy waterlogged soils especially when it's cold

[@ragnaraxelson59]

I have seen palm trees in Uppsala. Perhaps growing a drymifolia variety of avocado would survive in your climate with a little bit of frost protection. I use remay cloth with incandescent christmas lights to keep my outdoor avocados and citrus alive.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Interesting! How much diference does that make for the temperature around the tree? If we have really bad luck we can have -20c for 2 weeks here 🥶. I have read about some varieties that can take -10c, but only for a short period of time, if I remember correctly.

[@ragnaraxelson59]

@@NordicPlantLover -20c would be too cold for this method. The ground would freeze and kills the roots. I suggest looking for Reed avocado scions. They have had good success fruiting in containers 20gal or larger.

[@raphlvlogs271]

can they survive the winter outdoors where you are if you create a micro climate for them?

[@NordicPlantLover]

No, I don’t think so. We can get -20C here at worst 🥶.

[@islamialo]

What is your height johan?🇧🇩

[@NordicPlantLover]

Interesting question 🤓. I am 185cm

@cucumber_sandwich4562 it is around average here I think 🤔

[@PeterEntwistle]

Great video, Johan! I hope to give this a go next year here in the UK. I already planted a clementine tree outside and will do my best to protect it from the cold this year 🤞

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! 😊 It would be amazing to have them out all year long. Good luck! 🍀

[@jrgenbirkeland8451]

did you put it out again, now that its summer?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Yeah, it’s been out for about 2 weeks now 😊. Maybe a little later than what I was planning.

[@RootsReady]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing

[@NordicPlantLover]

I al glad you did. It was a little out of the ordinary stuff that I normally do. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@codysnyder5785]

You are basically the only resource I can find for talking care of large indoor avocado trees. I have a 10 year old avocado tree. Are there other people or videos that you like to reference for tips? I would love to share with you what I've been doing and see if you have any tips for me?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Hello. Yeah, it’s hard to find. Either you find serious outdoor avocado growers with lots of experience. But that doesnt always translate to us indoor growers. Or people with 1-2 tear old trees.

[@NordicPlantLover]

What I found out the hard way recently is that a yearly repot, even when the pot is huge is needed for best health.

[@DimaculanganPunch]

Excited to see this one over the years to come!

[@NordicPlantLover]

Me too! Thank you for watching 😊

[@OriginalCinn83]

I like your avocado videos, they give me inspiration. I think I will try putting one of my trees in the ground outside in the spring, and see if I get similar results here in the UK.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you very much! Try it out, it was a fun experiment. You probably have a longer season in the UK as well 😊.

[@ragnaraxelson59]

There is a massive avocado in London that produces fruit. Somewhat of a famous tree.

[@OriginalCinn83]

@@ragnaraxelson59 I've heard there is more than one in London. I've been told London is warmer than the surrounding area because of all the bricks and concrete storing heat and slowly releasing it. I don't know how true that is but it is as good an explanation as any for how Avocado ls growing and fruiting there!

[@ragnaraxelson59]

@@OriginalCinn83 Yes. That is why it is so important to plant your citrus and avocados against south and west facing walls in marginal climates.
