New update on Gem Brokaw trees planted late summer Fresno county

[@TropicalGardenGuy]

Looking Good!

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@TropicalGardenGuy ya I'm excited to see if my imported top soil does a lot better than native soil, plus if clonal root stock grows any faster than seed rootstock

[@EffectivImmediately]

How far apart did you plant your Avo volcanos? 🌋 🥑

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@EffectivImmediately most are approx 9 to ten feet apart some are 5 feet but will be crowded down the road I wouldn't rec planting that close even for gem

@@RareAvoTrees thanks man

[@ocneal]

Will you be mulching that whole area there? Looks like ac lot of time planning, but it’ll pay off. Love the mounds!

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@ocneal mulching will slid off the steep mounds but will try latter as trees age some and roots hit the flat native soil.

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@ocneal yes mounds are a must in my native clay, better than digging holes in clay and then improving soil in the hole sometimes that can cause a hidden underground pool of water a deathtrap.

Is brokaw nursery open to public to purchase Gem Avocados trees or any avocado tree.

[@RareAvoTrees]

@@AlexSaldana-lb5me Brokaw mostly known for a wholesale commercial nursery but they will sell with a 20 tree minium and trees have to have a deposit placed in advance

[@RareAvoTrees]

Brokaw trees normally placed a few years in advance

@@RareAvoTrees oh ok, thanks for the info I live in the central valley I was able to get in the Long Beach area but it seems like it went into shock.
