This is what happens when you don’t train your trees for production …you focus on fruit at a young age

[@Franko91352]

Let me know when you want me to come graft this tree bro

[@AvocatDude]

I thought you wanted to leave the skirt, lower branches, to shade the ground and keep the soil more moist.

[@frankyancy1347]

Prune to shape and whitewash!

[@pareshbeladiya6023]

How long do you think that your seedling tree will produce fruit

[@fabiandiaz8342]

Very nice orchard! Thanx for sharing! Can you share with us what you use to fertilize your trees? Thanx

[@williambuckley6128]

Do you have a White Sapote?

[@benjaminbordson5524]

Why are you leaving stubs? It's makes it more difficult for the tree to compartmentalize the wound. You should also prune to correct major structural defects.

What is the name of that avocado from Nayarit?

[@hitecfeatures7462]

can we plant a hass tree from seed without grafting ?

[@socalbackyardorchard3768]

Yes مزارع الأفوكادو Avocado farm yes but it will take 5-10 years to fruit and fruit might not be the same as the fruit you got the seed from

[@Mrbfgray]

I planted a dozen small avos last yr. in more sun than recommended, zone 9a, far NorCali, painting the limbs as they grew saved me from having to shade them much at all other then late afternoon shade which they get anyway.

[@janiceblack9646]

thanks .. grateful for wisdom. I wonder in a few years will these trees not stifle and choke one another? I love the forest idea just seems so many so close.I am sure you have good reasoning. With your father's and your knowledge combined. I'd love to understand better. Thanks

[@Joelwilly57]

Do you think you could plant the cuttings and have more trees like that over time ?

[@BlackWhiteYanappu]

[@lovecatspiracy]

I really appreciate you and your father's wisdom regarding avocado trees. I can't remember which cultivar I have, but it is grafted and embarking on its third year. It has one huge single fruit that is still hard. Do I need to harvest it for it to ripen? I am in zone 10 and this tree is developing some really long horizontal branches with uprights spouting along the length of them. The tree is loaded with leaf buds on every tip. If and when should I pinch these off? There's no trouble with space, I am just used to pruning a peach tree which tends to crack if you let its arms grow too wide.

[@james-jq8sk]

Good video, I would definitely use pruners though, a nice clean cut will heal quickly, snapping off branches will often leave a raggedy end which will take longer to heal...

I have a 7 yr old avocado tree. I've fertilize my tree for the pass 4 yrs. And I still haven't gotten any fruits. What do you recommend? Well actually the most I gotten has been about 10 good size, this was last yr.

[@silversurfer702]

I have 7 from seed (2ft tall)and one store bought (4 ft tall)that is grafted. All in big pots. I live in Austin Tx. Any advice? Best soil mix? Nutrition mix? Thank you.

@COVID 19 hey. I dont think so. When I move to my house the tree was there already.

What is different between seedling ang grafting plant about fruting avocado?

[@LaneyBGood]

Maya Pirati if you grow from seed expect fruit in 13-15 years. Grafted trees are new rootstock with a mature tree branch grafted onto it. Fruit on grafted tree is more like 2-3 year wait.

[@mayapirati8468]

Thank you sir,does it snow ther?what are winter tempeture over there?i am planing to plant hass avocado in my country Nepal winter tempeture is 17-19degree,some time snowing is it possible to plant?

[@LaneyBGood]

Maya Pirati Haas is very sensitive to frost. Mexicola will handle frost and an occassional freeze better but probably not snow.

[@mayapirati8468]

Hi what up with you bro was wondering if you know where I could order a Reed Avocado tree from I'm in Arizona

[@mosthated8190]

Shamus Oleary has a large variety of Avocado trees in the arizona area , he has a great selection .

[@reefsurfer4ya]

Thanks for the info...nice video!!

[@davidharrison6120]

Might I suggest you thin your banana trees to the main tree, and only keep one follower. This will give bigger bunches and stronger healthier plants. You could transplant some of the better suckers and start a new stand.

[@princessk_of_everything]

Thanks for so muchhhh info..

[@eulogiogarcia8880]

Enjoy watching your videos bro, especially the ones on avacados. I have a couple questions I was hoping you may help me out with. Back in November I bought and planted a Hass avocado tree in a 15 gal ...I would say about 6 ft tall 4 ft wide full ,thick, healthy and happy. Though not strong enough to stand on its own I took the nursery stake off and restaked it myself so I can have room to sway and move the wind to build a strong root system. And my concern that I have now is that this avocado tree has set so much fruit I must have counted at least 200 little baby avocados on this thing. I just don't know if that's normal and let the tree be or if I should thin it out cuz it seems to be having trouble putting out New Growth I've noticed that the growth is starting from the bottom of the tree and it's working its way up, at the top it's bare right now. So what do you think I should do should I let the tree be or should I thin it out and if I thin it out should I thin it out completely or can I leave some food on there. Any help would be greatly appreciated bro thanks

[@socalbackyardorchard3768]

Eulogio Garcia let it be bro, no need to thin out avocados. Avocados will drop fruit on their own if it’s too much. Be careful with sunburn, if their isn’t too much growth on the top you may need to protect it with shade cloth or paint it.

[@eulogiogarcia8880]

[@GretaBeth]

I want to get another avocado tree but Evergreen never really has any. Maybe a handful of sickly haas, but that’s it. Where are you getting some of yours?

[@socalbackyardorchard3768]

Clausen nursery in Vista is a great place to buy avocado trees, that’s where I got my Reed. Maddock nursery in Fallbrook is also a very good place to buy avocado trees, they have thousands. I got my 2 lamb Hass and my Sir prize Hass at Maddock. Clausen is closer and they have a nice website if you want to see what they have.

[@GretaBeth]

So Cal backyard Orchard thank you! I have a lush fuerte that is doing phenomenally and a haas that is very bare and slow to grow. I was going to move the haas to a better spot in my yard, near the fuerte, but I heard moving it will kill it. I put iv organic on it to keep it from burning.

[@GretaBeth]

I called Maddox. They will have Reed & Bacon avocado ready to go in May. She also said it’s ok to move my Haas higher up the hill where he will be happier. Thanks again!

[@caseG80]

Greta M be sure to water it often when trans planting and maybe use some b-1 or super thrive to bottles instructions one or the other is fine they both work well for transplant shock. Good luck cheers

[@caseG80]

Greta M it would probably be a good idea build a structure to hold shade cloth over the transplanted tree until you see it growing good.

[@howtogrow9338]

How old this plant ? it is bearing a lot fruits

[@agrodesa3696]

how many years can be fruitful mr.?

[@reyn66]

try using a backpack sprayer and add a few contents of white chalkboard marker. You can also add some liquid seaweed to the mix as well. The white chalk will dry an opaque white and it is easy to apply.

[@arielcortez7393]

Ey brother, I have two avocado seedlings, but I noticed that they can take the full sun better than my grafted ones. I was just wondering if you knew something about that

[@socalbackyardorchard3768]

Ariel Cortez yes I have noticed the same thing, I have a seedling tree that has never sunburnt. Seedlings are hardy. They protect themselves from sunburn because they have a normal branching structure. Bud wood for grafting is normally taken from the tips of branches, that’s why the grafted trees have a open spreading type growth habit that leaves wood exposed to the sun.

[@marinavegahernandez8820]

Hi, how do you take care of a sick avocado plant? I have a mature plant with some black bark on it. Looks sick to me but I'm not an avocado expert. How do I fix it. Avocado s have Brown spots on them too. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@socalbackyardorchard3768]

Marina Vega 👋 black bark on your avocado tree is most likely sunburn, did it happen in the summer? protect tree from Sunburn with shade cloth other plants or paint the tree. Can u send some pictures to my email [e-mail] that would be very helpful in determining your issue. What area do u live in?

[@marinavegahernandez8820]

So Cal backyard Orchard hi I live in OC Westminster I’ll send you the pics. Appreciate the help

[@marinavegahernandez8820]

@@socalbackyardorchard3768 Hey there, I sent you the pics to your gmail account. check it out and let me know what you think it could be.

[@caseG80]

Marina Vega most likely your not watering the tree enough make sure there’s plenty of mulch or compost even some horse manure can work well keep it a foot away from trunk. And water it often avocados have very shallow feeder roots that need to be kept moist and when the humidity is low avocados need double the water. I’m in riverside smack in the middle of the strongest Santa Ana winds and I keep my trees doing great with tons of water luckily I’m on well water but lots of mulch never cleaning under the tree and watering some times every day or every other keeps them looking great. I’ve never seen a issue of over watering yet they are big drinkers in are climate. Cheers

[@djchancla2451]

What are the benefits of the wood chips I see a lot of gardeners using them

[@pedroaguirre5464]

DJ Chancla is like you be in the sun without a shirt.it will burnt you, so is the ground, it will bake and dry. the mulch will retaing moister in the surface of the ground.

[@caseG80]

DJ Chancla wood chips or mulch provide cover for the soil keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They provide a home for all the soil life gives the small bugs something to eat as well as the soil food web and wood chips have shown to add antibiotics for the soil. Good way to look at it and what we are trying to accomplish is how nature does it you never see bare dirt in a thriving forest. Cheers

[@mosthated8190]

Looks great !! But you didn't say why you and your dad leave a little nub on the avocado tree when pruning ? I'm the San Bernardino county growing some avocado trees myself and that iv organics works good for that burn , don't hesitate on it , never too late to apply it
