In Miami I bought the best avocado and I planted the seed in my yard. The 3 year I got 5 delicious huge, butter like avocados. I never fertilized it and the only water was from the rain. The following year I got so many avocados I had to put a sign "FREE AVOCADOS" 😂 the whole neighborhood waited for them every year around October, November.

But the way did his grafting is,he would take a branch from where the fruit was hanging to do is grafting and in a few months time the starts bearing and he would put a banana leaf on the ground so mango could be protected since the tree small to hold the weight of the mango, it would start bearing and most times he had remove the flowers, i gave you a like and subscribe, you deserve it my boy!!

She mailed the seeds to me in San Diego, Ca. I planted the seeds just as you did in this video. Seven months later the two seeds began growing little trees! I’m going to let the larger seed tree grow without grafting. The smaller seed tree will get grafted from a mature Nabal avocado tree.

Awesome. Great video man! I've only been able to grow 1 avocado seed ever in my life, It was an avocado my ex-sister-in-law gave me off the streets of Ventura, Ca. Tasted amazing. I ate half of it. Left the other half in the refrigerator, 2months later it had a super healthy root, I planted it in soil. It was an amazing tree starting. My dogs liked it better than me I guess and ate it, 4 times until it finally died, ahahaha. Tried over and over again different ways to germinate another seed several times and nothing. This year, I told my wife, we eat so many avocados I gotta try again. I currently have 8 healthy looking sprouted seeds! AaaaWOOooooo. YES! I want to grow them mainly to have trees on my property here in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. This video is way better than a different one I tried their technique to move my seed from ziploc and paper towel to a cup and it started healthy but now it just looks like the roots are a little branch and seem to be turning into a stick with no shoot growth. So I'm super stoked to follow your potting techniques with the other 8 seeds that are germinating nicely in my ziplock bags...If I do this for a year I will all kinds of trees for shade growing on my property and eventually some fruit when I retire, hahaha.. Thanks for your awesome video man. I appreciate you for this! Stoked!

Ho Ho Ho! Meeeeery Christmas! to you, your family and your workers! How do you manage to always bring a smile to my face, especially when talking about avocados! TOp notch quality and productivity and very educational. I still learned a few thing from the video. I fertilized my main avocado with liquid 5-5-7 fertilizer, but it's now droopy. I watered it on the sides, but worryingly, it didn't do much. I have a bad feeling that the root system has compromised. I will water it again tomorrow, I think I didn't water it enough. Mango update: I can finally (or already, becaue it didn't take long) see the stem coming out. The seed is dark green. However, I'm seeing ome fungus gnats. And there is a bit of mold and foul smell. But the viability is higher. Anyways, today is my last day of school before the holidays. WOOHOO! I don't wanna be late, so I might comment later. Byeee

Thank you so much. I always wondered why the seedlings grow into a skinny stick, then die. You’ve helped me a lot.

Have you ever asked google for the list of GMO crops? the answer should make you question everything you think you know about agriculture

I love how a fruit that should’ve gone extinct with the last megafauna has been kept alive by the fact that humans thought the fruit was tasty too.
