[@suehoerauf1252]

My grandparents had avacado trees in San Diego. She would pick lots of fruit, wrap them in newspaper or tissue paper and stack them in lug boxes and stack them in a very dark closet in her house and she would pull out a few at a time and set them in her window to ripen. She had avacados all year. Sue

[@aljsghf]

Sue Hoerauf great people your grandparents

[@lexitnute1306]

50fruits=45/50trees 😏😏😏😏

[@beverlycharles6534]

Tell us more about how she did it? I am considering getting a couple of avocado trees but how to make sure I can save the fruit for eating as needed thru the non bearing times /dormant time / fall-winter. What is a lug box?

[@dianac531]

Your video has been by far the most helpful in explaining all the different steps and stages of the plant cycle. Also it gave many pros and cons of planting this variety. Thank you for your hard work and time.

[@Jackie-O-Lantern]

This is a gem of a video. Love that it is a small tree that won't take over your entire backyard.

[@georginatoland]

I grew up in San Diego and our avocado tree was HUGE. It was a Haas for sure. One year it would produce a small amount of fruit...next year it would produce so much we were giving them away by the paperbag full. I’m talking large paper bags from Food Basket. Nobody in our neighborhood lacked avocados for guacamole. 🥑❤️🥑😋👍🏼

[@tony08sincara]

I live in SD too, hopefully one day I can get my own avocado trees😋🥑

[@MrThedocholiday]

I started my tree with toothpicks from a pit. Now it's 5+ years old, twenty feet tall, loaded with blossoms & recently harvested of about 50 delicious avocados from last year. It can be done. You can do it too. Just water the daylights out of them & protect them from dehydration from various sources.

[@juanluisnieto7540]

I was told that when you grown them from a seed they don't produce fruit and they need to be implanted a branch from another tree that give fruit.?? Please advice.

[@MrThedocholiday]

Juan Luis Nieto I was told the same thing by many so-called experts. They were wrong. It depends on the seed & how fast it grows. I start multiple pits in water cups with toothpicks & the ones that sprout & root quickly are the ones I plant into pots. The fastest growing seedlings are the most likely to produce fruit the fastest. I have a six year old tree grown from a pit that was very fast growing from the beginning. This will be the third year it blossomed & the second year it is producing. Last year I got about 50 large delicious fruit from it. This year it has ten times the number of fruit growing on it. This fall I should get somewhere between 100 & 300 delicious large avocados on a six year old tree grown from a pit. I think the biggest challenge is keeping them from getting dehydrated when they are young. You need to keep them out of direct sunlight & wind for long periods of time until they are old enough to endure it & keep them well watered in porous soil.

[@williamsandbothe5555]

[@teamdicky91]

***** Hello Duster Dan, May I ask what climate you live in? I live in Southern Ca. Riverside. Also, what kind of avocado did you use. Thanks.

[@MrThedocholiday]

teamdicky91 Riverside is perfect for avocados, but they will need a little more water than they would in the tropics or down near San Diego because Riverside is dryer & hotter. I've been using what I believe to be a native fruit that resembles a Pinkerton. Just remember if there's two things I would advise, 1. There is no such thing as over watering avocado trees in a desert like Riverside. 2. You can grow quality fruit bearing trees from a pit if you select fast growing seedlings & water them well. I'm convinced the reason why so many have issues growing good fruit bearing trees from a pit is because they under water them & they don't throw away the slow growing seedling & move on until they find fast growing seedlings. If a pit is not showing signs of enthusiasm, throw it away & start new ones until you find the fast growers. Then, water them well & get-em in the ground quickly after they root. Keep them in the shade until about 1 year old & keep them watered well. Riverside has the perfect soil for this.

[@marialuisa5302]

I went to an avocado festival 2 years ago and now I have a beautiful tree from a mega avocado, seed was big as my palm, it’s about 2 1/2 feet tall now. Toothpicks and water is all you need plus TLC 😉 Fruit or no fruit I’m just stoked that I have a beautiful tree.

[@Selfsufficientme]

You make growing avocados look so easy! Unfortunately, where I live we have heavy soil and certain diseases which make it very difficult to grow this beautiful fruit but it doesn't stop me from trying LOL Thanks for the interesting video :)

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Self Sufficient Me Thanks! Yes its a bit difficult to grow avocados in some zones and some soil types. But nice to know that you are trying. Good luck! You have very nice videos in your channel!

[@rebeccaketner816]

Try the dwarf Murtz variety; can be grown in a container or raised bed.

[@Fjsbdjdh]

Hi Mark from @selfsufficientme Water quality alone has a huge impact on avocados. Our water, even straight from the tap, is not good enough for them. The require low EC (salts) and low chloride content. Hopefully mixing 5% charcoal into the growing media makes a difference, otherwise I’ll need filtered or rain water just for it.

[@chinatownboy7482]

[@rsrawat1947]

Interesting. I am at Dehradun in North India. I brought several seeds from Assam and grew them into trees that started fruiting after 8 years. I believe it is Fuerte, 300 to 500 gms. Flowers in Dec and ready by end Jul but best tasting after rains subside in end August. Surprisingly, one tree is flowering twice a year, in Sep n Dec for the last 2 years. Am introducing Booth and Hass, though from seed. Hope to procure grafted Hass this season.

I wish i could get a cutting from you. I have small avocado plants that i would love to graft to a GEM. Thanks for taking the time to share. Don't stop posting videos.

[@barkingbunny4689]

Thanks for your time helping us choose a type of avacados. I watched this video a very long time again, and have been searching for it since we are finally starting our homestead. I had to find out what kind of avacados you were growing, thanks a lot bunch!

[@rosmianto]

I love avocado! My favorite recipe is guacamole. 💕

[@zoniaannebernardo8741]

Beautiful and easy to understand and follow. I prefer the GEM avocado because it short and bears fruit that can be harvested 6-7 months old. They turn burgundy and ready to eat in time. Besides, the seed is smaller than others that are big and eat up the space for its flesh. Thank you very much.

[@yochanatav4884]

Nice video, thanks for the advice; maybe i'll buy a grafted tree at some point. I've had some Florida avocado seeds already sprouting inside the fruit. I love that kind of life force. I planted one or two like that and they grow so fast and willingly - I like to see what happens. There is one that I started from a sprouting seed less than two years ago, which is already bigger than a variety I bought almost three years ago. I'm very curious how the fruit will come out. I've grafted some lemon trees, but I have half a dozen avos in my yard that grew from composted seeds! Too fun. I also have a mango growing from a seed which dropped from the mother tree.

[@salvadordominguez5925]

I am a commercial Avocado grower with over 7000 GEM trees in southern California. I agree with pretty much everything you say on your video, except for one thing. You should not harvest GEM avocados until they have sufficient oil content. This we find, in Southern California, happens by late February. This will give you the best quality fruit. Also the brown bruise shown on the young fruit is caused by sunburn, something rare on a GEM as they set their fruit inside the canopy for the most part..

[@kingsgrovebiz3968]

I love your video and especially that you produce fruit and vegetation with the lesson you give and therefore teach there can be trust to know what your talking about keep the videos coming I love watching them.

[@millieatcentralcagarden9764]

Great Video! You're so informative on your techniques and it shows by seeing how beautiful your tree and avocado fruit looks. I planted my avocado in a wine barrel to control the growth. It's doing fairly good however I need to fertilize it more such as what you showed on the video. Happy gardening!

[@CaliforniaGardening]

amie ashton Thank you, nice to know you liked the video!

[@kristyniederkorn1105]

When the Avocado tree drops its leaves......leave them at the base of the tree and do not move or rake them away. The Avocado tree has many, many sub surface roots which depend on those fallen leaves for shade and moisture. Our property has 5 large Hass avocado trees and thrive due to leaving those leaves around its bases (trunk). You may, also, spray paint (water based white paint) your trees (and its trunk) to reflect the sun rays which harm the green limbs of your Avocado trees which should stay green and NOT turn brown from too much sun exposure. Nice video!

[@kay-cz5hs]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@stettan1754]

This is such a great video! I am definitely getting a Gem avocado plant when I can. I like the fact that it's a dwarf plant.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

[@KINGMADDROX]

+California Gardening bro if the seed takes 15 years to produce then how do the people that sell the parent do wait 15 years

[@CaliforniaGardening]

+josh rojas Good question! The people that sell trees use a rootstock (base tree) and then use a graft (which is a branch or bud from a mature tree) which then produces fruit. A lot of nurseries grow root stocks just for this purpose. They are not the real fruit tree but in the same family. Another example is that orange trees and lime trees are grafted on to citron (a citrus base plant) rootstock. A lime seed takes several years but the grafted tree bears fruits immediately. That is why in nurseries/garden stores you see small plants in pots but still bearing fruit. Hope that explains it!

[@KINGMADDROX]

California Gardening thanks thats crazy how nature is so diverse . and all providing

[@shanghaimuts]

+California Gardening That makes a whole of sense. Thank you for that. I have a double peach that has now died unfortunately. I've checked the two separate stems and it's dry right through. I'm thinking of cutting it way back to the rootstock and rather than getting rid of the whole tree, I will graft one of our favourites here, a Golden Queen on to this rootstock. I know the rootstock isn't dead as it has lots of shoots coming growing from it.

[@rich2376]

I've watching videos on how to increase yield from my dwarf avocado tree. We've had it about seven years but typically only get about 7 or 8 fruit that grow to maturity. In April we get a lot of fruit buds, but most end up on the ground. Was wondering what I might do to see that those buds that end up on the ground remain on the tree to maturity. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

ellepwnzstevedaily Absolutely doable in a large container. Dwarf trees do grow well in containers. However you would need to choose a large one - like a half whiskey barrel or one of the larger ones. If you have a Costco near your place, they sell the large containers for quite cheap. Hope that helps!

This one is very sweat. I took one of the seeds and grow another one.The third one was a different type of avocado that a friend gave me to see if I like it so I could plant the seeds and I loved it because this one is buttery. In July they will be 1 years old but they are pretty big. I keep cutting them so they can through side shoot. I grow them in compost and from one seed, they gave 2 plants.

[@MrThedocholiday]

Yes, sometimes pit grown trees take a while to bear & the fruit may not be very good, but not all seeds or trees are the same. I have a five year old pit grown Avocado tree that is almost twenty feet tall, producing excellent fruit & loaded with thousands of blossoms. The very first year that it produced (2014) I got about fifty delicious fruit off the tree & it was only five years old at the time of that first crop. This spring it will be six years old & working on it's second crop ever. I have another healthy grafted tree purchased from a nursery that could never keep up with my pit grown tree. The pit grown tree is thirty times the size of the nursery bought tree & has thousands more blossoms on it. Yet the pit grown tree is only three years older than the nursery bought tree. Besides that I really liked your video & it was very informative. Beautiful tree by the way.

My friend bought a Hass from Home Depot 2 years ago. It was two and a half feet tall.It is around 3 feet tall now. This March or early April it had blossoms. Four Avacados formed on the tree. The old leaves fell off and the tip of branches produced new leàve but smaller than originall leaves. The three Avacados are growing. Of the four Avacados one disappeared. The problem is. The leaves are starting to be covered with small brown dots on top of leaves. Bottom of leave normal and no holes. Some An insecticide that covers everything was used but did nothing. I also noticed the trunk was turning light green. I fear the tree is dying. They also have some tress e years old grow from seed that are lush and robust. They were the first to get these brown spots. Does anyone know what is causing the brown dots that cover the whole leaf. I have never seen this before. The plants from seeds still have dark green trunks and trees are growing with new leaves. It is the Hass from the Nursery that looks like it is dieing. they all have been given Dr. earth Organic fertilizer and organic leaf spray in the past.. would appreciate any information to why this is happening and what to do. The trees were so healthy until recently. I can't believe this happened ☹️
