Thanks much for sharing this video with us. I read on the internet that fruit trees grown from seeds do not yield fruits until it's 10-15 years old. Also, the fruit is not the same as the parent tree. Your video has proven the 10-15 years statement is wrong. Could you please tell us if the fruit from your tree tastes the same as the parent tree?

This tree actually produced more than 330 fruit from the blossoms you see in this video. Remember, it was grown from a pit & is only five or six years old in this vid.

When avocado tree leaves brown at the tips and the edges, it is usually associated with an accumulation of salts in the soil. Dry conditions can also play a role. Dry conditions contributing to avocado leaf burn can include inadequate irrigation Dry Soils become alkaline for a variety of reasons. Avocados are very sensitive to alkaline soils, with pH greater than 7. Their uptake of iron and zinc can be terribly compromised with high soil pH and they will suffer.

You must have other avocado trees for that for pollination to take place. You must plant avocado trees on raised mounds the mound should be at least 3 metres in circumference and at least 400 millimetres high. You must build a shade cloth enclosure UV rating 30% and use sugar cane or pea straw mulch. The error you made was to grow that without a mound. You don't need lots of water just moderate watering once a week, use plenty of mulch or wood chips ( not pine)

Hmm “ avocado tree is not an evergreen”, now that’s a first.

In Trinidad in the Caribbean. Just put the in the ground. No worries after. Water plenty in dry season and that it. Your issues is Climate.

Your avocados need at least 6 inches of mulch under your avocado tree. In the orchards they have lots of mulch under the avacado trees. My Hass avocado tree is over 45 year old and gives me thousands of avacados every year.

You need keep the leaves under the tree to keep moisture on the tree . The trees will use nutrients from the leaves.

Fuerte’s are self pollenating.

So in Florida with a Haas and bacon tree, in the summer time I should be watering everyday? Lady at the nursery told me not to water very much. 15 mins, 2 days a week, nothing more. Much to the contrary here. I'm lost.

I am having trouble with my Lamb Hass tree. We are having Santa Ana weather conditions for the past week or so. The fruit are shrinking and some are looking like they are drying out.

Awesome videos and information Dan thank you for sharing! I live in South Louisiana and I’ve managed to kill six of eight expensive grafted trees! I’ve gone through hundreds of saplings started from seed! They start of great get to about fifteen inches lose leaves and die! Frustrated but I am determined to eat avocados grown in my backyard! Thanks again for your time and expertise!🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. I learned alot from your video and im looking forward to possible success with my sapling. South east Az..globe...

Thanks for share the beautiful tree and your experience, sir 🌷👍

NIce job with the avocado trees! Very helpful video. My avocado trees have been hurting, now I know why, thank you!

I never thought I would come across anybody who was as nutty as me about growing avocado trees. They are a huge challenge to get them started as you well know. The trees are pretty good about telling you when they are not happy or when they are real happy. I also live in SoCal and I found that I have to shade the young ones from the sun during the hottest part of the day.I do this by planting them on the North side of a larger tree. Also, I found that I could reduce watering if I help retain the water by having potting soil or water retaining type mulch around the base of the tree. These trees are fun to grow but require as much attention as having a dog or a horse !

Duster Dan I watched this a few yrs ago after having difficulty keeping my 15 gal tree looking and growing well after I planted it. I started watering pretty heavy and my tree now is over 12-15 ft tall with plenty of tasty fruit. Water and mulch so key especially during the winter Santa Ana winds the first winds remind me its time to pick avocados. Cheers

This is good information. To give you a little history on my Avocado startup this Year.

I love your open faith

Awesomeness! Thank You!
