Having lived in Miami for over 80% of my life, I had never eaten Haas Avocado until I moved to North Florida. The avocado we bought in the stores and the ones we harvest from the back yard were always Simmonds, Doni, Choquette and the Hialeah Red. However, the Haas is what I see here in the stores. Though I prefer those avocados I get in South Florida, the Haas is not very far off in quality.

Hass actually bought the property from my relative Mr. Rideout. Rideout created the Hass and left his trees on the property when he sold it. Hass is full of it. The part about his daughters finding the tree is true. He was going to cut them down until his daughter said she liked the fruit.

In Turkey, Istanbul, I am buying Hass avocado between 1 and 1.5 USD from markets. For us it is expensive, because 1 kg banana is 2 USD, only one avocado and we dont know how to eat it. We are learning. I think farmers want to grow avocado because of its price. I saw another type of Avocados first time in your video and understood that avocados have names because there are more than one avocado type. Also your style is interesting, Thanks.

Really enjoyed your presentation. I am a commercial Avocado grower in California. my new favorite cultivar is a GEM it has outstanding flavor, a peal a bit thicker than Hass, the tree has an upright structure so I am able to plant many more per acre and they are prolific producers. I must confess I have never eaten a Florida Avocado. One small correction on your comment, we are consuming a bit less than 3 Billion ponds in the US at the moment but lets hope we get to your number soon.

The fruit is super delicious, I don't know what cultivar it is but it's bigger than the hass and a bit smaller than the Florida varieties.

This might be your best vid. So you're saying the first one to graft must have had a nice pair of avocados. What is the advantage of patenting an avocado when farmers just graft them?
@SleepyLizard
@SleepyLizard 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the compliment. The advantage to patenting is to incentivize people to grow new varieties but that takes investment. Plant patents give a person a way to monetize years of investment when they finally hit the jackpot with their new variety. It's risk reward, grow the same old thing everybody is used to or come up with a new variety that takes the market by storm. Maybe a seedless one for example.

Hello, I could really use your help! Recently my wife lost both her grandparents. They had a beautiful avacado tree in the back yard that my wife had great memories growing up and spending time under it with them. Unfortunately, the property is being sold. I managed to take about eight clippings a month ago and trimmed them down to about 8” and used a rooting powder to help stimulate root growth. All but one of them is starting to sprout tiny leaves. Is there any advice you could give me to try to ensure they survive. My wife and I would love be able to share similar memories with our granddaughters. Thank you in advance for any advice you might be able to provide me

I don't know anything about it. You mentioned it when we spoke on the phone and I looked it up but most of the information requires a PHD to understand, ha! Some of the organic growers near us introduce organisms they believe to be symbiotic to enhance yield or ward off pests. From the one paper I was able to understand it sounds like the fungus amplifies nutrition uptake by allowing the host tree to kind of share it's "root" system. I'm gonna ask around and see what other people know about it.

thanks for educating me on avocados , I found your channel about a year ago. Turns out we are both in Florida. I'm in central Florida. I had some mango tree's the cold killed them a few years back. But I'm trying them again, My problem is the seeds have black mold on them when I break them open. I germinate them in a damp paper towel and that makes it worse. And you know how humid it is in out great State of Florida. I started Avocados and Mango's at the same time, My avocados are almost a foot tall already. but my Mango's didn't make it from the black mold. I'm starting them again but I need some help controlling the mold. My wife loves them both. I have some good tasting Avocado's seeds but I would like to try some of your's as well the large one. Do you have or can you make a video on fertilizing both. I know from your past video's you like 666. Thanks for the video's

Jerry, try planting the mango seeds directly in potting soil. Don't bother germinating. Leave the husk on and everything. When they start to grow give the a little mist of copper fungicide every 2-3 weeks to keep the fungus at bay. I'm sorry to hear about the ones that died in the cold. I hate losing trees, lost a lot to Irma 3 years ago. Thank you for the fertilizer vid idea. I've got a few vids i'm working on right now but I'll add that to my list. If you want to try some of our avocados go to www.guacfarm.com around the end of October/early November and we'll have some for sale. Thanks for reaching out.

Informative and hilarious as always! Quick question for you - I just moved to sunny California and bought myself a couple avocado trees (Reed and Sir Prize). They're both about waist high, and the Reed is starting to flower. I've heard that you should remove flowers the first year so the tree can focus on root development, leading to larger harvests in the future years. What's your take on this?
@SleepyLizard
@SleepyLizard 3 жыл бұрын
Dan, You are correct. We cut the flowers in the early years so the tree can focus the energy on growth instead of fruit production. It's not necessary but if you cut the flowers you'll have a bigger more productive tree by years 5 and 6.
