Huh, guess God knew what he was talking about with the whole "don't eat the first fruit" thing

Hey Aussie, you're spot on! Our father grew an avocado tree from a seed, and the avocado tree gave delicious fruit, and continues to do so, 30 years later. We too live in Australia.

It's kinda like foreshine with distilling moonshine, never drink the first batch cuz it's pure alcohol. In fact you'll go blind if you drink more than a shot of foreshine, you'll die from liver failure when you drink more than a cup.

@@SouthernGIGI Well, Aussie, Tee Bee chee, and I have had avocados from a tree grown from a seed. As I have stated, my father grew an avocado tree from a seed 30 years ago, and to date, our families, and friends have all enjoyed the delicious avocados from that same tree.

Do you recall how long before they produced fruit?

@@SleepyLizard It had to be around 13 years. I was about 6 when I helped him set up a new seed. And, I was a 19 when we first tried the avocados from that tree. He may have had the fruit before that, but he proudly presented it at that time.

@@PakuZero Bruh, you are taking things too literally.

that's awesome

So from my experiences as an old man this is mostly BS. I've planted over 100 apple trees from seeds harvested from grocery store apples and they all produced good apples of the same type and same or better quality - usually better because they ripened on the tree instead of in a truck somewhere. Also I've grown up 8 avocado trees from different store harvested seeds and they all produced good avocados - though I know not the original hybrid names (they all looked like the "Hoss" he shows). Avocado trees need a ton of water and direct sunlight - if you give it to them you get nice large meaty fruit that tastes exactly like an avocado! The Apple trees I grew were the same deal but in those cases I know the species and got what I planted - "Golden Delicious", "Orange Pippin", "Granny Smith" (best for pies!!!) etc. But most need a few hundred hours of frost time, buttloads of water and partial-day direct sun. It sounds to me like this guy is growing out of their requirements, getting bad results and blaming it on the seeds - or maybe he's trying to promote *his brand* or something?? Keep in mind for example that the story of Johnny Appleseed is not a myth! ;) Further in his video some things just don't make sense... One for example is that you can't patent a seed! Plant varieties produced sexually (i.e., by seed) cannot be protected under patent law - this is common knowledge, or should be.

Here in San Antonio the supermarket HEB always has three sizes of avocados.

Basically, you're saying that avocados are Transphobic....

Your comment does not make sense. Most species need 2 to reproduce. What does a trans have to do anything with this? If you were trying to be funny then you failed because the punchline makes no sense.

All you have to do is find the tree you got that fruit from and graft it. But that will be hard to get.

So the solution is to grow two avocado seeds?

@@PedroMartinez-sp1cb Unfortunately yes, you need 2 avocado trees, unless you have a nearby neighbor growing one as well.

All she has to do is wait until the end of the infomercial and he tells you that he sells the graft parts to fix that tree of hers :3 or just stop the video short... She will never know...

Please I want to ask you about growing a hass avocado tree from seed how many years it takes to give fruits for the first time ?plz answer me I'm waiting for your answer plz

Nope - this is nonsense. Johnny Appleseed planted cider apples because hardcider and applejack killed cholera and other waterborne pathogens, sweet apples are horribly inbred evolutionary cul d sacs, and the global banana supply, among others, is failing because of monoculture propaganda like this.

@@chadstratton4926 im new, can you provide a video that better explains?

@@MR-nl8xr I will have to make that video for it to exist. Until then- the apples that just rot are the descendents of what are called Cider apples. Those unpleasant tastes are caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Those are delicate structures- if you squeeze the juice and ferment with yeast (Science: Zymurgy) the VOCs collapse into better tasting flavors alongside the Elixer we call Alcohol in Hard Cider- which can be concentrated by freezing, evaporation, or distilled into Brandy/Applejack. Prior to Chlorine water treatment and germ theory, human settlements either had some way to create alcohol to purify water by killing cholera, or everyone died in pools of watery diarrhea. Johnny Appleseed planted cider apples in the wilderness, because they are hardy enough to survive on their own,, and were ready with fruit when pioneers built their first cider house. THAT is the story of those apple trees we might wrongly call useless.

When you learned from the wrong person and got bad info. Those apples are simply made to be cooked and not ate raw. Apples seed grow the same apples, with some variations like all childs do.

Yes, but those are probably from ancestral native trees that were never good-tasting varieties. The legend goes that Johnny Appleseed went around the country selling seeds because until he brought them over from the OLD World, the North American varieties were only good for making hard cider and vinegar. But guess where those OLD World (European) seeds came from? And why did they grow true to seed? In nature random cross-pollination DOES create as many varieties as there are random genes to mix--similar to random mating every wild bird you saw. Some offspring would survive and some would look like no local bird you'd ever seen. But if you took those 2 again and again, you'd narrow down the stray awful ones and the winning combination could keep mating. That's how Rottweilers and Chihuahuas STAY those breeds, generation upon generation. Sadly, it's why each breed has health issues specific to the breed-- from too little genetic variety. This sales pitch was interesting and what he said made sense--but he is talking about the math if you let nature take its course and pairings were random. In tropical areas, where the density of such trees allows wind to cross-pollinate easily, and with all those native weed varieties around, you might get Wintergreen-peanut butter combos. Not so sure when you have 2 grafted Hass avocado trees. The DNA in flowers doesn't some from the root stock; it comes from the grafted branches, doesn't it? Otherwise you'd have to taste each avocado to know which were from the nasty-tasting root stock, and which were the yummy branches.

a wise woman

Smart lady!!

BINGO

fuck, i work for the remnants of safeway (the grocery store i work at was once a safeway) in the produce department, i probably handle your avocados all day (wink wink). nah, seriously, your mom's friend was a fucking genius if your story is true, and even if it is not it is a true story of how you make an orchard. grow a bunch of saplings and graft good fruit onto it. you can't just plant a seed when it comes to trees. and the longer a plant lives the least likely that a seed will produce something you want to eat.

@@kght222 Two facts about produce that wowed me was 1) all Thompson seedless grapes come from a cutting of one original plant so all the Thompson seedless grapes on earth come that one plant. 2) bananas all come from one plant and all the cuttings from that plant live 11 years, That particular banana plant dies on earth at the same time. Botanists always have to create the next replacement banana every 11 years. So the bananas you remember from childhood are not the bananas of today and today's bananas will be gone in the near future replaced by a new strain (that hopefully tastes similar or better)

@@CkTubeFu He is estimated to have planted around 100K seedlings, and not one became a variety anybody thought was worth naming

Crabapples are a very diverse group. All the way from tiny, bitter flowering crabs to small, spicy lunchbox sized dessert apples. Many wild species are also considered to be crabapples.

He’s just wrong on the apple thing. First of all, you don’t plant apple seeds to grow crabapple trees. 🙄 You buy crabapple trees and secondly, you plant them on purpose. Some are even edible. I used to eat them off my aunt’s tree. They make fantastic jelly! And they can be made into wine or liqueur... Also, we have apple trees pop up on our property “wild seeded” by the birds if you know what I mean. They don’t grow crabapples - they are regular edible apples (hard to tell if the same as the apple they came from) that we eat and make sauce from. So I personally can’t trust anything he says here.

@@CkTubeFu No

And yeah, i always save it until the end of the vid.

It also highlights the mistruths he’s using to make money.

@Raphael S Well, for starters, crab apples are a different genus that the kind you normally buy at a store. There’s an inkling of truth to the “true to seed” idea, but it’s being wildly misrepresented. Look up crab apples for yourself. I’m not making it up.

@@CaptainTae Yes and no. Virtually all apples you buy in the store are grafts from a one-off genetic lottery winner. Many of them are crab apple hybrids (the Granny Smith, for example, grew from a seed from inside a crab apple, and all it's descendants are grafts thereafter). In fact, many of the apple trees for zone 3 (where I live) can have either a regular apple or crab apple as their cross pollinator. But they would never grow true to seed. I have 2 Norkents and they are both grafts onto hardy rootstock.

@@jolenethiessen357 That’s partly true. That’s how farming works. But you’re choosing a specific case where it’s being misrepresented.

Still common here in germany. My uncle has a bunch of then in his yard and as a kid i always wonderd what they were good for. Then when the time came and the apples started dropping we would collect them all and bring them to the local "juicer" and fermenter to get great apple extract and wine.

@@newdarkneoss3985 it’s not nearly as common in the US as it use to be but there is still a cider Industry and it is growing. We use drink a lot of cider before prohibition. They even went around cutting down apple trees to prevent the making of hard cider. Germany is famous for there Apfelwein and I have had some imported from Germany. It’s more like a wine then American cider which is oddly beer like. I really liked the Apfelwein.

Attentionally??

@@KingNexusMOCs this is what I came here for 😭

The bad thing about alcohol made from apples is contain lots if pectin. Pectin turns into methanol, methanol makes you go blind.

Mr Yeti, good question. I say show here the vid and let it fall on my shoulders. There's no harm letting it grow to see what you get if you've got that kind of time...if the fruit is bad I can always show you how to graft another variety onto the mature tree.

Just buy a tree and have 2. Then compare.

Save that bomb for when you're losing an argument.

Well, technically, you don't know. No pretending is necessary.

Just buy her a graft cutting as a present!

i know how to cast a Ferrari engine block for the same reason

But the more common reason is that they COULD produce reliable fruit, but the rootstock plant has characteristics like disease or drought tolerance and sturdy branches that help the fruit tree become established sooner and survive longer...

Some fruit trees are true to kind like peaches and pears. Some are not like apples dates and avocados.

That's great. Keep it going. I have a vid on how to grow one as a house plant somewhere on my channel.

How old is it? Don’t give up on its ability to produce edible fruit just because it’s not grafted. The odds are way better than 1 in 10,000 that it will produce something at least decent to good. Give it time. That said, if you want to increase your odds greatly, graft or buy a grafted seedling. I think that’s the point of this video. The 1 in 10,000 only applies to exceptionally great fruit (the Reese’s peanut butter cup avocado). I don’t think the video makes this clear. There are also outside factors, such as your local population of avocado trees and if there are sufficient bees to pollinate them.

The vast majority of conspiracies in the world have far more simpler and more mundane explanations.

@@edmundooliver7584 Avocadoes in general came from Mexico, but cultivar type Hass Avocadoes (the cultivar type of avocadoes that the vast majority of people today eat) came from California when it was first bred by Rudolph Hass. People didn't breed Hass Avocadoes until Rudolph Hass first started doing so in the 1900s. As the video states, cross pollinating avocadoes and growing them from seed creates many tens of thousands of different variations and different flavors, so it was a lot of luck that Hass and his associates ended up with this type. That's why Mexico does not have a monopoly on Hass avocadoes and it makes no sense to suggest Mexican cartels control its production.

Have you seen any of the comments of the folks who disagree with me? It's strange how strongly folks dig in to opposition of this biological fact. Thank you for your comment.

@@SleepyLizard When you said Skittles, my mouth instantly watered. 😁💦 I think your real issue here is that your bees are insubordinate. They do as they please. If it were my farm it'd be a tight ship. They need to find the stud good tasting tree and then go find the milf hot tasting tree and disregard pollinating the lower level people.... err trees. Have you got videos on grafting? There's a park near me that has trees and plants that are bent into shapes, letters, knots, braids, etc, and I'd like to learn how to do some of that.

But they can just graft a better tasting apple on the tree, where is the problem, I bought a house with 9 crab apple trees, i grafted all kinds of different types of apples on them, and now I enjoy the taste of beautiful apples every summer and fall. Sorry for bad English I don't speak Englis.

@@aleksa280 yep, you're exactly right. I agree with you.

@@SleepyLizard A few key points that you don't really address are: 1. There's a chance that those "yucky" trees could produce the most delicious apple variety yet known to man ... if combined with the pollen from the right tree. 2. Unless people in the past let "random" combinations happen, the delicious varieties we know today would never have happened. 3. Unless the people in the past were brave or hungry enough to taste the 80,000 "yucky" fruits, we would never have found the "1 in 80,000" special fruit. 4. If we graft every single avocado tree to one of these 3 "good" varieties, then we will deprive ourselves of nature's genius for invention, and may miss out on even better future varieties. 5. The "terrible" apples in Scranton being full of worms suggests that they were actually excellent apples... for the right customer. Nobody was spraying pesticide or putting nets on crab apple trees, so the comparison is not ... wait for it ... apples to apples.

thanks Michael!

Brakpan! Lekker bru!

Indeed

I watch your channel! Love Enzo! Diego can be a pest. Don't steal his whipped cream!

What are you doing here😯 I love your videos btw they are just so amazing to just have on and watch when im feeling down and just doing something, so please continue!

thank you Frank

thank you Alennis

I'm the same as you. I recently started watching a channel called "numberphile" which is all about math and for some weird reason I love it! Just like you I came across it via recommended vids.

That is why generational wealth accumulation and inherent to the next generation is illogical and wrong.. Wealth accumulated during a lifetime as that of billionaire should forwarded back to the government not your kids..

@@klytouch5285 I strongly disagree with you. You don't get to tell other people how to allocate their money. If they work hard with the goal to help their next generation good for them. It's not your place to decide their legacy. Very arrogant of you.

So where do the millions of avocados that we eat every week come from of only 1 in 10000 make good avocados?

@@IAmHereForeve they all come from “good avocado” tree cuttings, which are grafted to random avocado seed stalks, to then grow more trees that resemble the parent grafter

Yeah....Hass is named after himself.

@@IAmHereForeve I take it you haven't heard of cutting, which is where you get most of your farmed apple trees

Are you sure about the success rate? One in 10,000?

some trees are really productive...kind of a good problem to have if you like avocados. thanks for your comment.

No way you got avocado's after only a few years. It takes at least 10 years!

I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate your comment.

He means don't bother breeding, only 1 in 10,000 offspring are worth the effort

@@Pretzil43 😂😂😂😂😂

@@Pretzil43 Or did he mean "If you are really lucky, selling your offspring can make you damn rich"?

Or, there’s a 99.99 percent chance that you’re a failure.

So from my experiences as an old man this is mostly BS. I've planted over 100 apple trees from seeds harvested from grocery store apples and they all produced good apples of the same type and same or better quality - usually better because they ripened on the tree instead of in a truck somewhere. Also I've grown up 8 avocado trees from different store harvested seeds and they all produced good avocados - though I know not the original hybrid names (they all looked like the "Hoss" he shows). Avocado trees need a ton of water and direct sunlight - if you give it to them you get nice large meaty fruit that tastes exactly like an avocado! The Apple trees I grew were the same deal but in those cases I know the species and got what I planted - "Golden Delicious", "Orange Pippin", "Granny Smith" (best for pies!!!) etc. But most need a few hundred hours of frost time, buttloads of water and partial-day direct sun. It sounds to me like this guy is growing out of their requirements, getting bad results and blaming it on the seeds - or maybe he's trying to promote *his brand* or something?? Keep in mind for example that the story of Johnny Appleseed is not a myth! ;) Further in his video some things just don't make sense... One for example is that you can't patent a seed! Plant varieties produced sexually (i.e., by seed) cannot be protected under patent law - this is common knowledge, or should be.
