A lot of old stories and true tales come out of old San Juan Capistrano. My favorites to imagine is when farmer's from all parts of Spain, other Europeans and Californios, would ring hugh bells on their ranches loud enough for ranchers miles away to come for a celebration, a wedding, a christening, or barbecues called Fandangos. Old San Juan used to be known as the valley of peace. Many locals never wanted the train depot to stop in town because it would surely end their special peace. While World Wars were going on, this haven of land from the hills of the Ortegas (where old houses were moved down the mountains to populate the downtown Los Rios district), through what the Spanish called the Arroyo all the way to Capo Beach, was loved by all. Starting with the Natives Americans, the Spanish missionaries, the Basques, Germans, and all the other nationalities who felt the happiness there. Even Captain Dana traded goods with the town. Bringing the red adobe bricks the Natives Americans made back to Boston. Using them for ballast on his ships through stormy seas. These same adobe bricks now line some of the old streets of Boston. San Juan Capistrano still has a very special feel about it❤. And thanks to the man who made this video who did not to give out the exact location of that avocado tree that is almost as big as a tiny redwood👍!

Thanks for contributing all of this historical context. At one point while filming, a bunch of swallows started circling me and the tree. I edited that out, but I probably should have left it in because of the connection between swallows and SJC.

Don’t they need a female and a male tree to reproduce. The bees etc… pollinate them like mangos and seagrape and so many more

Fascinating, thanks for sharing. Most avocados grown worldwide today are Hass variety, which started from a single "volunteer" tree in the yard of Rudolf Hass in La Habra Heights, California. Mr. Hass propagated that tree, bought and planted 40 acres in Fallbrook, California. This was successful, in large part why Fallbrook today has rightful claim to be "The Avocado Capital of the World."

I grew up in an orange tree farm grove because my grandpa was in charge of it and the home my grandparents lived in was in the middle of the grove. I had the best childhood memories there. I sure miss it. It got torn down to build new homes….broke my grandpas heart. Orange trees will forever hold a special place in my 🧡🍊.

I lived in SJC off Ortega Hwy and Toyon, up in the hills for 14 years. I only moved away 2 years ago and really miss it, I’ll be back! We could see huge orange groves from the high points in our back yard (a 4 acre property)… so I am wondering if this cool avocado tree is near there. A beautiful and unique place to live, sort of rural with peak a boo ocean views 🍊🥑💕

I think it's a public service and solid investment in the future to increase the number of these feral avocado trees... Life goals. A feral avocado roaming around every neighborhood... Maybe a feral mango and peach too... I want to be able to walk/drive to a feral tree and get some fruit, why is this not a thing? What are we doing with ourselves as an intelligent species?? Feral tree planting parties need to be a thing.

I'd love to get a seed from it, or a start. Is that possible? I brought a cherry tree back to life in the yard of a house I'm renting. It took a couple of years but it produces a lot of fruit every year now. The owner had cut it back to a stump, and I kept giving it water and plant food, and of course it gets lots of sun on the California coast. But I would love to plant an avocado!

Didn't know avocado trees could grow in Salinas. I never saw one there. In Santa Cruz, I've seen some citrus trees, but they get black mold on tge leaves. It's too damp on the coast to grow them properly.

Hey there, love your videos, I just moved to a new place and planted 30 varieties of Avocado. I would love for you to check out my first video and tell me what you think and give me any advice. And if you actually know what flower type and heritage Pancho is, I would certainly appreciate it. The only other varieties I'm considering getting are Daily 11 and maybe Rica, Palo d'Oro, Puebla, Greengold, or Santa Clara Gold.

Hi Greg, Thanks for the profile of the Holiday Avo. video. I planted two Reed about forty feet apart. I was surprised two of my "Reed" bloom in different time. One bloom real early, the other Reed bloom late. By summer I realize I have two different avocado trees. It was mislabelled by the nursery. Looking at your video I think I have a Holiday and a Reed. The tree that bloom late is a Reed, the fruit is round. The other one bloom early, I think is a Holiday. It has all the characteristic of a Holiday Avo tree. Very weeping, it needs to be staked, the fruit shape like a pear, the leaves shape like a tacos. Now I need to wait till next year for the fruit to mature.😄Zone 8b elevation 2000 West Paso Robles Ca.

Wow, there are all kinds of finds in the OC, people don't realize that the majority of it was a willow thicket, with some sycamores and live oak. Avocados are beautiful trees, but I can't stand their flavor or texture. I'd go for the oranges though....

Avo's are easy to get started from the nut inside- super easy. They look like normal trees, grow fast - you can make a hobby of sprouting and planting them ...... for future generations.
