- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- Join our project to make the world a better place by planting avocado trees. I take you step by step through the process of growing a tree from seed all the way to fruit. We start with you eating an avocado and saving the seed and we'll end when you eat your first fruit from the tree.
If you live somewhere that requires indoor growing join us and grow yourself a beautiful house plant.
If you prefer to skip the process and buy a tree you can get one here: www.guacfarm.com
For this episode you need:
1 gallon pot with drainage
a bag of potting soil
a bag of 6-6-6 mix fertilizer
a quart of water
an avocado
I can't wait to grow a tree with you!
This is one of the best videos I've watched in my life! You helped so many people to reduce their anxiety and become better people, like me. You've just reminded me that there's still good people in this world. The world needs more people like you. Watching your videos is a good way to escape the negativity. God bless you, your family, your friends and your workers!
thank you
God, I love you !! Thank you for making me laugh while I'm learning to plant an avocado seed !! I can watch you all day !! Blessings to you and thanks for spreading your positive message to us !!
thank you June, Reading your comment is a great way to get my day started
16:48-17:26 Those words really sunk in me. Almost felt a knot in my throat. Imagine you grew together with your seedling 🌱and set a goal for yourself, by the time the avocado tree starts bearing fruit you can plant it, in the backyard of your first home. You’re not only giving your tree it’s forever laying place, but you’re also giving yourself a forever home 🥺🙏🏻🏡🌱 Wow your videos are more than just educational, they’re inspirational. I just discovered you and already I’m on my third video, I should be asleep, but your videos are giving me life. I can’t believe you have made me view and love earth, to an extent I never would of thought of in such a short period of time.
Wendy, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. We are in a busy period at the farm right now but I'll be doing some more vids in a few weeks.
I binge watched your channel a year ago. A few days ago I bought 2 Gem avocados, mainly for the seeds as I can't find the trees for sale near me. I cut into the fruit but both were inedible. Today I had to rewatch your video to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm almost 60; I hope both seeds will sprout and I can give one away. I know they won't be Gem trees, but if they provide fruit for people and wildlife in years to come, it's all great. Thanks for your wonderful channel.
your comment makes me so happy. thank you!
Tom… I’m not a crazy person 😝 but you are such a beautiful soul! When I’m watching your videos, I get in such a good mood and I really wish you were my neighbor, my dad, my brother… etc. 😂 you’re blessed! Thank you for putting light into this dark and upside down 🌎 God bless you and thanks again for all your knowledge! Btw, my avo trees are doing fantastic!!! 🌳
Ingrid, I'm so glad to hear about your trees. I only make vids when I'm in a good mood 🤣
OK, I want to officially adopt this man and his family. 😅🤣😂 Mindfulness and avocado....
Great avocado growing videos. You should continue these episodes. Nice to watch your videos with the different stories along with planting.
Thank you for the encouragement
Dude. I'm so glad I found this channel. I love this guy! Plus, he's from my home state!
Love this video! You made me laugh and almost made me cry. Thanks for spreading positivity. We all really need it those days and gardening is such a great escape to help you with that reset button.
Natalie, I agree with you...you get it!
Avocados make me happy and so do your videos. Great work.
Thank you Jose. And you just made me happy.
this put the biggest smile on my face. i’m so excited to grow my avocado baby :)
thanks for taking time to let me know. Good luck with your avocado.
Love it...I’m not the only crazy person that talks about my plants like this ;) I have a small, organic (4 year) food forest, and absolutely love being in my yard with my plants! I have been in Florida all my 67 years and have eaten fruit straight off of tree since I was a kid. Have always love avacodos. These days I have several coming up all over my yard because when I bury my kitchen scraps, they come up everywhere! I don’t wear gloves and I usually garden barefooted, because I love to feel and smell the earth!
Erin, I love your comment! Thank you. Two weeks ago I caught myself standing at a mango tree watching a fly hop from flower to flower. totally lost in the moment.
You are impacting the world in a positive way! After I saw this video , I couldn’t stop smiling
You smile all the time. All day long you smile.
I'll have what he's having!
Well he is in Florida.. Drugs are comm.... (I mean) AHHHHEEMMM......it’s the rain and nice weather...
I have started many in my home before to find your channel... now I need to "prune" them all and to find a way to have a greenhouse for them all! They are too many! hahahahaha We have strong winter here... Province of Quebec, Canada.
My grandson and I have enjoyed your video very much. Being Italian and an avid Gardener myself ( both vegetable and flower ) I understand perfectly what you are trying to say. When you plant a fruit tree or a walnut tree or an avocado tree, you are planting for the future generations who hopefully will appreciate and acknowledge the foresight of the planter. The pure pleasure that I get spending time in my garden is something that I’ve tried to teach and pass on to my children and grandchildren. Nothing feels better than getting your hands in that dirt. Although we live in Surrey, British Columbia, and I’m not sure how successful we’ll be growing an avocado tree, I’m going to try very hard. Thank you, it’s wonderful to hear how reconnecting with the earth and nature will help heal a lot of stress-related illnesses of today’s world....... much cheaper than seeing a therapist too!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Gaby, you're exactly the type of person I was hoping would see this.
Once planted outside the plant becomes a part of Earth... I can relate with the potted plant! I need to get back outside!
Christian, that is an excellent analogy. I hand't thought of that. Can I use it in part two of the series?
@@SleepyLizard Of course! That was a great video, I love the anxiety cup...I never thought to flood anxious thoughts out instead of bury them in. Thank you!
Best medicine to relax and feel free.
Thank you Rosa. Do you think you might plant a tree along with us?
@@SleepyLizard Hello, Yes. I have about 8 small avocados called has, lula, fuerte. Love them. Yes, I would like to have the seed of that very large avocado. It seems, every time I transplant an avocado tree it dies on me. Maybe too much or too little. I don't really know why this happens to me. Please help! Please, what is the best fertilizer to use for ground planting? p.s. and when to fertilize again. Thank you.
This video is about life, what an incredible opportunity to work with you. Thank you for the video.
Ace, your words mean a lot to me, thank you. We're gonna try to keep this going all year long.
Flashback 4 years ago I planted a pit now its 15 feet tall. Expecting it to flower this year hopefully.
Zarkk, Keep us posted and let us know if it flowers...good luck!
@@SleepyLizard Sure ! I noticed that avocado need a lot of water for their growth especially in spring not much in winter. For new planters they need to know this . But have well draining soil too
@@zarkkt8952 yep, you got right!
Mine is four years old and only 2 foot tall
Awesome 👍
Like your videos. Great positive message. I started in July with 3 Fuerte pits in water. Now have 30 seedlings and 4 grafted trees (bought at nurseries). Stephen from Cape Town
Stephen, thanks for the compliment, sounds like you're gong to be eating a lot of guacamole in the near future. Keep us posted on your progress and good luck!
O my this is so real ,very informative I enjoy your videos and learned va lot looking forward to more ,Thanks a lot ,,👍👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💛💛💚💚keep it coming .Good morning with a smile 🙋🙋☺☺
Thank you Elaine and good morning to you too.
Awesome stuff, Tom!
thanks Don
I LOVE this description! 🗣🗣🗣
Thank you
@@SleepyLizard thank YOU! 😁
İ really love you vlogs and you’re explanations and the way you tel everything And ım gonna take some pictures of my 5 mini trees. And i agree so much with you : AVOCADO DO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND GIVES ME SO THE BEST FEELING 🤣🤣🤣💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Semiha, that's great! You can send the pics to tomsiddonsfl@gmail.com. And thanks for the positive feedback.
Agree i have a grafted one growinf an first time start ti flowers
You're awesome and funny😊
thank you Gordon
We got our first stories! Listen to how "ElexGaming TH-cam" uses his avocado tree project as a stress reliever to clear his mind so he can be at his best to study for his college exams. He is well on his way to achieve his dream of becoming a fire marshal: th-cam.com/video/CSG0V1DDo0Y/w-d-xo.html
Also, another of our subscribers Andre is a school teacher in Africa who has already grown 100 seedlings with the goal to reach 1,000! He uses avocado cultivation to teach his students and part of his curriculum includes videos from this channel. I will post a pic of his trees in our community section.
Thank you Andre and ElexGaming for showing us how you are using avocado cultivation to build a better future for our world.
You are a lovely human💚
I appreciate that
@@SleepyLizard I planted my avocado today. I smelled the soil and was 100 percent present. Thank you for the gentle reminder💚
@@goodvibesonlygoodvibes9669 I love it!
I absolutely hated all forms of avocado my whole life (I’m 48). About a year ago my wife whipped up some type of guacamole and now I’m hooked. I don’t know what changed but I’m happier.
Maybe you're like my son. He hates avocados but loves guacamole.
Compadre you made my day, if you ever need an apprentice let me know. Keeping in in mind that I'am 66.
doing this kind of work will keep you a very young 66, ha! My back is killing today but I'm heading out for more in a few minutes.
You are an artist.
Thank you V Z. Can you grow avocados in your climate?
@@SleepyLizard don’t think so. but will try. the demand here is on surge.
im now jealous that i dont live in a avocado growing climate. but i enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm!
Thank you Sash. If you ever relocate to a warmer climate you now know what to do.
Watched your videos. Loved your instruction and subscribed. You are just to far from us thus we will keep watching you. Good advise by the way. My husband and I will definitely be starting this project with you. We love fuerta advos but only have hass in the supermarkets now. Keep up the good work. Love from South Africa.
Marijke, Great to hear from you. South Africans love avocados, I've been hearing from so many of your fell countrymen. Welcome to the channel.
You the greatest farmer
thanks Dev
@@SleepyLizard be careful the hurricane hit Florida bad be careful my friend
Hope the hurricane wipo not affect you an your avocado s productions
@@SleepyLizard hi good morning pets us know if you app ok Buenos dias
First time commenting.
Just wanted to say I never once typed "avacado" or anything like that and yet I stumbled upon your channel and videos and I find your content to be simultaneously entertaining and educational and easy to understand.
I live in California so I live in a climate suitable for growing avocados and I may just start that this year because you inspired me and it looks fun to start growing things in general besides avocados.
I appreciate you!
Hi Aremis, Your comment means a lot to me. Today I'm having "one of them days" so a message like yours really cheers me up! Please stay close to the channel and let us know how your tree progresses.
so much energy in the video like usual!! Brilliant!
Thanks BFB!!
Wow great video, growing that little avacado pit is like teaching your child to swim, run, ride a bike, next thing you know he’s in the Iron Man...
And his parents are out there in Kona cheering him on. Good memory, that trip. Thanks dad!
Heck yeah im in! 😁
keep us updated
I like your mind, Mister Avocado
well thank you very much. Do you grow trees?
SleepyLizard that is a very deep Thinking. I do it.Florida
Rosie Posie, it's good to meet like minded people.
New sub.. love your videos, thanks for being you 🙏 🌱
thank you JDOG
Yes i Yes i broda ... nice one again and again
Thanks for this video amazing
You're welcome Mahmoud, thank you for commenting.
Fantastic video, and deep thoughts.... I started my story five years ago with my son he's now 20 years old
Ariel, that's great. I bet you have a lot of great memories.
Your energy is so inspiring! Subscribed ❤️
Debbe, I appreciate your subscription. Thank you.
When I first found your channel, I found it very interesting and entertaining to me. I will love to Fowllow this series into growing an avocado tree. I've already planted two and they are doing well! I will for sure email you my story for my avocado seedlings.
I'll be looking for it, thanks!
11:31, interesting, all my life I've been suspending avo seeds in water with the pointed side facing down, and it actually worked. :) My current 6-year-old tree was grown the same way (it's still in water, which gets changed weekly, adding some Nutrisol every other week), but looks like a 6-month-old commercially grown tree, maybe it's time to plant it in soil.
yeah my dad has grown them upside down also. It is probably time to put in soil yes. On the other hand it would be really cool to see how long you can keep it going in water.
I love this channel. I have two seeds throwing roots that came from avocados from your farm (I gave away the other four :-)). Plus a few other avocados in what now is a full on avocado tree nursery lol! Cold winter months up here in MA, so I'm sure they'd like a little more sun, but those little fellas are growing.
Keep up the incredible work!
Yeah! I remember packing your avocados because you have the same name as a buddy I grew up with. So glad to hear that not only did you get to eat the fruit but now you have some trees to occupy your time. You're not alone, there's three or four other folks up in MA growing in their kitchens, garages, and living rooms. Keep us posted on your progress.
@@SleepyLizard Haha, yeah there are a lot of Michael Thomases out there! Hooray avocados!
for sure i will
First post! :D
Watching this is like watching a rewind of my avocado seedling from last year. It’s been an adventurous journey so far and your videos have served as solid guidelines for what I should do. Thanks mr sleepy head I mean SleepyLizard! 🦎
Yeah, This series is a result of people planting trees after watching our vids last year. I thought it would be a blast to plant together. How's your seedling doing?
@@SleepyLizard just finished pruning Plant A and have all the information I need to prune Plant B ;)
Yep, it’s me :D
@@NightfireOP ah ha! I just sent you an email ;)
@@SleepyLizard hi what ur email for I can contact u 🥑🥑😀

guac man... i love all fruit trees man.
me too!
Another great video. I love how you spread joy and positive thoughts, it makes you and your videos very special to many people. I have followed your instructions when I potted my seedling a few months ago and it is doing well :) I hope you will keep this series going and we will be able to grow our avocados together. Greetings from Turkey.
Hello Kadir and greetings from Florida. We'll keep the series going about every 45 days or so. Stay tuned for next part.
Super show.. Thanks.. Avos are my children..
Thanks Andre, I know how you feel
I dub thee ✨ Plant Daddy ✨
I shall represent the moniker with pride
I have started growing over 10 avocado it's going good
I'm glad to hear it. Keep us posted on your progress!
@@SleepyLizard ok
😲😲 this video was amazing I'm ur biggest avocodo fan🥑🥑🥑🥑
You're the best Adonis
Yes
yes
❤
🤣
I ordered 20 pounds of your avocados. Will they state what type of avocado you sent? I will be planting every seed this time. Something I’ve never done but you videos have influenced me. Also the last time I tasted your avocados they were delicious.
Win, yes I put in insert in the box that tells the variety. Right now we are shipping Donnies. I had one last night with dinner. They are a little smaller than what you've gotten from me later in the season.
my avocado has already sprouted in the avocado
Yes that happens. In fact I cut one open to eat the other day and there was a huge root already growing. Nature is funny, sometimes they sprout in the fruit and other times I takes two months in soil. I hope you enjoyed the avocado!
Bought a Hass Avocado at the store and did the water grow way. Very slow patient progress. Here's where I need help. Around November the roots were getting long so I decided to put it into soil. Bought a big pot and potting soil and planted it. Within a couple of weeks noticed aphids, literally hundreds of them in the soil, it was like the soil was alive and moving. Used soapy water and it worked for a while and then, they were back. Ended up putting it back into water, but I can tell it wants to grow bigger cause it's having growth spurts. roots and stem. Within a week it grew leaves that were 3" long. The pot I have it 15" diameter and 18" tall. I want to put it back into soil. How do I deal with the pest problem. Love your videos and your philosophy.
David, I would suggest you buy a fresh bag of potting soil and try again. Congratulations on the tree also!
I do the avacado seed in water with two toothpicks and have found pure tank water works and the organisms produced in the water help with germination. I have to top the water up as it evaporates of course. Once the root starts I place it into a one third mix of sand to the potting/manure/charcoal/pumice mix with a deep pot. Then I can tip water on it all day/night long.
Cheers
Justin, that's awesome. What are your plans for the trees?
SleepyLizard I've got a mound happening out the front for the big tree I sent you.
Haha Bloody legend
Funny that you claimed that you can't meditate. However, the process of connection to the moment that you described and guided through is meditation. Perhaps you're better at it than you think.
Contrary to popular belief, meditation is not always about "emptying your mind".
Appreciate your videos. Very informative.
Interesting perspective. Thank you for that.
I don’t watch the news, I have my little plant nursery space in the bedroom
Same here Drew. I spent about an hour in My shade house today tending to the trees and just taking my time and soaking it in and just really enjoying it. it was great.
Since avocados generally do not grow true to seed, I can't wait to see what you end up getting when your tree fruits. You are awesome for promoting growing avocados from seed, because that is why you have all your unique varieties of avocados and every tree grown from seed has the potential to be a new variety of avocado that's different somehow. You might get something really good tasting. Another TH-camr claimed that he had trees and trees of weird or bad tasting avocados on his from seed trees and told people not to do it. I can't see your website and it's probably the fault of whoever hosts your site. It happens when I try to see websites for like 20+ restaurants in a nearby city because they all hired the same person to make their websites, tell them people with older apple devices are getting a "browser not supported error." Do you send Avocados to California? Some companies won't send me fruit here.
Adrienne, I might also be the guy you're referring to who said seedlings grow weird avocados. All I did was explain what "true to seed" means but as you know people like to hear whatever message they want to complain about. 🤣
Anyhow, thank you for your encouraging comments, I appreciate it.
--Tom
Hi there is there any variety of avocado to grow in NC ? Ty so much for answer
It depends what ZIP Code you live in. You can check using Google your USDA hardiness zone just ask Google the hardiness zone for your ZIP Code if it is eight or above you will be able to grow avocados there
How big before you plant outside,,, mine is 18 inches big,,,,, i planted 20 inch pot
I usually plant them at chest height although right now I'm experimenting with some mangos I put in a knee height.
I live in South Africa
Welcome to the channel.
Marvellous, I love your style..I have a 4 acre farm and love plantation. You are a wonderful person, your style is excellent..My question is; can an Avacado tree grown from seed gives fruit or we need to do grafting? Appreciate your reply?
thanks for the compliment Mustujab! It is far far better to graft. Take a look a this vid then get back to me with your questions: th-cam.com/video/yWAR_DotvZs/w-d-xo.html
I planed a verry big pit drectly into soil 2 years ago now its 10 feet tall I hope one day will produce flowers then fruits
Wow! that's great to hear. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress.
I have about 7 so far growing from seed
I’m really getting to like you Drew please stay close to the channel
Could you tell me what I can do with my avocado when its leaves parts get brown at some places. When I moved it to the pot its leaves started to get brown. And what kind of natural fertilizer might be good for it?
Tamari, Repotting a tree is a stressful event and it's not uncommon for some leaves to die and drop. I'm not sure what you mean by natural fertilizer. We use 6-6-6 blend which are the nutrients most suited for avocado trees. It's like taking a vitamin instead of eating an orange.
You should start to see new leaf growth soon...and if you don't see anything happening above the ground don't worry, don't fuss over the tree, a lot of the growth happens below ground in the root system.
Good luck with your tree!
Thanks for attention. Behind the leaves it appeared some white pests and I've cleaned them with soap,soda and oil liquid. It has just 8 leaves and all of them had pests and even the new ones that are coming out. I'll watch if that helps.I just wonder if there is any natural substance that might be good in this case to grow healthy and firm avocado tree. Many thanks again.
@@tamarimorchadze6502 Tamari, diluted dish soap works wonders. Half a teaspoon of liquid dish soap to a liter of water.
I'm glad you were able to get rid of the pests.
I have an avocado seed that has sprouted 3 stems. Do I leave it or do something? Thanks!
I usually prune off the weaker ones and leave the dominant one.
Can you plant avocado tree in the ground in georgia. I have one in my greenhouse
It depends on your USDA hardiness zone. Check what your hardiness zone for your ZIP Code is on Google if the answer is 7A or above you can grow avocados
I cut the top after 6 months (12inches tall), then the bud shot again but still remained one single stem instead of two... what should I do next? Cheers.
give it 3 months and see what happens
I planted a avocado seed that two stems popped up. I left it and grafted Russell to both trunks will this be a problem?
That won’t be a problem.
Thank you
Hey dude I live in mid FL and I'm growing an avocado seed in water . I'm thinking about grafting it when it's mature , but there no hass avocodo trees near me what should I do ?
Hi Jo, We don't have any Hass scion at Sleepy Lizard but I know placed out in California sell them online, you might find some that way. Or maybe go to a nursery and see if they have any large Hass like in a 25 gallon pot, I'm sure one of the employees would snip you a cutting if you threw a few bucks his way.
If all else fails send me an email at tomsiddonsfl@gmail.com...I can probably find you some.
Ok thanks
I"am not joking, I would really love to help you do your planting.
If I have my 1st avocado, seedling,,,,, what else I do,,,,, I don't have another tree, to do grafting,,,,,, it gets 8 leafs,,, then they fall off,,,, just leaving 3,
you can buy cuttings online. I sell them at www.guacfarm.com when they are in season
Hi Bro. I planted an Avocado that had multiple sprouts, would that mean the seed is polyembryonic? In that case true to seed?
not for avocado. I get that a lot and I just prune the weaker ones and let the dominant one thrive.
Hello! Have you ever tried air layering an avocado tree? Do avocado trees respond well to this method?
I've not tried that
Do I have to graft the tree to get fruit off of it
@sleepylizard
Mr. Sweat, A grafted tree will produce fruit identical to the tree from which you took the cutting in 3 years. A seed grown non grafted tree takes 10 to 12 years to produce fruit and you have no idea what you'll get...might taste good, might not. Might produce every year, might produce every 2 years. it's a gamble
Can pecan seeds grow? Also wat time of the year would be best to plant an avocado tree in the ground from pot?
Jose, .I spent some time in Thomasville GA which I believe is the pecan capital of the world so I read a little bit about them. You can grow a tree from a pecan but they are not "true to seed" which means the resulting tree won't produce the same kind of pecan.
As for best time to put in the ground: I try to do most of my planting in mid-June just before Florida rainy season kicks in....then you get 5 months of sweet sweet rain to give them babies a nice boost.
@@SleepyLizard so the pecan from seed does work because I've had trouble with them the shell would rot before it the seedlings would root properly.
As for the planting in the ground I live in texas so any time in summer would kill the tree I've tried before not enough rainfall and too much heat
@@JoseLopez-er8lv yeah I don't know when you guys get your rain but get them in the ground right before rainy season an make sure you can irrigate about an inch every 4 days in dry season
@@SleepyLizard ok thank you oh in case any one else from texas asks early to mid March for good rain this is for the rgv
@@JoseLopez-er8lv thanks for the info
How far should I plant them apart from each other
12 to 16 feet
Well thanks for that. I've been planting my seeds wrong way ie. Point down. They still grow but good to know. Nice to find a kindred spirit planting n potting has been my therapy for 30 years. Keep up the good work. Can't find your email or your name. Bit of help on both be good
tomsiddonsfl@gmail.com
I planted a seed this last summer and 2 trees grew from it.
Erik, yeah we get that sometimes. I usually prune the "weaker" of the two an let the dominant one continue but you can do it however you want. let us know how things continue with the tree(s)
I love avocados, but I cannot get one seed to grow roots, i am obsessed with growing an avocado tree, i even had a friend give me a tree in a pot and after while it died too so I dont know what im doing wrong. I am in Tampa, Florida when is the right time to plant it in the ground?
Id say best time to plant the tree in the grown is when the tree is big enough say anywhere from 1-2 feet or beyond that and plant it during the warm months during the growing season so that it has time to start to establish its root system before the colder months where growth is slower
Isabel, stay close to the channel, keep trying, and you'll get one to grow. I'm certain of it. Grow one along with us in this series!
As for when to put it into the ground. In Tampa you can plant year round but the best time would be right as rainy season is starting so Mid-June or so. Have you ever noticed the way grass grows during rainy season? Same thing with trees. Keep it in the pot now during dry season...easier to water that way, then second week of June or so get that baby in the ground and mother nature will take it from there.
@@raghu5038 thank you
It’s any way we can upload pictures of avocados we grow

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
thank you Roberto
WHAT IF U LIVE IN NEW ENGLAND?!!!
well, you're kind of out of luck as far as getting the tree to fruit but you can grow the tree as a house plant. Here's how: th-cam.com/video/tY2qGPIrmUw/w-d-xo.html
I’m going to start grafting mine in the next month or so. I know where a huge Hass ( it looks like Hass) that loads with fruit and get some scions from it.
big Mac, your timing is perfect. let us know how it goes.
Pls
Thx
But you said that avos don't grow true to seed. Why plant a seed if only one in 80000 will become edible?
Two reasons: First, we plant seedlings so we can graft cuttings from our known varieties to make more delicious fruit. Secondly, for people who live in climates that don't support outdoor avocado cultivation people can plant a seedling and keep them as house plants.
@@SleepyLizard Thanks.
Doesn't it take 20 years to get fruit I'll be dead by then..... LoL and wouldn't you have to be in a warm growing zone...
Pafford, a grafted tree will fruit in year three. We'll be grafting trees as part of this series.
@@SleepyLizard well do you ship to Texas might have to order some....
@@PaffordHomestead sure do! but not till springtime because this time of year the trees will freeze and die in transit.
@@SleepyLizard will I need to buy 2 so that pollination will take place?
If we want to plant trees this year, when would expect fruit in Laguna Hills, Ca? oh How many of other trees other than haas do we need to include in our 1 acre area? I tried to correct haas to hass but no avail!
