You know, there's so many people that miss out, because they haven't come across your channel By the way, keep up the hard work and continue hitting the gym so your finger heals up
It's been over 2 weeks since the sad demise of the cutting and it's still dead and decomposing. The cutting has fungal spots al over the bottom part, so it's definitely breaking down. The condition is proves absence of any viability or potential recovery. I'm still continuing the efforts, that seem futile, like rinsing the cutting with a solution ( water+fungicide+chamomile) and changing the water at least twice a day. There's some firmness and hydration in some areas, but that's because it's only been dead for 15 days. By the way, today me and my class went to the cinema and watched Gladiator 2, it was a blast. At least there're things to keep my mind off the dead cutting.
Every now and then you find out about a new variety of avocado, mango, sometimes other fruit. You know, we as human beings learn about so many things each and every day. Btw, The cutting is still dying and you know, monitoring it hourly when I can, hoping for some "magical miracle" from the tiniest green
No one should have any doubts about your information. You could be a great teacher based on your experiences. Keep doing the great work. A lot of us learn a lot from you. Blessings to you and family.
A friend of mine told me about a trip he took to a tropical country years ago. He said there were avocados growing everywhere that were extra large like the one in your video. While he was there they had a bad tropical storm. He said it was like guacamole all over the roads.
I've never seen a Marcus Pumpkin tree. the ones I had are from a friend. but the croquettes get to almost 4 lbs and seeing them big shiny avocados is the greatest
Our first order has been amazing , I grew up around Avocado fields, and I can say these are the best I've ever eaten. Even my spouse, who is not an Avocado fan, loves them. Will be ordering Christmas gifts from yall ☺️
Avocado cutting update: I was away for 3 days (Friday-Monday), I made sure the water was fresh and cutting was in place before I left. But when I got back, I saw the cutting had deteriorated further. The potential growth had dehydrated too much. And over the past 48 hours, the cutting has gone from being okayish to barely alive. The fungus is too aggressive, it's covered the whole cutting and now there's lesions, and brown rot. The overall color has changed from green to yellow, slightly green at best. There's no signs of even the slightest root formation. There's deep skin irritation like brown vertical lines. There's absolutely no potential growth point or viable nodes left. The likelihood of recovery is practically zero. I'm very heartbroken and upset. I can't believe it's come down to this. Well, over the next few days, I'm going to try my absolute hardest to save the cutting, mostly searching for natural ingredients or additives. I put so many hours in trying to save the avocado, I don't want to let some stupid fungus get in the way. Weirdly enough, my friends called me in that 3 day periods, 2 new pigeons had been found while I was gone, it was unsuccessful, but weird, so many injured pigeons lately. Do you think there's anything, anything that can save my avocado cutting?
These videos are great. Up here un New York state, we know our apples, but we lead a sheltered life when it comes to avocados. The markets all carry the Hass variety which were probably picked at the wrong time and shipped in bulk from far away. They are just OK. It is good to learn about the other varieties of avocados available, and the fact that you can order them directly online. I recently received the avocados that I ordered online from this farm. They were packaged well and arrived quickly. At this point I am just waiting for them to ripen perfectly. Can’t wait to try them. I have had locally grown avocados in California when I worked out there, and they are amazing compared to what we get in the stores out east. Can’t wait to try the Choquettes you sent. Thanks for posting the video and the education!
thank you for your business and if you follow the little instruction slip you'll have some nice ripe and tasty avocados before you know it! I hope you enjoy them.
I didin't know there wa a variety bigger than Choquette! The Marcus Pumpkin sure is humongous. I hope you take a cutting from a tree of that variety and start growing this variety. When I got back from school, it was exactly 3 pm, I got a notification that you uploaded and put a smile to my face. By the way, the pigeon escaped out of the caroard box or got eaten, well it is what it is.
Is that one of the avocados you shipped to me? I got mine today and I CANNOT wait to try it! They’re MASSIVE! I eat avocado every day and I’ve got a couple of weeks worth now! Thank you so much!
@@SleepyLizard hi Tom, I was mostly joking, but was referring to the choquette that you were showing in the video. I do have a question though, do you sell cuttings? also, with the Chipettes or the other types you grow grow in California?
If you ever drive by Melbourne FL, stop by my place and I have a beautiful 7-gal grafted Marcus Pumpkin tree with your name on it. As gratitude for pushing me to graft my own trees. I'm eating a lot of these things lately in the 3.5 lb range.
I have a feeling that you're onto something. You are observing my comments and you thought you knew who I was at some point... getting some weird vibes
I went to visit my grandma, I knew smth was up with the avocado cutting, but was in a hurry before leaving. I wanted to come back at Sunday night, but she didn't let me. So, I stayed with her until Monday. I'm in total disbelief. My avocado journey will end in a few days. There's literally nowhere the cutting can grow from, all the buds and calluses have been overtaken by the fungus. Only the most expensive and advanced tools could give the slightest glimmer of hope, but let's be honest, I don't have that kind of stuff, nor do I know anyone that has them. I estimate the chances of salvaging the cutting are 1 in 100 billion. I don't get it, I just don't get why this had to happen. The concept of recovery is probably irrelevant. In a few days, the cutting will be dead. I guess I just have to let go of the pointless idea of growing tropical fruit. I hope your having an amazing day, mine was great, apart from the cutting's state
I can't believe I'm saying this, but the avocado cutting is dead and has reached the point of no return. After nearly 3 years of battling root rot, my avocado couldn't survive. There's no way the parent tree is alive, it's been dead for 6 months. I took a cutting of the mother tree in April and was successful, but as the days got shorter in September, the cutting got infected and died today. I should've started to act earlier when it was alive still, but it's too late. The overall color o the cutting black or dark brown with a few lighter portions where it was green until 2 days ago and the most decay-resistant part being slightly orange, but not alive. There's a bit of slime or sticky stuff on the bottom part and some decay and foul smell at times. And there's some mold developing. Strangely enough, the bottom part that's submurged in water is still hydrated completely and pretty firm, obviously, but it's dead and decomposing so it's not a sign o life. The calluses are the same, I guess they were dead even when the cutting was still alive. It's possible that the cutting died yesterday. Oh well, the series is over. I never posted the series on TH-cam since I wasn't planning to. I will NEVER ever grow avocados again! I had wonderful memories of the avocado but it was a matter of time before the fungus killed it and now I'm beyond heartbroken. Rest In Peace original avocado (4th August 2021 - 4th November 2024)
I hope that 5 comments at once isn't too much. I once made a joke about watching the NFL instead of the stream and I think you suspect I'm also the one behind chnatown boy and 那一頭无 and a55, but I want to confirm I'm not these people. and I'm certainly not your dad, despite our similarities. your dad is too busy playing with his knives and calling the crows in Scranton🤣
Man, I don't know how you recover from hurricanes. I freaked out when I heard the door handle making noises but realised it was just a cold front or dust storm. I even get scared it's barely windy, let alone, beyond 60 mph. I've only experienced a potential hurricane once, but I'd just woken up, so didn't react too much. The avocado cutting's situation - dire. I'm upset, but I guess I just might have to accept defeat in a few days. The fungus is too strong and unstoppable :(
The cutting is still completely dead and actively breaking down. The core or the inner layers are soft and mushy, may even be hollow. I didn't think the cutting would continue to get worse after death. But clearly the silver rot is persisting and worsening. The smell coming from the rot is putrid and distinct, but only sometimes. If I change the water every 6 hours, the fungus might slow down. But yeah, the cutting being dead is an established fact. The idea of recovery or revival is out the window. And it feels like intervention is meaningless. That said, the only potentially good sign about the remaining cutting is it's still hydrated and somewhat firm. But it's laughable to consider it as a sign of life. I'll likely observe some mold and white fungus covering the cutting in the near future. Even the advanced propagation techniques are not sufficient for salvaging the dead cutting. I'm still updating you on the cutting regularly, because I know it's probably gonna get worse and start decomposing and I like to do it while I even have the physical remains of the cutting. You bet I'm going through the stages of grief, especially pain and testing. Even when I get to acceptance, I'm not coming back to growing avocados.
In the 1970's in both Florida (had one in the yard) and here in San Diego, we called those Queen Anne....or at least they look exactly like those. Buttery smooth but not quite as high an oil content of a Haas. Kind of a cross between a Haas and Fuerte in taste/texture....but of course much larger. I design farms and family in FL dates to 1822 farming, great grandparents had the original Mango Grove in Pine Island, FL. I am more familiar with crops in the PNW having lived up there 30 years......Pears, Peaches, Apricot, Apples, etc. so I have not heard of this "Marcus Pumpkin", nice.
here's the thing. I need you to back off because TH-cam is going to think you are a bot trying to generate fake views and they'll throttle my account. you're costing me money. though I do love our game.
right now we are doing Choquette, We start Monroe next week. I dont' list what varieties because I never know from day to day. It depends on what Mother Nature tells me is ready to pick.
@@SleepyLizard Placing my order today. Hoping..HOPING there will be both Choquette and Monroe in my box. It said on ur oder page that the box will contain either or a mix. But further down the page u stated u don't mix🤔. Plz clear up my confusion and plz PLZ try to send both in my box. I will include a reminder note of this feed and who I am. It's the one and only Cookie 😊 Thx Tom
I found another pigeon today! The last one from a few days ago, well, the cats got it. But this time I placed it in a higher spot. But I'm very doubtful about how I put the cardboard box. The box is in sort of leaning towards the road and the slightest touch could result in avery bad accident for the pigeon that's in that box.
Is it similar to GEM Avocados? 😮 Cause that's my favourite one of all that I've tried and it's exactly like you explained - soft, buttery and almost sweet
I grow this type of avocado at home!!! and yes the taste is amazing and the size is huge but unfortunately the productivity is low compared to other types of avocado. Really worth to try ☺️🥑
@@edwinungerer7989 This avocado tree only bears six fruits at the first harvest on a four year old tree, each fruit weighing about 3.5 lb. even at the second harvest the fruit becomes only four fruits on one tree
@@SleepyLizard yes monsieur. Small seed. The flesh is 2 to 3 cm thick. And FYI, we are also the 1995 holder of Guinness world records of the sweetest mango variety.😋
I've told quite a few people about my avocado over the years. And some people(that I aven't seen in a while) ask me what happened to my avocados. It hurts when I have to say that they've died. I'm still upset that my cutting died. It's been dead for at least 1 or 2 days. It's still hydrated because I'm changing the water 3-4 times a day. It's kind of pointless but I'll be doing it for a while. The only thing that is left of the cutting that's not been completely broken down is the hydrated portion, but it's not alive, probably releasing its final compounds. The whole cutting is black or super dark brown. Anyways, I hope you post another video soon.
I’m jealous of the avocado! In Houston texas, your average HEB avocado sometimes has good creamy flavor and sometimes not. Not sure why. But I am.a bit of an Avocado snob. I don't care about the size, only the flavor.
There used to be an avocado tree on sw 67 Ave and 30 street that was there when I was a kid until this year. The idiot who bought the house cut it down as they all do. It produced avocados I called footballs which weighed 4-5 pounds. The seed was pretty much average size with lots of fruit around it.
Today was the first day after the cutting had passed away. I'm still in shock. It would be cool if there was a way to save recently dead or extremely damaged tissue
The cutting has been dead for over a week now. I'm not seeing any improvents. The damage is irreversible. The overall color is of the cutting is black and some spots are slightly orange, but these orange spots are NOT alive. I mean, like, treating the cutting is now meaningless and inapplicable. There's mold growth which could be a health hazard, but I'm being careful when handling the cutting. No matter what I do, I can't reverse the rot and decomposition.
It indeed started with I used to be a doctor bot style and ever since you realsied I was imitating, you stopped reporting my usernames But you reported Familia Dragster
The avocado cutting has turned brown and black almost completely. I can see no signs of life or growth. There're only two miniscule portions that are slightly alive. But it's over, the end is inevitable. The cutting will be completely dead in 2 days tops, maybe even this night. The chances of recovery are 0%. This is very sad, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. I'll keep updating daily and let you know about the cutting and when it's officially dead.
I tried to tell you I liked the Markus pumpkin in your live action. But, you didn't want to hear about it. Being a salesman, you only wanted to talk about your avocados. Because everyone is jealous of your avocados.😂
I love the unique shape of the Marcus hPumpkin avocado
did TH-cam require you to give a phone number when you created your account?
You know, there's so many people that miss out, because they haven't come across your channel

These avocados are indeed insanely big, and better yet, are lighter than choquettes, which is the best combo
yes and less dense flesh

Thank you for making this video, I learn tons of things from you!
you are welcome
Woow! I'M absolutely intrigued and cutious🤔 never in a million years would've thought there was a variety similar to a pumpkin
it tastes so good
I can't believe there's an avocado variety this big
I've got another variety called Choquette which don't grow as large but they weigh more, they've got denser flesh
The Marcus Harm- Pumpkin is indeed a huge avocado
thanks for your participation on the live today. very entertaining.
No one should have any doubts about your information. You could be a great teacher based on your experiences. Keep doing the great work. A lot of us learn a lot from you. Blessings to you and family.
thank you
I had no idea there were so many varieties. I love avocado and I wanna grow one. Just found this, great fun put a smile on my face 🙂
I keep learning about new ones
It's theoretically possible that it's the biggest variety ever. And how you use your spoons and forks also matters
I know who you are 🤣
A friend of mine told me about a trip he took to a tropical country years ago. He said there were avocados growing everywhere that were extra large like the one in your video. While he was there they had a bad tropical storm. He said it was like guacamole all over the roads.
we had hundreds of thousands of avocados knocked down in hurricane Irma
I bet the Marcus P avo trees look astounding from a view of the cherrypicker
I've never seen a Marcus Pumpkin tree. the ones I had are from a friend. but the croquettes get to almost 4 lbs and seeing them big shiny avocados is the greatest
Didn't think Miami was close to Homestead, I guess it's feasible for Paul to go and enjoy the dolphin games
both in dade county

yes
I'd only be messin with channels that always reply
you've come to the right place

I found another pigeon today! The last one from a few days ago, well, the cats got it. But this time I placed it in a higher spot. But I'm very doubtful about how I put the cardboard box. The box is in sort of leaning towards the road and the slightest touch could result in avery bad accident for the pigeon that's in that box.
I suggest you start writing a book
I'd love to try one of those, we only get the usual small ones, which often taste pretty bland.
we sell many different varieties at www.guacfarm.com
I was planting Markus type, harvesting and so amazing size... the weight almost 2 kg, correctly 1,86 kg.
I don't know how much that's in lbs but it sounds pretty heavy
it's a great cultivar
Is it similar to GEM Avocados? 😮 Cause that's my favourite one of all that I've tried and it's exactly like you explained - soft, buttery and almost sweet
not sure. I haven't tried the GEM yet. but it sounds similar from what you describe
How long it takes avocado to make a fruit from flower?
depends on the variety. they all flower in February. my Donnies are ready by late May whereas you can't pick Monroe until November
My tree flowering from since late October early November in Antigua and Barbuda
I grow this type of avocado at home!!! and yes the taste is amazing and the size is huge but unfortunately the productivity is low compared to other types of avocado. Really worth to try ☺️🥑
yeah that's what makes it great for backyard growing but no much for commercial
how low?
@@edwinungerer7989 This avocado tree only bears six fruits at the first harvest on a four year old tree, each fruit weighing about 3.5 lb. even at the second harvest the fruit becomes only four fruits on one tree
@@e_alvarez_99 oh wow
Well you haven’t been to Nicaragua!
I rarely leave homestead fl 🤣
Haven’t been to the border or to Europe either 😂
@@johannesvanhoek9080 awwwwwh baby why not it’s beautiful
PRETTY LARGE - the size reminds me of ones I picked up at a Farmers Market in Hawaii.
yes I'm told they grow them big in Hawaii
There are several varieties that grow in Hawaii, Reed is one of them. They are delicious too
Wow! so buttery 😋i wish i can have that
I can't wait to eat the second half today
but I only see the small avocados at the supermarket, is this a joke?
how come you didn't join the steam today with the rest of your cousins?
We've got ten pounds here in the Pacific.
dang they must be huge!
@@SleepyLizard yes monsieur. Small seed. The flesh is 2 to 3 cm thick. And FYI, we are also the 1995 holder of Guinness world records of the sweetest mango variety.😋
Where can you get one of those?
Julian sells the trees
Hola! De donde son? o donde las cultivan?
ne se la historia de este variadad. busce un poco en el google pero no encontré nada
the problem with creating new cousins is that everytime a new viewer comments, you might think it's one of the new cousins
I've told quite a few people about my avocado over the years. And some people(that I aven't seen in a while) ask me what happened to my avocados. It hurts when I have to say that they've died. I'm still upset that my cutting died. It's been dead for at least 1 or 2 days. It's still hydrated because I'm changing the water 3-4 times a day. It's kind of pointless but I'll be doing it for a while. The only thing that is left of the cutting that's not been completely broken down is the hydrated portion, but it's not alive, probably releasing its final compounds. The whole cutting is black or super dark brown. Anyways, I hope you post another video soon.
you are going through the stages of grief
I’m jealous of the avocado! In Houston texas, your average HEB avocado sometimes has good creamy flavor and sometimes not. Not sure why. But I am.a bit of an Avocado snob. I don't care about the size, only the flavor.
these ones taste so good
Nice where u from?
we are in homestead fl
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
😁
There used to be an avocado tree on sw 67 Ave and 30 street that was there when I was a kid until this year. The idiot who bought the house cut it down as they all do. It produced avocados I called footballs which weighed 4-5 pounds. The seed was pretty much average size with lots of fruit around it.
yep
the Marcus tastes better than the pumpkin itself
We’re do you live
homestead fl
it's HUGE 😲😲😲
enormous
Today was the first day after the cutting had passed away. I'm still in shock. It would be cool if there was a way to save recently dead or extremely damaged tissue
yes that would really change things a lot.
Holy, this avocado looks almost as big as joo- jackfuit! My my
yep
think just one of these is enough to feed all my cousins
I'm curious if there a a bunch of people around that have turned avocado green with envy?? 😂😅
excellent point
😆
its a different topic but i made a candle heater
make a vid about it and send me the link. I wanna see!
@@SleepyLizard as far as i heard it can be dangerous due to open flame and monoxide
And you mentioned you wanted new cousins coming, no problemo
The cutting has been dead for over a week now. I'm not seeing any improvents. The damage is irreversible. The overall color is of the cutting is black and some spots are slightly orange, but these orange spots are NOT alive. I mean, like, treating the cutting is now meaningless and inapplicable. There's mold growth which could be a health hazard, but I'm being careful when handling the cutting. No matter what I do, I can't reverse the rot and decomposition.
😭
It indeed started with I used to be a doctor bot style and ever since you realsied I was imitating, you stopped reporting my usernames
But you reported Familia Dragster
yes
May I have ur address, I live at the Redland ,1 mile from Julian Lara,I want to buy some avocados from u, thanks
go to the "about" section and send me an email and we can connect from there.
05:00 Monroe
yep
I figured you already knew who I was, so I gave obvious clues
when are you guys going to make a subscription in your website so I can receive a box of avocados every 2 weeks. 😂
I can't do that with agriculture because you gotta make sure there's a crop
The avocado cutting has turned brown and black almost completely. I can see no signs of life or growth. There're only two miniscule portions that are slightly alive. But it's over, the end is inevitable. The cutting will be completely dead in 2 days tops, maybe even this night. The chances of recovery are 0%. This is very sad, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I'll keep updating daily and let you know about the cutting and when it's officially dead.
bummer
Me do think avocado taste good|!!||
they do
Who do you think I am?
I thought you were Jonsito but now I realize I might have been mistaken
I tried to tell you I liked the Markus pumpkin in your live action. But, you didn't want to hear about it. Being a salesman, you only wanted to talk about your avocados.
Because everyone is jealous of your avocados.😂
it must be frustrating when you don't get to determine what other people wanna talk about on their livestreams 🤣
@SleepyLizard it's like watching a car wreck. You just have to look.
