That sound of dirt bikes is healthy for Gem and Gwen avocado trees👍🤠
Yeah
Another good video of container growing avocados. Keep it up.
Thanks
Great video👍✌🏼
Thanks
Glad to see the garden is back together !!
Thanks.
Love the video. I'm watching my 2nd or 3rd time. Keep em' coming.
Watch some of the other videos. 😂
Thanks for posting this. Been searching for a gem. Went down today and got two.
Great
@@TheElsinoreGardener how often would you recommend watering and how much? I've up potted to a similar size pot as you did.
Thanks again for the videos you post
Where did you get them?
@@ocneal Maddock Ranch Nursery
5.0
(19)
Plant nursery in Fallbrook, California
@@ocneal call ahead to see if they have them as well
Man I drove about an hour and a half each way (from Thousand Oaks) down to Laguna Hills nursery to pick up top pot soil. I would’ve been so pissed off if they were out of stock. I tried calling multiple times to verify they had stock but nobody would answer the phone even during business hours.
I really wish Gary would distribute this out to other nurseries to the north
I think in their newsletter or website they tell you the other places that sell it
Every time i go there they're always out of stock, they sell out so fast. Gary actually helped me and told me to go with the acid mix (i planted mine on a the ground and raised the mound) my reed has tripled in size! You and a guy in San Diego inspired me to plant a reed and it's been amazing. I'm posting a video about it soon on youtube
Can't wait to see it
Scott, I’m on my way to Laguna Hills Nursery as I write. I’ve potted some avocado seedlings that I grew. On some of them, the leaves are turning brown and wilting. I used 100% Gary’s TopPot. Do you think I’m overwatering them? I never let the pot dry out. In Anaheim the past couple months, I’ve been watering them every other day. Thanks.
This time of year avocado trees drop leaves and push new growth. Is your tree pushing new growth?
Interesting that you want your GEM to grow in all different directions. This is kind of defeating one of the benefits we commercial growers look for in a GEM. We like to let them grow as they naturally tend to do, straight up, like a Christmas tree. This allows us to do high density planting with them. Good luck with your trees, and thank you for promoting the GEM fruit.
The tree in the ground may not be a GEM. I bought it in 2018 from a grower that may have misled people they had the GEM before others. That’s what I have learned. I know other people who think the same. The other Gems are real. They grow more like they should.
Impossible to get a gem here at the east coast 🙁, appreciate the video✌🏼
They are harder to find. The growers love them.
Every time I hear Jan Boyce I die a little.
I’m going to add more when I can find them
Why do you die?
@@ocneal from envy. The two nurseries that might have Jan Boyce in northern California are either always sold out or only have larger trees out of my budget. I have Reed, Holiday, Sir Prize, and a Hass I've repotted and am trying to save. My other hobby is fig trees.
Do they let you pick the tree you want? It sounds like they don't want you back there?
Yes they do
What root stock is your Gem on that you bought from. Maddock Nurseries
I don’t know. Sorry
Great video as usual. Can you tell us how much the bag of pumice was?
One cubic foot bag was $12.99
@@TheElsinoreGardener Thank you!!
It is impossible to find a GEM in the Central Coast Area. There was one nursery that wanted $300 for a 15 gal size one. Way out of my price range. Do you know of any nurseries that carry them in my area or within an hour or so? Maddock seems to sell them at reasonable prices, but it's too far away.
That might be a good price for a 15 gallon. You just don’t see those that size here. I don’t know of any others there. Sorry
I can sell you a gem in Fresno for 110
Congrats for the new GEM, which rootstock is this one grafted on ?
Not sure
I'm in TX... I repotted mine and the leaves wilted... I'm thinking it was due to sun exposure... Currently I moved it to the shade... I ordered some whitewash hoping it will help... What do you think I should do?
I’m in South Texas and grow about 12 + different varieties and multiples of some in ground.. I use Surround wp clay spray as a whitewash for leaves and trunk. It works well to help keep the plants cool and blocks a good amount of heat. Hope this helps.
If you have intense sunlight I would ease them back into sunlight if you spread out the roots in a new container. Correct soil is the key and water.
I have seeding avocado tree which produce flower every year but not fruit what does reason would be? its 10 feet tall but no fruit on it alot of flower but not fruit :(
Keep it fertilized and try Alaska Fish fertilizer Bloom in early spring . It will help keep the flowering going. It will eventually set fruit. Sounds like you’re on the right track.
I’m trying to remember if you were the one who purchased one of his Gems from Adams Tropics? If so, Is that the tree that is not looking like true Gems?
I did buy trees from them. I will see this year if they are real Gems. There is a big fruit set starting on it. I got 6 avocados in 2019. Zero in 2020 and it looks good this year. I also have Gems from Atkins nursery and Maddock nursery both in Fallbrook ca.
@@TheElsinoreGardener How were the Gems from Atikins? Do they grow their own or buy wholesale from another nursery?
How much did you pay for the GEM?
They charge $29 for them that size
That's not bad at all. Thanks for the video.
Well I drove out to Maddox Nursery yesterday and I picked me up a GEM finally after 2 yrs searching. Thanks for the video and information on where to go. Really do appreciate it. I'll have to make a video soon and share.
