1,000 named avocadoes?!?!?!? "Testicle Food" LMBO!!!! Thank you Mr. Hass - those are my favorite!!! Maybe I will be on the lookout for the Lula avocados - very intrigued indeed. Another awesome video filled with great information.
Ive been in Florida my whole life and I'm more familiar seeing the Florida varieties over the Hass! Your presentation and information is wonderful, keep it up!
Too bad he can’t even pronounce the name correctly😂 Think of your posterior and put an H in front of it. Jeff Hass, grandson of Rudolf Hass, holder of Patent 139 for the Hass avocado.
I've been growing some avocado trees, and one of them has 4-5 shoots. And I haven't seen any of the shoots die, is that polyembryonic? It also had started with 2 root shoots, and its leaves look similar to the adult tree I had got it from.
Michael, i'm not aware of any polyembryonic avocado varieties. Sometimes I get multiple shoots but I prune away the smallest ones and leave the dominant one.
Having lived in Miami for over 80% of my life, I had never eaten Haas Avocado until I moved to North Florida. The avocado we bought in the stores and the ones we harvest from the back yard were always Simmonds, Doni, Choquette and the Hialeah Red. However, the Haas is what I see here in the stores. Though I prefer those avocados I get in South Florida, the Haas is not very far off in quality.
Greetings to you sir,each time i watching a video from you, is like i.m attending a multipurpose polytechnic learning and training institute. No if no but and lets just forget maybe. You know what you saying and trust me you are an inspiration to those want to learn something in the field of agriculture, you doing great job, i find myself into your videos like my retirement school, may God bless you sir!!
Gorlan, You're right. I repeat things because repetition is the key to a good presentation. People remember the first thing you say, the last thing you say, and the things you repeat.
This might be your best vid. So you're saying the first one to graft must have had a nice pair of avocados. What is the advantage of patenting an avocado when farmers just graft them?
Thanks for the compliment. The advantage to patenting is to incentivize people to grow new varieties but that takes investment. Plant patents give a person a way to monetize years of investment when they finally hit the jackpot with their new variety. It's risk reward, grow the same old thing everybody is used to or come up with a new variety that takes the market by storm. Maybe a seedless one for example.
Hello, I could really use your help! Recently my wife lost both her grandparents. They had a beautiful avacado tree in the back yard that my wife had great memories growing up and spending time under it with them. Unfortunately, the property is being sold. I managed to take about eight clippings a month ago and trimmed them down to about 8” and used a rooting powder to help stimulate root growth. All but one of them is starting to sprout tiny leaves. Is there any advice you could give me to try to ensure they survive. My wife and I would love be able to share similar memories with our granddaughters. Thank you in advance for any advice you might be able to provide me
Gilbert, I'd be happy to help out. Send me an email (tomsiddonsfl@gmail.com). It would be easier to start a dialogue that way. I have a few ideas for you.
@brentonz thank you for the compliment. and yes we do sell avocados at our online store: www.guacfarm.com/product-page/florida-avocados-10lb-box And the best part is we are in season right now.
Super-informative vid that didn't make me feel like I'm sitting in history class... THANKS SO MUCH for the wonderful content/info you're willing to share!
In Turkey, Istanbul, I am buying Hass avocado between 1 and 1.5 USD from markets. For us it is expensive, because 1 kg banana is 2 USD, only one avocado and we dont know how to eat it. We are learning. I think farmers want to grow avocado because of its price. I saw another type of Avocados first time in your video and understood that avocados have names because there are more than one avocado type. Also your style is interesting, Thanks.
The last Ford Truck I bought, was made in Turkey. The economy must be good when you are buying imported avocado, and you don't even know how to eat it.
guacfarm...? Guatemala? I wacthing from Nederland , Guatemalan Born. Love aguacate! but up here just peruvians, israel , mexicans or african aguacates can find. kind regarfs SR.
Jolene, when we have them in stock they are $30 plus $25 shipping. I'll have more stock around summer time...we have to let our recently grafted stuff grow a little bit. I can recommend some stuff that's very different from the common Hass.
I have never seen one as big as that... i dont think ill ever get bored of avocados or this channel! Surprisingly informative, Surprisingly surprising! 😂💖😲
@@SleepyLizard I think my favourite videos of yours are the ones including philosophy, business, life etc. I loved the sloth poop one. Do you do premiers? They are so fun on gardening channels...
@@SleepyLizard Moved north from Palm Beach County up to near Jacksonville last year. What grows best up near the Georgia border? My guess is not those huge West Indian avocados
Well, I had one tree grown from seed that grew beautiful shiny pear shaped fruit. It got knocked down in hurricane Irma in 2017 and hasn't fruited since. The flavor was good not great also, not a consistent producer but such a beautiful appearance. Let's see what happens when it fruits again.
I got a ton of reptiles running around the farm. Iguanas, all kinds of little lizards, rattlers, coral snakes and a bunch or non venomous snakes as well. also the occasional tortoise which I'm not sure is a reptile strictly speaking.
Hi i liked this varieties so much but unfortunately we don't have them in my country. We have just (hass-fuerte). Do you sell the Grafts online ? Because this is the only way to have this varieties in little time maybe 2 years i can eat them 😂. So if you accept ship them to me i will be so happy and thanks for the channel.
Hass actually bought the property from my relative Mr. Rideout. Rideout created the Hass and left his trees on the property when he sold it. Hass is full of it. The part about his daughters finding the tree is true. He was going to cut them down until his daughter said she liked the fruit.
try the book, Fouders and Friends, Rio Honda College and Whittier Historical Society. Pages 78-79 explain how he gifted the trees on the property to the new owner. My dad’s mother’s maiden name is Rideout. Albert R.(Bert) Rideout introduced the avocado to Whittier. I would Google him to get the real scoop.

David, Yeah I apologize but we sold out for the spring. I didn't expect so much traffic but my youtube channel has gotten so popular my subscribers bought up all my inventory. I'm growing new stuff now but it'll be a few months.
@@zedbaby72 thank you. With people cooped up at home there's been a big boom in backyard gardening and tropical fruit cultivation.

@@SleepyLizard well let me give you heads up I am planning to leave my stupid state and be in your state very soon am planning to get 3 and 3 possibly more that is 3 mangoes and 3 avocados if it is not too much trouble would like to be on some kind of waiting list if there is one
3:25 - From now on whenever I hear the word “pollinate” I’m going to feel just a little bit dirty... “...these trees, they LOVE to pollinate...” 😂🤣 I’ve learned more about avocados in the last hour of binging your channel than I ever even knew I didn’t know in the first place... 🤘🏻
Really enjoyed your presentation. I am a commercial Avocado grower in California. my new favorite cultivar is a GEM it has outstanding flavor, a peal a bit thicker than Hass, the tree has an upright structure so I am able to plant many more per acre and they are prolific producers. I must confess I have never eaten a Florida Avocado. One small correction on your comment, we are consuming a bit less than 3 Billion ponds in the US at the moment but lets hope we get to your number soon.
Salvador, thank you for the clarification. A lot of people are asking me for the GEM variety so you are definitely on to something. Have a great evening!
thanks for educating me on avocados , I found your channel about a year ago. Turns out we are both in Florida. I'm in central Florida. I had some mango tree's the cold killed them a few years back. But I'm trying them again, My problem is the seeds have black mold on them when I break them open. I germinate them in a damp paper towel and that makes it worse. And you know how humid it is in out great State of Florida. I started Avocados and Mango's at the same time, My avocados are almost a foot tall already. but my Mango's didn't make it from the black mold. I'm starting them again but I need some help controlling the mold. My wife loves them both. I have some good tasting Avocado's seeds but I would like to try some of your's as well the large one. Do you have or can you make a video on fertilizing both. I know from your past video's you like 666. Thanks for the video's
Jerry, try planting the mango seeds directly in potting soil. Don't bother germinating. Leave the husk on and everything. When they start to grow give the a little mist of copper fungicide every 2-3 weeks to keep the fungus at bay. I'm sorry to hear about the ones that died in the cold. I hate losing trees, lost a lot to Irma 3 years ago. Thank you for the fertilizer vid idea. I've got a few vids i'm working on right now but I'll add that to my list. If you want to try some of our avocados go to www.guacfarm.com around the end of October/early November and we'll have some for sale. Thanks for reaching out. Lemme know how planting Mango direct to soil goes.
My paren'ts house has one tree that is, somehow, inside the house in the patio (I know it doesn't make a lot of sense). It was there when they bought the house and it's produces every year. The fruit is super delicious, I don't know what cultivar it is but it's bigger than the hass and a bit smaller than the Florida varieties. That tree is what triggered my love and plans to start growing all kinds of trees!
BFB, I'd love to see a picture of that tree inside the patio. Also if you wanna email me a pic of your fruit i might be able to ID it...or if not me, one of my friends.
@@SleepyLizard Hey so sorry for not sending the email earlier, I managed to get sone pictures of the tree. If you can give it a look it would be great! How can I send you the pictures?
Your jokes always crack me up. Nice video. :) I think the wording of the explanation of grafted plants was the best by you yet. The clipping continues to grow while the rootstock is there just for the root - simple and easy to understand why the resulting plant grows the fruit you want.
@@SleepyLizard I am glad you see it that way. I've noticed there is a lack of comments talking about the content of videos I watch, so I always try to say something about the things that catch my eye. Be it positive or negative, I feel like such comments are needed to help the creator improve or be assured that what he does is done right.
@@JamesEdington Jim actually both. let's say you have a very cold tolerant rootstock and a cold sensitive graft. The grafted part will not gain cold resistance
@@SleepyLizard ah, makes sense. They continue to be themselves basically haha. I need to get cold tolerant varieties + ones that can handle the intense Las Vegas sun...I'm probably looking for a unicorn. The few I have I've given some shade to get them surviving the summer. Heat isn't so much a problem, but as soon as the sun hits them when it's hot they seem to get fried.
@@JamesEdington yes you have it right. As for your climate, a cold tolerant variety will work as long as you got the budget to irrigate it. Avocados are thirsty and they'll require a lot of watering in Las Vegas.
Informative and hilarious as always! Quick question for you - I just moved to sunny California and bought myself a couple avocado trees (Reed and Sir Prize). They're both about waist high, and the Reed is starting to flower. I've heard that you should remove flowers the first year so the tree can focus on root development, leading to larger harvests in the future years. What's your take on this?
Dan, You are correct. We cut the flowers in the early years so the tree can focus the energy on growth instead of fruit production. It's not necessary but if you cut the flowers you'll have a bigger more productive tree by years 5 and 6.
Very informative. Excellently made!
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it!
Is it possible to have one root tree with different grafting?
yep
1,000 named avocadoes?!?!?!? "Testicle Food" LMBO!!!! Thank you Mr. Hass - those are my favorite!!! Maybe I will be on the lookout for the Lula avocados - very intrigued indeed. Another awesome video filled with great information.
thank you. we'll be sure and save some Lulas for you.
yummmmm
Hass wanted to get rid of that avocado tree, but kept it for the sake of this daughter who convinced him.
Lucky for us
Yes it is true! Me and my family are direct descendant of the Maya and the word avocado does derives from the word auacatl

how much for an small avacado plant? as youve sold me into gettying one for a house plant butr i would like a different species to the normal species

Hi Jim, I like to use the seeds from Lula variety. I also have two Waldin trees and I use those seeds as well, both nice and big.
@@SleepyLizard Thanks! Another question - when grafting, does the tree take on the cold tolerances of the graft or the rootstock?
@@JamesEdington Jim actually both. let's say you have a very cold tolerant rootstock and a cold sensitive graft. The grafted part will not gain cold resistance

Heat isn't so much a problem, but as soon as the sun hits them when it's hot they seem to get fried.
@@JamesEdington yes you have it right. As for your climate, a cold tolerant variety will work as long as you got the budget to irrigate it. Avocados are thirsty and they'll require a lot of watering in Las Vegas.
Informative and hilarious as always! Quick question for you - I just moved to sunny California and bought myself a couple avocado trees (Reed and Sir Prize). They're both about waist high, and the Reed is starting to flower. I've heard that you should remove flowers the first year so the tree can focus on root development, leading to larger harvests in the future years. What's your take on this?
Dan, You are correct. We cut the flowers in the early years so the tree can focus the energy on growth instead of fruit production. It's not necessary but if you cut the flowers you'll have a bigger more productive tree by years 5 and 6.
@@SleepyLizard awesome, thanks for the quick reply!!
