great tip, i will have to try it out! have you used this on your mango too? i see from the bottle it is good for all plants. i know you likely don’t have this problem, but can you please do a video on what to do if you get mites or other issues with your trees?
I am in central California and they are hard to grow here..look at my videos its a fight lol. In northern California like Redding or such I would not try it unless its the most hardy and you need to baby it to survive.
Here is a video I did some time back I have a few others. Make the best avocado and citrus container soil. Just Do It! th-cam.com/video/mvf-_6MA_wQ/w-d-xo.html
Gary matsuka from "Garys best gardening mentioned" that spraying sugar water to avacado leaves promotes growth. He also mentioned that spraying sugar water on flowers attracted bees. he mentioned that spraying sugar water promoted photo synthesis. What is your opinion sir? ty

Do you know that avocado leaves tea is very delicious? Put 4/5 avocado leaves in one liter of water then boil. This tea is also a natural medicine for diarrhea. I keep avocado tree here in Italy only for this purpose ( if I can't have fruits, I am happy with the leaves)
I have been using fish emulsion on the leaves for years. I did the Hass tree with the Heavy 16 foliar to see what it would do compared to fish food. It’s still a lot cheaper to use the fish emulsion
You’re getting Alaska 5.1.1 for $10 a gallon? I just paid $24 at Lowe’s. Where are you getting yours at that price, because I just got ripped off at Lowe’s.
Will fish emulsion make a potted avocado tree produce a lot more? Mine is about 6 feet including the 15 gallon pot and am told to expect only 5 avocados if left In pot. Would like more fruit. The roots are getting crowded in pot Thx
dude you worse then me haha...I though I went avocado overboard, you have what 6 NEW varities lol. Yes i know i know its an addiction. I was about to do a similar video myself in a few weeks, look into "yucca" its basically an organic Surfactant and helps keep the liquid on the leaf. its cheap and works well. How many do you have now i have 14 all and all in various stages of life and death lol
@@TheElsinoreGardener I would probably have alot more if i was by those specialty nurseries. I grab what i can from lowes or home depot thats about it, my nursery's dont even want to deal with them because of the death rate up here. (1 in 15 lives)
I feed mine avocado trees alaskan fish emulsion and kelp seaweed every other week and this year has grown over 4’ .
Love those
We're they in the ground or containers?
Fish Emulsion is great tip.
I find that a spray bottle works better for foliar feeding small trees.
I tried misting it on, but sometimes there a chunks that get stuck, so I pour it over the leaves.
@@TheElsinoreGardener😅 awsome like the amazing knowledge. You guys are amazing! God i love good help
I like that, "Little Spirits of the Stank". Thanks for showing your very healthy Avocados. Your nursey video was so cool, I need to check them out.
Thanks
If you own a fish tank just pour a litre or so over your plants amazing results and its free!
?
Wow! this looks great I will have to try it, leaves on my avocado plant are turning brown maybe this will help. Thanks for sharing
best of luck with your trees
Wow wonderful amazing 😍
Thanks

No, never tried it on the mango
Intriguing, I was under the impression avocado leaves didn't absorb foliar sprays too well. But the results speak for themselves
I’ve heard both but I think my little experiments prove to me that it helps. I just hope to pass my experiences along.
Big solar panels....sooo cool sir👏👏👏👏👏
That they are👌
Yup. Solar panels and water pumps.
Great video will start tonight!
Any idea of your soil Ph??
Any soil amendments?
Thanks again for your time and expertise!🙏🏻
I have many video's on care, check them out
I am trying this with Kellog Fish & Kelp Fertilizer with Molasses. Thanks for the advice!
Just make sure you do it at sundown. Good growing
@@TheElsinoreGardener I just sprayed with mister! I sure stink!
what a collection ! N CA doesn't have such a collection to pick from
I am in central California and they are hard to grow here..look at my videos its a fight lol. In northern California like Redding or such I would not try it unless its the most hardy and you need to baby it to survive.
They would need more attention and a cover type to survive up there.
Great show ! We I have 2 small 2 year old grafted read trees when can I expect fruit ?? And why are all the leaf tips turning brown???
They should flower next year, holding fruit depends how strong the trunk and limbs are. The leaves turn brown and drop every year.
Fantastic video...thank you
Thanks
Would you please share the recipe for your avocado soil...thanx, Debra
Here is a video I did some time back
I have a few others.

Interesting. Seems like a pump sprayer would be more efficient. Better coverage and less waste.
I use a little hand held sprayer

Gary is the smartest man I have talked with. I have followed him for years. Try everything he talks about and you will get results. I have.
great video. excellent content 👌
Thanks Will. We need to do a video together
Hi, your avocados looks awesome. By any chance can u tell me where you bought those 15Gal container? TY
I bought the 20 gallon black round containers at a hydroponic store. And the brown at Costco
May i know whats the name of the hydro store?
Will this keep insects away? I'm having trouble with bug eating my tree leaves.
No it won’t.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Where did you buy Gem avocado tree?
Got it from Adam Tropics in Temecula Ca.

Only those trees whose leaves taste like anise (Mexican varieties). I think Julie Frink talks about this in one of her videos
Jan Boyce!! I'm sooo envious! 😆🤣 Your trees look awesome.
Thanks
1:53 he shows the foliar jug used first. Heavy 16 🎉🎉
Yes
Why not use a sprayer for your foliage feeding instead?
I have but this does the same thing and is faster when I do it. Watch for a new video on an atomizer I’m going to try.
So if I want the avocados I don't pour that on the plant?? My plant is about 3 ft tall right now still a baby
Keep the fertilizer in the roots for now.
Have you done a control test with the fish emulsion yet? What is the ingredient in Heavy 16?
I have been using fish emulsion on the leaves for years. I did the Hass tree with the Heavy 16 foliar to see what it would do compared to fish food. It’s still a lot cheaper to use the fish emulsion
@@TheElsinoreGardener so your verdict is Heavy 16 perform just as well as fish emulsion but way cheaper?
My neighbors can deal with the smell....I deal with the smell of their cats poop in my mulch 😂 What do you use to make your trees fruit?
@@TheElsinoreGardener with the control, where you putting the fish emulsion in the soil? Or not at all?
How often do you do the foliar feed?
Everyone always warns about the smell.... I’m too chicken to find out. 🥴
I do it about once every 3 weeks. It is smelly that night but will be better in the morning.
@@TheElsinoreGardener Do you have problems with cats/pests being attracted to the fish smell?
You’re getting Alaska 5.1.1 for $10 a gallon? I just paid $24 at Lowe’s. Where are you getting yours at that price, because I just got ripped off at Lowe’s.
May have been less when I did the video
Can the hass in the 15 gall give avocado? Or too small of a container?
Yes it can. You will have to keep it watered and fertilized but you will need to plant it after a year or two
Can you please tell me where you get the gallon of Fish Emulsion for $10? I think I paid $20 at the local bix store. Thanks
I have been looking for it and it seems the big box stores are out of it. I’m sure the prices are higher now too. 😒
Can you help me with my avo trees? They don't look very good. I'm wondering what my best course of action should be.
email me, its in my about page
Also I noticed you have a GEM avocado where can I get one?
I got mine at Adam Tropics in Temecula Ca.
The last thin tree there are so many flower...How old tree is it?
That is a Reed avocado and it’s been in ground about 8 months. It’s probably 2 years old I would guess.
@@TheElsinoreGardener do you have to have two avocado trees to produce fruit
How often you use the fish emulsion on the leaves per week
In the summer I don’t use it as often. Once a month in the evenings only. In spring I use it like once a week. Not at all in the fall and winter.
Why not in the winter
@@ricardomercado308 avocado's are dormant in the winter. You don't want to supercharge leaf growth at a time when it doesn't get much sun
Do you have to have two avocado trees to produce fruit
The short answer is no. But, it “can” improve pollination according to some studies. In So. California it’s not necessary
@@TheElsinoreGardener thanks for the reply ..Perris ca
This product is great but instead of pouring all over I actually spray it on the leaves.
I like to pour. The excess gets to the roots where it absorbs better too. Using all the angles
how often do you apply your fish emulsion
At least once a week. Less in the winter
So do you only foliar feed every few weeks?
Jeb Trillio not as much during the heat of summer. More often in the spring. I use the fish emulsion more on the roots during summer.
@@TheElsinoreGardener is that because new growth will burn?
I wonder you have so many avocados
This year we will have more
Will fish emulsion make a potted avocado tree produce a lot more? Mine is about 6 feet including the 15 gallon pot and am told to expect only 5 avocados if left In pot. Would like more fruit. The roots are getting crowded in pot
Thx
They won’t get more than that is a 15 gallon container
Hi bro, just a quick question... Have you ever used epson salt in your soil?
I watch your videos from Tijuana, Mexico and I realy like your tips.
No I haven’t. The soil I use and make is a Ph neutral soil. I keep fertilizer to worn castings, citrus/avocado fertilizer water and fish emulsion
dude you worse then me haha...I though I went avocado overboard, you have what 6 NEW varities lol. Yes i know i know its an addiction.

I do have a few varieties that's for sure. But less than others

@@G.G.T. was the death rate so high?
@@davidschmidt270 overwater, extreme heat and slight frost/freeze. II am in a 9b zone right on the fringe!
why cant u put on flowering leaves
The smell will not let bees go to them
What potting soil do you use for your avocado trees.
I use Top Pot from Laguna Hills nursery and make my own sand heavier blend similar to it. Check out my last video on the soil blend I make.
Kellogg's: ' Palm, Cactus & Citrus' is a good base start, add whatever, gravel, sand, peralite. This base is a good draining mixture. Good luck.
How long did it take to flower
that same year, also has a good fruit set now, we'll see what holds
Are those dwarf trees? Are they all in 4 gallon pots
No they will grow as much as I allow them to. I’ll prune them to a manageable size later on.
Fish emulsion for $10? Where?
😀 it’s an old video
Or use a spray bottle
Yes Sir Yes Sir
This fish emulsion stinks really bad...
Yup
