The Legendary NABAL Avocado Tree!

- I came face to face with a living legend, the NABAL Avocado Tree. This is an excellent historic variety that helped launch the avocado craze in California, which then spread to the rest of the world. This tree is old, but extremely productive. Possibly one of the best tasting avocado varieties available. Join me as I stare slack jawed at this majestic beauty.

I like your videos, am fascinated by these old varieties.
I am also fascinated!
Man that's a great nabal avocado tree
Incredible tree, what's a fella gotta do to get you to send them a cutting?! Pleaaaase
That sure is an amazing tree. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks!
Nabal is a great variety and they are huge! To me they taste very similar to Reed. I love Reed. I have a Nabal tree but its too young to make fruit. I hope it will fruit this coming Spring. I have a few Reed trees. Two of my reed are young and one of my trees is older and it has its first fruit set. Nabal is a tree that should be cherished and I am afraid that it is only going to be harder and harder to find. We have to keep this variety going. Great video AJ
Yes indeed. I’m trying to graft as much Nabal as I can, just to preserve it and be able to distribute scions and trees in the future. I agree, it should be cherished

So awesome! I am buying a nabal tree this weekend 😎👍
It’s a great variety. Enjoy👍🏽🌱🌳
Beautiful tree🤩
So much of fruits 🥑🥑🥑
Wish one day my all Avocado trees give me lots of fruit too😊
Thanks for sharing 👍
Like your video 👍
Thanks! I hope you get lots of avocados from your trees
Great video AJ, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Johnny!
Ola irmao Aj. Love this video, beautiful tree the Nabal! Love to get some grafting wood from that tree that's special. Lot of history there one of the most important aspects to me. Whenever I find trees like that I always try to reproduce them.
Meu Irmão. Obrigado.
Absolutley love your videos! After your nabal vs Reed avocado taste I ordered 2 of each tree.. I am in Florida and I know they do not do too well in Fl.. but your video convinced me.
But I love how you tell a bit of history and pass on information! Thank you so much!!
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. Keep me updated on how your Nabal and Reed do in Florida
After seeing and hearing your introduction I was really waiting for you to cut a fruit for us to imagine the flavor and texture and color!
I might do a taste test once they ripen. I did a taste test video of Nabal about a year ago. It’s on my channel
🥑👍
👍🏼🥑
Cool find. Have you seen anyone successfully (produce fruit) container grow a Nabal? I’ve got my 5 gallon Nabal I bought a couple months ago up potted to a 24” container now. Plan on uppotting it maybe in a year or two to a 36” or 48” box. Don’t have space to put it in the ground.
It’s possible sure, as long as it’s in the right soil
AJ, make a video on how to prune avocado tree, especially a sapling
Hi AJ, can I ask what kind of picker basket thingy you were using in the beginning of the video? I am not that hapoy with my picker and need to look for a better one.
Hi Brad. I'll ask the owner about it and let you know. I plan to go back there soon.
good video AJ
Thanks Brad
Goo goo gaga
Where did you buy that fruit picker from? I've been trying to find one like that for a long time now.
Not sure. Wasn't mine. Belongs to the property owner, and the picker has been there for decades. Not sure if that style is still available anymore
wow! What makes it so different? Flavor? Hardiness?
Flavor, texture, oil content, lack of stringy fibers
I will be requesting you to graft onto my 5-6 yr old tree in September. Want to put 2-3 varieties on my one tree, (grown from store bought hass avocado)
Sounds good ☘️
Any chance you “accidentally” knocked off some scion wood? 😉
I was about to ask the same thing 😂
Maybe next time 🙂
Hi, is it possible for Nabal to flower around this time?
Depends. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere (Chile, South Africa, Australia, etc.) or anywhere near the equator, then yes it could flower at this time
@@AJTheGraftMan Central Coast Cali, I guess what I’m seeing are not flower buds. Thanks.
Aj I really want some budwoods or saplings of different varieties of avocado. Am from India. Pl let me know how we can connect
Is that tree grafted ones? or from seed
That would be a grafted tree as the original Nabal tree is in Guatemala.
@@aaronevans5209 a bit doubting.... how on earth grafted tree soo tall ...
@@dani.afiiq_ maybe it was not soo tall in 1930-1940

Hello...
Hi 👋
Update avocado 4 varietas on 1 tree
We love Reed Avos, Hass are rubbish in comparison
Reed is great yes. Hass are great too, but in most cases they're picked early so they don't reach their peak flavor.
@@AJTheGraftMan Agreed, we find that Hass is overproduced and often controlled by the Supermarkets where demand drives varieties, picking times, then refrigeration prior to ripening which causes fruit to rot before fully ripening. We love the arrival of Reed, Sharwell, Sheperd etc from local growers, unfortunately commercial growers don;t explore these varieties... again courtesy of the Supermarket giants!
Shepard is more common in Australia, so is Sharwil. I am curious if you are located in Australia.
Also, I would agree Hass from most supermarkets is mediocre. I am curious if you have ever tried Hass at optimum maturity from a local tree or farmer's market ?
@@kenzangeobio3054 Yes we're in Australia. We have eaten Hass from Farmers Markets, but as the Supermarkets push Hass, the markets often have more interesting varieties so Hass are less common there.
