That tree is gorgeous! Reed is my my favorite variety hands down.
Thanks for sharing. I bought three reed avocado fruits three years ago in November. Like the taste so much I threw all three seeds outside in a clay pot and forgotten about them. Lo and behold all three sprouted nicely in the spring. Now I have three reeds growing separately. Look forward to see the first blooms in the future.
Hey Greg, Thanks for sharing your "valuable" information. I've learned so much from your videos. I'm planning on planting a Reed as my next avocado tree. Good to know that the Reed can tolerate heat and the chloride better than my current Carmen Hass.
Love the avo vids, please keep them coming 👍🏻🥑
The tree looks great! 👍 I love Reed avocado fruit.
Just picked one up & am gonna plant it in the ground in a week. Can't wait to taste the fruit.
I have been searching for a Reed Avocado tree for the last year and stumbled across some Reeds at Walmart of all places. I bought one and am excited to get it planted. I have a Gopher Guard wire basket I have been saving for this moment. Vista, California.
Hi Richard, Great find. Best of luck with the Reed. Vista is a great place to grow an avocado; and the original Reed grew over in neighboring Carlsbad.
Reed is a late bloomer which is highly desirable in cool temperate microclimates. When (not "if") Spring temperatures are cool early flowering cultivars may fail to set fruit - so Reed is the standout winner.
This is a good point, John. I live in such a place. My nightly lows in spring are often too chilly for early-blooming varieties to set well and for B-type varieties to open flowers in the female phase. But Reed always sets much fruit for me because its bloom peaks so late, when temperatures have warmed.
Good info, lost my reed to wet windstorm, will replace and manage it better.
Ok! I am green with envy!😊
Hi Wai-Ling! I hope your Reed gets growing this summer.
Hey Greg, I noticed reed sets fruit from flower really fast compared to my bacon for example. So much so the reed bloom was 6 weeks later than bacon and now is on par setting fruit with bacon. I see so many little green matchstick head size fruit developing on my reed. Im yet to have a reed fruit. My big question is, if a fruitlet develops, does it mean its been sufficiently pollinated ? Im thinking does the reed show tiny fruitlets regardless of pollination or not?? I would love to know. Thanks
HI Greg, I love all your videos. Where is the best place to buy a Reed 15 gal ?
Hi Nancy, Check out this post: gregalder.com/yardposts/where-to-buy-an-avocado-tree/
Great profile. My Reed is in my lawn and away from all other avocados and has set lots of fruit in it's second season. Last year I looked at your neighbor's windmill (the tall one) but can't see any water tanks. Is it a working windmill?
Hi Roger, Good to hear your Reed is doing well. I love Reed's reliability. Yes, that's a working windmill in my neighbor's yard.
Is it adaptif in low altitude.My place was below 50 meter
Hi, very Nice video, i have 1 hass and 1 fuerte . I want to get one more avocado tree, and its gonna be either lamb or reed. I just wanna know which one gets bigger and taller please ? Because the tree size is very important to me, thank you.
Reed usually grows bigger than Lamb.
I thought I was done buying trees, but now I may have to reconsider getting a Reed. Thanks for the info. P.S. where did you get those engraved tree signs?
Hi Linda,
I have finally admitted to myself that I'll never be done buying trees. I can't count how many times in the past I told my wife that a certain tree was the last I would need.
My brother and sister-in-law make those engraved signs, but not just for me. Check them out here: www.etsy.com/listing/607631552/the-yard-posts-garden-marker-tree-sign?ref=related-1

Reed ana nabal have the best looking trees and leaves .
Hi Greg, great vids. I have a small grafted Reed A which I planted about 1 year ago. I'm guessing 2 to 3 years old. I'm in the sub tropics, North East of Australia. about 8 mile from the coast. The tree is a little over 3 feet high now and looks to be growing well. I was not expecting flowers this yeah but it seems to be exploding in buds right now. I'm after some advice, I'm fairly sure the best thing to do is remove them but I'm not sure where to cut the buds? There are many vertical bud stalks with what looks like new leaf growth beginning in the middle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Could I leave just one?? I'm eager for a taste. Thanks in advance mate.
I usually let small avocado trees flower and set fruit rather than removing flowers because they almost always drop the fruitlets on their own. If your tree is healthy and three feet tall, you could certainly let it mature a single fruit as long as it is staked or has a strong trunk since Reed fruit get big. It will likely slow the growth of the tree a bit, but I totally understand wanting to try a fruit as soon as possible.
@@gregalderdotcom Thank you very much Greg. I appreciate your time and your knowledge.
Hi Greg...I love your sharing video. I have any question about fertilize your avocado plant. How many time to fertilize per year ? Organic or anorganic ? Thanks so much.
Hi, Thank you. See this video here: th-cam.com/video/zzzU12rwTDk/w-d-xo.html
@@gregalderdotcom okay. Thank's, Greg.
When should I plant mine reed and can I plant two in the same hole? They are 5 gallon and what would be the benefit

I have a problem with this years crop, the crows have just about decimated all my fruit this year. they destroyed the fruit while they were flowers. :) normally I have a bounty crop. as I am in Australia I have fruit normally about now (summer) but not this year. I have about 1/2 dozen I see on my tree. like I said in another video. My tree is over the top of my house. 5 metres tall.
Si me gustaria poner un reed en casa
When does the fruit of any avocado variety stop increasing in size?
The day you pick it. Really. Even once the fruit is mature it still inches a tiny bit larger and larger. Like if you look at a Reed avocado in June it might look pretty big but it will get even slightly bigger if left until October.
¿Tira el fruto en invierno a 32°f?
Hola David, I've only seen damage to mature Reed fruit at temperatures below 30F.
how months reed can be pick?
Hi Sansan, In Southern California, Reeds are prime for about three months but are acceptable for about four or five, depending on how mild the climate is. (The fruit hangs better for longer in locations close to the ocean.)
@@gregalderdotcom thank u very much sir.. so four and five months from flowering or small fruit sir
Would you be willing to sell scion wood of all your varieties?
I could possibly make any unpatented varieties available. Which are you interested in? You might also check on Tropical Fruit Forum for avocado scion wood.
@@gregalderdotcom I'd be interested in obtaining Reed scionwood from you. Please let me know
@@publiuszero79 Hi Rodney, Sorry but I'm going to have to refer you over to Tropical Fruit Forum. My Reed took some damage in a cold night on Feb. 5 and I'm not sure about the viability of the buds on many outer limbs.
Hi Greg... Thanks for the great video. I am from Indonesia. I want to have some trees of reed avocado. Can you help me please to buy grafted seeds? Or caan you send me some branchless for grafting to me? Thank you for your attention... 🙏🙏
Hi Andreas, Please visit Tropical Fruit Forum and make a request for Reed scions. It's likely you'll be able to find someone to ship them to you there.
@@gregalderdotcom 👍👍
