We just purchased two full size wine barrels to grow our avocado trees. I'm concerned they may get "top heavy" and topple over. Do you think that is possible? I have a Haas and a Fuente about three feet tall, We have drilled holes in the bottoms of the barrels going to add rock to the bottom - then citrus/palm soil and plant in a sunny location in the wine barrels. Do you think this will work for outside planting? Our soil is clay - so cannot plant directly in the ground.
I like the idea of naturally dwarfing them in containers but have you heard of anyone planting the container in the ground permanently to dwarf the tree? Or maybe lining the hole with weed barrier to dwarf the height?
Good idea just post your nursery contact info and where to get pots in your video description then you won't have to keep replying back and people won't keep asking. Why is the youtube category for this info labeled "Comedy?"
How can a person get in contact with you to learn where to get that type of container and what type of soil do you use there's someone that got like a apricotal and it's in a skinny container right now so what type of soil is good and where do you purchase those containers want to grow
@@ScaryHairyGary O shux! We're in Tucson. One day would be great to have an outlet to purchase them in Phoenix or Tucson. Til then we have GroPots but yours are nicer and awesome.
Go to their web site where current inventory is listed along with prices and lots of other useful info. I bought a couple last Sunday, pricey but I couldn't find a quality Reed anywhere else in the area. Paid $300/ea for 15 gallon very healthy looking substantial little trees, the smallest size available....just checked--no Gem listed. I can get decent 5 gallon avo.s local to me (Chico) for $40 but the varieties are very limited. Also you can find limited selection on Amazon for maybe $150 including shipping but the very small healthy Reed I got that way had all the dirt displaced from the root ball dooming the tree due to inadequate packaging and apparent pissed off shipping handlers, they don't like heavy boxes and make sure to brutalize them. golden-gate-palms Make sure you do your homework on avo trees if you haven't already, there are several crucial criteria specific to them surviving/thriving when small.
He did as of about two weeks ago, maybe a dozen. They're little guys in plastic sleeves. I picked up two and put them in pots with the plan of planting them next spring.
I wonder how heavy those suckers are loaded up? I'm planning on making some 24"x24"x24" boxes out of old pallets for the Wurtz variety. Not the easiest getting things in and out of my backyard.
Your trees are great so healthy & lush what fertilizer do you use? What are some Guatemalan or Mexican varieties of advocados they seem to be more resistant to that Wilt disease thats wiping them out
Can these pots be in the ground with the tree. I planted a huass avcado. I didn't think it would survive. Well two years later and it's growing well. It's doubled in size. But I planted it to close to my house. I'm worried about my foundation in the future. Do you have any suggestions 🤔
These planters have been around forever, and once I finally decided to make this video and start selling them, the guy making them went out of business and so now they exist no more. Murphy's Law I guess
Hi Gary how much are the planters ?please I'm Manny and I finally was abloe to buy my house in Brentwood Ca I'll go to your Palm tree business when can just saw your video but its 534pm sat thanks for videos
@@ScaryHairyGary thank you so much! I turn 66 yrs old in August and I planted my first garden last June 20, 2021 it’s doing well but I have a lot to learn again thanks for responding.
Hey Gary I love all your shows. I have 5 avocado trees in 24x24x30" pot what should the percent of moisture in the soil? 0-100% I have wifi monitoring and would like to know at what percentage I should water. 35-45 percent? Thank you
Can the avocado tree be covered on those nights when the weather is too cold? I'm in Sacramento. We don't get too cold, but during winter, there are the occasional 30 degree nights.....
You could always cover them to protect them from extreme cold events, but even the most tender avocados are hearty to about 28° and even with those tender trees if the temperatures drops a few more degrees they will simply die back a little and sprout out in spring.
You can cover it with Christmas lights (incandescent not led) in the winter months to keep the tree warm - I live in roseville and that’s what’s kept our avocado tree alive
The square wood containers are better than those black ones, and look way nicer. The Black ones will be too hot in the summer. I would just make one myself out of wood and line it with rubber epdm pond or roofing liner so the wood lasts decades.
The gem he has are basically just clippings. They're in small plastic sleeves. When I bought mine about 2 weeks ago he had about a dozen left. Gem is hard enough to find as it is and when you do you're going to pay. Supply and demand.
Were you a child prodigy and graduated at 16? If not being a parent and a step-parent to 2 self-proclaimed born again mormons I was aware as were their black Mormon mom of the sex, booze, and caffeine (me being catholic had no idea what?TF)Christ himself wouldn’t have made it past 10:15 am without a belly full of Coffee on that sacred Friday
My apologies latter-day Saints is the proper term not Mormon. BTW glad to know mom was down with def leopard, mom’s love the not letting loosing your left arm to stopping you to fulling your dreams & to be elevated to the divine status of the thunder god, by millions of adoring fans. Well, maybe not the sacrilegious elevation to divine status of a careless boater.
I live in Colorado and have a really small avocado "tree" that I got started in a glass of water last fall. I've pinched it back twice and the first time it grew a second branch right on top. But the second time it didn't do anything. Plus when I put it in the sun the leaves have burnt off. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to make it grow?
Hi, please never place a young tree in the sun. When young they needs lots of protection. Also if the tree has roots, it is time to plant it in soil. Water will make the roots weak. Good Luck
And where did you get these plastic containers??
Thank you for all the important info. We're waiting for how & when to get those containers pls.
I've found that black fabric pots do the same thing. I grow my avocados in 20 gal. pots (with handles) The pots are cheap. To each his own =)
Any issues with transplanting bags
Where do you get these containers

Do you ship these containers? I'm in Louisiana. Or can you tell me where to buy these in my area?
What is the name of those containers? If you don't have any more, could you tell me what they are called so maybe I can locate one elsewhere?
Hello Gary
Where can I buy these
36” black containers
I like the idea of naturally dwarfing them in containers but have you heard of anyone planting the container in the ground permanently to dwarf the tree? Or maybe lining the hole with weed barrier to dwarf the height?
I have heard. One guy does it here to keep them dwarfed in his wind tunnels.
We have them 80 feet plus in Florida 😂not all are created for equal however

Can I cut a branch on my avocado plant and grow it in a pot or it will die? I mean prune it and replant the pruned branches. Thanks!
Hello, that would not work. You need to air layering at minimum.
ORGANICS BEST URBAN GARDNER what is air layering?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if the branch is young enough 🤷♀️
Yes you can. www.hunker.com/13426691/how-to-grow-avocado-trees-from-cuttings

do you recommend using typical potting soil in potted avacado trees? or is it better to use a soilless medium?
