I dont worry until temperatures start dropping into the upper 20’s, but winter is on its way. Follow along the progress of all of my tropical fruit trees by clicking the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON. Have a wonderful day! 🌴
I am planning on planting over 100 avocado trees in the north of Sardinia, where the winter gets under 10 degree Celsius in winter and close to 40 in summer. I don’t the umbrellas will stand up to the Sardinia mistrel winds. A different version that does the same job maybe. Cable system with sliding cloth.
Thanks for the helpful video, Jeff. Can you please make a video about other protecting other young tropicals such as guava, mango, cherimoya, etc? Thanks
Thank you. I planted a new avocado last spring, and it has been flourishing. I'm terrified of the winter. I'm going to try the umbrella. I'll let you know how it goes. What are your thoughts on stringing some Christmas tree lights up on the trunk? Could that be additional help?
Its gets super windy here, not sure an umbrella would stay in place for long. I was thinking I should wrap mine up, but have no idea how to go about doing that
I do live pretty close to Georgia but still living in Florida frosts are not really expected. Especially if you get the ones they grow in the Mexican highlands. Summer or fall hurricanes are much more likely.
I see 40c regularly in my garden. But it’s dry and cools off to 20c most nights. Not sure about commercial varieties but all of the varieties I grow do fine here in summer.

Basically they are interchangeable

I dont string lights, but Ive heard it helps

Ty, just wrapped them up with an old cold frame, fleece and polystyrene sheet 👍

Agreed
Jeff, would you recommend putting down a layer of compost on the soil around palm trees, going into winter?
You bet
Where you been amigo
I’m still here!
I put out a new vid
Protect that new June graft monster keep the fast growth rate going.
The monster graft on main tree is surrounded by mex grande so it’s got the best possible position to be protected
@@TropicalGardenGuy oh I was talking about the avo tree you stumped.
Which commercial avocado varieties are best for hot climates? Here the temperature reaches 40 to 45 degrees
I see 40c regularly in my garden.
But it’s dry and cools off to 20c most nights.
Not sure about commercial varieties but all of the varieties I grow do fine here in summer.
My Gwen is 7-8 ft tall in one season planted this may grew 5 ft and very difficult to protect?
once they get that big, i find that they are hard to protect.
@@TropicalGardenGuyif they are this tall, what would you recommend to protect for a 25-28 degree freeze
What do you do on a cold, windy, and raining night? Remove the canopy and pray? lol
We get plenty of those nights.
Id leave in place . If it’s rainy , then no cold temp worries.
If its windy or rainy, there will be no frost, therefore logically no cover required. Pretty obvious really and no prayer’s required either 🤷🏽♀️
@@marisaphoenix1893that praying thing has never worked in the past
@@marisaphoenix1893 A windy day in Winter will dry out and suck the life out of your sensitive trees.
I guess it depends on where you live.
Wr are quite humid in winter, wind usually means rain is coming or has just ended.
Can you prune avocado plants?
If needed …. Yes
@@TropicalGardenGuy thank you for your reply.
