I had an avocado tree for 15 years. Never made fruit. True story i was about to cut it down then saw the fruit. Now year after year we get enough avocados 2 feed the family for months and extra to sell or give away.
1. Have free draining soil with lots of organic matter (leaf litter, bark - stuff you would find on the forest floor) 2. Protect from wind (avoid planting in areas that are exposed to high winds) 3. Protect from the cold (apply heavy duty frost cloth or grow in a greenhouse)
The fact that people can grow avocado trees at home blows my mind since I'm not in the right climate to do so. When I see Avocado trees on vacation with fruit they just look so good!
Yeah well done - good video! I'm doing this but I've found even my (what I thought was) big mounds still weren't big enough to promote a good growing mix on top of my clay and it tended to sink so now I've gone 4 x 6 trailer load with all the extra points mentioned in the video. So far so good!
But you added lime to make it “sweet” or alkaline, re read the agriculture dept’s guidelines “only use lime when heavily acidic”, avos like it slightly acid. Your avos will keep failing otherwise.
I remember our neighbor in CA had a HUGE avocado tree that would even hang over the fence. They’d let us pick anything on our side so we always enjoyed great avocados. I remember having to knock them down with 10-15ft long pvc pipes my dad was using for construction
You can also paint the trees with dilute latex paint to protect from sun or spray the tree with kaolin powder suspension. We have about 500 Hass trees. Also if you have one tree in your yard and you want a LOT of fruit, it's best to have it grafted with another variety with of out-of-phase flowers (A type and B type).
is it enough with having type A and B flowers in the vicinity or do you need bees to help with the pollination? I've read that it helps a lot, I wonder how much of a difference does it make I have a few trees and they produce without (AFAIK) the help of insects
Growing mine in baking hot Adelaide, South Australia, it is now 4 yrs old and I grafted Haas onto it when it was 2 years old, the summers here are long hot and dry with minimal humidity so I keep my tree well mulched and shaded on hot sunny days, I never over water and make sure the soil never dries out, I am sure my tree will flower next spring ( Sept 2020 )
Even if you are unable to get your avocado tree to fruit, the leaf makes a delicious, anis-like tea that acts as a kidney cleanse, traditionally used in SE Asia.
Thanks this was clear and to the point. Do you have a video of how you go about pruning your avocado to keep it small with full size fruit or are there now dwarf varieties? I’m in Melbourne Australia
VERY informative vlog!! And also VERY true! Everything said here is GOSPEL!! I started a couple plants from the seed last year and had em in our windows inside, and the start of nice weather I took em outside and just 1/2 a day of direct sunlight burnt the leaves on the bigger plant (the smaller one I planted under the protection of my bamboo). The big one is recovering since I put it's planter under with the smaller plant and now like the video said it's just a matter of making sure they get enough water.
how are those trees going 5 years later? btw growing from seed without grafting is unlikely to lead to good quality yields the trees will still be nice though
@curve your toes Christians No one wants you to interject religion into a conversation about avocados. That is not the way to "witness" to people. That is a way to make people resent Christians. Your tactic does the opposite of your intention.
Mark talks about how the clay level in his soil causes root rot, and the avo's Native soil is moist Black humus and has good air flow... a sorta good air/bacteria verses bad air/bacteria struggle Id say. (aquaculture interests)
Growing two in Darlington N.E. England, at 3 years old they are 4 foot tall. I take them indoors in the winter, we get down to -8 and further. In summer they take their chance outdoors.
Some Avocado trees will survive down to -11°C and still bear fruit the next Summer. The key is to sprout several seeds and plant them in pots. After a year or so, plant them outdoors in the spring (after danger of frost is over) and see which ones survive the following winter. There is an article on Medium.com about growing your own Avocado tree in a cooler climate. The article is titled: The B.C. Avocado Project.
I just dug up a tree about that same size that a neighbor was getting rid of. Can you provide me some guidance on replanting? How big of a hole? What blend of soil should I buy from a garden shop? I live near the pacific coast in So. CA and my native dirt is dark and sandy.
When growing up in Puerto Rico, avocado trees were everywhere. People would give their avocados away because there were so many. Same with mango trees. I miss those days
3 avocados in the market today............$12 freaking bucks! Such BS Juez. Thank god i just bought a small farm in Costa Rica. I have 4 avocado trees going. Time to get back to growing our own food.
i have 3 avocado tree 1 of them almost on the principal trunk something look like dry white powder om the corner of the trunk but when touch by hand look like somehow wett and the trunk is not green , a crusty trunk any advise about that
Hi, I am growing an avacado tree right now its a little sapling, it's about 1 foot tall I started to snip off the top leaves so now it has developed more little branches and begining to look bushy, I live in the aried dessert Southwest of the United States, what I want to know is when will it be safe to plant it outside? . I keep it in the front window of my kitchen were it gets plenty of sun, not the harsh sun but the defused sunlighting that streams into the kitchen. Summer's get extremely hot here in the dessert and I am afraid the little sapling will get fried. Shall I continue to keep it indoors for another year? Thank you for taking time to reply.
I a growing a sapling indoors at the moment. I live in North Georgia, USA and I am worried about planting it outside. The climate is fine for them in the spring and summer, but I worry about the fall and winter where it can often get below 36 degrees Fahrenheit. What do I do during the chilly months? Just keep them covered all the time?
I'm living in Costa Rica with a rainy season, would I need to make mounds and use good draining/sandy soil to prevent root damage, and keep them watered during the dry season? And obvs mulch so during dry season moisture is maintained, and during wet season, the rain floods away without getting into the soil too much?
I just got a Lila Avocado tree here in zone 9. Do I really have to plant it next to my South wall or can I plant it out in the open near the canopy of my large oak tree where I have my mango trees?
I live in California's Central Valley just south of Fresno. I planted two Avocado trees, one Pinkerton and one Jim Bean. My question is how hot does it need to get to place a shade net over them? It is May and already 82 degrees F. Shall I wait until it reaches 100? What temp do you recommend to put a Shade net?
great channel thank you! We need to relocate an avocado tree that is around 3 years old. It's growing right above where our borehole is and we're concerned about the roots disturbing the borehole pump. Please advise - I'm in south Africa - thank you.
Need some advice I planted a avocado seed and didnt think was going to grow but did I let it grow for maybe 4 to 5 months was very healthy almost 2 feet long.. but it was in a spot I knew had to be moved so one day i dug around it and got it out having to cut some roots that were going pretty deep down but still the seed was still there and some roots so I stuck in a new location and now a week later my poor tree went from being so healthy now looking like its dying... I know It can be normal but now leaves are completely dry and I'm worried because at very top its turning black the tip of the tree but the trunk still is firm but dont want the black to spread should I cut it or just leave it alone??? Thanks for any tips appreciate it
Great video, I have an Etinger Avocado in Israel, Last year I got hundreds of flowers and small Avocados, but most of them fell, and only 6 survived. They were huge and delicious. How can I get much more to hang on this year? Thanks Blessings.
I had a year old tree that was big and full of leaves. It flowered and produced around twenty small avacados that all fell off and within a month, lost all of their leaves and was dead within two months.
I have avocado trees growing in my yard that the squirrels planted from pits I threw out for them to eat. I need to cut them down because they're going to get HUGE. I lived in Mexico some years back and avocado trees there were ginormous! My yard isn't large enough for them! I see that your tree is small. Do you cut it back & it stays that small? Or is it a dwarf tree? I would love to have fresh avocados at the ready, but I can't really let them take over my yard & shade off my garden. Any suggestions??? Also, how old do the trees have to get to begin producing? I live in Florida.
@daleysfr can you tell me how to root cuttings from my avocado tree? I have a few stems and branches left from a 40 year old tree that died. I want to propagate and see if I can grow another tree from the cuttings. What do you recommend?
I live in southern west coastal Florida. Rich compost soil is a pipe dream here. I really wish these videos would say where they are posted from up front
i bought grafted avocado plant from Daleys Nursery before three month. not yet start sprouting. Anyway can you please tell me how old they are now? its around 65cm.
Hi After watching this vid, I went to have a look at Marks "self sufficient me" on TH-cam as he pointed out a "normal Australian soil" problem that a lot of us have coz most of us dont try to cover the best volcanic land with concrete mega houses like dopey surfie hippies... (cough Byron, Ballina)
Really beautiful. Thank you from Antonio Goa, India.Keep it going. I have 1 grafted and 2 Avocado trees from seeds growing healthy. Hope to do mulching for retaining the moisture this summer as the temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius in the afternoon
I realised now that I have avocado in my house. I placed a seed a year ago in a pot in my living room, and forgot about it, a plant has grown there and now I remembered while watching a cartoon with my little cousins.
Great video , I live in uk , I've grown 3 indoors so far about 2 ft tall, my question is will they survive outside all year round here, our winters are cold but wet mostly , would the frost be a problem ,? What's the lowest they can indure? Our winters vary but an average of minus 5 Celsius I guess. Regards Lee
Hi LeePY. How are the trees doing? Did you try them outside? I'm also in the UK and have 4 pots on my windowsill. It's too late to get them outside now (November) but maybe next year in the Spring
Great vid. How do you prevent the tree from growing in height? I know the avocado trees need to grow at its fullest and to have a thick trunk in order to produce fruit. You prove me wrong.
Hi there I have a question. Do you have to have more then one avo tree to get the 'fruit'. I was told I had to have at least 2 trees before they could pollinate and fruit, like a kewi fruit tree. ThaNks
That's an excellent amount of information. I had several tree starts... and the llama decided she could eat it's succulent leaves and stems... and .... she's gone to another home now.... I wish I had them back.. I am looking forward to trying this.
I just bought 2 dwarfs. I dont have a clue what Im doi g. One arrived green and plush and the other is dark curly leaves and a bit crackely. They have wrapped root balls. What do I do now? The seller saidto keep them in a bucket with water and inside for 2 weeks. Im in Southeast Texas, south of Houston
I used to live in the lower Puna district of the Big Island of Hawaii. The land there is recent lava flow with very thin soil, or no soil at all. I could put an avocado seed on the bare lava ground, and it would grow. It would send roots right through that rock. The conditions were so perfect, it was hard to keep them down. I used to mutilate and butcher young trees, and they'd just bounce right back.
Thank are you for this advice I have bought and lost about 6 Avocados before I began planting them as I did not have the area ready. Even if I had ofwatching your video I would have still lost them I live in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland do you send plans to there, on the computer at the library of often looked at your catalogue and it makes my mouth water there's a lot of plants that I would like to buy from you kindest regards

Can you make a video of your avocado tree
@@nathalialavelle1603 Sure i can! I have a few passion fruit vines going up it :) I want to get an oil press to make some avocado oil !!
Sounds like it was grown from a seed, they often take a long time to fruit.
@@FukushimaRadiation ok but what zone are you in?
@@tylerrock1453 zone 10
I live in Mexico and the Avocados Trees are wild. We have the Trees everywhere, We are lucky in Mexico.
Hall or Has avocados?
Kindly inform me if it is possible to grow some avocado trees from seeds. Will they produce fruit when they are mature likely 5-8 yrs later?
what part of Mexico? Southern California we have them all over our neighborhoods too.
+Shirley Young from seed to fruit, could be as long as 15 years

What a sweetheart, loves her Avocado Trees and great at telling us how to love them -
1. Have free draining soil with lots of organic matter (leaf litter, bark - stuff you would find on the forest floor)
2. Protect from wind (avoid planting in areas that are exposed to high winds)
3. Protect from the cold (apply heavy duty frost cloth or grow in a greenhouse)

Where I live:

2. Burry the seed anywhere you want
3. Come back after 4 years
4. Pick avocados
5. It is that simple

Do you have to regrow an avocado tree every time there is no more avocados or does the tree just grow more avocados without you having to do anything?
What is your advice for growing in containers
Which type of soil is useful to grow avacado?
Can you build a box around to hold the mound up?
Really beautiful. Thank you from Antonio Goa, India.Keep it going. I have 1 grafted and 2 Avocado trees from seeds growing healthy. Hope to do mulching for retaining the moisture this summer as the temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius in the afternoon
Your information is really very beneficial. Thanks so much for providing important information. I also provide information related to gardening.
I realised now that I have avocado in my house. I placed a seed a year ago in a pot in my living room, and forgot about it, a plant has grown there and now I remembered while watching a cartoon with my little cousins.
Can you use moist soil? Like soil next to lake?
Great information thanks
Interesting. Love this thanks
What distance between plants should be maintained? How tall they get?
Wow healthy fruits nice to meet you new friend watching your video
Yummy looking avocados.
Thank you!!!!
Great video , I live in uk , I've grown 3 indoors so far about 2 ft tall, my question is will they survive outside all year round here, our winters are cold but wet mostly , would the frost be a problem ,? What's the lowest they can indure? Our winters vary but an average of minus 5 Celsius I guess. Regards Lee
Hi LeePY. How are the trees doing? Did you try them outside? I'm also in the UK and have 4 pots on my windowsill. It's too late to get them outside now (November) but maybe next year in the Spring
Great vid. How do you prevent the tree from growing in height? I know the avocado trees need to grow at its fullest and to have a thick trunk in order to produce fruit. You prove me wrong.
Plant a few varieties 4 ft apart or 2 in the same planting hole or espalier them and keep trimmed.
Thanks a lot.
thx for the advices
Good video and great song too 🎶
THANK YOU!
Why you don’t ship to USA
Hi there I have a question. Do you have to have more then one avo tree to get the 'fruit'. I was told I had to have at least 2 trees before they could pollinate and fruit, like a kewi fruit tree. ThaNks
Sorry for the late response. Avocado trees are self pollinating meaning that they don't need the same species of tree nearby to produce fruit.
I am living in Fairbanks AK and never had any success growing those trees. Why? Any recommendations?
What temperature is considered frost for the avocado trees?
That's an excellent amount of information. I had several tree starts... and the llama decided she could eat it's succulent leaves and stems... and .... she's gone to another home now.... I wish I had them back.. I am looking forward to trying this.
I just bought 2 dwarfs. I dont have a clue what Im doi g. One arrived green and plush and the other is dark curly leaves and a bit crackely. They have wrapped root balls. What do I do now? The seller saidto keep them in a bucket with water and inside for 2 weeks. Im in Southeast Texas, south of Houston
what is the correct way to water a mature tree
I used to live in the lower Puna district of the Big Island of Hawaii. The land there is recent lava flow with very thin soil, or no soil at all. I could put an avocado seed on the bare lava ground, and it would grow. It would send roots right through that rock. The conditions were so perfect, it was hard to keep them down. I used to mutilate and butcher young trees, and they'd just bounce right back.
I have put an organic sunscreen on the stems, but my leaves have brown ends. Is that sunburned leaves or to little or much water? thank you.
Daleys... legends!!
Best guide
What’s all the white powdery sap I’m getting? Branches are seeping sap then breaking off.
Oh and this is my first time growing one!!
Do you still dig a big hole (ditch) then fill that up and mound it first.
Thank are you for this advice I have bought and lost about 6 Avocados before I began planting them as I did not have the area ready. Even if I had ofwatching your video I would have still lost them I live in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland do you send plans to there,
on the computer at the library of often looked at your catalogue and it makes my mouth water there's a lot of plants that I would like to buy from you kindest regards
They send all across Australia
If you have to cover them to protect them from frost, does that mean they won't grow where you have actual winter?
I wonder how it would respond to being grown atop a hugelculture setup.
My guess is it would grow pretty much like everything else grown on a Hugleculture...amazingly!
4,300 feet altitude, 9.5" of rain a year. Oranges don't grow here in Nevada either.
is it better to keep them in a green house if you have some frost days or can they handle cold after a while
Some varieties like Bacon can handle a frost no problem (even -5c).
