Definitely one of the my favorite maybe even my most favorite. Thank you for sharing and hope your Reed does well and produces a lot of great fruit for you! Thank you for watching!
I plant my avocado trees the same way but instead of using the cactus mix I use decomposed granite that I get from the brickyard down the street. The DG is about $5 a bag so I'm not sure if that's cheaper than the cactus mix. And the trees really thrive in the DG, avocado trees love DG. I got lazy though and the last tree I planted I didn't build my usual circular planter made from landscaping blocks but just ordered a galvanized metal circular planter off Amazon which made things much easier.
Thank you for sharing. I have heard others use decomposed granite and they have told me their avocado trees thrive in it and may more than they would in the cactus mix. I really have to try out decomposed granite one of these days, I have heard great things about that soil composition. I am a bit lazy and it is easy to find the cactus mix where I am at. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!
Hi Ben, the Reed is doing really well. I just put a whole bunch of avocado leaves on top of the Reed and I think it likes its new home! Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchardof course this tree is doing WELL (get it??). Anyway, was there a newer update on this tree? I glanced through the videos and couldn't see it.
@@vegardno Hi, this Reed is doing really well. The last update video I did was during the summer at the end of th-cam.com/video/Tg9MTZKOzsY/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
I really enjoyed this video and the smooth jazz accompaniment. Great tip with the mounding up of the Avocado tree. That brick mound looks very nice too. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like 128 or more paver stones plus all that soil. I'll guess it was around $400 of investment. But it is a large fruiting tree, not just a small seedling - and went into an area of the yard where he had doubts. It made sense to prepare thoroughly and carefully.
Looks good Johnny, Cant tell in the video….Did you placed the bottom of the rootball higher than the existing soil level ? . That soil below could have the root rot still in it. It just me, but I like the irrigation water in raised beds to flow down into the old soil below. I use drip to minimize run off…. Of course as always… Your mileage may vary!
Hi Jeff, thank you for sharing your experience, I did replace the top soil with new soil before I planted my avocado tree. Actually, I got the idea to do this based on what you did with your multi grafted avocado trees. Thank you for the idea! Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!
Looks great Johnny!!! Man what a lot of work. I give you props. I would be soar for a few days after all that work. I planted a GEM today as well. Glad to see your Reed is planted out of the box. I hope it does great! Thanks for sharing Johnny.
Hi Sam, great to hear from you and hope all is well. Great to hear that you just planted your GEM, hopefully it will produce a lot of great fruit for you! I'm still a bit soar but I'm glad I finally got that out of my to do list. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Hi Pat: I haven't done a video on my fairy garden, I don't remember quite what I meant by that. Lol... I have to check out my intro video again to see what I meant. Thank you for your comment!
Great effort, monumental! I hear you can test the drain-factor of your soil by filling a hole with water where you want to plant and if it drains within 24 hrs. then your soil has good drainage. ( Mine usually drains faster than that and is clay soil.) I've heard too in a Fla zone nursery video that Asian persimmons have delicate roots. I think I will try an American variety for my first persimmon tree. Good video, Johnny!
Hi, I just posted a video and I show the Reed at the end of the video. The Reed is doing great and growing quite well in the ground. It has not flowered yet but hoping for a good year this year. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Actually that is a good point but hopefully the roots go down under the ground too. I will be introducing/replacing new soil from time to time. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Great video...!! Thank you for sharing my friend
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
One of the best A varieties. Just planted one today. Thanks for the video!

Any updates on how the Reed is doing?
Also a mound would have likely worked for the Reed. Would have provided the proper drainage.
Thanks for sharing

Box to the ground, good work, enjoyed the video, good luck my friend

Good job Johnny, should do just fine. Keep us updated.
Thank you REM for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Great job Johnny. I think it's gonna do well in that location.
Thank you RW for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Amazing work Johnny! Keep up the great work 🤙😎
I like the bricks and the idea they can be expanded as needed. Like your videos.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
That's a big investment in potting mix! It better give you lots of avocados.

Thank you Doug for your comment and thank you for watching! Hopefully it does well. Hope you are doing well!
Thank you A7bP for your comment, luckily I already had the bricks from a prior home project I did. Thank you for watching!
He should have made his own soil using his native soil with added leaves compost gypsum sand etc . That bagged soil turns to trash once it breaks down
Looks good Johnny,

That really did look like hard work but u did everything right and I think it will greatly pay off in the coming years! Job well done.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Johnny, have you ever done a video on your “fairy garden” that’s featured in your video intro’s? Interested in learning more about.
Hi Pat: I haven't done a video on my fairy garden, I don't remember quite what I meant by that. Lol... I have to check out my intro video again to see what I meant. Thank you for your comment!
After moving to the city, we just have to wait for the harvest, okay, I'll wait for the harvest video
Thank you for your insight and comment and thank you for watching!
okay@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard
Nice brick container idea looks great you got a good mix in there can’t wait to see how it works out 🤙🏻
Thank you DDF for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Great vid once again, you guys in Cali are very fortunate that you can grow avocados. Out here in Vegas it's pretty much peaches and figs
We are very fortunate here due to the weather. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Keep us posted ..
Thank you Lion for your comment and thank you for watching! The Reed is doing very well so far.
Should do pretty well above ground like that.🎃
Thank you Pat for your comment and thank you for watching!
Looks great! bricks always make your landscaping look better regardless!

Thank you Sheri for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for watching!

great video. It did not show how you secured the blocks in place though. Did you use glue? Or are they self locking blocks? Thanks
I didn't use any cement, just put the bricks on top and the weight holds them together. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

That soil will turn to trash after 3or so years.
Actually that is a good point but hopefully the roots go down under the ground too. I will be introducing/replacing new soil from time to time. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
Why, because of organic content rotting or because of nutrients being depleted?
try this, before you plant that or you can replant it again, burn that area that should kill all the pathogens.
Thank you for the tip and thank you for watching!
