Does anyone else find themselves looking for avocados trees while driving around?
Yes, I look for them in my neighborhood on walks or on drives. There aren't many in my neighborhood but there is one similar to the tree in this video. I am tempted to knock on the neighbors door to ask about the tree.
Everyday
Figs, and also mulberries.
It's amazing how tough these are once established over the decades.
New Brokaw rootstock "SAN JUAN" to replace Dusa
I bet the farmer was eating avocados under the orange tree and threw the pits on the ground and this one sprouted and survived because it was the most drought tolerant! Pretty cool.
Very exciting. Tree looks very healthy.
Very cool tree, with a cool story, I wonder if pollination is affected because it’s so close to the citrus? I know my bees prefer the citrus flowers over the avocado.
Nice video and amazing tree. I was surprised that you started climbing up the tree.
Most excellent find, evaluation and assessment - Thank You for this !
Very cool. So mamy intriguing things about this find. Next step is to taste ripe fruit.
Citrus and avocado in one hole! 🤔
Citrus and avocado staying in same hotel room. Maybe husband and wife
All it needs is water and the tree would be packed with fruit.
I mean wow. this is unbelievable
Lots of giant avocado seedlings trees up in NorCal especially in the foothills east of Sacramento Central Valley.
Definitely gets lots more rainfall but they also survive without any irrigation and live through the triple digit summers without any problems
Non-grafted fruit trees will not bear the exact fruit as the tree from which the seed came. It may not bear at all-a sterile tree. But generally, avocados bear heavily every other year, and then lightly the next. Further, this time of year, the fruit would be pea-sized. Come back at Christmas and check it again at that time, when the fruit is large mature. Never-the-less, a very cool find. Thank you.
wow what an amazing find. I think seedling also based on no graft line but also it looks like it shot straight up like a seedling. Maybe girdle a branch next time you are there to see if it provokes fruit set.
Awesome!
First ti comment! Keep up the good work
Dang you're fast. Thanks!
It appears to me that there should be an auto avocado and Orange Grove if more people just spread those seats around
How did it survive considering how much water avocado trees need, especially early on?
That's one beautiful Avocado tree. Almost looks like it's growing in its native habitat. A tree of that size should have way more fruit. Looks about as productive as my "Drone" 4 year old Fuerte.
In Uganda (East Africa) such avocados are common sight, actually most avocados i eat are not commercially grown
Hi. I live nearby in Mission Viejo. Would it be too much of an ask for the coordinates of this tree?
Ya with water tree might be loaded with fruit , but who knows how good of fruit being a seedling , very cool I hope tree will never be cut down to build homes.
Unfortunately that seems to be the fate of most of the old giant avocado trees.
I grew up with a huge avocado tree and my father cut it down and burned the stump to finish it off
Greg, was there any evidence of seeds or growth beneath the tree?
where is this?
More than likely grown from a pit , thats why its got no fruit .. Its good for shade and nothing more .. Looks like a fuerte ...
