I’m so happy to have found a gem avocado tree which I planted in my backyard maybe 2 1/2 months ago…not only that but it’s growing on Dusa clonal rootstock. I really love your introductory jingle Johnny. Thanks for making the videos they sure are entertaining
Hi Pat: I"m really happy to hear that you found your GEM on a really good clonal stock, that's really wonderful! Hope it produces a lot of great fruit for you! Thank you for the kind words on the jingle:) Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!
Thanks Sam, I am looking forward to tasting my GEMs too. I have heard how good they are but never tried them. Hope your GEM produces you a lot of fruit in the future!
Thank you Frank, the drive was definitely worth it! I am really excited to finally own a GEM. Wishing your GEM and Jan Boyce to thrive and produce a lot of great avocados for you in the future. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching!
The GEM looks good the JB about half as good. As these were from La Verne's I washed about 2/3s of the woody planting mix off the roots prior to planting. While this helps prevent root root, initially it sets them back. What do you know about the Julia variety?
@@frankyancy1347 I don't like the woody planting mix a lot of these trees come in as well. What I read about the Julia is that it is a seedling of Nabal and it is suppose to be a sweet avocado with excellent flavor. Its fruiting season is between August and November but sometimes goes into December. It is suppose to have a rather thin skinned, very small to medium large seed, ovate to pear shape, green hard and soft. The reason I did not buy one is that I read somewhere that it fruits heavy one year than has little production for several years afterwards. It is suppose to be an excellent tasting avocado. Thanks for watching!
Hi Johnny just subbed to your channel. I just wanted to let you know how far I had to travel for my gem. I drove from houston Texas to Santa Ana, California. Talk about a drive! It took me and my daughter 3 days. I dragged my daughter with me but we got my GEM. I still have to plant it. I"m having trouble finding the grow pro pots with handles just wondering did you ever get any and if you did> where? thx
Hi Cindi: Wow, I thought my drive was far, but I am impressed that you drove so far to get your GEM. Congrats on getting the GEM! Hope you and your daughter had a nice road trip. I never got around buying a grow pro pots but I believe you can buy them online. I just planted by GEMs in 15 gal or the 24" box. Hope your GEM produces a lot of great fruit for you and your family! Thank you for your sub, for watching and for your comment!
Hi b: not sure if they ship, I would probably give them a call at (442) 444-0370. They usually sell to directly to retailers like nurseries so not sure if they would ship directly to customers. Thanks for your question and thank you for watching!
Hi Abelation: I heard that GEM Avocados do better in Central Valley than the typical Hass Avocado. I really like my GEMs. Best of luck to you on growing your GEM. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard thats great news and thank you for replying. You have a lot of awsome videos on your channel. Today I found it and binge watched a bunch of them. Thanks again
Yes gem can take go at least as cold as hass but any avo young tree should be covered or heat for first few years or more, anything around 33 degree or colder should be protected or if planted close to house that can help, i have gem trees for sale in central valley but they are not cheap.
If the avocado tree is grafted, sometimes it can start producing fruit after 2 to 3 years I believe. Thank you for your question and thank you for watching!
Hi PrimoNF: It is a bit pricey but it is really good soil with no organic material in the soil like wood chips. I recently tried buying a cheaper citrus, cactus, palms mix and it contained a lot of the woody material, so I really do like Gary's best top pot. I know you can mix your own soil, but I like the simplicity of just buying it.
@@johnnysworld-backyardorchard does it compare fairly with foxfarm ocean forest or happy frog? I want to give my avocado tree the best soil possible but I don’t live in CA... what exactly does it have?
@@SenzuBeaner Hi PrimoNF: I have used foxfarm ocean forest but not happy frog. I remember foxfarm ocean forest being a bit pricey as well. Someone at the nursery where I bought it told me it was good for avocado trees. I'm not sure what exactly are in Gary's Best. I have read any cactus and palm soil mixes are good for avocados due to such soil being well draining. Good luck planting!
Hello everyone. Please anyone can help me i have a 7.yrs old Avokadu tree it is to big tree but still don't have fruit .what can I do to get fruit ? ? ? My tree is from seed and not grafting .
Hello: if you grew the avocado tree from seed, it may take about to 10 years or more to fruit and there is no guarantee it will fruit. That is why a lot of people buy grafted avocado trees with a known variety that fruits. Good luck with your avocado seedling, hope it produces fruit one day. Thank you for watching!
Subtropica Nurseries's address is 2929 E Mission Rd, Fallbrook, CA 92028 and their telephone number I believe is 442 444 0370. You will see a sign for Eli's Farm Stand which is the same place. Thanks for watching!

Do you know if they will ship their trees within California?

Happy you found your GEM! I have one around that same size. How much are they selling them for?
Thank you! I believe they were $32/each. You have a nice collection of avocado trees. Thanks for watching!
