@The TropicalGardenGuy I'm in Arizona. I have few trees growing from seed in the house, about year old, and want to plant it outside, it's gets 110 degrees for days any suggestions how to play or to cover it? after I plant, what doable should I use?
Lol I am growing a avocado from seed.. it’s sprouted and had beautiful green leaves .. I put it in the Texas sun for a few days … the full sun and heat literally destroyed it😅 the sun even scorch the seed!!! … but at the base a new shoot is coming out and I will keep it in shade .. lesson learned never keep a avocado seedling in full Texas sun!
At least you guys have humidity! We are bone dry. Might I suggest, put a seed directly into the ground. It will send roots out to find water . Once its large enough, graft it to a good variety.
you da man, man lol. I would like to know more about your queen graft, how is it holding up. Would you recommend a queen on lamb hass. I've seen a 5 gal for sale.
I actually have at least one queen fruit set! Its about the size of a plum. There maybe more, i need to check. I think I show it on my last cado video. Queen on lamb should be ok.
So Jeff you got avo 2 trees total in front yard? Isn't it kind of hard to keep track of which branch is what variety ?do the black Johnston ripen in Nov total hang time about 8 months ?
Yea, I only have two trees in front yard, I need to slow down a bit in my videos. Yes, Black Johnson ripen in the late fall, I’d say 6 months to ripe as the flowered early May. So only a little more than one month after flowering, the fruit is already the size on a regular Mexicola at Maturity in Sept! Ill do a video on Black Johnson Soon!
@@TropicalGardenGuy ok it sounds like you like the Wilma seeds for rootstock, I would like to get duke seeds but in Fresno area I don't know anyone that has a large duke tree.
hmm, the only Duke tree that I know of is wayyy up north Valley in Oroville. Just to let you know. The first Avocado that I grafted was a Mex grande on a hass seedling rootstock. Had no problems with it , even when it got cold!
@@TropicalGardenGuy ya I've used hass seeds but not my seed of choice, save your Wilma seeds I would like to try them, I've got scions off the trees in Oroville but duke trees are way small in pots right now.
Hass, reed etc seem to be more bushy. If you notice in my last video, Mexicola Grande side of my tree is still bare and could get some sunburn if I dont white wash.
Ive seen them sold at lowes , but you have to check often as they sell out as fast as they get them…. Im told that you can do a special order at the nursery there, worth a try. Reed is a good variety
Another great avocado tree video....
Glad you like them!
Great video Jeff! Really envious of your multi-grafted avocado trees, very nice! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Hey, interesting video. What do you use for white washing the branches?
Most people use latex paint mixed 50/50 water.
I’ve been using iv organics white wash as of late
Hi Jeff i live in Newman ca I grew a avocado tree from seed and it’s one year old and it’s doing beautiful
Excellent! To get good fruit, you’ll need to graft it!
@@TropicalGardenGuy i don’t know how to do that jeff
Watch one of my grafting videos!
@@TropicalGardenGuy i have seen them but looking around to see we’re i Can buy them
Buy avocado trees or budwood? I’m not sure I understand

ouch! If I lived in AZ, id plant where there’s morning sun and semi shade afternoon!
Besides the fruit is delicious to eat, the tree can also make the climate comfortable, thank you for the info, greetings from Indonesia
So nice of you

How long will the mexicola hang on tree after there ripe
depends on the weather, but a couple of weeks to a month

@@TropicalGardenGuy awesome looks like both trees did well with the heat wave
Thank you
You're welcome My friend !
Which type of avocodo seed is best in 45°c climate
Depends on several factors , but I prefer Mexican varieties for rootstock
Jeff do you know a cheap source of zutano or bacon seeds I'm trying to find a source this winter that have large fruit/large seeds for rootstock.
Hi Shane, No, I dont know of anyone that sells seeds. I used the large seed from Wilma Avocado last year and they did good even in 1 gal pot.
@@TropicalGardenGuy ok it sounds like you like the Wilma seeds for rootstock, I would like to get duke seeds but in Fresno area I don't know anyone that has a large duke tree.
hmm, the only Duke tree that I know of is wayyy up north Valley in Oroville.

Which varieties do you recommend that are good about shading themselves, and thus avoiding sunburn?
Hass, reed etc seem to be more bushy. If you notice in my last video, Mexicola Grande side of my tree is still bare and could get some sunburn if I dont white wash.
@@TropicalGardenGuy Do you know of any nurseries that carry Reed? I’ve actually been looking for weeks and can’t seem to find it.
Ive seen them sold at lowes , but you have to check often as they sell out as fast as they get them…. Im told that you can do a special order at the nursery there, worth a try. Reed is a good variety
@@TropicalGardenGuy Thanks! I’ll give that a shot.
Jeff never leave your big black Johnson hang out!
Needs to get fresh air!
