Wow…your avocado tree is full of fruits despite the heat wave. Very nice! Great video! Thanks for sharing tips on watering and fertilizing in the summer 👍❤️
Good video Jeff. I have a Has that was small and neglected when I moved into my home in late April 2018. I began weeding, watering and fertilizing and it took off. The following spring it flowered well but all fruit fell off before setting. The following year 2020 we had about 200-250 fruit set out 1,000’s that made it to a pea size. Last spring we had about 250-300 set. I completely agree with you that doing a deep watering before or at time of onset of heatwave help keeps the fruit from dropping. I have no irrigation in this tree. I just put a hose out every 2-4 weeks (depending on weather) in Spring and Summer and deep water for about an hour. I know you can overwater but this schedule seems to work for my soil and tree.
Which variety drops the most? I have a Carmen and Sharwil. They seem to be doing okay in the heat, but no fruit yet. I want them to get larger before I let them set fruit.
The Big black side was loaded wayyy more than the tree could hold, i had planned on thinning it, but nature took care of it. It dropped the most. I think only one or 2 mex grandes fell and none of the queens dropped.
I noticed you have a few palms in front yard. One looks like a bizmarkia nobilis. Are you going to plant that in the ground? Can you tell us what other palms you have there?
Hi Jeff, I have a little cado in a pot i bought last year, i want to change containers, what type of soil will work, i believe i've asked you before but i couldn't find that video. i want to make my own soil.
For short term repotting I use miracle grow moisture control potting soil. when I keep a tree in a container for a long time, I use 1 part sand, 1 part peat moss, 1 part perlite.
I'm wondering if small birds may be responsible for tiny set-fruit falling off. It might be that birds are foraging about for insects, and maybe they are stepping on the fruit stems. I'm going to put some netting around some set fruit bunches to see what happens. New Zealand.
Hi Jeff I Live In RiverBank and i Have a beautiful Avocado tree From Seed It's about 6 Years Old First Year Producing fruit big big large avocados post which are starting to drop and the very beginning small ones were dropping now some of the bigger ones are dropping My branches are bending I was wondering if that might cause the drop edge I just purchased a tree from home depot last year and I think that's why my tree got fruit this year this year just a thought any inputhought any input will be appreciated thanks again
Hard to say but if the fruit were set last year they may be dropping because they are mature. Small fruit drop is a way a healthy tree thins itself… I might be able to offer you more accurate info if I saw a picture of the tree. You can contact me via Facebook messenger- Jeff Earl
I guess a 10% fruit drop is pretty acceptable when you have so many still on the tree 👍. I'd be happy to have 10% of the fruit HOLD on any of my subtropicals or tropicals lol
My avocado tree gave its first badge had 20 but it drop almost all off them the tip dried up you think because We water it every 2 days We live in Rialto California
@@TropicalGardenGuy oh excellent on Monster, I'm crossing my fingers, I think if yours can fruit mine should only be a year or 2 behind, I also have a back up large branch grafted on coast so if inland won't produce perhaps that branch will it's 4 foot tall or so but no flowers this spring.
@@TropicalGardenGuy kern in Newman should try Monster, I saw he is trying Marcus pumpkin, you said monster excellent tasting , internet says Marcus taste can be watery, I'm wondering if monster is up there in taste with a Nabal or Reed.
My poor tree is losing its leaves, and those that are not dropping are completely wilting-sad. To hot here in Stockton, got mine on the porch-just not working.
that sux! My tree lost a few fruit, but lets face it, 12 days above 100f this year is a little out of the ordinary . This said, it looks like ill still get a lot of fruit.
@@TropicalGardenGuy that’s awesome, unfortunately mine is only a little over a year old and I’m pretty sure it’s not going to make it. Just going to leave it and hope for the best. Appreciate your videos!
@@kcwilcox1 if possible move it somewhere it won’t get hit by the evening sun. I haven mine on the north side of the house and it’s shaded in the evening. No burn at all.

Sounds like you have it down pat for your garden! Happy growing.. Jeff

Hey Jeff. Your avos look great. What size (inner diameter) are your raised bed rings? Thanks

@@TropicalGardenGuy thanks!

Can you link your fertilizer and micro sprinkler system please?
?
Hey Jeff what do you think about foliar spray for avocado trees thinking of doing that to mine here in Stockton, CA
Ive used it b4, but wait till high temps for the day is below 90f

Yea, I have a Bizzie i bought on clearance from lowes. I didnt have a spot to plant it, so into a 30 gal pot. Not sure where im gonna plant it.

I think you might be having to support that branch soon. Nice crop. I hope the rest hold. I would like to see the taste test. So I can be jelous lol.
Thanks, I think I might have to prop a few branches up, looks like the drop is slowing down.

I don’t think it’s the birds

First year of Fruit So I'm Going To Hope For The Best

Yea, I feel the same way about some of my trees too
❤❤❤
👍
I like fruit all kinds especially avos & bananas
You came to the right channel.
I grow both!
My avocado tree gave its first badge had 20 but it drop almost all off them the tip dried up you think because We water it every 2 days We live in Rialto California
Hard to say without seeing the tree etc. But I use drip during hot spells!
Cool down tree by spraying with water every 2 hours when temps go over 100 if the city wont fine you for watering.
No need, our summer temps don’t bother my trees. It’s the direct sun that scorches bare branches.
Btw… my monster avocado is in full bloom!
@@TropicalGardenGuy oh excellent on Monster, I'm crossing my fingers, I think if yours can fruit mine should only be a year or 2 behind, I also have a back up large branch grafted on coast so if inland won't produce perhaps that branch will it's 4 foot tall or so but no flowers this spring.
