The Complete Guide to Growing Avocados
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ค. 2024
- To make avocados grow you need to do 4 things:
1. Plant a Seedling
2. Graft the seedling (Here's why: • Should I Graft My Avoc... )
3. Plant in the ground in the right climate zone
4. Pollinate your trees
This video tells you everything you need to know about the 4 elements. (I accidentally reversed afternoon and morning on the pollination vid but the concept remains the same you need a mix)
If you want to buy a tree or some clippings (scion) to try your hand at grafting go to: www.guacfarm.com

Had to stop the video to comment. The shout outs are the best part of the video. I love the connection!!!
Thank you Stephanie, I appreciate your compliment.
My 20 foot avocado trees in South FL took 7 years to produce. Had a pretty bad freeze one year that I thought killed them but they grew back from the ground up and had several trunks grow back. I had planted flowering trees next to them so the bees that loved the flowers also pollinated the avocados as they flowered around the same time. Seems to work like a charm. All grown from seed.
That's awesome Tammy!
Plants are a lot more resilient than we think, we have a very hot climate here during the summer the winter months vary from hot to about 25° in winter, I have had plants that look pretty dead , I think, but I wait to now when it's cooler them cut them back and see what happens. Some have recovered others not. I have had an avocodo seed planned for nearly 6 months, just last week it popped up and now it's getting leaves, I can't tell you how happy this makes me every time I plant something and it grows.
I do have a shed planted butt it’s only been about 3 months. I’ll see what happens there. And. Then try to find someone that already has a tree. We will see. Thanks sos much for the replies.
But you failed to answer what we all want to know 😂 Was the seed grown fruit tasty??
I just had basically the exact same scenario this year. My biggest avocado tree I grew from a seed from a large smooth avocado roughly seven years ago. It’s now about 17 feet tall. I’ve topped it twice. It’s a robust tree with thick branches and giant leaves. It’s got nice size avocado’s on it now for the first time that look really nice. I had two smaller potted grafted trees that started blooming at the same time in February. I placed them close to the big tree and the bees loved it. Now beautiful avocados
I really like the straight, no BS, informative talk and demonstrations! :)
thank you
You are sooo naturally charming & charismatic... I'd literally watch you speak for days & months!!
Thank you pickled jalapeño! I appreciate your comment.
The more I learn about gardening the more I appreciate the luxury of the produce section!
Do you have a favorite fruit.
hahaha!
💯💯
I have recently undertaken the task of procuring avocado trees in zone 8a/7b. Would love to see videos on cold hardy varieties!
I live in Houston, TX. I grew my first avacado plant in back yard 2 months ago. I threw some seeds and next time I looked, it was there🥰I absolutely love it!
they are very resilient!
Same with my aunt also live in Houston, I did both soil and water so far got plant just waiting on leafs
I love the attitude of this cultivar of avocados. His attitude propels me to a life that involves gardening.
Here in Puerto Rico when we pick our avocados we picked them leaving small stem in them. This allows them to be fresh longer. If we want them to be ready just take stem off and it will be ready within days.
Thank you for that advice have a blessed day!
You sir are so good at this! We can tell you’re great at growing trees and plants but you are also great in front of the camera! So informative and so natural.
Thank you MOHA Mek!
I was going to say the same thing
You are right
My father was great at grafting. After tying the graft together with cotton thread he melted down beeswax and coated over graft. We had plenty of beeswax due to several bee hives.
I've not tried wax yet but I've seen it in books. One of my workers uses rubber bands.
I tried to graft something once, but it didn't work. Of course I didn't really know what I was doing, but it doesn't help one's confidence. The bees wax idea sounds like it work though, thank you for that.
Thank you. You are the *best* teacher.
You remind me of someone who is the Master of a trade speaking to his apprentice.😊
What an amazing compliment. Thank you so much
I don't know how I stumbled on this, but these avacado videos are extremely interesting. I live in north west PA so I obviously can't grow them but I still enjoy learning about them.
Fellow native Pennsylvanian here. Thank you for your support
I appreciate your insight and experience
Recently, I started growing a seedling - not because I want fruit, it truly was because I was bored and curious. And now I’m doing all this research. And now I’m attached to my dumb plant. I even named him. I don’t think I could graft something on to Benny. It’s like replacing my child. Maybe I’ll grow another seedling and refuse to get attached so I can clone a stranger to it. 😂
yeah, no harm in doing both methods. Good luck with Benny!
🤣🤣
Why not graft to one branch so u wouldn't be replacing, but adding? U could see it as braiding/weaving Benny's hair.
@PizzaPie-zm2vo not an expert here, but I've heard that if you graft onto a plant, that the original will try to overtake the graft.
@@slowpoke4557 That's true with some plants. There are ways to counteract this effect, however. Thanks for the thought.
Best part of grafting is quicker fruit production.
Hi, I'm from Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country. At first, I just watched your video because of education purposes ( I have learned English for 2 years, I stuck with my listening skill, and your voice is easy to listen ), but now I think that I have found an educational and interesting channel for myself. I watch your video almost every day, the way you talk really appeal to me
thank you for the compliment. Your written English is good. Keep up the good work!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. My wife and I tried the toothpicks in the seed method...for months...with no results. Now we have another seed in a plastic bag, wrapped in a wet paper towel. Definitely gonna share this video with her. Grafting looks really cool. Never knew that sort of thing was possible.
Thanks for sharing your love of avocados.
Southpaw, thanks for the comment and good luck with getting your seed to sprout. Mother nature can be funny, you plant the same exact thing right next to each other, care for it the same way, and one grows and the other doesn't. You'll get one to sprout if you keep trying.
This video and your farm suddenly makes me want to take a trip to Florida.
it's a great place to visit.
Literally just found lizard man like 3 days ago and already one of my favorite channels
Thanks Gumpy, and you're one of my favorite commenters. Thanks for being so positive.
💯💯 Same!
In Seattle we were re-zoned from an 8 to an 8b, so I'm thrilled to know I can grow those beautiful fruits here. I will check out your website and probably call you to get your expertise on what to order for my grafted trees. I buy 5-6 avocados a week and it'll be really nice to pick them from my own tree! This was by far the best video on how to grow and graft and take care of an avocado tree. Glad I found you tonight! I'll be watching more vids of yours tomorrow. Thank you. I like your down to earth, matter of fact, just a real guy telling it like it is style.
I hope you were finally able to get a good night's sleep. :)
Not going to work in Seattle. USDA zones is about min temps. There’s not enough heat in Seattle to grow avocados unprotected. My fridge is zone 10.
Don't point out the obvious, that Southern California and Florida grows avocado, and apples come from Washington.
Buy A T-shirt or tank style really nice & supports & advertises for him! We got both styles
Tom, I love what you say and how you say it. You are a natural teacher!!!! Rock on Brother!
Thanks Jose. By the way, I'm following your mango graft project. Can can't wait to see the little guy sprout.
I had to pause the video to let you know that I already planned to do what you are talking about here! I just told my wife that she should contact you to find out about how to get scion cuttings to graft onto root stock I grow here in Arizona. But, I have a twist that makes it even easier!
I plant my seeds directly in the ground. No transplanting needed! The disadvantage is that I have planted maybe a hundred or two-hundred seeds this way, and only got one to grow. But, I did get one to grow! Then an unprecedented hard winter withered it. (5 frosts -- 3 were hard frosts -- and 3 times we got snow! In Tucson, Arizona?!?)
But, it grew! My neighbor brought me 4 plants in 1 gallon pots that I transplanted with no success. While I knew you put the belly button down, I did not know you do not cover it over fully! I cannot wait to try again.
I like direct sowing because whatever actually grows must be genetically happy with my yard, right? I am so lovin' it!
Also, I think of it like handing out fliers for a business; it's a number's game. What's the down side? You have to eat a lot of avocados! So, of course, there is no downside!
totally a numbers game
You are welcome man. Its great to have person with knowledge and experience and that way we can learn.take care friend. May God bless you with a lot of good things.
I like the way you acknowledge your viewers. Unique!
Thank you Panoramic View.
Americans are the best in expalining things .. thanks man
On behalf of myself and my fellow countrymen I thank you for the compliment
Wow mate you're awesome at explaining this stuff so much detail keep up the work.
This would be the best video I've ever seen to explain anything to do with plants.
Much love from Australia
wow, thanks for the compliment, what a great way to start my day!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your time and for sharing all your knowlege on growing avocados. I also loved how you broke it down into the 4 steps! I definitly learned a lot about growing Avocados .
Tamara thank you for your positive and encouraging comment. I really appreciate it. Do you think you might try to grow one?
Hey look at his shirts for sale really cool! We bought both styles! You get a cute shirt he gets rewarded for sharing knowledge🙂
Love your informational/educational video about growing avocados at home. Thank you for making it easy to understand and follow along.
Nell, thank you for your compliment.
Hi there, I’m the Kamakura Gardener, here in Japan. 🇯🇵 A dear subscriber of mine just recommended your channel. So, here I am to learn as much as possible about growing avocado 🥑 trees! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Many thanks!
Wow, that makes me so happy. Welcome to the channel!
@@SleepyLizard My pleasure.
Working on my mango business but love listening to your videos. Absolutely hysterical comment about a teenager making their plants flower.
tell us about your mango business. I just had a Mangonada for dessert tonight
@@SleepyLizard BackyardMangoes is my passion business away from teaching. I have over 20 trees on my 1/2 acre and sell/ship direct. Last season was a blast! this is my 2nd season. If I meet my goals for this season I’ll invest in 30 more trees.
That's really great. People love mangos and the ones they sell in the store aren't even close to what we grow ourselves. I'm sure you'll hit your numbers and have 20 more trees before you know it!
Just wanted to say that you are a natural when it comes to youtube. Your vids are really well done and you are incredibly charistmatic! Looking forward to more videos. We also try to grow some avocadoes here in germany, not really expecting fruits tho. A nice plant would be a good start :D
Tha NexT, thank you for your compliment, I appreciate it. I used to travel to Erlangen Germany for my job and I was impressed with the number of well developed gardens I'd see through my window on the train ride from Frankfurt to Nuremberg. Many people keep avocado trees as house plants so in your case just do step one and periodically prune the tree and as it grows transplant it to larger and larger pots. This page has subscribers in Finland and Norway growing healthy happy avocado trees indoors as house plants. Good luck!
Awesome and educational video. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I live in New Jersey and I am trying to grow an avicado tree.
This sleepy lizard guy should make a great Professor !
Keeps it nice and simple . . .
Your explanations are super, you go straight to point without dragging your videos/points soo much, you are also a natural in front of the camera ,I loved watching and listening to you. Much love from Kenya. here we grow avocadoes without much struggle as our weather is super good, hass does so well and we can't meet the demand of export. Doing it now...Keep up the good work.
thank you KZ. I appreciate it!
Here in India mangos really do taste amazing. We constantly graft mangos like Hayden, Glen and even Keitt! But we also look for problems like root death and decay and also pests. Love from India 🇮🇳. We love you brother
oh yes we have nothing be respect for India's mango skills
Just go to your nursery and ask to get you a Fuerte. Pay them whatever they want you to pay. Plant it and look after it. Good luck. Okay... listen to this guy and buy the best mix!
Hi Lizard, I live in South Texas.. and I am the only one in my immediate family to successfully seed, grow and raise an Avocado Tree named Ava.. She is 2' 11/2" tall, I started growing her last Spring, and when we had the Artic Blast come through, I kept her in my garage, and now with it being warmer, my brother felt it was time for her to venture out, so I sat her on the south side of the front yard against our fence, and she is doing great.. I just wanted to thank you for helping me by your video... When at what height or age should I transplant her from her Juvenile Pot 6" across to a larger one.. We can't put her in the ground here, so she has to be placed in a mobile pot....
Send him an email, it’s much more likely to get a response. Do some research on how to find it!
Came across a video on grafting and now discovered avocados are grown that way. It should be suitable where I am in Texas unless this year repeats lol. This should be fun to try. We have bees and several varieties of fruit growing now so avocados would make a nice addition.
I am so glad I found you. Your energy is infectious. Thank you for all the information.
thank you Pushpa
I've been learning a lot from this channel. Thank you for sharing the info with us. You are a great teacher.
thank you for your support.
I love your vids, i watch it into into the early hrs of the morning. I'm from South Africa & new 2 gardening but I'm loving it and you help alot. Thank u
Wardah, Thank you for the positive comments, I appreciate it. Stay close and keep us posted on your progress!
I like your video. I want to plant it on a pot as i havent got space. I loke my advocados
@@hesterduvenage7804 that would be fine. I've had them fruit in a pot...use the biggest pot you can.
Your videos are totally amazing, I find it so educational and I think everyone should have this knowledge and growing any plant should be a very common thing to do everywhere! That’s the least we can do for our planet
Jean,
I agree with you. You'll be happy to hear 2020 caused a surge in interest in backyard gardening. I hope it sticks.
You are doing great job, Sharing your practical knowledge of farms, very time consuming, thanks for all
I love your vibe! “Subscribed”. It was nice to see that you shouted out your audience. I am going to start an avocado 🥑 tree this weekend in NJ in February 😂 wish me luck! This video was comprehensive and very informative. Thank you.
Thank you Liane. And good luck with the tree!
Thank you!
Very informative, interesting, and educational. Thank you for this in-depth video. 👍
Youre welcome
Im so glad you are explaining this. Thank you!!! People think they can just grow a seed and boom have avacados.
Yep, you are right Mary...takes a little more effort
Thanks for this clear and precise video. It's the best on the subject I've ever seen. Your personality is appreciated too. Your entertaining and easy to follow and I enjoyed the comical quips as well.
thank you Jimi
Great video! I live in the Pacific NW (8b) and hope to grow some cold-hardy avocadoes as that is a staple in our home! I got a ton of very useful information from this video- especially regarding type A and type B plants. Thank you!!
We are also beekeepers, so hopefully, they will take care of pollination...I did want to mention that all pollinating bees are "she", not "he" (your terrific animation referred to the bees as "he"). Hives are 90% female workers. There is typically 1 queen and about 10% of the population are male drones...but they do not collect pollen, nectar,...nor do they sting. They certainly have their useful contribution to the hive, but not to farmers looking for pollination. :)
Interesting!
straight to the point. Love this, thank you for the information!
you're welcome One Foto.
I think you are right about just planting the seed I did this, it hasn't grown yet, but it has strong roots. I'm in Qatar so is very hot and although the plant is in the shade I feel is just to hot to grow a healthy plant. Thank you for the video and for the time you took to teach us.
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation, I don't see how this can be explained better!
thanks a lot!
Awesome! Thank you. I'm in Mexico. I've got 4 different seeds going. I know one is a Hass. The other three are very unique seeds. I'm digging the process of watching them break open and start to grow. Thanks for the info. Great stuff.
You got it! Good luck with the trees
Thank you very much for giving us more about avocado !
Outstanding video! One of the best I have seen in a very long time!
wow! Thanks a lot Vince! I needed that little pick me up in the middle of my day.
The best ever explanation I ever seen thank you very much. Love from Australia.
Thanks Mahmut. A lot of the channel viewers and subs are from Australia...you guys have a great culture of growing your own food over there.

Hi Marius! Good luck with your trees.
My Avocado plant is doing surprisingly well, especially since it's Autumn time, it's been growing more leaves so can't wait to plant it outside when it gets bigger 😊
keep us posted Paperworks.
Blessings, love what you're doing sir 👍🏾👌🏾❤🙏🏽
Thank you Doreen
Great explaination with clear voices.
thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to make a compliment.
Am in Namibia and learnt a lot from this guy., keep mentoring us with this type of videos.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How's it going Frans from Nambia?
It's getting hot here about summer now.., I would love to have as many avocado trees in my garden as you do
This is a thousand dollar information in 23 minutes. Thank you.
you're welcome Ramsui. Thanks for the comment.
Great guy and real knowledgeable 👍i recommended him 💯%
Thank u on putting video for grafting I appreciate it
This is awesome! So informative. I've been all about learning how to graft and propagate fruits lately, and this is my best video on grafting. So upfront and clear. Definately joining your community.
Zambia.
thanks Enock
Thank you! Very entertaining! I irresponsibly purchased and avocado tree today and now I’m wishing I’d done some research and just bought a t-shirt instead! 😆
Hi Dia, what happened to your tree? What variety did you purchase?
I live in the SF Bay Area. The house down the street from me has some of the best Avocados I've ever tasted. Might have to ask them if I can get a small branch. Thanks for the video. This was really informative.
that's what people around here do...we go around trading cuttings. Let us know if you go through with it and good luck!
Omg brother thank you so much for posting this video!!!
you got it AJ!
This biggest question I ask myself, quite often is... Why DON'T I live in a climate, where Avocado's can be grown.... whether or not I even attempt to grow them! LOL I could live anywhere I want, but I'm here in the cold! This is a really good video... I appreciate your explanations!
I used to wonder the same thing.
Thanks for sharing your videos, as i on my retirement i going to make that my normal practice to view all your videos, take care of yourself bro be safe and healthy my bro.
thanks for your thoughtful comment
I really appreciate you. good job
Yusuf, that's about the best thing you can tell a person. Thank you.
This dude is the coolest
Here’s why I won’t argue with you Mr. SleepyLizard: You’re a professional avocado farmer, and I am a novice weekend home gardener....barring any cataclysmic event, I’ll listen to someone who knows what the heck he’s talking and doing ;)
PS: your “why you won’t get haas avocado from an avocado seed” is probably the best and most eye-opening informative video I’ve ever seen!....it finally hit me square in the brain that yes, i do have to graft...and there’s no way around it...
NightfireOP, thanks for that comment. I really appreciate it.
Holly from Toronto is determined to grow the first fruiting avocado tree! Thanks for your video bud it was great and so informative!!
thank you. you can do it!

I love avocado so much, but now they are out in c.t
I tried realy, with my daughter to grown avocados so many times,
but nothing come .I have also fertilizer and very good soil to grown?
@@febiaivy4702 You need a grafted tree. Maybe two.
Very thorough, specific, informative, well explained and presented. Good man!
Lando, thanks for that compliment. I was having a challenging day and your words lifted my spirits.
Thank you so much for sharing the way to graft avocados. I bought a plant already grafted . Please don’t ask me for the variety or the tree the graft came from but we still got 6 normal sized avocados . Now the tree is getting taller and a lot of shoots coming and hopefully we might have more avocados. I bought the plant from a nursery in Sydney and I am in Melbourne. I hope things will go well. Thank you again for sharing this interesting video. Jose from Melbourne Australia
Jose, that's great news. Good luck on this year's crop.
I love the steps of your teaching, it makes it so clear to learn
Thank you NawPaw. I really appreciate the compliment.

Trees are different and there not all the same
Like the locus tree that you find around fancy parking lots , The tree with the teeny little leaves everyone of The Locust trees that is planted in the United States is a graft.

You give incredible motivation !! Thanks so much! Happy New Year 2022!
Happy New Year Chris.
G'day mate, your very good at explaining thing, and funny at time. I really enjoying your videos. Thanks mate.
Thank you for taking time to share your kind words. I appreciate it.
I wish we had some of the varieties you have. Im growing 4 varieties and just started grafting. Is it possible to graft an A type and a B type to the same root stock.
@@frasercoastfoodforest3092 Yes. You can graft multiple varieties to the same rootstock and create a tree that gives different types of avocados. The flowering type doesn't matter you can mix A and B. I've yet to see it with my own eyes but everything I've read says you can successfully graft 4 varieties onto the same tree.
I'm very grateful to live in this part of the world. A lot of avocado and mango varieties originated in South Florida. Australia looks like a pretty nice place too! Imma check out some of your vids.
Awesome, I think I'll give it a go. I have a 3 year old seedling.
Don't forget to check back in and let us know how it goes. Good luck!
Thanks for this fantastic video! I see on your website that you sell scions. Do you have choquette scion wood available? Also, when is the best time to graft in terms of the environment, if any. Thanks.
Omar, yes I have choquette available. Scion wood can be harvested all year but the best time is Jan/Feb. We have a higher success rate with our grafts when we take clippings in Jan/Feb.
Your so good to explain to the listeners who's entering of doing planting avocado in the near future ...thanks man .....bless u always & keep doing to make life easier ......./ & wonderful world......hooray!!!!!!!
Villardo, thanks for the positive encouragement. The internet needs more people like you!
Dude. More then I ever needed to know about Avacados, but you killed me with that kids growing weed in their bedrooms and being able to hide it from their parents. Hilarious!
🤣
What I observe is that most of my avocados seeds are sprouting more than two sprouts some three sprouts very few of them send a single sprout do u cut off the extra sprouts and leave them with only one or two sprout
Adalbert, yes that happens sometimes. Go ahead and cut the thinnest ones, keep the thick dominant one.
So cool! I had never heard of grafting before :) think I’ll wait for my seedling to grow more until January and look for a good tree to do the graft with - I’m totally new to gardening sand this is all so fascinating to me. I wonder: does that work for mango trees too? I have a cute mango seedling I’m nursing back to life (my neighbor let the poor thing dry out lol) and I’m thinking grafting would do it good... and what if the graft isn’t quite from the same variety of the seedling? Do we get like a hybrid fruit?
Sarolia, yes we graft our seedlings when the diameter is close to the width of a pencil. You mentioned you location in another comment and i'm confident you'll be able to find a tree to graft from.
As for mango, yes grafting works but unlike avocado some varieties of mango produce polyembryonic seeds which give you seedlings that grow "true from seed" which means grafting is not necessary, you will get the exact same fruit. Or, if your variety is not polyembryonic you can graft onto it.
As for your question about variety the answer is no, you can graft any type of mango onto a seedling grown from any mango seed. The fact is, excluding polyembryonic varieties a seeding grown from seed isn't really a "type" of mango...it is a mix of the DNA from the mother tree and the other tree that fertilized it. The same holds true for avocado.
Regarding what you get, no you don't get a hybrid, you get the exact tree and fruit that you took the clipping from. Think of it this way, the seedling (or rootstock) stops growing upward but continues to grow below the ground producing the root system. The cutting (or scion, or budwood) continues to grow upward. So if you graft a Hass cutting onto a seedling grown form a Wadlin seed you wind up with a Hass avocado tree that produces Hass avocados.
I apologize because I keep giving you homework assignments but here's another vid that explains all the above in more detail: th-cam.com/video/jlZ-MVwayQU/w-d-xo.html
@@SleepyLizard this is all fascinating! I don’t mind it! I’m enjoying all those discoveries :) thank you 🙏🏽

You're welcome
I don't have any avocado tree that I can graft to seedling. Could my seedling can bare fruit in few years?
Hi Lala and Tom, Yes a seedling can bear fruit but it usually takes a decade or more and often the fruit isn't too tasty. This vid explains it better: th-cam.com/video/yWAR_DotvZs/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for the all great tips. You are very-very good in this demonstrations. I m lucky to live in avocados farms country. At here, I can have great Hass and quite cheap from groceries stores all year. I started my grafting citrus (mandarins on lemon or kaffir) since last year and hands pollinating cherimoyas.. nothing better than spending time in the garden during lockdown..stay save everyone.
I agree. thank you for reaching out.
What am I doing on Christmas eve? Watching Tom, fun and educational. I never heard of A and B flowers, pollening on opposite days. Thank you! Bill
It's a fascinating evolutionary tactic for sure
