    Hey, just wanted to Thank you for all the information you provide. When ever I have a question, I'll google it and it will usually direct me to one of your many (CZcams) 2:06 videos. I've learned a lot these last few years, thanks to you.
    Again, Thanks for taking the" time" to make and share your vast knowledge.

    thanks for the very informative video! i bought a grafted hass avocado tree a year ago and there were hundreds of flowers and some fruit would set and i was so excited. but as the summer went on, i saw so many fruit drop, now there is only 1 remaining avocado. thank you for sharing your experience with fruit drop, it's good to know that this is normal. hopefully my 1 avocado survives!

      LOL Exactly my experience Calvin! It is so frustrating to see that happen. Seems like there would be a way to stop the avocado tree from doing this. Maybe, thin out the avocado fruit would help and keep the tree from over signaling if you will to drop its fruit and dropping too much?

    I am in South Africa and has just planted an avocado tree. I'm learning how to take care of tree. This video will assist me during the time fruits appear on the tree to understand fruit drop

    This was incredibly helpful! We recently bought a ranch with around 70 avocado trees. Now, I wish I had thinned out the fruit because in the spring, each branch had over a dozen tiny avocados and in some cases, all the new fruit fell from the entire tree. I feel like if I had thinned them from 12 to 2 or 3 per cluster, they would have fared better.

      Hi Carl, What varieties are the trees? Sometimes if you get heat over about 95 you can lose very small avocado fruit too.

    Thank you for making this! I get so stressed this time of year as I walk though my grove and I see so many baby avocados on the ground. But I know they won’t all fall and now that I have a better fertilizing and water schedule plus all the much I have laid to retain water, my trees are happy and healthy. P.S. I still would love to interview you and do a farm tour video of your place. Thanks from fallbrook!

      Thanks. I was hoping it would relieve stress. I would love to have more people visit but there are two challenges: my wife won't allow it; and my place is not really that interesting. It's just a large yard, not a true farm. But if any of this changes, I'll let you know!

    Have you found that one variety drops more fruit than others? Thanks for the video

    • @gregalderdotcom
      @gregalderdotcom  Před 3 lety +1

      Good question. Kind of. Varieties that tend to set a ton of fruit also drop more small fruit. Lamb, Gwen, and Reed are examples. But these varieties usually still end up with very good yields in the end because they'd set so much fruit initially.

  • @medhatal-refaie6077

    Thanks for the video. I have some questions. The first is: Is simultaneous cross-pollination more efficient between two different verieties of avocado trees in the same field? Or can it also be done efficiently between trees of the same verieties? Which one is better? . Second: If it were better for simultaneous cross-pollination between two different verieties of avocado trees, which veriety would you prefer as the veriety that blooms simultaneously as a male and the Haas veriety as a female? Third: If we have a field with 100 trees totally, what is the appropriate number of male trees that correspond to the appropriate number of female trees or rather what is the ratio between them? What is the optimal distribution map for the distribution of those 100 trees in the field? Thank you very much in advance.

      Most of those questions are answered here: gregalder.com/yardposts/cross-pollination-of-avocados-or-why-i-planted-a-hass-next-to-a-fuerte/
      Also see this post: gregalder.com/yardposts/all-about-avocado-pollination/
      Most avocado growers who plant pollenizers (B-type avocados) for Hass plant about 10 percent, and they do so in an arrangement such that every Hass tree has a side that is adjacent to a pollenizer tree. But not all growers do this.

    Thanks for the great video Greg. I would like to learn more about your fertilizing methods.
    Also, I recently bought a Reed that is covered in persea mites, I started spraying the back of the leaves with Neem oil, hopefully it will get rid of them because I don't want it to infect my other avocado trees. I wonder if you have had an infestation of persea mites and how you handled them. Oh, there was a beep in between clips on your video, are you using a new video editor? I was wondering. Thanks for your great info. Greg.
