California Gardening nice
you sound familiar man, are you an Indian?
California Gardening ....Do I need two trees to get the Avocado to make the fruit? I have a gem, but only one tree.

My grandparents had avacado trees in San Diego. She would pick lots of fruit, wrap them in newspaper or tissue paper and stack them in lug boxes and stack them in a very dark closet in her house and she would pull out a few at a time and set them in her window to ripen. She had avacados all year. Sue
Sue Hoerauf great people your grandparents
50fruits=45/50trees 😏😏😏😏
Tell us more about how she did it? I am considering getting a couple of avocado trees but how to make sure I can save the fruit for eating as needed thru the non bearing times /dormant time / fall-winter. What is a lug box?
Your video has been by far the most helpful in explaining all the different steps and stages of the plant cycle. Also it gave many pros and cons of planting this variety. Thank you for your hard work and time.
I grew up in San Diego and our avocado tree was HUGE. It was a Haas for sure. One year it would produce a small amount of fruit...next year it would produce so much we were giving them away by the paperbag full. I’m talking large paper bags from Food Basket.
Nobody in our neighborhood lacked avocados for guacamole.
🥑❤️🥑😋👍🏼
I live in SD too, hopefully one day I can get my own avocado trees😋🥑
This is a really good and very informative video. I love avocados and now thanks to you sir I can now grow my own hass avocados. OH thank you for explaining about spreading GE to help ward of crawling insects. Great video thank you very much for sharing your vast knowledge.
I started my tree with toothpicks from a pit. Now it's 5+ years old, twenty feet tall, loaded with blossoms & recently harvested of about 50 delicious avocados from last year. It can be done. You can do it too. Just water the daylights out of them & protect them from dehydration from various sources.
I was told that when you grown them from a seed they don't produce fruit and they need to be implanted a branch from another tree that give fruit.?? Please advice.
Juan Luis Nieto I was told the same thing by many so-called experts. They were wrong. It depends on the seed & how fast it grows. I start multiple pits in water cups with toothpicks & the ones that sprout & root quickly are the ones I plant into pots. The fastest growing seedlings are the most likely to produce fruit the fastest. I have a six year old tree grown from a pit that was very fast growing from the beginning. This will be the third year it blossomed & the second year it is producing. Last year I got about 50 large delicious fruit from it. This year it has ten times the number of fruit growing on it. This fall I should get somewhere between 100 & 300 delicious large avocados on a six year old tree grown from a pit. I think the biggest challenge is keeping them from getting dehydrated when they are young. You need to keep them out of direct sunlight & wind for long periods of time until they are old enough to endure it & keep them well watered in porous soil.

***** Hello Duster Dan, May I ask what climate you live in? I live in Southern Ca. Riverside. Also, what kind of avocado did you use.
Thanks.
teamdicky91 Riverside is perfect for avocados, but they will need a little more water than they would in the tropics or down near San Diego because Riverside is dryer & hotter. I've been using what I believe to be a native fruit that resembles a Pinkerton. Just remember if there's two things I would advise, 1. There is no such thing as over watering avocado trees in a desert like Riverside. 2. You can grow quality fruit bearing trees from a pit if you select fast growing seedlings & water them well. I'm convinced the reason why so many have issues growing good fruit bearing trees from a pit is because they under water them & they don't throw away the slow growing seedling & move on until they find fast growing seedlings. If a pit is not showing signs of enthusiasm, throw it away & start new ones until you find the fast growers. Then, water them well & get-em in the ground quickly after they root. Keep them in the shade until about 1 year old & keep them watered well. Riverside has the perfect soil for this.
I went to an avocado festival 2 years ago and now I have a beautiful tree from a mega avocado, seed was big as my palm, it’s about 2 1/2 feet tall now. Toothpicks and water is all you need plus TLC 😉 Fruit or no fruit I’m just stoked that I have a beautiful tree.
I envy all those avocado growers in Southern California,you guys live in a heaven clime
to grow avocados,mainly the Hass type varieties. Avocado plants to my experience are
very picky as to clime conditions. Like this video because it shows the final results.
Thanks so much for the up load.
This is a gem of a video. Love that it is a small tree that won't take over your entire backyard.
Sir... your gardening tips are absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing your well researched and experienced knowledge in such well produced segments!
I love how you explain everything.. I want an avocado tree!!
Man, that little jingle when you transition to the next month gets me every time. Right in the heart.
+kittybookitty Thanks for the feedback :) much appreciated!
+California Gardening How about on winter time.. what are the things you will do to protect the avocado tree?
+ving ling We don't get a hard freeze here, but if you do get a hard freeze, you can plan to grow it in a large container and get it indoors at night. This Avocado plant doesn't like freezing temps!
Helo i am from Nepal and i am going to plant 500 pieces of avacado plant in my garden and i want to go commercial and i think there is no good market in Nepal what i have to do for my market is there any agency who buy avacado from me .
Farming Group sir,I'm from south India.here are a lot of trees n we are collecting avocado in every year n exporting to Delhi,Mumbai ...you can also do like this with the permission of authorities
Beautiful Avocado, you really have a green thumb, thanks for sharing. I live in Texas and I love growing stuff, the GEM is beautiful i wish i can grow it here however it's hard to get a GEM avocado plant, I hear Joey avocado is very cold hardy as well. I wish i could get a cutting from you. I have small avocado plants that i would love to graft to a GEM. Thanks for taking the time to share. Don't stop posting videos.
Enjoyed your video! I eat 1/2 an avacado almost everyday, and so i would love to raise them myself. Thank you for the good info.
You just convinced me to grow Gem avocados. Excellent video!
Excellent. I'll come back to this video many times to refresh my memory as my 2 avocado trees mature. Thanks, from the Southern tip of Texas.
Alan Flowers
Ha ha.. This is my 4th time going tru..
How is the tree doing
Nice video. I am currently growing an avocado tree in my patio and i am exited to see it growing. I can't wait to see and taste the results.
You are a great and patient teacher.
You make growing avocados look so easy! Unfortunately, where I live we have heavy soil and certain diseases which make it very difficult to grow this beautiful fruit but it doesn't stop me from trying LOL Thanks for the interesting video :)
Self Sufficient Me Thanks! Yes its a bit difficult to grow avocados in some zones and some soil types. But nice to know that you are trying. Good luck! You have very nice videos in your channel!
Try the dwarf Murtz variety; can be grown in a container or raised bed.
Hi Mark from @selfsufficientme
Water quality alone has a huge impact on avocados.
Our water, even straight from the tap, is not good enough for them. The require low EC (salts) and low chloride content.
Hopefully mixing 5% charcoal into the growing media makes a difference, otherwise I’ll need filtered or rain water just for it.
Gary Matsuoka has a video which is very long and detailed. He speaks about soil requirements indepth. czcams.com/video/CuUuGOJwSeo/video.html
Bring in sand for drainage and grow tree on a mound then it will achieve drainage
Thanks for your time helping us choose a type of avacados. I watched this video a very long time again, and have been searching for it since we are finally starting our homestead. I had to find out what kind of avacados you were growing, thanks a lot bunch!
Thank you so much!!!! I planted a Gem and planted it 18 years ago!!!! I live in San Diego. Well my husband woke up this morning to do his usual gardening. we grow all our vegs organically. He yelled through the door to come see!!! We have two babies!!!!! Finally! We needed to know what to do as far as fertilizing etc to better our tree and found you!!!!Its appr. 12 ft. tall now but never produced! I see now we learned alot from you. I prescribed to tou. I hope I hear more. YAY!!!!!!
june price That is awesome! I can imagine the joy when you see the fruits of your labor! Nice to know you liked the video. Love the Gem avocados! Happy Gardening!

Nice video, thanks for the advice; maybe i'll buy a grafted tree at some point. I've had some Florida avocado seeds already sprouting inside the fruit. I love that kind of life force. I planted one or two like that and they grow so fast and willingly - I like to see what happens. There is one that I started from a sprouting seed less than two years ago, which is already bigger than a variety I bought almost three years ago. I'm very curious how the fruit will come out. I've grafted some lemon trees, but I have half a dozen avos in my yard that grew from composted seeds! Too fun. I also have a mango growing from a seed which dropped from the mother tree.
Cimemiento for the walls out THE PATIO
Interesting. I am at Dehradun in North India. I brought several seeds from Assam and grew them into trees that started fruiting after 8 years. I believe it is Fuerte, 300 to 500 gms. Flowers in
Dec and ready by end Jul but best tasting after rains subside in end August.
Surprisingly, one tree is flowering twice a year, in Sep n Dec for the last 2 years.
Am introducing Booth and Hass, though from seed. Hope to procure grafted Hass this season.
Bhai muje hass ka grafted plant chahiye fruit ke liye ... Yaar arrange karsak te ho please .
Thank you! Your patients in creating this video is much appreciated!
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Happy Gardening!
THANKS! This is the best video on growing Avocados that I've seen yet! I want to grow a GEM Avocado!
Wow I love it.. Avocado is one of my favorite fruit that's why I'm planning to grow one avocado in our backyard..
3 years later, did you ever plant the avocado?
Thanks so much for all the information. I have a small avocado tree in my backyard that has not done well. I have been thinking of moving it to a sunnier location because the trees and bushes near it have grown large and are shading it.
Gardening With Puppies Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated! Nice to know, avocados are such a joy to grow and eat.
What do the leaves look like on your tree? Describe them for me & I'll tell you why it's not doing well.
Try cutting back the branches on the other trees and bushes rather than move the tree.
what a nice introductory video! I bought a plant half way through it. Many thanks
Beautiful trees and fruit. You have a green thumb for sure. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a great video! I am definitely getting a Gem avocado plant when I can. I like the fact that it's a dwarf plant.
Stet Tan Glad you liked it! Yes, dwarf trees takes less space and produce almost the same amount of fruits, so they are a good choice. Good luck with your avocado tree!
I just love you. you seem like the wisest person on youtube
Catty Girl hi
Wutt?😂😂😂
Beautiful and easy to understand and follow. I prefer the GEM avocado because it short and bears fruit that can be harvested 6-7 months old. They turn burgundy and ready to eat in time. Besides, the seed is smaller than others that are big and eat up the space for its flesh. Thank you very much.
My father just ate his avocado this morning and plan to start planting avocado with the seed. This video is nice :))
I love avocado! My favorite recipe is guacamole. 💕
Very well made video. Complete cycle of flowering to harvest must have taken a lot of patience!
AWESOME THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! You are amazing from start to finish.
Very helpful video, I've learnt a lot, thanks. We have many types of avocados here in Hawaii, but I have no chance to get the GEM version. At least I've never seen this type anywhere here. I try to get one somehow though. Thanks again, happy gardening.
I've watching videos on how to increase yield from my dwarf avocado tree. We've had it about seven years but typically only get about 7 or 8 fruit that grow to maturity. In April we get a lot of fruit buds, but most end up on the ground. Was wondering what I might do to see that those buds that end up on the ground remain on the tree to maturity. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Great Video! You're so informative on your techniques and it shows by seeing how beautiful your tree and avocado fruit looks. I planted my avocado in a wine barrel to control the growth. It's doing fairly good however I need to fertilize it more such as what you showed on the video. Happy gardening!
+Millie at CentralCAgarden Thank you! Happy Gardening!
I love this video! Good information.
Awesome video! I couldnt wait til he cut it open at the end 😀 Lol best part.
Great video! Only one comment, the Gem actually has a larger seed than Haas. For those wondering, Gem are pretty identical in taste to Haas.
First things first: Love watching your channel! Thanks for sharing so much content. Do you recommend growing/ harvesting fruits from a plant that has been grown from a seed? Thank you in advance
Thanks for the feedback! I do not recommend growing fruit trees from seed unless you are very sure of what you are doing.
I love your video and especially that you produce fruit and vegetation with the lesson you give and therefore teach there can be trust to know what your talking about keep the videos coming I love watching them.
Wow 😲 what a fruitful avocado 🥑 tree !!!
Lovely vid !
I am a commercial Avocado grower with over 7000 GEM trees in southern California. I agree with pretty much everything you say on your video, except for one thing. You should not harvest GEM avocados until they have sufficient oil content. This we find, in Southern California, happens by late February. This will give you the best quality fruit. Also the brown bruise shown on the young fruit is caused by sunburn, something rare on a GEM as they set their fruit inside the canopy for the most part..
Man, that looks amazing. Great video
+Kato Khaelan Thank you, nice to know you liked it :) Keep growing!!
As usual, a great video, thanks for posting!!!
Hi,
Thanks for the excellent video - I learned some stuff about avacados that I didn't know, too.
I'd like to grow one indoor. Not in a dimly lit corner or by a window sill. I'm talking about a proper indoor garden with proper grow lighting and temperature/humidity controlls.
Is there any way you could provide some tips on doing this? Thanks very much.
I have 3 1- is in my back yard. it's 4 years old. Since 3 years old it started to give fruits but last summer it gave so much that I had to give then to everybody that I could find. This one is very sweat. I took one of the seeds and grow another one.The third one was a different type of avocado that a friend gave me to see if I like it so I could plant the seeds and I loved it because this one is buttery. In July they will be 1 years old but they are pretty big. I keep cutting them so they can through side shoot. I grow them in compost and from one seed, they gave 2 plants. I'm wondering can I grow them in pots and will they give fruits?

Thank you for sharing for explaning nicely..
EXCELLENT Video! Thank You. EVERYTHING I've needed to know, to grow My Favorite, AVOCADOS!👐😄❤👑
woah I really like how you told us almost everything about your avocado tree
Great video, Thank you so much!
Hi California Gardening,
I live in California, but I am unable to find a GEM avocado tree for sale anywhere. After watching this video I really want to have this tree a part of my garden. Can you please tell me how can I get my hands on one of those trees. Thanks
Thank you 😊 for your time and growing tips for Gem 🥑 Avocado
0:03 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣HELLDY....LOL BUT GREAT VID I DID LEAR ALOT FROM YOU AND YOU HELP ME MAKE UP MY MIND TO GROW... KEEP IT UP
Hi CG! I live in LA and would love to get a dwarf Gem like yours, where would you recommend ? links?
thanks!!
excellent video. I'm jealous of your plant
Tried growing a Fuerte as I have not found any of the GEM variety at the big box home improvement stores. This last winter and spring was a one two punch of freezing temperatures then weeks of 100 + weather. I live in Menifee, CA south of Riverside. Planted in early spring and by summer my poor tree was burnt to a crisp.
I'm thinking of growing in a container this time around as the last time I planted in the sunniest part of the yard. Figure I can move the container to avoid both freezes (we are at around 1,400 ft elevation) and extreme heat events.
Any advice on the Fuerte variety or my location in general?
Thank you so much for all the great info on avocados and growing your own. I would LOVE to have a fruit bearing avocado tree in my yard but I'm living in Portland, OR and it's a little too rainy and cold for that. . In fact, this climate is not good for *ME* either!!!!! lol I'll just have to stick to the ginger, turmeric and garlic which I hope to get started from your helpful tips this month!! So your help is much appreciated by me! :D
Love your video, I want to steal ur avocado trees hehehe
LOL
Thanks for the video. That seed looks about the same size as all Hass Avocados I've eaten. Same amount of space between outter skin and seed. From what it looks like on video. I do want to try those. Ill have to find a place that carries them.
Superb video! Instantly subscribed.
Thank you for the presentations and advice
Question! After harvesting all the avocadoes and at the end of winter, what do you do to the plant to make it grow avocadoes again? Do you cut the branches? Advice would be great! Thank you!
Excellent video :-) Probably, the best I've seen on the subject :-) Thanks for making it :-)
+DStray Cat Thank you for the feedback, nice to know you liked this video!
+California Gardening bro if the seed takes 15 years to produce then how do the people that sell the parent do wait 15 years
+josh rojas Good question! The people that sell trees use a rootstock (base tree) and then use a graft (which is a branch or bud from a mature tree) which then produces fruit. A lot of nurseries grow root stocks just for this purpose. They are not the real fruit tree but in the same family. Another example is that orange trees and lime trees are grafted on to citron (a citrus base plant) rootstock. A lime seed takes several years but the grafted tree bears fruits immediately. That is why in nurseries/garden stores you see small plants in pots but still bearing fruit. Hope that explains it!
California Gardening thanks thats crazy how nature is so diverse . and all providing
+California Gardening That makes a whole of sense. Thank you for that. I have a double peach that has now died unfortunately. I've checked the two separate stems and it's dry right through. I'm thinking of cutting it way back to the rootstock and rather than getting rid of the whole tree, I will graft one of our favourites here, a Golden Queen on to this rootstock. I know the rootstock isn't dead as it has lots of shoots coming growing from it.
Great vid! Thank you! How can I know which variety of avocado I'm growing? I have 3 which I started in a glass of water and transferred then to a pot a month ago. They're doing great but I'm not sure how they'll turn out. The leaves look a lot darker than the gem variety.
I must say ... your channel is good and something different ...u completely guide everytime 😍😍😍😍😍
When the Avocado tree drops its leaves......leave them at the base of the tree and do not move or rake them away. The Avocado tree has many, many sub surface roots which depend on those fallen leaves for shade and moisture. Our property has 5 large Hass avocado trees and thrive due to leaving those leaves around its bases (trunk). You may, also, spray paint (water based white paint) your trees (and its trunk) to reflect the sun rays which harm the green limbs of your Avocado trees which should stay green and NOT turn brown from too much sun exposure. Nice video!
I enjoyed watching your video. I'm growing fruit trees in the backyard including avocado. I've learned something new from this video.
I really enjoyed the presentation. gave a lot of good info
Great Video mate.
Can you do a follow up video on how your avocado is doing after 3 years ?
Your avocado looks great :) Greetings from Poland!
Can I grow my own tree? I live in the Netherlands and i dont know if the weather is good enough to get some fruits. Thx for replying?
Thank you for video.
Have u noticed that when u buy them at the store they gave dark bruise spots on inside. When picked from tree & ripened in my home they are beautiful & green.
My favorite fruit.where can you buy grafted trees, which state?
GREAT VID. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU SOLD YOUR BRANCHES FOR PEOPLE TO CRAFT. HAVE THAT IN MIND..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
I just recently planted a Haas and Brogden avocado tree I purchased from Lowe's in my backyard. I planted them somewhat close because one is an A tree and the other is a B tree. Let's hope they make it.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
We love Avocado fruit😊
And we have 20 + of Avocado trees at our backyard 😊
You got amazing healthy trees look 👍
I urgently need to buy a gem avocado. Please let me know where I can buy one. Also could it be grown in a container?
I love all your videos. Thank you very much.
soo fresh protein!
I am growing a mexicola grande in eureka, ca and it loves it here! It even grows in the winter months. It flowered this season but no fruit. The literature says that next season it will produce small fruit that will drop and will produce fruit the following season.
I always though Haas was the avocado of choice. Thanks for explaining the types, I am now looking to grow the dwarf tree. I am always looking to optimize the real estate I have. So a dwarf variety makes sense. Thank you very much for this information
golinsky2008 That is right, most people know Haas but that isa commercial variety and grows into a large tree. For small yards and space constraints, dwarf trees are a better choice.
Hi, I live in Central California. Where can I buy this avocado tree?
Thank you very much for the comprehensive video on the Gem avocado. It's very informative. Can you make a separate video on Sheppard avocado, please?... Or, suggest a few good links? I have a young seedling (about 10 inches tall) grown from seed for about 3 months now. I couldn't find any instructions with regard to caring for this young plant; is it self-pollinating? I know it will take many years before fruiting, but that's not my goal. I want an ornamental bonsai-like avocado tree. It so happened that I bought the fruit, ate it, and then decided to plant it. Thank you very much in advance.
thank you so much for showing how to grow avocado plants. I have tried for years and could not grow it. thanks again!! thumbs up.
Thank you for your excellent videos. Can you please provide a link as to where I may be able to buy the Gem Avocado - I am in Central FL - willing to pay reasonable shipping form CA if that is the only State that they are available.
GEM trees are only grown at Brokaw Nursery in Ventura Ca. I don't know the regulations for shipping them out of state as there is concern about transmission of pest.
Do you allow people to see your vegetable garden? we would like to meet you whenever we're in your area someday.
im planning to growing lots of avocado trees down in mexico. dang, also i didnt know its a fruit. great video dude.
That avocado fruit looked nice!! yummy! GEM variety is it for me.
I planted my avocado trees last month: Reed and Lamb Hass.
Hi, update please. How was your avo- journey?
California Gardening I live in Fl. 6 months out of the year. Sept. to April. I planted a seed almost four years ago and now I have blooms fro the last two weeks . Its not grafted. Just very well watered and feed. I know it wont be the same kind but will they be any good to eat? It was a large green avocado.
+RAMONA SAMMET You got lucky with the plant giving you avocado so I would say just enjoy it!
I live in the Bay Area and planted one from pit eight years ago. I still got nothing today.
RAMONA SAMMET m

I just planted my Gem avocado tree from Brokaw nursery on Dusa rootstock. I have four other trees a Reed, a Lamb Hass, and a Sir Prize as well as a multi grafted tree which includes; fuerte, Mexicola and Hass.
We like to eat avocados directly with a spoon shaking a little salt on it, also really enjoy avocados on sandwiches and in salads.
Which is your favorite avocado? Im looking for a Dwarf variety
CG - did you read the item where it says Gem is the great grand-daughter of the Haas? This is going to be my avocado tree! Thanks a bunch.
Please tell us where you purchased your Gem avocado tree! TY, and love the video!
M Patrick : Dit you find out where we can purchase gem avocado tree?
You really do know how to produce a great quality video.
+Austin Paz Thank you, appreciate your feedback!
+California Gardening please can u tell me how do I graft mine ? Thank u
+California Gardening What type of avocado is best to grow in a colder climate? Thank you for for Time
DId we watched the same video ?
No , but we did watch the same video.
Hey thank you for this video👏🏼😄 so was just wondering if we mound should we cut out the grass and have a flat surface of our clay soil then put the good soil for this tree or should we just put the soil on the grass for this tree since we have clay soil? Thank you!
Very informative! Thanks!
