Spraying Avocado Flowers With Honey Water! Big Results and Lots of Fruit!

- So far this seems to work. I've been spraying flowers once a month since January and the results are certainly encouraging. I give each flower cluster about 5 sprays. I keep shaking the bottle to keep the honey and water well mixed.
Ants are the ones that pollinate my jujube flowers.
I have so many other flowering trees and plants in my garden. Avocado flowers are visited least by the honey bees for some odd reason. I have seen lots of wasp and flies, butterflies occasionally. At night I have seen moths, crane-flies, and lots of mosquitoes around trees. Oh and let's not forget ants. I have tried the honey and water spray but have not noticed any more or any less bees. The trees have some new fruits that I hope will stick. The trees are young. About 6 feet tall. I have a Lamb Hass, Bacon, and a Reed. All grafted trees from Garden View Nursery in Irwindale, California.
Thank you for sharing this method as any helpful hints to attract pollinators is a plus. Keep up the great videos.
If honey didn't work for you try putting ROSEMARY swatches (4-6" inches ea and use about 10-20) inside and between the branches. Bees love the smell of Rosemary and they love Rosemary flowers and Rosemary has a strong scent they can detect from far away. I learned this from a gardener guru.
Thanks 4 the info and getting right to the point. Keep rocking!!!!
Thanks!
Yes, Thanks for explaining the process. I attended a Saturday morning class @ Laguna Hills Nursery, but they didn't go into detail regarding the ratio & how often. Plus like everybody else, I was concerned about ants. Again "thanks" for being so through.
After using this method many times on many trees in many areas, I haven't seen any ants yet. That might change though. Thanks for watching.
What a great idea! Make sense. Thanks for sharing.
It's so awesome. I'll try that too! In Northern California.
Great!
Great idea, thanks for the share👍
Thank you for sharing this...
Always you have the difference 👏
Awesome Bro good job love it looks good thanks for sharing it.
Thank you
I would love to try and see what happened. Thanks for sharing
Love this idea. Thank you man!
Thanks!
Works on Tomato plants or any kind of plant with blooms. The bees will come back over and over and I never saw ants Jan, Feb March April and May . Central Florida.1/3 real honey to 2/3 water. You also are feeding the bees so that's nice too.
Yes indeed. I'll be doing this on most plants this year. I've yet to see ants either.
Thank you for the ratio of mix.
Wow
Thank you Sir for sharing your technique in encouraging the pollinators to come to your Avocado Tree. I will try this on my Avocado tree on the next fruiting season. I am just doing the natural way. You can also visit my garden. Stay connected.
You're welcome and good luck with your avocado tree. Yes let's stay connected. Happy gardening!
Wow good idea 👍
Lol that’s loaded
thanks
Fantastic video bro, you have some awesome fruit set.
I have a 4 year old Hass avocado tree I've been spraying hopefully I'll get some fruit to set this year
Thank you! Good luck with your Hass tree
@@AJTheGraftMan well let me tell you that I went to look at my tree today and it has 4 pea size avocados, all the other flowers are gone BUT it has a new cluster of baby flowers that are now opening.... is this normal???
Ariel Cortez yes it’s normal. It’s called staggered flowering and you get a longer season :)
Love your idea. And your passion to graphing. Show more of those videos I love them. Where did you get your scion wood for the exotic avocados? Please follow up with more of the avocado graphs.
Isn't it "graft" or "grafting"
Good concept that immediately had me thinking of it attracting destructive ants. But you could coat trunks with white paint or specialized paints to discourage the ants from climbing. Then again, there are ground techniques as simple as bottle caps with water and sugar to attract them to the far corners of the yard and satisfy their hunger.
Surprisingly, I haven’t seen ants so far
Thank you very informative👍
Someone get this man a tablespoon lol
Thanks for the content bro.
Lol ya a really big tablespoon. Thanks!
lol!
Do you know how much honey you loose by putting into a tblsp.than into bottle. Lol
You’re naval tree is an alternative bearing tree. I have an fierce which is similar. I take out half the flowers bunches during its bearing year. That happens because the tree expends too much energy during the heavy bearing season.
I did spry my tree and the bees 🐝 whas there In 100 of them around the tree
Great!
Love your it
I use the honey spray sometimes.
WoW!
I live in the Caribbean. I have a big avacado tree. Stars blooming from January to February. Blooms and fruit very heavily. But about 90% of the fruits fall off by July.
That’s strange. How old is the tree?
Thanks for the content bro..Love this idea..I have the same problem i will send you pictures
Hooked on your videos! Can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. Exciting and got me all reved up to try your experiment. Are you doing any pollination with a brush? Subscriber from Florida.
Thanks! Much appreciated! I’ve never done brush pollination, though I hear it can work. The spraying seems easier and faster, at least for me
It is first I know about use honey bee and water to make avocado giving fruit. Actually this can help pollination by bee and fast. A Good research. How many time we spray it during fruiting. I think other fruit trees are the same like avocado trees
Thank you. I spray once a month
Thanks for sharing Sir. I have a quick question. I have a Pinkerton tree I planted about 18 months ago. It has great looking flowers right now. But I see some small red ants and a few black ones in the flowers. I did see some small flies flying around as well. Should I be concerned about the ants? I’m feeling this way because some ants destroy my jujube flowers. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks
Ants can be good pollinators, but they can be a problem too. If leaves start to go missing, then I would do something about the ants
@@AJTheGraftMan Thank you brother. Leaves look fantastic. I will keep an eye on them.
Can sugar do the same
Save your honey, molasses does the same thing and cheaper. Looks good.
cool
I haven't tried this, how much difference do you think it made in percentage compared to the tree you didn't apply?
I didn't measure the difference. I just noticed it helps to make more fruit set.
How old is the graft? Looks healthy!
Thanks! About 2 years old
sir thankyou for sharing video. I have a question, how to make a lot of flowers sir?
Is that sweet that we expect?
Do you water less when you see the flowers
Water more
Sprayed my haas and it dropped all its leaves??? Lots of flowers but no leaves now. Watching…
That’s normal. Leaves will come back in a month or two
Does not attract ants?
I've sprayed five times since March and so far there are no ants
Did the nabal fruit?
Yes
How many mls per snap
Sir How quantity is best for tree honey and water ?
That’s mentioned in the video
When do you spray?
When the tree is flowering
Are the flowers scented?
No
@@AJTheGraftMan thank you ❤
Is there a follow-up to this? Re the Nabal?
Yes. I did a video about the Nabal and honey spray. You can check it out here:

Does your multi grafted avocado plants grow fruits within 1 years ?
It took about 2 years to make fruit
What about ants?
I've never seen ants show up after spraying this
How old this tree is ?
8 years old
What quality per pump?
So you like to mist the flowers. Then i gues you are mystifying. 🤣
😂 I guess so
aku njaluk bibite mas bro, tak tanem neng kebonku, oke gak.
