hass avocado trees

[Kozta111]

Hi, I have a 8 foot haas avocado tree growing in the ground in zone 9a St.Augustine Florida. Do you think it will survive the winter? How can I protect it in the winter? The coldest it gets in the winter is 28 degrees F. Some winters it doesn't even get that cold. Thanks

Best. Fruit. Ever.

Nice! Would love to have a tree like that in my yard :) I LOVE LOVE VLOE Avocados :)

Same issue as Miracale Grow. Too much salt. Steer manure is the worst of the compost junk sold. Never use steer manure or mushroom compost. SALTY. And streer manure is usually just dairy cow, REALLY SALTY.

Salt and toxins show up as leaf burn on the avocado tree. Use powered gypsum to help flush out the salt and water a lot, JUST MAKE SURE THE WATER is draining and not drowning the tree. It will re bud soon and grow out of it

Hi,I made the mistake of mixing steer manure with the soil during transplanting my Fuerte avocado trees.I did mix some compost also but now,they don't look good.I don't know if they went into a shock or simply dying...Would you recomend something ? I have been watering good too I guess...Maybe cut back on the water ??? Thanks

[Growquest]

Miracle Grow may be used by some home gardeners, but too high in its salt index for commerical growers and too expensive. Superthrive, I have met that old man, not sure if he alive any more, he may been drinking that stuff....lol. Superthrive won't hurt, I don't know if it will help either. Grow Power and other humic acide fertilizers are great for starting your tree.

a few questions..#1, will cow dong or chicken dropping promote growth!, #2 will ..........V-F 11 do anything for the avocados to produce fruit faster, ..#3 if my soil is not so CLAY like, can GYPSUM help it performance anyways..#4 from what you know does MIRACLE Grow work at all?..#5 what your take on SUPERTHRIVE....formula..

[Growquest]

@pRiNcEzZSLaLa Cow or steere manure has way too salt in it and is very damaging to avocado trees. Chicken manure is used in avocado orchards by some growers but it needs to be composted down. Gypsum is to help remove salts from the soil of all western soils.

I've read online that Hass Avocado trees can hardly do well in Nor.Cal and end up dying real quickly..Could they make in Sacramento?

[Growquest]

They will grow in the Sacramento region with a lot of mothering or fathering I guess in the winter. I have had several really good gardeners do well with plantings in Fair Oaks and Folsom, but they really kept an eye on there trees in the winter. They also bought at one time or over a few years several different varieties to increase pollination

Hi, I am wondering if you have a video on the pinkerton avocado tree? I am wondering which will usually fruit earliest, or will be most prolific compared to others? Are there others that give more fruit than the hass (I ask because I have a hass tree already & I'd like to plant two or three others as well). thank you

[Growquest]

Hass is not the heaviest producing tree. Bacon, Zutano and Mexicola's produce far more more fruit. But it is the rich buttery flavor of Hass, Sir Priz Hass, Lamb Hass and other hass that people typically want. The other trees are great for making salads or gaucamole. Mexicola's have a very zesty flavor.

My great grandfather grandpa Hass was a genius when he created the Hass Avocado tree but he was also free kin impatient. If it wasn't for great grandma Hass he would of chopped the tree down and we would have never had such delicious avocados thank you great grandma Hass R.I.P 1999 October. I was the last great grandchild she saw before she past on telling the story of my great grandfather and his Hass Avocado Tree. Everyone tells me I inherited his green thumb.

[gfc56]

@nettie0930 Wow that is a great story. Don't let the talents you inherited from Grandpa go to waste.

[pRiNcEzZSLaLa]

Wow! fast response I stay in San Jose Ca.... if you guys would have been close by, for sure i would have gone to buy my avocado trees from your Nursery....you guys provide great videos and awsome information......

[pRiNcEzZSLaLa]

at this size can you apply sun/blocker to the trunk and leaves?.......or is that just applyed when they are young?

[Growquest]

In areas of intense sun light like inland Ca, AZ, TX, FL and in Mexico it is best to apply a half water half latex paint mixture to the new wood and old wood until the tree has a very heavy leaf canopy.

@Growquest Is this what causes some leaves to burn some? I have a Joey Avocado I think... might be Brazos Belle... but the leaves on it brown quite a bit and I've had it for 5-6 months now and it just seems to have been stunted on its growth. I water it with about a gallon every 2-4 days, depending on conditions... is this what causes my browning leaves? Any suggestions? I use a Avocado/Citrus(6-4-6 by Scotts) that I've added twice over the past 4-6 months.

24" Clonal Hass are about 350.00 per tree and delivery charges are 50.00 to 75.00 per order
