Wow, amazing fruitset on the Lamb. It's great when someone will tell you you can't grow something and you prove them wrong. Good for you 👍 Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make videos.
Sorry for the late response didn’t see your comment. Thank you for watching.🙏 I even show photos my of my avocado, citrus & bougainvillea, and they didn’t believe me. One of the staff even made a bet with me his entire paycheck but at that moment, he caught me off guard. I wasn’t prepared to stop everything out of my day and have him come onto my ranch, but next time I will take on his bet. Only one condition if he willing to go on RUclips and I will have it on RUclips of the bet😆 I will take his paycheck and donate to my favorite charity animal shelter.
How exciting, Betty. Such great production. I'm looking forward to seeing if my Lamb, Reed and Gem produce up here in Napa. Although, I know I will likely also have to deal with the critters once that lucky scenario takes place. I have thought of putting up a night camera on them in the future to see when and how they will be getting visitors and by whom.
Hi Jenn, I am exited for you. I looked up your growing zone in Napa. It's very similar to Paso weather. You should not have any problem growing avocados up there. My Lamb tree took little longer to produce fruits. Even Grey Alder from yard post Lamb trees took longer to produce fruits in San Diego county. Gem, Carmen, Gwen, Gillogly it's very precocious. It will produce fruits the first year after planted and it will hang on to the fruits. Especially Gillogly, Gillogly will continue to grow with fruits on a young trees from my observation. You mention you also grow Cabernet ? Do you sell your grapes to wineries ? or do you use it for your own wine making ? Three years ago I had an opportunity to taste some extremely high end wine from Napa at Eric Jensen's house the owner of Booker's Winery with lots of other high end wine makers/owners from Napa & Paso wine. Eric Jensen took me to each tables and pointed out some special wine I should tasted and spit it out before I leave that evening. I was at that event by my self and I was unaware some of those rare wine that I was tasting from Napa😂🤣😆😋until 8 months later. Long story. 8 months later we're in Encinitas Ca. with friends talking about high end wine from Napa. My husband & friend mentioning names of high end wine of Napa & prices. That is when I remembered I did took some photos of the wine event/wine bottles and recognize some of the names of wine bottles that my husband & friends mention that evening. Those wine was so good😋 I did not spit it out.😁 The wine that I was drinking was around $1,200-$3,000. a bottle😲😲😲 We have lots of 100 rated Paso wine in our cellar. We belong to all of top tier winery in Paso. We buy wine to drink and not sell. Cheer 🍷😉 PS, I also have trail cameras and security cameras throughout our property to keep track of animals & trespasser. I have thought putting camera under my avo. tree to see who's the thief. 😂
@ I love that. And the story about the wine that you spit vs. the wine you chose not to spit, so funny. I don’t drink much wine anymore, so when my husband takes me to an event or brings wine home, he knows which wine I really like by which ones I actually drink and not spit. My husband has his own small winery and makes about 300-350 cases each year of high end cabernet. He sources it from three different vineyards in the valley here. He has a very loyal client base and following and always sells out the day of his release or shortly after. I showed him your wine story to see if he knew of Eric Jensen. He says he does, and wondered if you sell your fruit to him. I told him I would relay his question to you. Also funny to hear you were in Encinitas, as I have friends and family who live there, and my family is from Rancho Santa Fe, just south of there.
@@jenny_avocado Hi Jenn, I am very familiar with Rancho Santa Fe. Prior to buying this property we did looked at lots home in Rancho Santa Fe, Santa Barbara, San Ynez & Napa Valley. Last charity function we were at was at a private home in Rancho Santa Fe. We were sitting next to Papa Doug Manchester😆It was a fun charity event. We decided we did not want to be in a gated HOA. We prefer having lots of space/acres. We love it here. Yes we sell half of our grapes to Eric Jensen of Booker Winery and half to George & Daniel Daou of Daou winery. We're next door to Daou winery, Law Estate winery and Adelaida Winery.
Enjoy watching your avocado trees. Next time when you update your trees tell us their age, I’m just curious to know what ages they start producing fruits . I put my trees in the ground for about 2 years and have a few avocados
Thank you for watching. The Lamb Hass is about 4 years old, eight feet tall. I am not letting any of my fruit trees grow any taller than 8 feet, so it's much easier to pick the fruits without climbing the ladder. I am controlling the height & width of the trees so it not blocking my view from inside the house. I find Lamb Hass takes lot longer to produce fruit than other varieties of avocados. Same as Grey Alder from yard post in San Diego County. His Lamb Hass took 4 years before it producing fruits. Will have more video on Carmen Hass, Don Gillogly and newly planted mango trees. Designer mangoes.
@@Betty599 That's interesting. I planted 4 trees in 5/23. GEM, Carmen, Reed and Lamb. All were about 12 inches except the Reed which was about 3ft. The Gem, carmen and lamb took off and are now 8ft with trunks about 3-4 inches in diameter. The reed didn't grow and lost all its leaves after winter. Thought it wasn't going to make it but has now recovered and is finally starting to grow. But the Lamb is the most impressive for me. It has 20 fruit. The gem was loaded with bb's but all but one fell. Interesting how different locations have different experience. I'm in bay area zone 10a.
@@alexmadrigal3328 Thank you for watching. We use to live in the bay area for many years. Still have lots of friends there. I know the bay are real well. You planted all A's varieties avocado trees and are known to be heavy producer. Would be interesting to know if those trees will be heavy producer without a B variety near by ? Time will tell. Please keep me posted on your trees, I am just curious. I have A's and B's planted near by plus I also grafted A's & B's cuttings on the same trees to help improve pollenating. Lots of avocados trees will shed their leaves and grow new leaves after it shed. My Reed, Wrutz, Hass, Lamb Hass, plus all of my Florida avocado varieties doesn't shed the leaves like Gem, Carmen, Gwen. Maybe your Reed went into shock after planted and it takes a while for the Reed to come back. Growing in zone 8b/9a Paso Robles Ca.
I’d love to visit your property some day. So the raccoons steal your avocados and carry it away, and now you are going to trap them. What will you use to trap the raccoons? The Reeds look beautiful! Is the Lamb Hass tall and narrow? I love your channel here.
Thanks for watching. We don't give tour at the moment. If you have issues with the critters or wild pigs. You have to hire professional trapper and also apply for depredation permit to shoot 24hrs a day. Professional trapper it is not cheap. Last week we have squirrels eliminator came out to give us a price, he charge $125 an hr. to gas the squirrels in our walnut orchard. After talking to our vineyard manager he told us he will have his men take care of the critters for us. He manage lots of large vineyard and take care of critters/pigs for rancher. My Lamb Hass is about 8 feet tall. All of my avocado trees/fruit trees will be kept 8ft and under that including mango trees. Also it is much easier to pick the fruits. No machinery needed.
@@Betty599 That sounds really perfect about the height of the avocados. My cherimoya trees put on about 8’ to 10’ of growth per year - it surprised me. There are a couple of variety of avocados from Florida that I’d like to experiment with. How did you get into agriculture and how long have you been involved?
@@ocneal I also have different varieties of grafted cherimoyas and Atemoya on the property. My trees are still small. You have to know how to hand pollinate them and how to keep the pollen alive in the refrigerator to pollenate otherwise your pollen will die in the refrigerator. You could order cuttings from Tropical Acre Farm in Florida. They have the largest collection of avocados cuttings varieties including mangoes and other subtropical fruit trees on their website. If you're ordering cutting from Florida you need to scrub the algae of the cutting with soap and water to remove the algae off the cuttings otherwise your graft will not takes. Because of all of the rain they get in the summer, their trees get algae on the branches. I only collect excellent varieties to grow on the property. If the trees don't produce well. I will top work the tree and graft other better varieties to it. We came to the US 1975 ten days before the fall of Saigon. After arriving to the philippine island in millitary cargo plane. My dad wanted us to have the best experience in the US. He booked us first class tickets to the US. The love of my life. My dad he's a self taught civil engineer working in Vietnam managing a large crew. He love fishing and gardening/farming. He taught us gardening & fishing. That is how I love gardening. Every day when I am out in the garden, it reminded me of him. I talk to him daily 😄what the fruit tastes like and wish he could see, taste the fruits that I am tasting including fishing. After purchase 200 acres ten years ago in the best AVA of Paso Robles for wine growing with organic walnuts and olives trees. We decided to plant 26 acres of wine grapes for aesthetic reason😆🤣also to keep the weeds under control and to improved the value of the property and hoping it will bring us regular income in the near future. Thank God we could afforded. It is not cheap. We removed lots of useless trees and bushes around the house and put in eatable landscape instead. Prior to living here, we were living in Montana for 8 years and even living in Montana. I have alway love gardening. I have over 12 thousand plus tulip & daffodil/bulls planted around our property. I have the most tulip planted in Montana. Very few fruit trees because of weather. Plus I learn how to hunt, gutted and butcher my own animals in Montana. In Paso I could hunt on my our property without leaving except for fishing. I charter a small private boat/yacht to take us out for fly fishing or tuna fishing in San Diego. I will have more videos to share of what I've learn on planting fruit trees/berries and subtropical fruit trees in zone 8b/9a elevation 2000 of Paso Robles Ca. Thank you for watch.
Nice trees, i live in king city and right now my fuerte tree only have 1 fruit, is the first time that it fruits. I have gem, gwen, lamb hass, carmen hass (that is starting to flower) reed, zutano, queen, and mexicola grande. Hoping that they all produce produce next year.
Thank you for watching. Carmen Hass is known to bloom twice a year depending on the areas. You are in zone 9a I believe. If your Carmen is starting to flower in the fall very high chances it will flower again in mid spring. You will get two crops. If your tree is young, it is not good to keep all of the fruits. I hope you know that. Young trees cannot handle lots of fruits. Do not put fertilizer on the trees while the fruit is small. It will cause all of the fruit to drop. Good luck👍
Yea i know that, he's still small, but knowing that its flowering now makes me excited, because like you said depends on the zone. Hopefully next year would bloom twice. Thanks.
Probably more fruit on north side because Lambs are late flower bloomers when sun is more on north side of tree in May and June. Also those Lambs look more like regular Hass with stems offset as opposed to center on top of avocados.
Thank you for watching. Now I have to looked back at some old photos/video to see what month my Lambs bloom in Paso. Reed bloom real late. Blooming & ripening/mature of the fruits is different than Southern Ca.
Nice! Don't listen to the "nursery man" . If they are such experts, why are they planting things in rotting wood and leaf byproduct and keeping it only for 6 months? If you noticed, the 24" boxes they sell are in actual dirt/soil because they know they have to keep it longer.
Thank you for watching.🙏 I don't really pay much attention to most nursery workers because most of them are not expert. They are temp workers at the nursery. Same as landscapers. I have lots of inexperienced workers over the years that I trained. They would work for me for few months and leave go started their own landscape business and they call themself expert. When they don't know much about trees and plants, disease or how to prune them. All they know is mow and blow. They brag that they have experience in landscaping. But when I asked them to names some of the basic trees & flowers that I have around my house. They could not even answer. They don't even know how to blow properly😆🤣😂
Thanks for watching 🙏I am growing the avocado trees in Paso Robles Ca. Zone 8b/9a . Every local nursery tells me I cannot grow avocado in Paso Robles. I proved them wrong. My trees is producing fruits. My RUclips video proof that you could grow avocados in Paso Robles. I encourage the public to grow them, but you do need to mix 50 % sand, gypsum and planted on a mound. That’s the best way for the tree to survive.
