You have no idea how much you have taught me in less than 20 minutes! I always wanted to understand how grafting works, and you explained the process so well! God bless you sir!
In Miami I bought the best avocado and I planted the seed in my yard. The 3 year I got 5 delicious huge, butter like avocados. I never fertilized it and the only water was from the rain. The following year I got so many avocados I had to put a sign "FREE AVOCADOS" 😂 the whole neighborhood waited for them every year around October, November.
@@SleepyLizard Very In formative & fun 2 watch. I planted lots of avocado in my childhood @ my upcountry and THEY R still our family supply.I used 2 love it & this awakens my farming passion so this is the yr,will begin with potatoes,melons + avo's. Thank & stay green & sl😴😴🦎 ,healthy & blessed Y'all.
Honest, straightforward. No BS, no hype. This should be used as a model for YT videos. As far as I can tell, perfect advice. Thank you, Lizard. (sleepy or otherwise). Well done.
Years ago I started an avocado plant by a store bought avocado using the prong method in a glass of water. It grew to to be about six inches tall and my daughter took it to school to show her teacher. Never saw it again. Ever since then I have never been able to grow another no matter how I did it. Now I will try this method. Thank you
I was able to grow a plant and then could not do it again. I tried many ways. Wrap the seed in a damp paper towel and put in a plastic zip bag until you can see the roots.
A friend started hers in a seed tray and watered with water that had banana peels in it. I tried it and was able to grow 20 seeds, they were about 2+ feet tall when I gave them to friends as gifts.
He is a good teacher! I need that kind detailed answer without talking it to death without trying to use big words to try to empress us. He is direct and explains it with examples we understand.
After so much time spent watching people grow avocadoes in so many different ways, I still finish videos like these as if it were the first time I'd heard of the techniques.
It’s soo easy to identify a true expert/professional at his craft. Every single thing they say about their field of expertise just rolls off the tongue with no effort. This gentleman is a master at his craft !
Все, иду на кухню хомячить авокадо и сажать косточку! Спасибо, дяденьке зарядил позитивом))) Месяц назад посадила кокос, сегодня у него появится подружка))
@SleepyLizard I actually have 3 growing on my desk now. I pinch the top of one today because of your video, but living in TN, they will never thrive outside from what I read on Google.
@SleepyLizard my mother lives in punta gorda FL and wants me to bring them to her. I already planted her 10 lemon and 2 mango trees this year. You see where I get it from🤣
My brother all what you showing right there is more than true, especially with the julie mangoes. I saw my grandfather did that many times when i growing up in the late 60s and early 70s and when ever the sketches especially with the julie mangoes,it would come out flowers even before the leaves. But the way did his grafting is,he would take a branch from where the fruit was hanging to do is grafting and in a few months time the starts bearing and he would put a banana leaf on the ground so mango could be protected since the tree small to hold the weight of the mango, it would start bearing and most times he had remove the flowers, i gave you a like and subscribe, you deserve it my boy!!
I actually got a seed to grow in water first time in 30 years of trying. Now I know how to keep it going.... And how to get fruit years before I would have. Thank you so very much.!!!!!!!
You win a subscribe from me for keeping things simple and to the point. So tired of these types of videos being 5x longer then it needs to be because person just rambles on and repeats themselves over and over.
Thanks Tom! Your video work is great and you are most entertaining, instructive and so articulate - so easy to listen to. Your lands and produce look great. Cheers, Jon
Smoked a joint and came upon your video😎 just perfect demonstration. I'm on a year of a store grown seed, and this is exactly what i was looking for. The pruning, hurts to see 😅
You are a straight talker mate, simple, straightforward and to the point in very simple language and illustrations. You sir have applied the KISS method. "Keep it simple stupid", as we say down under, your bloods worth bottling!! Good luck and thanks. Fred
Thanks for all the useful info. I grow Hass, Fuete and Reed avos and I love the Reed variety because it keeps well so late in the season. Your grafting instructions have encouraged me to graft some Reed avocados.
i have been growing avocados for a few months now and i found that peeling the skin off the seed helps with the sprout coming through with ease and i always wrap them in a damp paper towel and then place it in a ziplock and forget about it for a few weeks then i have a seed with beautiful roots and a sprout shooting out. then i place it ina bowl of water with the toothpicks where i leave it until i get nice big leaves. this method i just explained has NEVER failed me!
I have really large pots, of 14 Avacado trees that I planted from 2010 - 2012. They are 8 - 11 ft tall. 6 of them are Organic avacado seeds. The rest, not. Not one avacado has ever grown on any of them! I have NOT been fertilizing, or pruning the top! Mine are big and bushy, but fruitless! Thank you for this video! I just learned so much from you!
Great instructions, I guess I'm have to pass. By the time the tree starts producing I'm be 87. I'm going to have to spend the money and get one already started. LOL
Excellent video. Thank you so much. I have an avocado I grew from a seed about 10 years ago (still in a pot). I live in 7B so I move it inside every winter. They are beautiful plants.💚💚💚
Great video as always. When will you sell grafting sticks again. I remember long ago you used to sell them and I no longer ever see them on the website.
Hi Angel, I no longer sell cuttings nor trees online. Too many regulations, inspections and certifications which vary state by state. I stick to selling the fruit these days. I'm fully certified for that.
My wife has been wanting to go on a road trip for a while now. Would we be able to come down and buy some cuttings so we could do our own grafting? I was an otr truck driver when I met my now wife, a drive doesn't scare us, it excites us 😅
Can you please elaborate on time of year / season? When to undertake this propagation? I live in the Midwest / Ohio and our summers are very brief. T/y
Honestly, if you just eat a lot of avocados and throw them in your compost, a whole bunch of them are going to sprout, and then you can plant them. You don’t have to do anything fancy or convoluted. But if you only have one avocado seed, I suppose you’d better make the best of it.
I'm personally not trying to dig through my compost pile for my plants. there is a reason I have a garden and a fridge and a tub... we make places for things instead of dumping everything in a heap and sorting it out later. I'm sure we can each find a method that works for us without assuming 1 way is the best for everyone...
Exactly what happened with my avocado trees 7 years ago and I didn't have a chance to replant until they got too big. Now the compost pile has been moved and I have 8/9 trees rooted together. Will they still produce fruit? The one that's slightly off to 1 side is flowering for the 2nd yr now.
Thank You Thank You Thank You! Your videos are so Amazingly Simple and Easy to follow! I’m so glad I found you!!!! God Bless for being so kind to us all and showing us the Easy Perfect Method! Stay Safe! ❤
Thanks Tom, great info! About 14 months ago, my daughter went to Puerto Rico. She flew back to her home in Seattle Wa. with 2 large avocados purchased from a store in PR. She mailed the seeds to me in San Diego, Ca. I planted the seeds just as you did in this video. Seven months later the two seeds began growing little trees! I’m going to let the larger seed tree grow without grafting. The smaller seed tree will get grafted from a mature Nabal avocado tree. I was going to prune the large seed tree at about 4 ft., but now, after watching your video, I guess I should start now! My two little trees are about 30 inches tall. What do you suggest?
This man is a great teacher. He was so fantastic at explaining everything that i was engaged to watch the entire video even though where I live, I will never be able to grow an avocado tree outdoors 😆
What a lesson well taught, I'm addictive in sowing every avocado I eat the seed is quickly made to dangle in water supported by them tooth picks.thanks for the new and short method ❤😊
@@SleepyLizard I am hoping it will have blooms next spring because I've given it micronutrients and the new fertilizer, I've used this year is much better than what I have been using as evidenced by how well it has grown, and the leaves are lush and there's no evidence of disease whatsoever.
Wow, great video because you’re a great teacher!!! I love all your tips!! You’re a wonderful gardener, teacher, and I can see that you love what you do!!

I watered it on the sides, but worryingly, it didn't do much. I have a bad feeling that the root system has compromised. I will water it again tomorrow, I think I didn't water it enough. Mango update: I can finally (or already, becaue it didn't take long) see the stem coming out. The seed is dark green. However, I'm seeing ome fungus gnats. And there is a bit of mold and foul smell. But the viability is higher. Anyways, today is my last day of school before the holidays. WOOHOO! I don't wanna be late, so I might comment later. Byeee
Off topic question here but it's really important! Why oh why am I spending a buttload buying avocados & they look great on the outside but inside they are full of hard black spots & bitter!

I love your video! I have a tree that is over 12 years old and I haven’t had any blossoms or fruit yet!
yes that's not out of the ordinary
Off topic question here but it's really important! Why oh why am I spending a buttload buying avocados & they look great on the outside but inside they are full of hard black spots & bitter!
usually means they were picked too early then chilled and imported.
This guy is great. I appreciate this video so much, all the info you need and more. A wealth of knowledge and it is very much appreciated
and I appreciate your comment, thank you.
THANKS, YOU ARE PERFECT
