How To Grow Avocados From A Store Bought Avocado Seed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2023
- Avocados are very easy to grow. You can sprout a store bought seed with very little materials and effort. The only hard part is waiting the 10 years for it to produce. As an avocado farmer I know a way to get your tree to fruit in year 3.

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!
@@comoelitamelendez8467 you just made my day, thank you!
For us 1st timers, we need to see roots. 😊
Do I need more trees to produce fruit?!
I was gonna ask about shock.. ty

Yes
No bsing
Agreed.
I like this guy, straight forward advice, no crazy stuff, just plain good gardening, for beginners. 😊
thank you. that is exactly what I was going for. I appreciate your comment.
I agree that’s why I subscribe his channel today
@@eentun9340 thank you very much
The second method is hydroponics I think
@@SleepyLizard in reality, Thank YOU 😍
Practical, educative, simplified and easy to grasp. Big contribution to mankind. Thank you so much
that is one heck of a compliment! thank you
Great teaching style! Arborist and all-‘round plant nut, I love your passionate mission to inspire others.
thank you!
Why do I want to grow avocado trees so bad after watching your videos 😂 really enjoyed all the information
I appreciate that Michael.
@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.
@@michaelmoore7550 yeah, a tad too cold but you can keep them going as house plants. My dad does it in Pennsylvania
@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🤣
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
god luck!
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.
What planting zones are safe to plant avocado in the ground?
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.
@@AnonymousOndi what a great gift idea!
People will forever learn from you. Couldn't want a better explanation and demonstration. Merry Christmas to you and family. God bless.
thank you Michael!
Love this guy! His teachings, enthusiasm and energy is infectious 😊❤
aw shucks. thank 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
I encourage either method. thanks for your comment!
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
thank you Fred that's exactly what I'm going for.
Educational yet easy to understand. Thanks for another great vid. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
thank you Tasty. Merry Christmas to you too.
@Tasty: yes dear Tasty, it’s a great video! Can’t wait ‘til Spring to start growing my avocados! Happy New Year to you! Greetings from NC!🌹🌼🌸😘👋🏾
Happy and Healthy New Year to you as well! @@raulcampos6843
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.
Than you Sheila!
So much to learn here! THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET!!! Thank you so much! Loyal subscriber here!!! God Bless!!!
Hi Maria, that's a heck of a compliment, thank you!
I always love eating Avacados by the truck loads and wanted to get started on something like this. i'll be saving this video.
you're gonna love it. There's a lot of avocado growing info on my channel.
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!
sounds like you have a very productive process!
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.
Welcome to the channel Jeff!
The best directions on how to do it!
thank you!
Natural teacher meant to share secrets to basic growing. No fluff no extra stuff to make you lose interest. Just great info easy to remember! Thanks
thank you
Best pruning tip ever
thx
I wish it made avacodos faster the. 4 years from now. This was very informative thanks
my wish also
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 😅
the first time pruning is difficult but once you see the results it becomes easy
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.
yes and repetition helps the learning process too
@@SleepyLizard Hey, are you going to do a video on air layering trees?
This gardener is a great commmunicater...maybe the best I've seen...👍😁
wow, I really appreciate you saying that. thank you
Thank you so much! I just transplanted 5 small avocado trees from my raised bed. Gonna try my hand at grafting from a tree I like.
best of luck!
Thank you, you’re a sweet man I can tell! God bless you and your avocados, and other fruit as well!!
thank you
Planted a Haas avocado seed 7 years ago. I noticed my first avocados growing this month..
I have never just giving it's first fruit in year 9
Все, иду на кухню хомячить авокадо и сажать косточку! Спасибо, дяденьке зарядил позитивом))) Месяц назад посадила кокос, сегодня у него появится подружка))
💚💚💚💚YOU ARE AWESOME, Thank you very much for sharing your WISDOM!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
thank you. I love the energy on your channel
😁Thank YOU!!!💓 @@SleepyLizard
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!!
Welcome to the channel
I CAN TELL YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT CULTIVATING.❤❤❤
yep
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
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
thank you very much Jon
I think you are BRILLIANT!!! Thanks for the Incredible Video!!!
thanks for the compliment.
That pruning machine is wild!!
it's a beast
You are a good teacher well done Sir.
thank you
What a great personality to go with the garden xxxx
aw shucks. thanks!
Wonderful information buddy great job 👌👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍
😁
I love the way you teach us how kind of you ❤❤❤❤❤I love you so so much my angel brother
😁
He's wonderful! So easy to listen to and understand.
🥰
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.
good luck with the grafts. our late season Monroe are really good too.
Merry Christmas my friend TommyBoy great time to ya and yours broda
Merry Christmas Rimm!
Huge avocado!! 🥑
Monroe variety in this vid.
Thank you, a fun video that besides teaching me, made me hungry for Avocados!!
I hope you were able to find some avocados to fill your belly!
Merry Christmas, Tom, Noe, and Tommy. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
Mary Christmas Nancy!
Very informative vlog.
thank you
Love this!!! We grew one by accident when I was curious about growing one and left it in some dirt on our sink back and I was so amazed!!! Definitely going to try this and appreciate you sooo much!!! Avacodo ❤
good luck growing your trees!
Nice video brother. Love your energy! Also, you don't ramble😊
thank you. I leave a lot on the cutting room floor. 🤣
THANKS, YOU ARE PERFECT
😱
I like the way you teach! Thanks
thanks Max
New subscriber to your channel. You make what you teach very interesting, simple and truly practical...and as brief as it can be without falling short of helpful information and details.
thank you for noticing. it's a difficult balance
A thoughtfully planned video.
Thank you
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 😅
@@slowpoke4557 my contact info is in the "about" section on the channel. send me a text. tell me it's you.
Nice video❤
Thank you Jem
Loved your instructions ❤❤
thank you
honestly second comment of mine i like to hear you talking and teaching
thank you
Ho Ho Ho! Meeeeery Christmas! to you, your family and your workers! How do you manage to always bring a smile to my face, especially when talking about avocados! TOp notch quality and productivity and very educational. I still learned a few thing from the video. I fertilized my main avocado with liquid 5-5-7 fertilizer, but it's now droopy. 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
last day of School!
Anyone who reads this once I cut ALL leaves off an avocado tree - even one brother wanted to know why I was trying to grow a stick- it came back and then given away roots and all s’good
why did you do that?
Beautiful! It takes a decade with love and PATIENCE! 😊❤
🥰
Thank you for sharing this information. It really is such a good video. I have subscribed.
You are to the point, cheerful and I trust you know what you are talking about because you are doing it for a living....🥑.....🌳✅👀....👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks again watching, and trying to grow avocadoes, from the UK.
Thank you Ruby. There are people growing avocados in London. I've seen videos of a fruiting avocado tree that exists somewhere in London.
@@SleepyLizardTrue, that is why I am trying. The story behind that tree is inspiring especially for London where avocadoes are not expected to thrive. It was grown from seed and has produced abundant, good tasting fruit....albeit after twenty plus years.
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?
I have no suggestion at all. Your plan is perfect.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas!
bullshit story.
Does you Sell Trees ? I have a House In FL Like to Grow a Couple. Great Job on the Class
thank you for the compliment. I no longer sell trees, only fruit.
the devil package 666? xD, very nice instructions and illustrations thank you so much
😱
This was a great video, going outright now to prune my avocados growing up like telephone poles.
fantastic!
What is the shortest an avocado bush can be before bearing fruit? Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🍁
Hi Gio, it takes 10 years for a seed grown avocado tree to reach maturity
I love how a fruit that should’ve gone extinct with the last megafauna has been kept alive by the fact that humans thought the fruit was tasty too.
it's selection characteristic is "utility to humans"
I love your explanation very loud and clear, I love it will give it a try🥰🥰
good luck!
A wonderful teaching video! Thank you!
you are welcome
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.
Love your show
thank you
Thank u so much ur absolutely amazing n extremely informative God bless ur beautiful soul 🙏💞🙏
Thank you
Ur very welcome Hun n thank u 🙏💞🙏
It feels like I have watched this video before. Only the other guy was a few years younger. But not as good looking.
I've covered most of these topics in other vids yes. I felt the urge to condense it all into one vid and try to answer the questions I typically get.
And yes, I'd say right now I'm in the best shape of my life 💪☺️
God bless and Jesus loves everyone ❤️🙌 God is awesome and He makes beautiful and wonderful masterpieces ✝️🙏 He is here for us. God loves us so much that He gave Jesus to save us from our sins so we can go to Heaven when we repent, believe in and follow Jesus. Does anyone want to know Jesus Christ?🫂😇
try and stay on topic. this is about growing avocados. thank you

Thanks for the very helpful info. ❤️ Happy growing to you. ;)
You are welcome
Beautiful, you make seem so much fun and easy. I love it! 😊
I hope you have good luck if you grow your own tree.
Wow wow, my first avocado is five years old and I’ve learned more from this episode, so now the several young avocados will now benefit….. loving this 🎉🔥🍺👍🫵🏻
You're halfway to fruit!!
I sense zero satire here, and I verily prefer satirical videos :(
I've got some satire in my vid about magic mango seeds: ruclips.net/video/snl-1Rs4wsQ/видео.htmlsi=IPSs2XdJ9CTuUObV
God bless you and Jesus loves you, do you know Him?
@@brookiepoo4812 I'm not sure if you mean the same guy but there's a Jesus that owns a fruit stand down the street from us.
@@SleepyLizard no, I mean Jesus Christ the Son of God and Lord and Savior
@@brookiepoo4812 that's a relief because it would be weird if the guy who owns the fruit stand down the street loves me.
Thanks for taking the time to share this info, It's valuable information for someone that is starting from scratch. I love avocados too. looking forward to some fun with this idea. Happy to give a subscription and a BIG thumbs up. your yard looks AWSOME
Thank you for the support and welcome to the channel
😂😂😂😂 you are so cheeky and funny. I like the sence of humour
🤣
Awesome. Great video man! I've only been able to grow 1 avocado seed ever in my life, It was an avocado my ex-sister-in-law gave me off the streets of Ventura, Ca. Tasted amazing. I ate half of it. Left the other half in the refrigerator, 2months later it had a super healthy root, I planted it in soil. It was an amazing tree starting. My dogs liked it better than me I guess and ate it, 4 times until it finally died, ahahaha. Tried over and over again different ways to germinate another seed several times and nothing.
This year, I told my wife, we eat so many avocados I gotta try again. I currently have 8 healthy looking sprouted seeds! AaaaWOOooooo. YES! I want to grow them mainly to have trees on my property here in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon. This video is way better than a different one I tried their technique to move my seed from ziploc and paper towel to a cup and it started healthy but now it just looks like the roots are a little branch and seem to be turning into a stick with no shoot growth. So I'm super stoked to follow your potting techniques with the other 8 seeds that are germinating nicely in my ziplock bags...If I do this for a year I will all kinds of trees for shade growing on my property and eventually some fruit when I retire, hahaha..
Thanks for your awesome video man. I appreciate you for this!
Stoked!
thank you for your thoughtful comment
@@SleepyLizard You're welcome.
THANK you!! I wish i'd known this two years ago.... ;-) Oh well. Best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is NOW!
wise words
Love the video , thats what i like to do and no use of shovel. I love the smell of potting dirt on my hands.😊
my hands are always dirty but I don't care
Wonderful way of describing sir
thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wow awesome tips!! I'm going to try these asap out here in So Cal!
Good luck
I am still learning (english)
But i can understand your whole things like A to z information like more than asian school teacher
Great man i love your job
In our country no body share this information easily but your people love to share that
This is why white people have more knowledge then othersk(most of the time)

Thank You For the Great Video !
you are welcome
Liquid nutrients are more bioavailable but require a little more work but they lack some of the nasty things you find in dry fertilizers. Great video, gardening is my favorite hobby, I just wish I had more land.
what do you like to grow?
Awesome video great detail thanks
thank you
