Why a Hass Avocado Seed Does Not Give Us a Hass Avocado Tree

- Avocados do not grow true to seed. That means if you plant the seed from an avocado you ate the resulting tree will not produce the same type of avocado. We use candy to demonstrate how pollination and DNA create a unique tree from every avocado seed. Also, we show how growers use grafting to make sure their tree produces the type of avocado they want.

If u don’t mind me asking what fruits will grow true to type from seed
@@876freshharvest7 the only ones I know of are peaches, some types of citrus, and polyembryonic varieties of mango. although I've been told the polyembryonic mangos might have a little genetic difference from generation to generation but I have no confirmation of that
Then how do you know if it is a father plant and a Mother plant
@@Goldenbudgetsavings2 what do you mean? can you clarify the question?
@@SleepyLizard you say you need a father plant in the mother plant how do you know if you have a father plant or mother plant for the avocado?

I live in Australia and back in 1983 I planted 12 Hass avocado seeds that I had bought from the supermarket. 7 years later they fruited and the first crop tasted earthy. But the every year after that they were as delicious as the original as the ones that I bought from the supermarket. No problem.
Huh, guess God knew what he was talking about with the whole "don't eat the first fruit" thing
Hey Aussie, you're spot on! Our father grew an avocado tree from a seed, and the avocado tree gave delicious fruit, and continues to do so, 30 years later. We too live in Australia.
It's kinda like foreshine with distilling moonshine, never drink the first batch cuz it's pure alcohol. In fact you'll go blind if you drink more than a shot of foreshine, you'll die from liver failure when you drink more than a cup.
@@ingridher4628 So this guy is bullshitting everyone?
@@SouthernGIGI Well, Aussie, Tee Bee chee, and I have had avocados from a tree grown from a seed. As I have stated, my father grew an avocado tree from a seed 30 years ago, and to date, our families, and friends have all enjoyed the delicious avocados from that same tree.
My grandpa grew avocado trees from seeds (I watched them grow) and they all had avocados that tasted like the initial one he got the first seed from. Us grandkids took care of the trees after he passed so we could continue enjoying the avocados. Must be a miracle that he successfully grew 3 trees with really good fruit lol
Do you recall how long before they produced fruit?
@@SleepyLizard It had to be around 13 years. I was about 6 when I helped him set up a new seed. And, I was a 19 when we first tried the avocados from that tree. He may have had the fruit before that, but he proudly presented it at that time.
@@Mystrishv so cool that you got to experience this with your grandpa
@Bluesidian You will hear many gardening experts also claim that avacados do not grow true to seed. 90% of them don't sell avacado anything. So do we move this idea of yours into the realm of avacado conspiracy?
@@RichardFreemanjr We move over to the wisdom of Farmers from days of old and their wisdom. Then we move your attempt into the garbage lol.

@@SleepyLizard My question is, will the majority of avocados grown by seed taste horrible? or just not to the standards of Hass and other major brands
@@gernis I think that was answered in the video, they will probably taste horrible

I am about ready to ruin my wife's day by sharing this video with her.
She planted an avocado seed about a year ago. Lol.
All she has to do is wait until the end of the infomercial and he tells you that he sells the graft parts to fix that tree of hers :3 or just stop the video short... She will never know...
I mean it’ll save her about half the time if she does it the way that he explains so I think it’ll be a win win
@@reececox666 true, you need the tree anyways to graft
I would not tell her jacksh*t. Let her wait for 15 tears and then tell her you saw a video 15 years ago.....
She still has a 1 in 10000 chance :)
My father didn't know anything about the science of avocado. There were no RUclips videos in his time. He didn't go to agri school. He was just an ordinary farmer. He just planted avocado seeds. When we were little we enjoyed the best tasting creamy and compact avocados that were oversized compared to modern avocados. And these came from those seeds he planted. I truly miss those avocados, especially when I see those teeny weeny varieties sold in supermarkets, nowadays. Our Avocados then we're twice the size of a Hass avocado today. (I am 56 yrs old). Also, I have a neighbor who planted a seed from an avocado she bought. It was bearing fruit after only 5 years. In fact I bought 2 seedlings from her, from that tree, a few days ago. So I don't really buy that stuff, that out of 10k avocado seeds you plant, you only get 1 good tasting avocado.
that's awesome

So from my experiences as an old man this is mostly BS. I've planted over 100 apple trees from seeds harvested from grocery store apples and they all produced good apples of the same type and same or better quality - usually better because they ripened on the tree instead of in a truck somewhere. Also I've grown up 8 avocado trees from different store harvested seeds and they all produced good avocados - though I know not the original hybrid names (they all looked like the "Hoss" he shows). Avocado trees need a ton of water and direct sunlight - if you give it to them you get nice large meaty fruit that tastes exactly like an avocado! The Apple trees I grew were the same deal but in those cases I know the species and got what I planted - "Golden Delicious", "Orange Pippin", "Granny Smith" (best for pies!!!) etc. But most need a few hundred hours of frost time, buttloads of water and partial-day direct sun. It sounds to me like this guy is growing out of their requirements, getting bad results and blaming it on the seeds - or maybe he's trying to promote *his brand* or something?? Keep in mind for example that the story of Johnny Appleseed is not a myth! ;)
Further in his video some things just don't make sense... One for example is that you can't patent a seed! Plant varieties produced sexually (i.e., by seed) cannot be protected under patent law - this is common knowledge, or should be.
Here in San Antonio the supermarket HEB always has three sizes of avocados.
Yes he is correct. Basically seeds from self-pollinating trees like citrus trees, will bear the same or similar tasting fruit as the fruit you ate. But fruits from trees like avocados that need a "male" and a "female" tree to cross-pollinate, in order to bear fruit, will not taste anything like the original fruit. This also explains why you need two avocado trees to get any fruit - Pollen from a flower on an avocado tree cannot fertilize onto another flower on that same avocado tree. You see? This is why high school biology class was so important, when you thought why learn it.
Basically, you're saying that avocados are Transphobic....
Your comment does not make sense. Most species need 2 to reproduce. What does a trans have to do anything with this? If you were trying to be funny then you failed because the punchline makes no sense.
All you have to do is find the tree you got that fruit from and graft it. But that will be hard to get.
So the solution is to grow two avocado seeds?
@@PedroMartinez-sp1cb Unfortunately yes, you need 2 avocado trees, unless you have a nearby neighbor growing one as well.
This guy is the best salesman I've ever seen. He managed to keep me hooked on a 12 minutes ad
Nah, if it was a good ad I'd be plugging my store the whole time. I just give a little plug at the end of the vid because people used to reach out and ask to buy avocados and trees.

Please I want to ask you about growing a hass avocado tree from seed how many years it takes to give fruits for the first time ?plz answer me I'm waiting for your answer plz
Geez, I'm glad my avocado seed didn't watch this. I planted a seed from the example you showed I believe was called Hall. In 4 years it was huge and produced bigger and better tasting fruit than the original one I planted. This is near Sarasota Florida. It's now about 11 years, and the tree is about 30' high, and is now a CASH producer. However most of what you said is true, and I appreciate this video.
Hall is one of my favorite.
Just for the grins:
You can deseed crab apples from a tree that are ripe(not the ground). Peel and boil them. Add sugar. Make a jam or jelly and they are edible. The general idea is that you cannot eat a crab apple. But normally they taste fine when you process them into something. Eating them straight will taste poor. But a jam or jelly or even an alcoholic beverage can be rather pleasant.
Scottish here and crap apples get used for all sorts of daft shit😂
I had a 2 year old avocado tree that sprouted from seed. It kept loosing it's leaves & finally died. A few weeks ago another tree has sprouted. I'm very excited. Does any one have any tips how to keep the avocado tree healthy?
Many decades ago a friend of my mother's from back in Mexico went around to restaurants and street food vendors and made a deal to buy their avocado seeds for a couple of cents each. She would go around and pick them up weekly. She and her family planted the seeds on some land they had that was sitting around doing nothing. She made a deal with a local Agricultural School to get the students to graft the HAAS avocado branches (the school had them from some trees they had) onto the seedlings she had already planted. The students got in the field practice and the lady got graftings for the price of materials (hand tools, wrappings, wax, etc). When the trees were giving fruit, she struck a deal with Safeway in America and they bought everything she could produce. So she built an avocado empire on the cheap.
a wise woman
Smart lady!!
BINGO
fuck, i work for the remnants of safeway (the grocery store i work at was once a safeway) in the produce department, i probably handle your avocados all day (wink wink). nah, seriously, your mom's friend was a fucking genius if your story is true, and even if it is not it is a true story of how you make an orchard. grow a bunch of saplings and graft good fruit onto it. you can't just plant a seed when it comes to trees. and the longer a plant lives the least likely that a seed will produce something you want to eat.
@@kght222 Two facts about produce that wowed me was 1) all Thompson seedless grapes come from a cutting of one original plant so all the Thompson seedless grapes on earth come that one plant. 2) bananas all come from one plant and all the cuttings from that plant live 11 years, That particular banana plant dies on earth at the same time. Botanists always have to create the next replacement banana every 11 years. So the bananas you remember from childhood are not the bananas of today and today's bananas will be gone in the near future replaced by a new strain (that hopefully tastes similar or better)

It was covered in GCSE Biology in the 90's.
In kindergarten we planted an Avocado seed from Oaxaca in the school garden. Some kids aunt smuggled seeds from Mexico. That was 26 years ago, this is a local variety that has buttery skin and meat. The tree is now huge and have tried a few fruits over the years as I help in providing pepper and vegetable seedlings to my old school. The fruit actually taste great. Not the same but definitely better than any supermarket variety.
wow, that's awesome.
I guess I was lucky. I planted an avocado seed and when it grew fruit they were just as good as the one I ate to get the seed. Most people in Florida have avocados that were grown from seed and I’ve never heard anyone say their avocados tasted bad.
Most people in Florida have avocado trees that were grown from seed?
I'm from Florida too. It makes sense on the taste but to me they all tasted ok to me and I'm Haitian
explains how 90% of the mango trees in my neighborhood tasted like stringy garbage but one neighbor had 7 of the most delicious trees I have ever had.
my family has been growing mangoes for several decades now. You have to make sure that all the trees around each other are identical so during pollination you get what you expect. Keep unwanted varieties downwind or not at all. Or as the video suggests, graft them.
Grafting is the best way to go, or plant a mango seed that's polyembroinic, which comes true to seed unlike monoembroinic mangoes seeds.
Ikr my neighbor has the best mangoes I've ever eaten. He should sell them

When I was very young, my mom used a seed from an avocado she got from Vons grocery store. It grew really good. We only have one tree. And every year we get hundreds of Haas avocado fruits. When the plant was small people would tell her that the tree would never grow any fruit.

Wow 15 years later I finally learned why half the fruit trees around my childhood home were always disgusting. Never realised how much I needed this.
Nope - this is nonsense. Johnny Appleseed planted cider apples because hardcider and applejack killed cholera and other waterborne pathogens, sweet apples are horribly inbred evolutionary cul d sacs, and the global banana supply, among others, is failing because of monoculture propaganda like this.
@@chadstratton4926 im new, can you provide a video that better explains?
@@MR-nl8xr I will have to make that video for it to exist. Until then- the apples that just rot are the descendents of what are called Cider apples. Those unpleasant tastes are caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Those are delicate structures- if you squeeze the juice and ferment with yeast (Science: Zymurgy) the VOCs collapse into better tasting flavors alongside the Elixer we call Alcohol in Hard Cider- which can be concentrated by freezing, evaporation, or distilled into Brandy/Applejack. Prior to Chlorine water treatment and germ theory, human settlements either had some way to create alcohol to purify water by killing cholera, or everyone died in pools of watery diarrhea. Johnny Appleseed planted cider apples in the wilderness, because they are hardy enough to survive on their own,, and were ready with fruit when pioneers built their first cider house. THAT is the story of those apple trees we might wrongly call useless.
When you learned from the wrong person and got bad info. Those apples are simply made to be cooked and not ate raw. Apples seed grow the same apples, with some variations like all childs do.
Yes, but those are probably from ancestral native trees that were never good-tasting varieties. The legend goes that Johnny Appleseed went around the country selling seeds because until he brought them over from the OLD World, the North American varieties were only good for making hard cider and vinegar. But guess where those OLD World (European) seeds came from? And why did they grow true to seed? In nature random cross-pollination DOES create as many varieties as there are random genes to mix--similar to random mating every wild bird you saw. Some offspring would survive and some would look like no local bird you'd ever seen. But if you took those 2 again and again, you'd narrow down the stray awful ones and the winning combination could keep mating. That's how Rottweilers and Chihuahuas STAY those breeds, generation upon generation. Sadly, it's why each breed has health issues specific to the breed-- from too little genetic variety. This sales pitch was interesting and what he said made sense--but he is talking about the math if you let nature take its course and pairings were random. In tropical areas, where the density of such trees allows wind to cross-pollinate easily, and with all those native weed varieties around, you might get Wintergreen-peanut butter combos. Not so sure when you have 2 grafted Hass avocado trees. The DNA in flowers doesn't some from the root stock; it comes from the grafted branches, doesn't it? Otherwise you'd have to taste each avocado to know which were from the nasty-tasting root stock, and which were the yummy branches.

When I was young I planted four Hass avocado seeds. A few years later we were inundated with great tasting avocados, but there were so many that they became a nuisance. Always stepping on fallen fruit and so many that the neighbors said they couldn’t eat anymore.

@@RamonHernandez-qk3tq green gold.
No way you got avocado's after only a few years. It takes at least 10 years!
Wow, great info! Now I understand why farmers used the grafting method. In school I learned about grafting but it didn’t sink in why. If this guy taught my science class, I think I would have remembered-“planting the seed from some delicious fruit you ate (such as avocado) will NOT produce a tree or plant that yields the same tasting fruit.”
Lesson learned.👍😁🥑
But the more common reason is that they COULD produce reliable fruit, but the rootstock plant has characteristics like disease or drought tolerance and sturdy branches that help the fruit tree become established sooner and survive longer...
Some fruit trees are true to kind like peaches and pears. Some are not like apples dates and avocados.
Ha, this explains why in games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley you buy saplings instead of seeds for fruit trees.
Except for peaches apparently, even he said they were true to seed.
@@dhaxiskhadhammer Gotta have some uniformity. If most of the trees in the game come in the form of saplings, then might as well make the few that didn't need to be come as them as well. Either way, grafting would work for peaches as well, and honestly, no one said you didn't have to buy a peach sapling.
Then my grandmother was really lucky... she planted an avocado seed sometime in the late 1950's that grew into a massive tree. The fruits were huge and their flesh tasted just like a Haas, buttery, creamy, but yet firm flesh. Everyone in the neighborhood would always ask for those specific avocados and she would gladly give them away to anyone that asked. The property was later sold after her passing (2000) and the tree was knocked down by the new owners (what a shame).. they didn't know the treasure they had in that yard!

Actually we had a crabapple tree in our yard and it was as bad as you said. But the reason the tree was planted (before we moved there) was because how beautiful the flowers were in the spring. Crabapple trees are flowering trees, where they bloom flowers first and apples second. (And you forgot how much they attracted wasps)
At my childhood home, which used to be my great grandpa's, he had a full orchard in his backyard that got cut down save for a few trees and berry bushes. There was a chestnut tree too, which was beautiful, but the bane of our existence when playing barefoot...
We had a pear tree, *two crab apple, and two cherry trees. Imo, nothing holds a candle to a blossoming cherry tree.
We also used to pick them and would easily get a bushel or more. They were dark cherries too, perfect for cooking.
In Colorado a neighbor had a crabapple tree that had actually rather large fruit like small apples. My girlfriend back then would make crabapple sauce that was just so delicious like exotic spices.

@Raphael S Well, for starters, crab apples are a different genus that the kind you normally buy at a store. There’s an inkling of truth to the “true to seed” idea, but it’s being wildly misrepresented.
Look up crab apples for yourself. I’m not making it up.
@@CaptainTae Yes and no. Virtually all apples you buy in the store are grafts from a one-off genetic lottery winner. Many of them are crab apple hybrids (the Granny Smith, for example, grew from a seed from inside a crab apple, and all it's descendants are grafts thereafter). In fact, many of the apple trees for zone 3 (where I live) can have either a regular apple or crab apple as their cross pollinator. But they would never grow true to seed. I have 2 Norkents and they are both grafts onto hardy rootstock.
@@jolenethiessen357 That’s partly true. That’s how farming works. But you’re choosing a specific case where it’s being misrepresented.
Fun fact: Crab apples were widely grown to make alcoholic cider from; not for eating. Cider was the preferred alcoholic beverage of America before prohibition. Even kids were raised in it instead of water as fermentation killed bacteria and dramatically lowered the chances of dysentery.
Yup... Thus the root of the Johnny Appleseed mythos which has been heavily whitewashed in historical record.
Another fun fact: Louis Pastuer developed the germ theorem from an investigation as to why beer was going skunky, not from milk souring.

@@CkTubeFu He is estimated to have planted around 100K seedlings, and not one became a variety anybody thought was worth naming
Crabapples are a very diverse group. All the way from tiny, bitter flowering crabs to small, spicy lunchbox sized dessert apples. Many wild species are also considered to be crabapples.
He’s just wrong on the apple thing. First of all, you don’t plant apple seeds to grow crabapple trees. 🙄 You buy crabapple trees and secondly, you plant them on purpose. Some are even edible. I used to eat them off my aunt’s tree. They make fantastic jelly! And they can be made into wine or liqueur...
Also, we have apple trees pop up on our property “wild seeded” by the birds if you know what I mean. They don’t grow crabapples - they are regular edible apples (hard to tell if the same as the apple they came from) that we eat and make sauce from. So I personally can’t trust anything he says here.

However, what I hear from this is that if we all stop growing avocados or apples from seed there is 0 chance of someone- other than a commercial nursery (that lucky #9999 or #80000) growing a new unexpected delicious variety to add to our food chain.
Also, we wipe out genetic diversity, which is a real biosecurity lifesaver when it comes to pests and diseases developing, which can devastate monocultural crops- like the Cavendish banana for instance, and the economies that depend on them.
So I would say keep growing. Afterall, Hass got his by happy accident. Just maybe relax your expectations.
I agree with you. People who have seen this vid now have the knowledge to make a better informed decision.
Absolutely! I’m wondering how our forefathers did it, I can’t remember anytime I ate bad taste Avocados lol
@@dominicobunaka5119 our forefathers were almost certainly better botanists and farmers on average. nowadays we are so specialised in our work that most people don't need to know how to grow a delicious avacado, we can just get them from market, and let experts like the gentleman in this video go through the trial and error of growing inedible fruit for us.
I like to think that people are slowly returning to where we once were, we can see the damage to our mental health and to our planet that over reliance on convenience has caused - whereas when we grow our own food and work our own land we ourselves are more complete. with environmentalism and sustainability on the rise I'd like to think it will help society step closer to mother nature.
Boom.
@@fisheatsyourhead Real talk! My Environmental Science professor Jason Adkins at Trevecca University once said. Technology isn’t a bad thing, however; Man has let the technology claim him/her instead of the Vice versa.
We annually host a farming camp on campus and it always break my heart to hear and see kids at ages 5 to 17 saying that they’d never seen some type of animals like chickens and pigs in real life. Yet these kids eat chicken and pork every day. I bet the parents of these kids and many unheard can explain why commit such injustice to such kids (future generation) by denying them to learn about the realms of life.
There is no future with such practice! We all have to go back to the traditional way of life. For the ones that read the Bible; God says no one should eat prior to work! Work doesn’t mean money working for you, you could have all the money and still have no food at your table some day. Let’s wake up before Mother Nature strikes because I’m definitely certain she will. Blessings!
I finally hit the 1 in 10,000 teacher who knows what he's talking about when it comes to avocados .. great information here , thank you ...
you just made my day, thanks!
Ten years ago, my next-door neighbor planted a sprouted Reed seed because she loved the taste of Reed avocados. About two years later, I spotted it and she told me what it was. I told her she will have to wait about 10 more years for it to fruit ... and when that happens, the odds of an edible avocado were astronomically low. Someone at the local nursery told her the same. But my neighbor thought the guy at the nursery was lying just to get her to buy a $30 avocado tree. Her homegrown tree was beautiful, as Reed trees have that unique columnar shape. I grew to about 20'. It was taller than the top of the chimney on her 2-story house. Just last month she chopped it down. Had she planted a $30 avocado tree 10 years ago, she would have picked about 500 avocados from it by now.
Yeah people often think I'm telling some sort of tale just to make a sale also. They don't realize the profit on a $30 transaction makes it much more about the buyer's benefit than the seller's.
Moral of the story is, plant the damn seed, you might be a millionaire and produce a whole new avocado hahahaha
no you steal your neighbor's branch to graph onto yours
Avacado lottery
I feel like I was just taught some kind of ancient knowledge hidden from humanity, and I'm the chosen one to carry this mistery
The way you explained this was so easy to pick up on. You are such a brilliant man.
wow, thanks for the compliment.
I got an Avocado tree from my uncle and man these babies are delicious, Dominican Avocados here in Florida. My uncle is an Agricultural Engineer and one of the first two Entomologist in his country. This tree has been through hurricanes and withstood hurricane Andrew and still given me delicious fruit since the 80's.
that I awesome, thank you for sharing!
Crabapple trees were actually attentionally planted commonly because crabapples make great apple cider.
Still common here in germany. My uncle has a bunch of then in his yard and as a kid i always wonderd what they were good for. Then when the time came and the apples started dropping we would collect them all and bring them to the local "juicer" and fermenter to get great apple extract and wine.
@@newdarkneoss3985 it’s not nearly as common in the US as it use to be but there is still a cider Industry and it is growing. We use drink a lot of cider before prohibition. They even went around cutting down apple trees to prevent the making of hard cider. Germany is famous for there Apfelwein and I have had some imported from Germany. It’s more like a wine then American cider which is oddly beer like. I really liked the Apfelwein.
Attentionally??
@@KingNexusMOCs this is what I came here for 😭
The bad thing about alcohol made from apples is contain lots if pectin. Pectin turns into methanol, methanol makes you go blind. All the old farmer alcoholics would distill their apple moonshine an collect the heads with the hearts, the hearts is rich in vision taking methanol. Now we know why so many old alcoholics went blind. No ethanol is not that todic.
I have no idea why the algorithm chose me but after watching this in its entirety whilst inexplicably mesmerized in an avocado-candy trance, I will certainly never doubt it again. As someone who possesses the attention span of a goldfish with ADD, watching an entire 11+ minute video of anything without getting distracted is nothing short of a miracle. We need more educators like this!

@@edmundooliver7584 Avocadoes in general came from Mexico, but cultivar type Hass Avocadoes (the cultivar type of avocadoes that the vast majority of people today eat) came from California when it was first bred by Rudolph Hass. People didn't breed Hass Avocadoes until Rudolph Hass first started doing so in the 1900s. As the video states, cross pollinating avocadoes and growing them from seed creates many tens of thousands of different variations and different flavors, so it was a lot of luck that Hass and his associates ended up with this type. That's why Mexico does not have a monopoly on Hass avocadoes and it makes no sense to suggest Mexican cartels control its production.
I never knew how lucky I was as a child to have a good tasting avocado tree behind my house.
You and everyone in the island
@@SICKFREDO why would he live inside am island?
You werent exactly lucky, because your tree is probably grafted on, or just a bought sapling that was planted.
Was it luck or had someone grafted it? 🤔
I have two avocado trees grown from seeds. They are proliferous with tasty fruit. The problem is that they grow huge, and pruning has to be done frequently. I have two grafted trees also. They have less fruit, perhaps a bit better quality, but have to be frequently fertilized. The seed fruit I have never fertilized
I trust no man with avocados but this salesman. I didn’t know I wanted an avocado tree, thank you.
Thank you Daniel. Let us know if you get one.
My Grandfather in Mexico had an avocado tree that had the tastiest
Avocados I ever had, they were large, the skin smooth and purple and a small seed
The size of a pecan. The meat was buttery and rich nothing like the Hass
Dont give it to a white guy, he’ll name it hass or another white name and call it his
Sounds awesome. My parents used to have a huge mango tree. The mangos were a bit fibrous but they were delicious.
@@Cisco_Crypto this is racism.
@@wesseger9076 nah its what happens lol
@@Cisco_Crypto that's a little bit unfair. The Hass avocado was cultivated by an amateur horticulturist. He got lucky, with a cursory glance, I didn't see anything about him ripping off a minority. Call it when you see it, sure, but isn't it unfair to say that about a large group of people?
This was the most skillful advertisement that I’ve ever seen. I feel like I gained so much knowledge. You sir earned a customer when I finally move out of the freezing cold Midwest to the South.
Wasn't an ad for me
It's called advertorial
so instead of planting a seed and playing russian roulette. its better to find the avacado tree with good fruit and take a clipping of said tree. that way you wont have to worry about what fruit you will get.
The video may seem a bit ecentric, but the man certainly made a lot of sense, and had a real funny way of explaining something quite scientific, as well as clever
Thanks for the compliment
The main takeaway from this video is that everyone should grow unconditionally. The notion that growing a tree is a waste of time is an asinine but I do appreciate this video letting us know it’s a gamble. Thank you for the information!
People who've watched the vid are now able to make an informed decision. There's not good nor bad, just facts.
@@SleepyLizard sorry if it seemed like I meant what YOU said was asinine, I just wanted to throw that out there specifically for anyone that might feel like they’ve wasted time.
yeah I was agreeing with you. and thank you for the comment!! @@rebeccamoyer9358
Now the big question. Do I tell my wife that her 3 year old avocado tree isn’t going to produce good fruit or do I just pretend not to know?
Mr Yeti, good question. I say show here the vid and let it fall on my shoulders. There's no harm letting it grow to see what you get if you've got that kind of time...if the fruit is bad I can always show you how to graft another variety onto the mature tree.
Just buy a tree and have 2. Then compare.
Save that bomb for when you're losing an argument.
Well, technically, you don't know. No pretending is necessary.
Just buy her a graft cutting as a present!
I didn't ask for this education but I'm glad I got it.
First thing, i learnt there are so many types of avacado. I thought they just looked different because of random shapes. Second, thank you for the video.
You’re welcome and thank you for your comment
Not sure, but i think geography plays an important role to this. I'm from South Africa, and my grandad had fruit and veg market in the mid 90's. Everyone in the neighborhood loved Avos from his supplier that he decided to plant the seed at our backyard. Best decision ever! Fruit taste same and we still enjoying to this day.
lots of people share your thoughts on the matter but it comes down to DNA. A poor environment can make a good tree perform bad but a good environment can't make a bad avocado good.
My grandfather planted an avocado seed in the backyard 25 years ago. The avocados that grow from it are not yucky at all and are actually quite awesome
how do you know it was planted from seed?
We planted one a few years back and it is certainly edible.
@@SirBorisHayter how many years back?
@@SleepyLizard about 5
Yeah my bro's grandma has a whole bunch from seed that turned out good. I'm growing a whole bunch of them so whatever they become is whatever. Lol If they are yucky, my pigs will still eat them.
Just fyi: crabapples were planted to make hard cider... and because, legally, you had to maintain a fruit-bearing tree in order to own land in the pioneer-days. They knew they would be gross to eat.
because they didn't have anything better. apple industry has grown exponentially since those dayd
Oh, and have you seen how beautiful crabapple trees are when in bloom?
@@denied7616 this is just wrong. They had Apple trees that bore edible fruit since the 1600's.
@@denied7616 They made hard cider because hard cider was safer than water, no dysentery or giardia in hard cider. They had a choice to plant apple trees, crabapples were better.
and of course the government screwed johnnie appleseed for planting all those orchards. just like the indians... and who can forget 40 acres and a mule. i love america....where is it ?
I heard this info when I asked my parents why we can’t just grow apple from seeds, still didn’t understood until now, you did a good analogy with those candies! RIP Hop Pop’s avocado dynasty though, at least he can still out-compete Amphibia’s avocado that have poisonous barbs.
I purchased a Catalina variety and loved it so much I grew it from seed. Seven years later it finally fruited and the avocadoes are amazing, guess I hit the 1 in 10k. My next one will come from grafting from a friends variety that fruits later in the season as I don't want to risk and wait as long as I originally did. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Angel, thanks for the comment. Yeah Catalina is very popular here in Dade County.
@@SleepyLizard lol I'm Cuban heritage and live in West Kendall, Miami Dade. My avocadoes came out creamy buttery rich in a large pear shape but I also enjoy the more watery types. My only complaint is they have a big seed and you will need to eat them once ripe as they can spoil quickly. SleepyLizard I can't thank you enough for all the info you provide on your channel. 😊
@@An9eL_C Yeah, I use Catalina seeds for my rootstock, nice big fast growing seeds.
I swear our dog did the seed selection for us when he would go to the neighbors orchard. Back when I grew up in Hawaii, my neighbor had a large orchard. My dog would go into it and bring avocados back. We were taught to give him treats, and he continued to bring us avocados, a LOT of them lol. We would throw the over-ripe ones down the gully next to our house. After his long 19 year life, our entire gully was covered in avocado trees, that produced delicious avocados. Cheers.
Andy, It's amazing where they grow. I've had so many people tell me they found their tree growing in their mulch pile. I once found a mango tree growing in a garbage bag that i left sitting for a few weeks in my shade house.
That avocado was not GMO, That's why
@@eumghvao3468 Do me a favor and research the topic before you start trying to answer my subscribers' questions.
@@eumghvao3468 if anything a GMO fruit would be more likely to produce a seed that would in the future also produce good fruit so u have it backwards.
@@christianterrill3503 wow really, like a seedless watermelon or orange?
If you plant 10,000 avocado seeds, maybe one of them will have edible fruit, and you can name it after yourself.
So where do the millions of avocados that we eat every week come from of only 1 in 10000 make good avocados?

Summary: To obtain a true Hass avocado tree, you use a grafted sapling from a reputable Hass avocado tree. This ensures that the tree you get is a clone of a known Hass avocado variety and will produce fruits similar to those of a Hass avocado tree.
yep
Thank you for this summary
Don’t loose your time you have to graft your tree even it’s old one
It's kind of hard to believe it takes 10 years, nearly to get fruit.
It's kind of like people, human beings, you don't want babies having babies
Even though I know my avocado tree grown from seed probably won’t have good fruit. It still has sentimental value because it’s the first plant I was able to keep alive. It’s still alive to this day lol
That's great. Keep it going. I have a vid on how to grow one as a house plant somewhere on my channel.
How old is it? Don’t give up on its ability to produce edible fruit just because it’s not grafted. The odds are way better than 1 in 10,000 that it will produce something at least decent to good. Give it time. That said, if you want to increase your odds greatly, graft or buy a grafted seedling. I think that’s the point of this video. The 1 in 10,000 only applies to exceptionally great fruit (the Reese’s peanut butter cup avocado). I don’t think the video makes this clear.
There are also outside factors, such as your local population of avocado trees and if there are sufficient bees to pollinate them.
@@SleepyLizard could Marisa use the cut graftings/cyons(sp?) on a tree that's already 10 years old or very mature? is there another way to pollinate her existing tree?
@@ghmj2607 yes you can graft onto a tree of any age. in fact, I've got two vids where I show how to graft onto mature trees on my channel: ruclips.net/video/wKqx_KAJGBY/видео.html
I planted a pear tree from seed years ago and all the fruit was always gross. This year though for whatever reason the fruit is so tasty. Something between a pear and an apple in flavor. I was so surprised! I'm so happy with it. The skin though has become unpleasant, almost like dry scales to the touch. But the inside is so delicious. Weird.
I like this Guy !

My uncle grafted many types of apples on to the same tree. After many years he had a tree that produced 10 different types of apples.
So cool
I think most people missed the point, which he kind of hid. You need at least 2 trees within proximity for them to fruit - the bees do all the hard work. Also it's my prior understanding there are A and B types (e.g. male and female) and you need one of each in order to get fruit. Best to plant multiple seeds/plants and hope for the best.
Hi Jeremy, this video explains what you're talking about: ruclips.net/video/tGToJYUkWMU/видео.html
While it's better to combine type A and B trees together it's not necessary. Avocado trees will self pollinate but you get better pollination when you combine A and B.
When I was a kid in Florida, we had an avocado tree grown from seed that gave tasty fruit. The first or second year it fruited, it was damaged in Hurricane Andrew and had to be taken down. Now I’m wondering how much money we lost from our patentable avocado variety.

You can grow edible fruit apples from a volunteer tree. You can eat crab apples and you can mitigate apple maggot moths with vinegar traps (it's work, but keeps the worms to a minimum). You can also graft pears, peaches, plums....also work, but you get fruit you can eat.
