I think it's a public service and solid investment in the future to increase the number of these feral avocado trees... Life goals. A feral avocado roaming around every neighborhood... Maybe a feral mango and peach too... I want to be able to walk/drive to a feral tree and get some fruit, why is this not a thing? What are we doing with ourselves as an intelligent species?? Feral tree planting parties need to be a thing.
I'd love to get a seed from it, or a start. Is that possible? I brought a cherry tree back to life in the yard of a house I'm renting. It took a couple of years but it produces a lot of fruit every year now. The owner had cut it back to a stump, and I kept giving it water and plant food, and of course it gets lots of sun on the California coast. But I would love to plant an avocado!
absolutely LOVE this feisty, fierce, feral magnificent, ancient avocado tree that was mothered by the mama fruit tree!!! what an outstanding notice and share!!!! climbing them too!! EXCELLENT!!
Growing up in the 60s in Redwood City we had an orange tree in our backyard, there were almond orchards all over for miles and miles, that is now Silicon Valley.
My boyfriend and I would go to Salinas from Hollister while in high school. and see these trees. We would say, that’s us up there on the hill together. I’ll never forget those trees
Grew up in San Clemente, and lived elsewhere throughout the area. Back in the early 70s, we used to have awesome orange fights in the abandoned groves of S.J.C.
Hey there, love your videos, I just moved to a new place and planted 30 varieties of Avocado. I would love for you to check out my first video and tell me what you think and give me any advice. And if you actually know what flower type and heritage Pancho is, I would certainly appreciate it. The only other varieties I'm considering getting are Daily 11 and maybe Rica, Palo d'Oro, Puebla, Greengold, or Santa Clara Gold. Thoughts? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZWfRwI7WEcQ.htmlsi=VVVAqV9SqqWzkj2X
Hi Greg, Thanks for the profile of the Holiday Avo. video. I planted two Reed about forty feet apart. I was surprised two of my "Reed" bloom in different time. One bloom real early, the other Reed bloom late. By summer I realize I have two different avocado trees. It was mislabelled by the nursery. Looking at your video I think I have a Holiday and a Reed. The tree that bloom late is a Reed, the fruit is round. The other one bloom early, I think is a Holiday. It has all the characteristic of a Holiday Avo tree. Very weeping, it needs to be staked, the fruit shape like a pear, the leaves shape like a tacos. Now I need to wait till next year for the fruit to mature.😄Zone 8b elevation 2000 West Paso Robles Ca.
Wow, there are all kinds of finds in the OC, people don't realize that the majority of it was a willow thicket, with some sycamores and live oak. Avocados are beautiful trees, but I can't stand their flavor or texture. I'd go for the oranges though....
Avo's are easy to get started from the nut inside- super easy. They look like normal trees, grow fast - you can make a hobby of sprouting and planting them ...... for future generations.
Somebody is or was tending that tree for a while. If not it would all the way to the ground and more wild looking. Also there must be another avocado tree near by or it would spawn not fruit.
How sweet they are sharing space. A beneficial existence for both, apparently. I understood you needed two different varieties of avocados to have fruit.
