The most interesting thing I learned about avocados on youtube is that you normally can't get the same tasting avocado from the seed of one you ate. That is a huge very cool tree.
Seeing all those lemons on that tree I had a flashback to Grandma's Lemon Marange Pie. Oh, those were so tasty. Must be about 50 years since I had that and still miss it.
Funny how some food will bring back a memory. My grandmother used to make a relish called “Chow Chow”. The smell I. Her house was amazing. She would can about fifty jars and we would have it for a year.
@@arboristBlairGlenn Yeah, for sure. Another smell at Grandma's that I can recall like yesterday was when she baked Ginger Snap Cookies. Oh that cookie aroma was just wonderful. I had that a lot as Grandma and Grandpa raised me so I was there 24/7/365. She also made her own bread and that was another joyful smell to walk into when getting home from school.
What a tree! Some of the best avocados I've ever had were taken from a tree we had to trim while doing a lot survey in Glendora, CA. It was a school project for a surveying class I was taking. The lot had a lemon tree loaded with ripe lemons. With a knife, spoon and some salt we enjoyed a royal feast. BTW, try putting a few cleaned avocado tree leaves in the bottom of a pot with water and steam some potatoes on a low flame, delicious.
Wholly Moley! your guess on the variety is as good as anyone's! Looks like good root stock maybe the one down the street was grafted off a seedling from this tree
Not sure where that info came from? Is that a specific type? Because it usually takes about three months to four I average. Never really checked the time.
The perks of working on trees in California. How's the snow in your area? We still have 5 to seven feet but the rain took it down by 2-3 feet. Hopefully it won't freeze again, because digging frozen slush is harder than shoveling snow.
As you may know, Avocado does not grow true to seed. If you plant an avocado pit, there is roughly a 1/10,000 chance that you'll get a good-tasting fruit. I'd be very interested to know if the avocados you picked were truly a cultivar or if it is a wild tree.
Podocarpus. Fascinating. I have seen some large ones in Modesto and Riverbank CA. Lots in Fresno too! Avacados hitting the roof, funny! The humming birds, you may have been disturbing their roosts?
There are cold hardy avos but freezing is a killer to them. You can mitigate by encasing them in ice or warming with burners and wind machines but even in California avocados used to get completely wiped out by freezes
