Hi Greg, you are 100 correct on Sir Prize. I planted two sir prize. One in the back yard and a year later one in the front yard. The reason I chose sir prize is low oxidation. Both of my trees hardly produced any fruits. The tree in the back yard is seven years old. I am ready to remove the tree this year or graft other varieties of avo. to sir prize. The one in the front yard is six year old, barely producing fruit. I decided to graft eight different varieties of avo. on to that tree this summer. Hopefully will fruit next year. Thank You for the video of Sir Prize profile. I am not alone.
Thanks, Greg, I was really wondering about this tree. I have a few Sir Prize grafted but for me, it has always been a mystery as to the particulars of the size and shape of the tree, the alternate bearing, the susceptibility to sunburn, etc. These videos are invaluable.
@@upeonyambo4645 water more is one of the best I’ve found most books always talk about being so careful of water, if your trees are dropping a lot of leaves constantly water it more and more often I’m in SoCal right in the middle of Santa Ana winds 30-50 mph is normal with humidity in single digits I’ve found they hate low humidity and wind but will drink tons of water more then any tree I’ve grown and will hold there leaves dark shinning green of course they do drop leaves normally but when stressed they really drop them before I figured things out my trees would loose every leaf during the windy season. Another thing you can do is spray the tree leaves and paint the trunk and bigger branches with a product called ivy organic or water based white paint. But if anything I mentioned is happening and you aren’t watering to much give it a try you will see the results trust me my trees grow 4-6 ft easily a yr now. Be sure to fertilize and always leave whatever the tree drops under the tree I will also add to it for a thick mulch layer they have feeder roots very high up in the soil so mulch is mandatory for healthy tree. I can honestly say I’ve yet to see any bad results from over watering temps can get 110f During the summer in my area. Another thing don’t add any store bought bagged planting mix when planting and if purchasing bigger potted trees removing what it’s planted in can help a lot they don’t like decomposed wood around there roots. I’ll comment again with another channel to covers some good info also Iv organic has a RU-vid as well. Hope this helps you out cheers
I recently planted a younger Sir Prize. My tree was in a 7 gal pot and is close to 6 ft tall. It is flowering but I’m not sure if it sets fruit if it will hold much fruit being so young it is very floppy too just like your description. Great profile of the Sir Prize since it’s alternate bearing I might graft a Lamb or GEM to it to keep up production. Great video Greg, love your informative videos.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Based on these characteristics it seems like not a good choice for a backyard tree for most people-which is really helpful info! Is there any situation in which you’d recommend it?
Sir-Prize can be a good backyard tree for some people. The Sir-Prize trees that I've seen performing best have been in yards closer to the beach, within about five miles, where it doesn't get too hot and the tree is less susceptible to sunburn.
