It was July 1 I planted a Hass Avocado seed...I soaked it in water for 2 weeks until it split.
It is now about 1 foot tall with quite a few luscious leaves and even new sprouts on the main stem. I was told by my local nursery it would never grow!
Well to my surprise mine did...!!!

My Dad planted a Hass Avocade Seed and has grown to 3 1/2 ft and has given a bit of flowers and fruit. I used the hand pollination technique.

Do avocado trees do well in a pot? Or should they be planted in the ground? If so - what size pot would you recommend? Thanks!

I’ve been watching your videos for a while and you have amazing tips tricks ideas. But the best one yet is suggesting people visit their county extension service they are a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the great work

I'm growing 3 Hass Avocados in my house in Las Vegas, NV. Two are already young trees grown from seed right from the fruit bought at the store, so you CAN grow them from seed.

We got 4 avocado seeds growing in just water and about to transfer them into pots. They already sprouted and grown into about a foot or foot and half baby trees.

We live in the high desert so we have to keep them inside during winter nights and inside during the summer.

Hopefully the 2 seeds from the tree my dad planted (also from a seed given to him) grow well. I've never liked Hass. Every time we buy them at the market they never tasty oily or creamy enough. My mom says the taste like water and no flavor. I think the one he planted was either a Pinkerton, Fuerte, or Zutano.

I live in San Diego as well & this video is making me want to grow my own avocado tree. Wish me luck guys!🥑🤗

I was wondering if you could do a video about growing Hass avocados from seed, what types of problems you might run into, and if it will grow fruit/how that works. I’ve heard conflicting things on a lot of this! Love your channel!!!

So Mr. Hass grew a Hass Avocado from a seed but we can’t ?

[saldelcastillo]

Hi, Shadow hills here. Your gardening information is always spot on and useful. I have a HASS Avocado tree several years old. It usually gives me anywhere from 40 - 60 avocados per season. It got very hot here and just about all the fruit fell. Is there any way I can get it to flower again? I have now covered it with shade cloth to protect it until this heatwave diminishes. Also should avocado trees be fertilized? Thanks a lot.

I have 40 acres of avocados in mexico and it's alot for work to maintain but rewarding as well

This is for the books. Hopefully YouTube doesn't remove it. Beautiful work team P&C.

Thanks for the tip, having avocado seed sprouting it’s root now. Never had seed sprout it’s root, tried all methods especially toothpick method.

[meganmaldonado]

I planted two avocado trees a few years back and wanted to know if they should be pruned or fertilized. Thanks!

[janetsavard]

Can you please make a video on how to prune an avocado tree? I like your videos very much very helpful!!! Thank you

[chrism]

Some great advice mate. I grow a Lamb Hass in an elevated mound in the ground and Fuerte in a large pot. My concern with the Hass, like many other avocados is that it grows into a massive tree, so for most people, they may not have a large enough yard to grow one.

This is a well timed video, my avocado that I started growing from seed last year has just started growing it’s first leaves. 😊🥑

[milandudley]

How much should I water my avocado tree? How do I know if I’m watering enough? Moisture meter? Digging? I planted a new tree and put two pvc pipes in the soil near the tree so I could see 2ft into the ground. This is the third time planting an avocado tree in this spot. This time I took the “mound” approach since I have clay soil.

My parents left me a small home in the Caribbean with a huge avocado tree and a guava tree. The avocado towers over the small house and shades the entire yard. Caribbean avocados are huge and taste different than hass. I would love to plant a hass but It wont get any sun with the other tree there and it gets to cold here in GA. I do love & appreciate the trees though. It feels like my parents are there.
