How Long Until My Avocado Tree Produces Fruit?

If you'd like to grow your own avocados at home this vid teaches you how to get your tree to fruit quickly.

My seed grown (non grafted) tree finally gave me a decent crop of about 50 avocados at eight years old and they taste amazing.

Bro this guy is the fkn GOAT. Holy crap. Came to youtube looking for answers to a programming question, came away with grafting knowledge for avocado tree's. Didn't know I needed it, but I am now pivoting from coding to farming.

Your explanation of when grafting is necessary is quite easy to understand. You're a great teacher. Thanks for keeping it simple.

Great information again. I have two avocado trees that are producing but not the same fruit as I planted. Gonna graft them pretty soon because I got the hang of the grafting & getting successful results. I learned so much from you. Thanks in a million. God bless you.

Bonjour !

It only takes one video to make me want to watch all the videos on your channel. You taught me more than most French channels. Thanks a lot.
Sorry for my bad English.

I was raised in Bethlehem, Tauranga New Zealand. The local avocado trees there were two storey high, huge fruit. The leaves over shadowed the orchard. It was just a every day thing having beautiful avocados on toast daily. I believe those trees are no longer there for housing. Even feijoa trees were of stature, palm size feijoas. The local Caucasian community were excellent growers

Thank you for sharing. I have about 10 avocado trees from seeds and I’m going to feast them. Wish me luck!!! ❤

Just a comment for avocado growers in general. Not necessarily a Tom issue... I would love a spot where we can buy scions from and get different varieties. Its hard to find varieties. Especially since we are seeing more cold hardy varieties becoming available. Would be great to get my hands on some. (Tom does sell them but he is only one man with a decent orchard. He can't sustain cuttings for everyone)

I learned! Thank you! My brain doesn't let me focus when people talk lol but I understood you so well. Thank you for explaining it all so perfect!

Lucky me, my grandfather planted two Hass trees 70 plus years ago in the back yard. They produce fat soft ball size fruit every year. I maintain them now. Use organic bat guano every January. Both trees stand a good 40 feet tall. They love to grow north and west. Must trim them back several times a year.

Great to see all of your new content. We’ve binged watched just about your entire channel over the weekend. Are you open to the public, and is there an address to visit your farm? And are you still offering classes? The website still shows most items are out of stock. Thank you for all the great content! My girlfriend and I have learned so much from you!

Thanks a lot sleepy lizard.. you remind me of my late father. At the age of 7, my father used to towed me along in his small acre of farm, doing those grafting / budding technique. I learned it by just watching him but never i take it seriously coz I have other dreams to take. Also i hve no idea why he was doing it, until i come across with youtr content. I wish to try it. God bless..

I went to a worm farmers place who had a 2 year old avocado in a very cold climate and it was taller than those big trees behind this guy. It had avos and the Australian CSIRO were VERY interested.. His answer was Worm castings Lots of WORM castings all over the base where the roots are.. He didn't graft, and his tree was full of avos and annoying him.. 2 yrs 12ft tall worm casting kept the soil warm even when some leaves were dying of frost... warm roots is like warm blood Id say.. The place was Griffith Australia cold and hot.... it does snow there and the year I was there it had frozen sleet on all car windows. Cold enough to kill leaves. I originally thought it was 5 years old but it was 2.. I was wondering why 5 wasn't so surprising when I wrote it..

[shelleydavis]

I've learnt something valuable today! Thanks!

[harpreetchadha]

Very good explanation.thank you for making us understand why grafting trees take less time to get mature-or produce fruits.

Thanks for all of this information on these avocados, but I have a few questions about grafting.
1. Does the tree you take the branch from to graft have to produce good tasting avocados, or can it just be any tree?
2. Does the graft have to be the same type of tree you planted from seed, or can it be different?
3. After I graft the tree, what will happen to the original tree that I planted from seed?
4. What happens if the graft dies, will the original tree take over, or will a different graft grow?
5. Most importantly, will these avocados be safe to eat, or even edible at all? My family loves avocados so if I grew them I’d want them to be safe to eat.
6. Also, how often should I be watering them? I’d hate to kill them by overwatering, because I am very good at that.
7. Finally, I have a seed that when I planted it, it grew two trees and both of them are in great shape, so if I do graft them, should I only graft one, or both. If only one, which one?

Sorry for all the question. 😅
