David Willams check my comment below. One thing mentioned in video and I’ve heard before is do not add any thing containing wood what’s so ever composted down or not to the hole of the tree plant directly into the native soil adding sand or something for drainage in extreme soils. Check out Gary’s best gardening videos he really goes into depth about the issue and one of the main reasons avocados often struggle. As well as my comment about them needing plenty of water during low humidity mainly during the Santa Ana winds. Cheers

Thank you

I’m in jurupa valley right in the wind tunnel. My avocado trees will drink tons of water during Santa Ana winds that usually cause the humidity to drop really low often single digit. I’ve found avocados hate low humidity and need a lot of water during this time my trees will hardly drop excessive amounts of leaves with plenty of water even if it’s a cold Santa Ana wind. Avocado roots stay very close to the soil surface so it’s very easy for them to dry out mulch as well as leaving what leaves drops naturally under the tree is a must. Anyone having trouble with there avocados loosing leaves excessively during winter or any time of year try giving it more water I know the books and everyone says avocados don’t like wet feet but I’ve yet to find over watering to ever be an issue. I’ve never seen any tree drink so much water before staying beautiful lush green and putting on 3-5 feet of growth a year.

I think your location also helps prevent the “wet feet” issue. Happy your avocados are thriving! Have some guac for me! Lol

Great video, what everbearing strawberry's grow best in southern California? Thank You

Where is the nursery or what nursery can i buy fruit trees at?

No macadamia nut trees do not need a cross pollinator we have one at our beach house in Solana beach in north San Diego that produces tons of nuts on its own. Great trees but they drop a lot of leaves that are best left under the tree so that should be factored into planting area.

Does mulch increase your chance of getting termites?

According to the Rutgers University agricultural department, yes. “Do not bury any wood materials (stumps, branches, wood debris) when building a home. Do not place cellulose materials (such as firewood, mulch) immediately adjacent to a house. Using rocks or rubber mulch near the house will reduce the probability of termites remaining…”

Why are citris trees banned in California right now? Is there something I missed?

There’s a citrus disease that’s been destroying the trees last I checked they aren’t banned but have strict laws about moving them around the state. There’s tons of info about the issue here on KZread. It’s effected Floridas citrus industry greatly as well. Once the trees are infected with Wong long bing bacteria they will need to be destroyed to prevent spreading. It’s covered in this video about half way through. Cheers

Last I was aware only trees that were being sold were certified trees from UCR that had tested clean and they had to be purchased in your area and not taken out of it.

You should look at the hlb map and see if it's been detected in or near your neighborhood. It's pretty common in pasadena and surrounding areas iirc.

My citrus trees were gine until they wrre sprayed by the city for 2 yrs in a row. Then they got the disease.

Or….could it be that a citrus disease outbreak started in your area, so the city started spraying, but it spread to your tree anyway, since spraying only reduces the risk of the disease..it doesn’t make the risk zero. And the city sprayed…but it was only a problem 2 years later? If in the spray, the symptoms should have shown up very quickly after the first spray. That would also be a possibility….like if there is a bad cold in a college dorm, so the college gave out Tylenol, hand soap and masks to the students….if I got the cold, I wouldn’t think “that soap must have given me a cold….I was fine before it showed up.”
