Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Zutano Avocado seeds
« on: February 07, 2025, 12:09:06 PM »
2 for 5$

I grow this tree to use seeds for my own orchard.  I have started a bunch of seeds for myself and have more leftover fruit that I will not be using.  I don't want to throw them away so I am offering them for sale.  And yes the price is a bit high but it is not worth my time to try and sell these for less.  Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks for looking.  Send me a PM please if you want to order seeds.

Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Venmo, zelle Paypal?
« on: January 27, 2025, 08:04:33 PM »
Why do people want to use Venmo instead of paypal?  It's the same thing owned by the same company but for some reason people want to use Venmo instead of paypal?  Am I just old and lame or what?  I just want to use paypal and not get venmo and zelle.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / PH DOWN product question
« on: July 04, 2024, 05:23:55 PM »
Some one gave me a gallon of general hydroponics PH down liquid food grade phosphoric acid. 

I don't have a big use for it but was considering running it through a fertilizer injector and watering my grove with it just to use it up.  I know my water is high in PH and the ground is probably also above 7.  If I run it with thousands of gallons of water it should be fine right?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Avocado Bark Grafting
« on: February 09, 2024, 03:40:45 PM »
Theres been a lot of people asking me for scion wood to do bark grafting of avocado trees lately.  Its not just 1 or or 2, its 5 or more people all wanting to do this in February.  Im telling everyone the bark will not slip right now.  You can do cleft grafts but I don't think the bark grafts will work out.  Thats why I have been doing this grafting work in December.  The trees still have sap flow and can be bark grafted.  Thats working quite well the last few years. 

I'm just putting this here so people can understand the best timing for doing avocado grafting and top working. 

If you want to stump a large tree, the best time to do that is mid summer.  It takes 2-3 months and you will have plenty of new growth to graft onto in December-April.  That would be small cleft grafts. 

If you want to top work a tree with 1-2inch diameter branches or main trunk, you can cut it back in early december (in southern CA) the sap will still be flowing and bark will peel off and be able to do bark grafts.  Or you can wait until it warms up again and do it in maybe April.  By that time, the grafts will be seeing a lot more heat and will be hard to get good takes if you live in a hot interior area.  If its a mild coastal area, spring and even summer grafting is not a problem.  Just shade the grafts until well healed and thry are fine.

If you want to do cleft grafts, of course the timing is not critical.  It is just getting the stumping and bark graft timing down that is more important.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Whitewashing trees
« on: January 08, 2024, 11:59:38 PM »
I don't know if you guys paint your exposed avocado and mango bark white.  If you live in rural San Diego you probably should since they get sun burn easily.  I always have used a paint brush to do it in the past.  And never did it enough because it is kind of a big pain. 

Well I bought a 38$ knock off makita cordless paint sprayer off Temu and let me tell you, it is so awesome.  I painted over 100 trees in just a couple hours.  It's so quick and easy.

You guys with big operations should get one, it rocks big time.
