Great video REM, definitely have to look into Surround WP, definitely beats putting up shades over all the trees which is a hassle and extremely time consuming! Thanks for sharing!

Hi REM glad to see you’re back! Heat wave in San Jose today about 100. 48 hours back heavily irrigated to get ready and today sprayed trees down midday. No fruit drop and no leaf damage today so we pulled through. Luckily the heat wave was a short one this time.

@@AvocadoTalk I need to check in to make sure trees have been ok. I know he has shade cloth on the 6 I planted and they are on irrigation but he’s not as fanatical as me with the tree care. We have a big warm up coming to Bay Area with multiple 100 degree days Tue and Wed next week so I’ll be ready. Trees pulled through fine in the last one with a thorough watering 48hr ahead of time then light watering and spraying trees down throughout the peak heat. I’m a little worried about my current Reed crop on my biggest Reed tree bc it exfoliated pretty heavily this year and the new leaves are coming in but are too small to cover all the large fruit. Spraying down the trees hopefully will prevent fruit damage. For next year crop Lamb, Hass, Fuerte, Reed, MG all have nice fruitlets and hope they don’t drop.

Glad to see you are trying Surround WP. It's great stuff, I sprayed my trees yesterday. I'm closer to the coast so It's a little cooler here, today it was about 85, not too bad and tomorrow its suppose to be a little cooler, in the low 80s. So today I got one more in the ground, I planted my Queen. I considered waiting because of the heat but since its not too hot here I just decided to go for it. Glad to see your trees are protected from the heat and your Zutano looks great. I need to start making shade structures for my young trees so I will be ready for the heat later this summer.

Hi Sam, I think you made the right decision plus your temps are not bad. I have a Queen too, debating if I plant it and where. I know how it is out here and it's just going to get hotter later this summer. I like the surround, saw UCR application and it was way thicker but I'm keeping mine lighter because I like seeing green. Keep me updated on your massive mini groove too. Thanks for watching!

@@AvocadoTalk I like your micro sprinkler in the video. What kind is it and where did you buy it? I am using some from HD and they work well but in 360 spray they spray to far so I put them on 90 degree and they work well. I would like to get a sprinkler that sprays on 360 for shorter distances like yours. For surround I am putting it on thicker for smaller trees and lighter for my trees that are a little older and are able to take the heat. I hope your trees come through in the heat.

Im putting the Surround on my tomatoes and peppers now. I know for fact that both are seriously affected by the intense sun and heat. And have been putting them in pots under shade cloth that helps immensely. But one of the benefits is the critters dont like the clay residue so I will experiment with veggies in my back yard canyon area where all the critters are and see if it helps. I have been growing in pots near the house because of all the pest damages. I use 1/2 cup to 1 gallon of water. Or 3 Tablespoons for a 20 oz trigger spray bottle. Luis Nursery, Riverside puts it on all their avocado trees I bought them. And I have a few and they are all doing fantastic here in the middle of summer. The couple I got elsewhere a Hass and Fuerte took a serious hit when it got hot even in a cooler spot.

I like how you seem to know how to install irrigation very efficiently. I wonder if you’d be interested in doing an in-depth video about installing a system for two things: A) in-ground avocados, and B), small potted plants f such as 1 ga seedling avocados to 15-25 ga potted avocado plants, and the flexibility to run the lines from pot to pot. Either/or. You’ve got a nice grove developing.

Hi REM! Do you know what soil Brokaw uses in their 3.5g sleeves? I'm hoping to upplant it without having to clean the root ball like you have to with a La Verne. I also purchased a 15g Maddock nursery that I planted without cleaning the root ball, back before in knew how bad compost was. Now I'm concerned for my tree. Do you have experience planting Maddock nursery trees with their soil (I asked them and they use compost)?

Hi csskkai, Durling, Maddock, and Brokaw are fine. La Verne seems to be the only one that does excessive and almost like saw dust planting medium. My last Brokaw looked ok, there was some which is ok as long as it's not excessive or all wood chips. I'm planting more soon and will provide an update. I recommend you up pot right away if you got a Brokaw, the roots on mine were really looking to expand and yours probably too. Good luck and welcome to the journey!
