Sir-Prize avocado tree: video profile
Welcome . . .
I'm Greg. My goal is to help others grow food at home, with a focus on vegetables and fruits -- especially avocados -- in Southern California. I write a new "Yard Post" every Friday.

I grafted a sir prize about 3 years ago. Last year it had about 5 babies, but they fell off. It is growing nicely and looks healthy. This year it bloomed a lot. I just looked at it and I see no babies. It is surrounded by Hass, Fuerte, Reed, so pollination should not be a problem. The surprise from Sir Prize is no fruit! I’ll let it keep going a couple more years and maybe graft a Sharwil to it this year. Maybe my expectations are the problem. I’ll try to be patient.
Hi Greg, My name is Harshit Godha. I am the founder of http://www.indoisraelavocado.com.
I am pioneering avocado production in India. I lived in Israel for a month to learn about avocado farming and invited my colleagues to India to advise if we can grow avocados here.
Since then, I have imported my plants and are currently in government mandated quarantine. I have been documenting my journey on youtube and people have contacted me to buy plants from me. So I am importing and distributing plants all over India.
I have a series on my youtube channel called the Avocado Insider. I interview industry experts and researchers and share that discussion with my viewers. I have had Dr Ben Faber from University of California, Dr Roberto Nathan from Israeli agriculture ministry and experts from Netafim Israel on my podcast and have published 48 videos so far on my channel. My channel link is here – https://www.youtube.com/c/IndoIsraelAvocado
I would like to host you on my show. I have read your blog posts. I tried to contact you but couldn’t find your email.
Please let me know what you think. I can be contacted at indoisraelavocado@gmail.com.
Hey Greg,
This is a random question, but I’ve always wanted to tour an avocado farm. Do you know of any in so cal that offer tours or are open to the public? I’ve done some googling, but haven’t found anything yet.
Thanks
