President Trump's tariff plan will affect the prices of various goods, especially California's important avocados. To address this challenge, Greg, the owner of the Golden Gate Palm Nursery in Richmond, encourages consumers to grow their own avocado trees to reduce reliance on imports. He points out that the inland areas of California are suitable for avocado growth and offers five-foot tall avocado trees for citizens to purchase. Greg has created a YouTube channel called "True Plant Stories," hoping to teach more people how to grow avocado trees, and he mentions that this is not only economical but also environmentally valuable.

Regarding the president's tariff plan, it may lead to price increases for various goods, ranging from auto parts to grocery items, among which avocados play an important role in the daily diet of California consumers. The owner of the Golden Gate Palm Nursery in Richmond has discovered an alternative solution to cope with rising tariffs. He encourages consumers to grow their own avocado trees locally in California to reduce dependence on imported avocados. He stated, "California's beautiful environment makes growing avocados an economical and environmentally friendly solution."

He pointed out that residents in California's inland areas are particularly suited for avocado cultivation, as "in the low-altitude areas of the Bay Area, there are suitable avocado varieties almost everywhere." However, growing avocados is not easy; it takes time and careful nurturing to cultivate fruit-bearing trees. To facilitate consumers, the nursery offers avocado trees that have already grown to five feet tall, ready to bear fruit, with prices ranging from $250 to $950. He added, "Unlike tomatoes that need to be replanted every year, once an avocado tree is planted, with two to three years of careful care, it can grow on its own and continue to produce fruit."

Additionally, he has created his own YouTube channel aimed at helping more people learn how to grow and maintain healthy avocado trees, and he currently has 11,000 subscribers. He hopes to use this platform to provide more people with planting knowledge. "Everyone should have an avocado tree; it not only helps consumers save money but also has environmental value. If you can give your friends avocados that you grew yourself, you will surely become the most popular person in the neighborhood."
