Avocado "little cado"

Congrats...looks like you'll have some fruits to eat soon. Amazing how many fruits your Avocado and Nam Doc Mai has. Nice pictures!

Dang Ajay, I can't get my healthy avocado to flower at all - had it 3 years now...I'm going to research more of that on the internet.....

Do you do anything special to your tree? Mine is about the same size as yours......and where do you live in socal by the way????

Mangodog,I am in Carson by Long Beach.
Nothing special is done on my avo except
yearly pruning and fish fertilizer every month.

it doesn't seem to be a very large tree - what kind of pruning do you do and when?????

Yeah, I do the fish fertilizer thing too.....

magodog,I tipped new growth of my hass avocado throughout the summer months,my plan is to keep the height to about 12-15ft. My avo is about 8-9 feet right now.The little cado avo does not get any pruning at all.

Its helps with Avocados to live where other 'cado tree's are abundant,and if you have plenty of natural pollinators flying and flitting around. My Mexicola that had fruited for the first time last year-one,has set about a couple dozen this year. Typical for 'cado's next year will be more...and then as they become true tree's they alternate heavy and lighter years.

congrats AJ,
everything is looking great and the fruits seem to be holding on nicely.

good luck,
-Ethan

Nice pictures congrats on your upcoming mangoes and avocados.

Here is my brewster lychee tree starting to fruit

mangodog,

Home Depot in Rialto and Rancho Cacumonga had some dwarf Hass avacados that was already fruiting a month ago. These fruiting trees are very expensive at other nurseries, however,at HD, they were only 21 dollars. You might check your HD area next year around this time.
