avocado and fruit fly

3 responses

Brendan says... Hi dave, I have about 7 avo trees, and never had problems with fruit fly. They prefer capsicums, tomatoes and my tropical nectarine :-( I do spray my avos with a copper spray, maybe that deters them.

davewastech starts with ... Hi guys, I'm considering to buy an avo tree for my Sydney garden. A smaller tree would be better, so I've been mainly considering Lamb Hass or Wurtz, although I haven't actually tried eating these varieties. I'm concerned about Qld fruit fly. What has been your experience of growing avos in the Qld fruit fly zone. Or any other recommendations? Thanks, Dave	About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 29th June 2016 11:23pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees

Julie says... I agree Brendan. I live in an orchard area, and the ban on Lebaycid has hit growers hard. Many stone fruit growers are considering changing to avocados as they don't have problems with FF.

davewastech says... Thanks Julie, When I used to live in Perth I had a Hass Avo, and yep, the Mediterranean fruit fly that you have in WA didn't affect it. But now I'm living in Sydney and I have read something somewhere about Qld fruit fly being more of a problem for avos(?) So anybody in the Qld fruit fly zone have problems?
