Carrot Papa starts with ... Hello! We moved to our new home in Victoria 2 years ago. There is a big avocado tree but it bears only a couple of fruits every year. I know that I can increase the fruit set by inter planting type A and type B varieties. However, I have no idea what type my avocado tree is. If anyone can recognise its type, please help. Thanks!!!

Markmelb says... Hi - Unfortunately its a seedling A from a Hass seed by the looks and not a very good one - Ive seen alot better seedlings that bear very well alone only recently but because its so big is very difficult to rework with grafting something known - try planting a grafted Bacon and Hass next to it as the drainage must be ok where you are. | About the Author Markmelb MT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 2nd February 2015 11:38pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... CP - was the Avo you picked still hard as a rock (current season fruit) and not ripened? Wait till later in year as they should get alot bigger if theyre the current crop and review after that if your seedling is any good (about Aug - Nov?)My Lamb Hass have been on tree for over 12 months but is a late variety - Definitely plant a Bacon if you can find one within a few metres to help cross pollination - are there many Avos on seedling? please keep forum posted on findings. | About the Author Markmelb MT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 4th February 2015 8:17am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi Carrot Papa, if you want to find out if your avo tree is type A or B, try this: http://www.answers.com/Q/Determine_the_sex_of_an_avocado_tree Now I know it sounds like 'voodoo' etc, but try it, and get back with the answer. | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 4th February 2015 11:38am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

jakfruit etiquette says... Hi Carrot Papa, your Avo cant fruit if it doesnt flower heavily, and cross pollination wont increase fruit set if flowers arent sufficient. I would keep an eye on it at flowering time, how many flowers?, that may point to a causeof low fruiting. Also can you see any evidence of grafting, even a failed graft at the base ? It sounds like a seedling or rootstock which often take time to flower+fruit. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 6th February 2015 9:06am #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
