Margaret A starts with ... I have a seedling avocardo about 15 years old and very tall, which produces fairly reliably. Close by I have a Wurtz and Pinkerton about 6 years old. Last year the Wurtz produced about 7 fruit (many having fallen off early) and the Pinkerton 1. This year they both produced copious tiny fruit, all of which eventually went black and fell of while still tiny. I gave them much TLC. Meanwhile, the seedling is holding about 100 fruit. Any suggestions as to why the varietals aren't producing? | About the Author Margaret A Hillview 16th November 2014 7:00am #UserID: 10843 Posts: 1 View All Margaret A's Edible Fruit Trees |
Markmelb says... So Hillview South Australia? Would be virtual desert conditions there or is it the QLD one near Brisvegas? Need alot more info - Not just what the varieties are - are they all in the ground near each other? Or Pots and ground like mine? Follow the Birdwood regime on their Avo tags as good advice - dont know about grass clippings but Avo leaves are the best mulch ever - Also some pics would be great - I recently got a pinkerton but is a bit slow getting its roots into its mound - early days yet :) | About the Author Markmelb , 16th November 2014 7:59am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
