Reed avocado

3 responses

Brendan says... Hi Amanda, I'd say about 4 to 5 metres high maximum. Yes, you can prune them to a more managable height. Buy a grafted tree, as these seem to not grow as high as a seedling.	About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q. 30th June 2009 7:32am #UserID: 1947
Amanda starts with ... Could you please give me an estimate of the height a reed avocado would reach so I know where to plant it. If it is too tall is it possible to prune it to keep it managable? I would also love to grow babaco. Any suggestions as to suppliers? Thanks Amanda	About the Author Amanda Mullumbimby Creek 29th June 2009 10:19am #UserID: 2507

Correy says... If you wanted a smaller one you could try the Dwarf Wurtz Avocado Tree Brendan is right about pruning it makes a huge difference. I have a babaco and love them however my friends think they taste gross so perhaps make sure you like the taste before you grow one. I am growing one in pots and have had a few fruit off it now. After about 3-4 years it is still about my height.	About the Author Correy Woolloongabba QLD 10th July 2009 5:34pm #UserID: 3 View All Correy's Edible Fruit Trees
