About My Edible Backyard

The land is about 700sqm & I've got 24 fruit trees plus other things overwhelming the backyard. Most are different varieties planted in the same hole. The trees I got from Daleys do better, much better than the others especially the Secondo avocado. It's almost dangerous the amount of fruit it gives & the speed it grows.

Secondo Avocado, grows very fast & fruited in it's 2nd year. It needs propping up but it's 4 times bigger than the Haas next to it. The other one is Macadamia. I planted two together. The Daley's had nuts in the third year. The other one has no nuts in the 5th year.
