My Edibles: Avocado Trees SA

Avocado - Bacon (B) ^7/10

Comments: -

 Shade cloth on days over 35C and lots of water in Summer to prevent burn. I also paint the north facing stems as they were burnt yr 1. By the end of Winter it looks very average, yello/brown leaves falling off and I think it's on it's way out, but bounces back well each Spring. Still no flowers.
