Comments: -

UPDATE - August 2019

Absolutely covered in flowers. Tips of some leaves were burnt over Summer but still growing well in my 45L grow bag.  Going to put into ground this coming Spring - has had two Winters in grow bag.  I also have a Pinkerton and Lamb Hass going into flower at the same time (all the same age), but the Bacon is a bigger and stronger tree at the moment (given it's a full grown and not dwarf avocado, to be expected).  I live just outside of Melbourne in Sunbury, so we don't get heavy frosts often, but still get frosts - it even snowed a few weeks ago - and this guy is still thriving.
