In ground for around 1 year. I've knocked off first heavy flower/small fruit flush to allow to root well. Growing very quickly and strong. Gets near full sun until late afternoon.

Wanted the Wurtz, but picked up the Hass by mistake. Not dissapointed at all though!

Question:

I have had this avocado hass planted for about 8 months now it is about 1m-1.5m tall but has not developed any fruit yet as it is still to young. The question i wanted advice on was that i have eaten hass Avocado before and like the taste but they are generally not all that large a fruit. I have seen other avocado trees around the Perth area that have a larger and slightly different shaped fruit on them (more pear shaped) and the skin of the fruit does not turn purple like the hass but remains green. Cold anyone please tell me the name of this avocado, more information about it, how it compares to the hass and best place to purchase in Perth? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Comments

could be the Hass or Bacon depending on skinn texture, one smooth - Bacon and Hass wrinkly.

growing slowly but steadily. they seem to grow in spurts.

2016 1 avo the size of a golf ball last season but no flowers this year even though other hass avo is flowering.  plant looks a little sick.  i have come to realise planting avocado trees is like getting a pet... a committment. the vids on daleys are right. they must have a large mound if you have poor soil, they must have a frame and shadecloth around them when young (hessian is good until it rots. to last, you should use star pickets and shade cloth  this will cost about as much as the plant.)  and they must be watered often. say twice a week min every second day in the heat of summer. if you cannot provide this dont bother, there are lots of easier plants to grow.

Comments: -

The Hass variety is the third and last tree for my avocado collection. All the three plants are still in their pots but I will be planting them along side each to cover one side of the shed. The trees in return will get afternoon sun protection from the shed in the first couple of years. A win-win deal.

I will plant the trees about 1.5 metres apart so hopefully they will dwarf each other as advocated by some gardening gurus.

Comments: - We purchased this 5ft tree from a local nursery for a good price. We built a large mound to improve drainage (we have clay soils) using a combination of quality soil from under an acacia baileyana, composted chicken poo/straw and a bit of cow manure. We staked it on 3 sides to help protect it from the wind. It is partly shaded from a eucalypt branch overhead. Survived winter frosts without any damage in Adelaide hills. We are on only rainwater so water it by hand once a week at the moment, probably more during its first summer and then it'll mostly be on its own. No flowers yet but shouldn't be long

I had two grafted Hass and they both died at same time (1.5yrs old) (they were flowering at this stage too..)

I think my area and scheme water too saline for them - they are not a common sight in Geraldton at all.

Comments

Hi Amanda Ihave grown Hass for 20 years, overlooking a saltwater canal with approx.200 fruit a year. What Hass do not like is wet feet, mine grow on sand with a natural fresh water level at 2-3 metres. There are many avocados growing in gardens around this area so air salinity is not your problem.

Wow - thanks GoldCoaster! although don't your trees have wet feet at that water table level? Our natural ground water is saline too...can only grow "saltine" kikuyu grass with it...(for eg)

Amanda the fresh water level is a natural phenomenon and is 10 – 15 centimetres in depth, it runs on a thin natural clay layer with corresponding fresh water levels about every 3 – 4 metres throughout the sand layer (about 30 metres thick) where fine clay particles build up - so no wet feet. The fresh water layer is heavy in iron, sulphur and other minerals. The base of my trees have been inundated several times when we have had moderate flooding with no ill effects. Have you tried mounding them with a porous base? Best of Luck.

looks like she will survive as the bridge grafts did the trick  there was no flowering but a fair bit of new growth...it is a bit of a miracle

Avocado trees are great looking trees. Bought it at a nursery this year and planted it next to my other avocado tree, with a mix of dirt,cow manure and compost. It is north facing getting full sun.  Seadsoled a month ago. It seems do be doing well so far and has currently produced some flowers.

Question:

Avocado - Hass (A) (Grafted)

Comments: - I actually have Lamb Hass, which is supposed to be a semi-dwarf variety with larger fruit than Hass.  Hass is my favourite avo. as I love the nutty flavour. ( This is my second attempt of this variety - the first drowned after receiving 400mm rain in 24hrs and it's dish not draining fast enough.) This is my second "A" type. Was planted Oct.'11 and as far as bushyness goes, in 6mth it has doubled.  Nice shape , attractive tree.

this one i grafted myself with stock from a brought avo and scion from a purchased hass avo tree from daleys. it has had awesome site prep, tons of compost, a sturdy shelter and regular watering. the results show as it has overtaken the tree i took the scion from. it flowered after 2 yrs from graft. this year it has about half a doz avos  that have been pollinated (only 1 tree). it is late spring now and it has grown a foot in the last 3 weeks.

This tree has been in for two years. First winter it went all black and died off badly. The stump shot up again and has quadrupled in size. Had flowered and set fruit in the first year but all failed to mature. Really looking forward to trying these if it makes it through the winter.

Comments: - This was in the yard when we bought the property looking very bedraggled - knowing nothing of avocado, we just left it - and it grew like crazy. No idea how old, or what stock it was, but each year has set at least 50 fruit, and we have harvested at least 20 (the bush turkeys and chickens have been at the rest. Just built a chicken coop around it, to stop the bush turkeys and possums getting at it - am sure there will be enough to share with the chickens!
