Customer Tips & Reviews Dwarf Avocado - Wurtz (A)
Dwarf Avocado - Wurtz (A)
60/70 fruit this year, started eating now Feb, lives on a diet of fresh horse poo n straw from the racing stables. have 5 other different trees in the yard not big enough for fruit, next year. tree was bought from Daleys but not sure how long ago. At flowering I gave t a spray of water with 10% honey from the hives down the back. The bees hit the flowers hard.
LESCHENAULT, WA, Australia
Not that fussed on this tree. It's droopy and dense growth is not good for air circulation through the canopy and it doesn't seem to set a lot of fruit as yet. The fruit is the more watery type, thin skin.
GEROGERY, NSW, Australia
Appears More frost tolerant than my Bacon! FLowereing in its second Spring
FULHAM GARDENS, SA, Australia
. looks awesome, is a challenge to grow, very rewarding, birds wont steal them. i have 3 wurtz and a bacon. bacon is only a year old for cross polination.
ST ALBANS, VIC, Australia
Two wurtz are planted together. They are quite droopy, only 1 meter high. Tried to stake the branches so that they'd grow vertically. Apart from that, I did not have any problems with them.

Have always loved avocados. Never attempted growing one as believed it was too hard. Finally took plunge. Love the avocado in a smoothie with vanilla ice cream.

This is the first fruit tree I bought and I guess where the addiction started. The tree was frozen in time for at least 8 months some of which it was in a pot then in spring it went into the ground and took off like a rocket and didn't stop growing unt...

I (and my dogs) just love avocado. This dwarf variety was the one recommended for a small yard. Doing very well with lots of new growth. Must take a more recent pic.

Hard trees to get established - starting to do well now after a couple of years in the ground. Literally planted by placing on top of the soil and mounding around it with a mixture of potting mix and compost. Also, are growing temporary shade trees...
