Michelle starts with ... Hi. I have a Stewart Avocado planted in a row with two Hass's, a bacon, a Mexicola Grande, and a Fuerte. All these trees are 4 years old and about 7' to 8' tall. The leaves on the Stewart don't open out flat like my other avocados. They are semi-folded inward along the center vein, so the backside of the leaves (a lighter, dusty green) show. The leaves do not look diseased or distressed and are not discolored with brown tips, but they just don't seem right to me. Is this common to Stewart avocados? Sorry, no pictures due to my pathetic land-line. | About the Author Michelle18 27th February 2013 6:32am #UserID: 7771 Posts: 1 View All Michelle18's Edible Fruit Trees |
VF says... Hi Michelle, I'm guessing you're in the USA? Here in Australia we don't have Stewart (or Mexicola Grande) - or at least not available to public - so a bit hard to comment. The leaf-folding may be a peculiarity to Stewart, but I had this happen to my Rincons' new growth when we had a 6 month dry spell, so possibly it's a sign of some dryness for your tree too. There are some US gardening forums which may shed more light, such as Cloudforest. Or alternatively, contact a nursery that sells the variety, they should be able to help. Good luck. | About the Author VF Wongawallan 27th February 2013 7:59am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... Jason, hoping to get to TFW in the next week or two provided rain stays away - I'll see if I can get more info. I can't remember the full story, but I think that TFW was already a research centre before current owner purchased, so I'm sure there are some hidden treasures there. Brendan, sounds good! Was it especially bred for regional conditions? | About the Author VF Wongawallan 4th March 2013 9:02pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |
