Brendan says... Hi Mel, I'm in Mackay (just up the road), and have 10 avocado trees growing, 5 from seed and 5 grafted. My grafted avos are: Shepard, Hass, Edranol, Reed and Lamb Hass. You should be able to grow any avos where you are. Do a search (top right) for 'Anthracnose Avocados', and you'll find a photo of my Edranol that's planted on a mound. That's the secret for a clay type soil. They don't like wet feet either. | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 16th May 2010 7:40am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Gypsum can reduce the avaiability of fe,mg and mn.I reckon it is better to mound and heavy mulch.They also hate any chlorides in fertiliser.Bacon,rincon and hass are cold lovers so Sydney and Melbourne are good.Hass is half mexican so central queensland is a bit warm.I grow wurtz,reed,shepard,sharwil and hazzard but they at at the edge of their tolerance and only shepard does well.That is the price for growing guatemalans. | About the Author Cairns 13th June 2011 5:56pm #UserID: 5418 Posts: 1438 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Hi Karen, I usually wait till it gets a bit cooler, like in a few months time. A good organic fertilizer is Super Growth, from Katek. http://www.katekfertilizers.com.au/Organic-Super-Growth.html It's cheaper at Mt Ossa store :-) (Later) It certainly has become cooler in the past few days Karen, you could prune it now :-) | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 3rd April 2013 9:47am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |
