Jason says... Hi Bernie some varieties take longer than others but I haven't heard of Reed taking a longer than usual time so you would expect a fruit or 3 at least by the 3rd year with production increasing every year. If you can push it to grow strongly (should grow perfect in Sydney) by the time it's 7-8 years or so you should be right for Avocados. A lot of people really like Reed and say it's the best tasting Avocado plus it can hang on the tree well and has a long season like Hass does so all around it's a pretty good one. Reed will be a pretty big tree but it will grow fairly straight so most of the room it takes up will be in the sky | About the Author Jason10 Portland, Vic 5th October 2010 9:08am #UserID: 3853 Posts: 218 View All Jason10's Edible Fruit Trees |
