Fig - Brown Turkey

Comments: -

Not much fruit for the first couple of years - due to birds getting them.  2009 saw us put up some 'holocaust owls' and we got quite a few figs, if we kept an eye on them. At the latter part of the year the birds were starting to get at them, so we netted it. 

Unfortunately, this fig tree has now died - it rotted out at the base - cause unknown

Avocado - Fuerte (B)

Comments: - This tree was here when we purchased the property.  Loads of avocados, but has died back this last year, as it was water bound for approx 8 weeks in our heavy wet - Jan 2009.  It has currently been sitting in water for the last 5 - 6 weeks [Jan/Feb 2010], so we are yet to see how it goes this year. Unfortunately we lost our best tree [Shephard Avocado] to the water last year.  It had massive crops on that tree [over 5 metres tall also].
