Looking for help with questions about pollination for the Midyim Berry. Does it require pollination and doea it need a plant nearby or will bees do the job? Anyone help. Thanks. I planted out of the pot in April and it is fruiting now (June 2015) I was surprised to see the berries so soon. Must like its spot.Swish...

Hi Rich, Looks really nice. Would you consider selling a few pieces of scion wood from your already fruiting Jabos next time you prune the trees for me to graft onto my 2 year old? Here in cold Melbourne, this is taking even longer than average fruiting age. Thanks Pra

Dwarf Avocado - Wurtz (A) (Grafted) ^8/10

HappyEarth's Edible Fruits
Update: 4632 days 10hrs

Comments: - 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 around it to provide partial shade for the young avocado in its first few years.  I feel this has made a big difference to the success of growing avocados after a couple of early failures.  Good Luck!

I planted 2 small Rios last December. They haven't grown at all. They're in Sydney, sunny spot, plenty of compost. Soil is a bit acid ~pH6. Any suggestions on what I'm not doing correctly?
