Someone from this forum sent me scions from Hawaii in August of 2018. Thanks if you are still out there. One tree set fruit last year and all the others are now flowering. We just got to try the fujikawas that set last year. Its very nice looking and good flavor. These should have a lot of oil in a couple more months.
Hi All,I have a question. Are flies good as avocado pollinators? I have a Holiday Avocado tree that has been in ground since 2019 and is exploding with flowers this year and there are tons of flies on it everyday. Big flies, small flies, hoover flies...all kinds. Some times I see one or two honey bees on it even after I spray honey water on the flowers. I guess in my area, flies pollinate the majority of avocado trees? I have a picture below of my Holiday. Thanks.

Hi guys, in the fall of 2020, I bought an avocado fruit in the supermarket.I do not know the variety, country of origin and other details, when I ate it, I did not throw away the seed,and now it has grown like this. I have a question, what kind of variety can be grafted on this plant, so that it gives fruit if grown in a pot, and is it possible? Can someone sell me avocado cuttings to be shipped to Russia when the time is right? Regards!
Hey Guys,Was hoping if anyone can help me out, have a few oro negro’s on the tree and not sure when to pick them, do they turn black on the tree before you pick them? Thanks, here are some pics below,Joe
My 5 year old Fuerte produced flowers for the first time since I got it from Lowe's. First time any of my avocados have produced flowers of any kind in the 7 years I've been growing them in the Vegas hellscape I call home.Just the slightest bit of hope that I'll get at least one set fruit if my other trees are able to follow suit.
