What !! You got that Ota!! My new favorite Avocado. Not quite as thick and rich as kahu’ulu but just right for me. You got a good scion source to have added all these great Hawaiian avocado’s. The most kind’s I have heard of someone growing outside of the Islands.
Ardith is growing normal here. My tree has a bunch of fruit, I havent picked and tried any yet. Probably should soon. We are drowning in avocados... Reed hasnt flowered here yet either. My guatemalans are about to bloom but not yet. All the new hawaiian trees heres are budding up. Lots of good stuff.
Hi,I've had a Hass mounded for half a year and some of the new growth leaves have been browning and falling off, and some of the limbs are yellowing. Is this root for? Please see the photo.Thanks

The most kind’s I have heard of someone growing outside of the Islands.Yeah a nice guy from this forum sent me much of the wood. He had it inspected and all. Havent seen him on here much in a while. If you are out there, thanks. All the trees are looking nice.The Ota has one of the best growth patterns of all the avocado trees growing here. Super erect and strong. Ill be using an interstock on some new plantings here. This will make an excellwnt interstock to hang more droopy or weak growers and large types onto. We will hopefully get another 50+ trees in the ground this year, Im scrambling to get a new block of avocado trees going. Heres how they look at the moment.
No I built an entirely new mound out of bulk soil from a nursery that they said would be good for avocado trees. I originally planted the tree in a hole and two weeks later I realized my mistake and dug it up and put it in a mound. That was 7 months ago and there has been a lot of new growth since then, but now the new growth is struggling.

What soil did you get? Pretty much anything from a store is probably not the greatest. What you want is decomposed granite soil from the local foothills.
Alright I'll do that thanks. By the way can you point me to a spot (landmark) that has the soil you're talking about so I can see the correct texture? I'm not looking to go mining but just seeing what it should be would be helpful.
I like avocado, I hope that I can grow a plant from avocado. It's great that there is a forum where I can find all the recommendations and get useful tips.
Dang I went to my local nursery for strawberries which they were out of and just stopped by some avocado's that just arrived and left with a Gwen tree. That makes the 5th new avocado tree this spring. I've added a Carmen, D'Arturo, Reed, Gem and Gwen to my collection. My other trees are Pinkerton, Fuerte, Bacon, Mexicola, Stewart and Wurtz.

I have five in container and three older ones in the ground.
