My name is Sylvia, I like in Northen California.  I love photography and photographing fruit in bowls especially apples.  I found this forum while I was researching why my avocado tree is not producing fruit.  I hope to learn why and so much more.  Thanks:)

Welcome to the forum!

Is your Avocado a seedling or was it purchased as a grafted tree? Has it ever produced before?

Here’s some random fruit pictures to tempt you into diversifying your garden

Yes, those Mangos were grown in SoCal. That picture is from one of the mango tasting events we have annually over here.

Just out curiosity, does anyone in California ever refer to their state as "Cali?"  (I didn't think so.)

So it is used in speech by some Californians?  The reason why I ask is that I never heard it as a native Californian when I lived in California.  I thought it was just a word that New Yorkers invented!
