Hi all, my two and a half year old Reed Avocado is dropping its fruit. The tree is about ten feet tall and three or four feet diameter. I let it hold three fruit last year and stripped the other fruits off. Two days ago it dropped one of the fruit and today it dropped another. The fruit are very big the first weighted over 24 ounces and the second weighted over 26 ounces. I've read that Reed usually weight 16-20 ounces. Is this true? If so are these fruit dropping because they are ready? Or are they too big for the small tree? Any advice would be appreciated.
The first fallen fruit is getting soft and I will try it tonight.
