There must be some thing that eats them wherever they came from. Wondering if there are any lizard or frog species that eat them..
Even if there is a predator that eats them, there are so many burrowing owls in my neighborhood that they have decimated all the treefrogs and lizards that might help. Literally a half dozen owl nests within a few blocks of me.
We only wish. Been dealing with them here for years. There are also other simar weevils in Florida.
Another option is to grow a tree that doesn't require all of those insecticides. I think it's better to work with the environment and to plant a tree that can survive in an area without a constant schedule of poisons.
Your house is in a beautiful location, i wouldn't worry about an avocado tree.😀
Hope that tree is on W. Indies rootstock like Waldin. However most of the avocado tree roots are shallow and it looks like you're a good 3' above the water line. Where's the water table? One way to find out is with a post hole digger.
Do you have a water analysis for the water source you're using?
It's my understanding that Hass is not a good match for Florida.
the seeds are the best part very tasty nut
Always wanted a Sweet Tart. So maybe a month overlap with my Pickering? Seems like the consensus is to get a slightly overlapping mango vs a so so really early or really late.Fruitscapes has cotton candy and it's late.So many truly great mangos that ripen after Pickering and Edward!
When does Sweet Tart and Lemon Zest produce where I live?
Mid-season mangos. I'd say July to August.
