Avocados flowering in December?
« on: December 10, 2016, 03:05:59 PM »
All of my trees are starting to bloom  :-\

Im afraid a cold snap will come and ruin this years fruit set.  Is this normal or am I in trouble?

Are you using a lot of Nitrogen? Some times that will push early flowering

Ok, good news.  They all appear to be ready to start flowering.  The pinkerton trees are flushing a lot of new growth also.  Went down to my trees this morning with Santas little helper and picked a few avocados.  We have been eating stuarts for a month or so now and they are excellent.  Today we picked a Sir Prize and a Pinkerton to try.  Not sure they are ready yet but we will see.

Cool!  Are you picking hass that set in 2016 or 2015?  Seems either early or way mature.
