Maybe they will help to keep the fruit thieves away:)

Have you had any problems with bugs this year? The spider mites have been driving me crazy this year:(.  Do you have a favorite products that can be used on smaller indoor/outdoor Edible plants? Gotta be safe my pets get into everything:)
Thanks

Hope it's as good as it looks:)

I almost got to try stewart avocados last year, but the squirrels got them first:(. ALL of my older avocados are in bloom this year and I am going to get a ultrasonic repellent to try and keep the squirrels away:)

Believe me I wouldn't have any problems plugging those fruit thieves, if I could get away with it. I have never had a problem with them and my citrus? Maybe because I am far enough north and nobody else in the area grows it, so maybe they don't recognize mine as a food source. I have naval oranges, mandarins, Meyers lemons, ponderosa lemons, tangerines and a tangelo. They do currently raid my plum, pecan, and peach trees though.

Thanks for all of the replies, it looks like I am going with one of the ultrasonic devices. I will start researching them and pick one. Wifey won't allow me to replace her children, ( Chihuahuas ) or use any lethal methods on the squirrels so that seems to be my best alternative:)

bsbullie seems to have a suggestion that might work and fits the needs nicely, ( Cheap and little labor). So the next question is, has anyone used any of these ultrasonic units and if so how effective were they?
Thank you.

I'm not sure about the mexicola, but you better make sure you have plenty of room for the other two. From what I've read they get huge.

Could be, although I think it would be accidental at best since they don't seem to collect pollen like the honey bees do. I also have honey bees, lady bugs and assorted other small bugs flying around.

Sure, I would love to add those types. I will send you a P.M.

So far I've only done cleft grafts. I tried hass seedlings and the local Mexican avocado seedlings,(not Mexicola). They never worked out for assorted reasons, admittedly some of it was me, (bad eyes and hands aren't as steady as they used to be . What has worked out the best for me strangely enough is the seeds from the Slimcadoes sold at my local grocery store when in season. Personally I only like them in salads but for grafting they are large seeds with a lot of energy and have worked out very well for me. Just out of curiosity has anyone tried the Mexicola and would you recommend it as part of your collection?
Thanks

Well I have several avocado trees now. I live in Conroe Texas, just north of Houston it was considered 8B, but after this winter they might change that Ha,ha just kidding on the climate zone change believe me the mild winters will suck you into a since of complacency and then whamo super hard freeze. I've been through a few of them over the years and it's a lot of work to protect all of my tropical plants. Anyway back to the topic I will probably just order the tree itself since it is relatively cheap. I do graft trees but I normally save that for the rare hard to find types. I currently have Stewart, Bacon, Brogdon, Wurtz,Greengold,( Turlock mexican unkown),( DelRay mexican unkown), Bonny Doon a relatively new unknown from California with a really nice write up about it and some seedlings from some chance avocados that seemed particularly good at the time, ( I know that doesn't guarantee the seedling will be good) but what the heck I have the time and if it doesn't turn out good well then I have some more root stock to graft to. I will check to see if dongeorgio has any scions that I might want, I am always on the look out for new cold hardy types
