Thought it would be a good idea to start a post on Reed avocado. There has been a lot of interest on this excellent avocado selection. Would be good to start with who is growing it? Where is it growing? When do you harvest? Any other info regarding tree habits, fruit characteristics, and fertilizing schedule.
There is a Reed avocado in ground at the rented home over here. The landlord planted it more then 5 years ago. The growth habit is compact with a height of about 8 feet. The fruit is large and round about the size of 2 Hass. Green skin when ripe. Its growing in clay sand mix in Inland Orange county CA.
Fruit is high in oils has a great smooth creamy flavor. Its great fresh in sandwich/salads, use in guacamole, and use in shakes, putting, and pies.
