Could be the fertilizer you use or could just be the tree getting ready to shed.  A lot of my trees look a lot worse than that right now but in a couple months they will shed and regrow new beautiful leaves.  They always do every spring.

Its normal, avocado leaves dont last forever.  Thry get beat up then fall off every year and re flush.

Theres some kind of plant that is almost the same as achacha called lucs garcinia.  Its named after a guy in mexico called luc who was on this site.  You can search for lucs garcinia here and find more info.  I am not that informed on the difference but I have both types and the Lucs seems to be less affected by the cold weather.

Heres a link

I found a bunch of dropped fruit on my malama tree.  This is a hawaiian one and I have never tried the fruit but will be in a few days.  The fruit get really big and turn black on the tree then fall off.



Theres a hass, sharwil, pinkerton, fuerte seedling, and 2 malamas for size comparison.

You should let the root stock grow for 1 or more years thrn do the grafting. 

If there was ever any question that we are growing mangos at the edge of the desired zone, this winter has been a cold reminder.  It’s been a long time since the forecast has been so consistently cold with rain, hail, and snow at low elevation.  Last night was mother nature’s climax with the lowest temp my property has recorded in 3 years (31F). Only the strongest will survive this winter. Wishing all you zone pushers the best over the coming weeks.

34 here just for comparison.  I dont think theres much damage done.  The worst should be past and spring should be incoming now. 

Kevin it needs to be yellow.  That will not be sweet yet.

I took this picture a few weeks ago to post here and forgot about it.  This is a 15 or 20gal pot with 3 plants in it.  It worked out great, less space taken and all of them ripened at the same time.

It takes 2 years to grow these then I bring them inside and leave them on the cou ter and my family eats it all in 10 minutes. 

I have some gold nuggets, dancy and shasta golds for sale.  We have way more than we cannuse.  Will send boxes for cheap.  10$ plus postage for a medium size box.  The fruit are really nice ones very juicy. 

It looks like fungal.  Same type of thing as ring worm or athletes foot.  You can get anti fungal cream at the drug store it will clear it up.  Theres spores always on our skin that can grow when the area stays wet from sweat etc.  Undersides of arms, crotch, inside of shoes etc. 

I think these tissue culture plants just are not what they are supposed to be most of the time.  I also never got 2 racks.  Its a scam.

Anyone have or tasted Kahaluu avocado? the shape is unique, similar to a Mango than an avocado
Also based on review (myavocadotrees.com/kahaluu-avocado.html) its very interesting...
"Kahalu'u is a mammoth fruit with glowing green skin, silk-smooth butter-colored flesh and a rich, slightly citrusy flavor. Farmer and researcher Ken Love of Captain Cook, who lugged 500 pounds of avocados to O'ahu for a series of chef and public tastings last week, said Kahalu'u has triple the oil content of the average avocado, and the sensuous texture shows that."

I had a tree and chopped it down.  It doesnt grow well here.  Fruit wasnt that great either.  Some of the other hawaii trees are doing better here.  Fujikawa and murashige are doing better. 

Hello I have lots of nabal and some others for sale here.
