That's just what White Jade does. I gave up on it years ago.

Thats really odd Mark. I am having a hard time identifying that avocado. Those have been on the tree a year? I doesn't really look like any kind of avocado I am growing. Maybe let them go longer and try again in a couple months.
It kind of looks like sharwil but i have not see them turn dark like that.
Its not one of those oro negro or tex mex trees you had going before?
If it came from me, it is the real sharwil. I started with 1 tree and have made like 100 clones off it now and have a field of them. Im positive they are sharwils.
OK, thanks. Pulled 2 black ones yesterday. Refresh my memory, aren't they supposed to turn black on the tree? I don't remember what the drill was with my original, old tree back in 2012.
No they are way over ripe if its turning black. Sharwil doesn't turn black. Can you post a pic of the fruit or the tree?
I am surprised thry are not dropping from the tree if they are really turning black. Sounds weird. Maybe it isn't sharwil.
Sharwil would not hold this long in your GH i think. You should be getting very nice sharwils by February there.
Here's a sharwil picked yesterday it is totally green
Mark, search here, Kaz has pics and a long thread.

alarms, back up heaters, etc.
What are you using for a temperature alarm?
Maybe try pulling the sharwils sooner? They are falling off the trees here in April.
So maybe Jan or February in you GH.
I have a good one called fujikawa that I can send in winter. Also one called santa clara gold.
Trees are flushing and theres no good budwood now.
As far as the ones you mentioned in this thread, they looked pretty mediocre from Kaz's post, but you can check it out and decide. I would go for something better to be honest. Sorry Kaz.

Have not seen you around in a while...
Dis you get some sharwil grafts growing? I think it is better than pinkerton.
I have Pinkerton if you’re still looking.
When i was preparing the soil in the gh i did add sand for drainage and poriosity, i think i added less than what i need.
I understand that spreading it on top of the soil wont work, so i had the idea of making holes in the soil with a sharp obcect ,then filling those holes with sand . The soil really isnt bad , but i have some places that hold a bit of an excess moisture so would like to help with the drainage everywhere if possible.
Is this a good idea ?
One of the avocados I grafted last year had been doing pretty well until the last month or so. Recently some of the older leaves are looking a bit yellow and a few have brown tips. It is growing in a container (around 4 or 5 gallons) in a fast draining medium (EB Stone cactus & succulent with some extra perlite) and fed with a standard avocado/citrus feed. I'm wondering if the container is too small and could be contributing to the problem. I have another slightly smaller grafted avocado that is growing in a similar container with the same medium and that one seems absolutely fine. So I'm really not sure what's going on. Would appreciate any advice or suggestions.
