I'm thinking this is the correct spot to ask about my Avocado tree :-)
in 2013 we bought an Avocado tree at Jene's Tropicals nursery which was labeled Wurtz and we were assured this to be the best variety for a small back yard in Orlando Florida.
Since then, the tree is growing and flowering abundantly every year and setting fruit all over, but they drop in a matter of days when they reach about the size of a hazelnut. Small yard --> prime real estate --> compost pile for non-performers, except hubs refused to kill it.
The tree seems healthy, no pests. Over the years we tried everything, more water, less water, more and less fertilizer, copper spray, citrus spray, etc.
This year 2022 is the first time that 2 fruit stayed on, but looking at them, they do not seem to be the long looking Wurtz fruit.
So my two questions, can you tell which variety I have and any guesses why all the fruit keep dropping?
Thank you for your help :-)
