Poncho Avocado - Zone 9A Fruit Tree Update April 2024

- April 2024 update. It looks like my large Poncho avocado has set a couple dozen fruit. We'll see if they hold on and don't drop. My larger Fantastic avocado is still recovering from its transplant 2 months ago and the root rot incurred while it was in a 30 gallon pot with loads of organic material rotting over the years. It does seem to have about 10 fruit but I've already seen it drop several. The Fantastics in general started flowering about a month (maybe longer) ahead of the Poncho.

Oak leaves are super nice for composting. Your lucky to have them.
Yes took me a while to discover but I have grown very large tree using purely oak tree leaves that shed in fall and winter. Can't believe throwing them away and buying expensive compost for so long prior to learning their composting value.
Looks good! Keep growing.
Great video 😊
Lila is looking good this year for me.
Waw awesome ❤❤❤
I bought one of those Panchos from Home Depot a few months ago in the winter. I couldn't believe it can handle down to 18 degrees! Can't wait to start grafting it into seedlings and making more of them. You sound like an older Napoleon Dynamite by the way - that's a compliment.
I know the feeling of checking an avocado tree daily, to see how the fruit develops.
Nice! Im just down the road in FWB.. I have Bacon, Lila, Winter mex, hall, and just ordered a fantastic. My bacon and Lila are 3 years old now and the lila must have set 150 fruit this year.. tree is only 10ft or so, will likely drop many. Bacon didnt flower til much later., and not many flowers.. however it had some cold damage from our cold snap in jan.. its made it 3 years uncovered so im happy with that. cheers.
I would love to see some videos and/or pictures of your Lila in FWB! I only grow pure Mexican avocados because once every 5 years it gets to 20 degrees F or slightly below. Did the Bacon do alright in the 2022 Christmas eve freeze? It got to 17 degrees & I lost every avocado I had growing - including pure Mexican varieties. I connected with a grower in Gainesville and she had a delivery going to Destin and I added to that feight and met them when they got here.
Also, where did you buy your 30 gal plants?
Type B " cold hardy trees" dont produce fruits as much as type A
Just curious how you know that. I'm not disagreeing with you but genuinely curious
