  • Last year I had a lot of fun making mango jam. I though why not see what other tropical fruit makes a good jam. My son had his football team staying on the farm for his birthday weekend and some of the boys wanted to help me out. I had a great time making this jam and now we have a delicious snack to last us months, maybe even till next season.

    JD and Yuda - my wife and I stopped by the farm on Sunday to meet Tom and take a tour. Tom sent us home with several varieties of fruit and a jar of sapodilla jam. WOW! Delicious! You guys did a great job - keep it up!!! David & Pam

    I got a couple of these for the first time a wee while back. It was the smaller variety I got. I didn’t like them. They weren’t sweet and they didn’t taste like brown sugar. They had a kind of unpleasant grittiness or powderiness to em. Given the descriptions i heard people give the taste- being very sweet- I was quite disappointed cuz they weren’t remotely like what people described em. I live in Scotland so we don’t get stuff like that often and when we do it’s often not the best of quality

    It snowed quite a bit. The snow cover is about 4 to 5 inches. My trees are still growing.
    And my main avocado tree hasn't wilted, even though I haven't watered it for 8 days. The buds are getting bigger. I think that pruning was the best thing I could've done for my beloved tree. I mean sure, the browning is still continuing, but it's not as bad as before. The worst part is, the cold.
    Since the cloud will diminish by the evening and the nights will be clear and calm, the temperatures will probably drop down to 15 degrees, or lower Farenheit.

      I've done it with loquat and mulberry but never with avocado although that method would work. Thing is you don't get as robust a root system with that method.

      @@SleepyLizard thank you for the reply. My follow up question was going to be why you may not recommend it. Im stationed in Maryland now and was stationed in Washington state before trying to grow the Sir Prize variety avocado tree, but had a really bad frost and the tree didnt make it. Is there a variety you would recommend that can be grown in a large pot indoors? I keep getting orders to really cold climates.

    Today is our last warm day before the winter comes back. Today the temperatures will reach 15 degrees Celsius or 60 degrees Farenheit. Then a thunderstorm will develop, and it's January, T-strom are unheard of in January here. And in 2-3 day, we will have mornings down to 15 degrees F yet again. The snow will be around 2-3 inches in depth.
    A few days after I mildly "decapitated" my avocado tree, so to speak, it's doing pretty well, it hasn't wilted yet. The top buds mayyyybe look slightly bigger, but I'm not sure. The browning has almost stopped. Pruning is indeed essential.
