Your fruit trees look great! Not looking forward to the 40degree Boxing day. I have an avocado tree with 15 small fruits. How do you cope with extreme heat? Do you coverwith shadecloth?
Thank you! Yeah I’m not looking forward to the heat either. I don’t cover with shade cloth but you might want to with the avocado. Particularly if it gets lots of afternoon sun. What type is it? I usually just make sure I water in the morning and evening on hot days.
My avocado is a Hass variety. It is ready when the skin turns dark. I have to cover with small mesh bags to stop possums eating them! @@the.bee.friendly.gardener

Cute cucamelon

Do you have a Type B avocado to pollinate your hass? I’d love an avocado tree, just need to find the space for one!
