Any avacado tree will take between 3-4 years to start producing fruit. Even then, it will take 2-4 years after that to get any real yeild. That is assuming you have the correct soil/water for it.Tough little buggers.[/quote]
Is this true even for ones that you buy that have a plethora of fruit already on them? I’ve seen ones at the big drive-in nursery in Oceanside that are teaming with fruit and if I buy again, I was going to go that route!
The 1st one I had was a baby from a neighbor who has a good producing tree. I gave up on it after 4 years (I had a friend’s dad who had a mini avocado grove in Fallbrook look at it and he said it was a “donkey”). The 2nd one I bought and it died. This 3rd one I think I’ve had 3 years. It’s never looked great but now it has a grape sized avocado on it. I know I’m not in an ideal place to grow avocados but my neighbor’s does well so I’m still hoping. 🙂

sugar snap peas (just ate the last of them tonight)
strawberries
lettuce
tomatoes
basil
oregano
cilantro
rosemary
zucchini
wild raspberries (or blackberries, I’m really not sure, they volunteered years ago and do pretty well)The star of the yard is the apple tree. It is a CRAZY producer and the apples are delicious. I also have an awesome kumquat tree that produces a tremendous amount of very good kumquats but that’s not really anything to brag about! And one decent orange tree. I’m on my 3rd avocado tree and was about to pull this one out and buy the 4th but there is one tiny avocado on it right now!
Even better is that we have generous neighbors and friends and always get fresh oranges, loquats, plums, grapes, apricots, spinach, and tangerines depending on the season and how well they did.

ParticipantI keep wondering how long friends of mine are going to stay in their Point Loma home they haven’t paid the mortgage on in over a year. But they are vacationing in Italy at the moment so I can’t ask them for an update.
