Reed Avocado (Persea americana)
Large round green fruit with a smooth dark, thick glossy skin. Smooth and delicate flavour. The skin ripens green. Fruit size is from 480grms to 680grms.
Habit - Avocado tree forms a thick canopy giving dense shade with it's large, dark green, leathery leaves.
Pollination - Light yellow/green flowers appear in abundance on the end of the branches in spring. 'A' Type flower. The female opens in the morning the first day for 2 to 3 hours and then closes. The male flower opens in the afternoon of the second day for 2 to 3 hours then closes. Hence cross pollination of two varieties helps in the warmer climates. In the cooler climates opening and closing of the flower tends to overlap therefore making them more self-fertile. Bees and flies are the pollinators. Cross pollination with 'B' Type flowering variety - Hashimoto, Bacon or Fuerte.
Harvest - February to April. Fruiting will begin 2 to 3 years from planting. The fruit take 9-12 months to mature depending on the variety and the amount of heat during the year. At maturity pick fruit and ripen at room temperature.
Most of the grafted Avocado plants will start flowering as early as 18 months when planted in the ground or in a planter box and given the right conditions and care.
Plant is 2+ years.
