Avacado's
Xref: 127.0.0.1 alt.permacultu14238
My fiance and I have just bought a house in Northern Victoria in Australia and want to grow Avacado's. They do not grow very well in the cooler climate but we have been told that there are one or two varieties that grow better than any of the others. Does anyone know what the nameof these trees are? Thanks. Janine and Greg. |

Avacado's
What about asking the local Agriculture Department? Are you close to any
agricultural colleges? The Seymour area has one of the highest daylighting levels in Victoria, so if you are around there, you could be o.k. Just be aware that they are frost tender and need plenty of shade in the early years. So maybe a canopy of shadecloth over the trees? Judanne "Janine Smith" wrote in message . ..

In his book "The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia", Louis Glowinski says that: "....the commercial varieties tolerate -2 degrees C, even -3 degrees C and should grow in protected spots in Tasmania.....the range can probably be extended to some quite cold areas with -6 degrees C." The late harvesting varieties of Hass, Ryan and Reed might be the go. Good luck. |

Fran,
I'll have to get a copy of that book, too, as I'm on the Tamar in Tassie, and get very little frost. Now I just have to work out how to keep out the "critters" (as Elly May would say) Judanne "Fran Higham" wrote in message ...

But back to the avacodos, I was reading something else today and just co-incidentally there was a mention that the Fuente avacados were good in cold climates. |
