Welcome to this avoblogo. This will be an outlet for me and J to chronicle the life of our Holiday (XX3) avocado, planted in February of 2012.
I plan to post pictures, comments, and tragedies as they happen over the years. We took a lot of time researching avocado types and have found a relative lack of information about the Holiday variety. I hope to share my experiences to add to the library of first-hand literature about the variety, and hope that someone will find this useful somewhere. I aim to last a little longer than the other avoblogs, both in the life of our tree and the life of this blog.
Although I am starting this website in April 2012, I will be adding posts about the first few months according to the date of the events chronicled.
We have a Holiday avocado that is now ten years old. we live in Southern California, in Ojai. Our Holiday has never bloomed. I read of people that look forward to eating the fruit of their Holiday avocado trees, but I have yet to read of anyone that has actually harvested mature fruit from a Holiday avocado. How do you get an avocado to bloom?
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI've found a few accounts and videos of mature fruit on Holidays. Not many, but here are two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHoXJRhf8ww and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXpH5Kpzxy8 .
My tree bloomed this March/April, as did all the Holiday trees I saw at the local nurseries. It's really unusual that yours has never bloomed after 10 years. Do you have pictures of it?
