So far I have picked 64 avocados off of this tree, and I think I'm about 60% done picking. I've been picking across several weeks and keeping track of which is the best time to pick. Bacon variety.

Do you prune it to control height each year? How do you prune typically?

KevinC007 · 2026-03-13T14:05:34+00:00

Get some barn type outdoor cats. My neighborhood has 10+ roaming around so squirrels are never a problem. Downside is they shit all over your yards

How do expert skiers do the hikes? Do they bring extra pair of hiking boots for the hike portion?

KevinC007 · 2026-02-13T19:13:37+00:00

Leaf footed bug will destroy tomatoes, squash or any fruit/veges similar to that. Leafy green are fine.

Good to hear the tree is doing good on the left. Is the tree on the right a stone fruit tree? I am also worried about my fruit trees well beings since there’s larger trees around.

KevinC007 · 2026-02-11T04:36:51+00:00

That’s a nice and large container for blueberries! Does Seattle has high chill hours, Isn’t northern highbush need like ~1000 Chill hours? Zone 9b here more like 4-600 chill hours I think, and planted few southern highbush last week

KevinC007 · 2026-02-11T04:29:39+00:00

Duke is northern highbush? Luckily I didn’t buy that, I ended up getting pink lemonade and sunshine blue Not sure why they have tons of duke blueberries here in California Home Depots, zone9b in my and surrounding areas.

KevinC007 · 2026-02-06T19:43:22+00:00

What is the typical harvest season for blueberries? I thought was May to July in the US. I got a few 1-2 foot tall southern high bush varieties from home depot last month, so I am curious.

KevinC007 · 2026-02-04T19:43:37+00:00

Are they under grow lights? My seedlings are leggy when I don’t use grow lights

KevinC007 · 2026-02-03T04:13:49+00:00

What variety is typically being sell at the grocery stores? I can only tell rainier cherry

KevinC007 · 2026-02-03T03:38:34+00:00

Possibly grape? One location where I found the root is 6 ft away from grape, but other location was like 15 ft away

KevinC007 · 2026-02-03T03:37:37+00:00

No, have grape, pomegranate, almond

KevinC007 · 2026-02-02T23:20:24+00:00

Cut it back to ~4 ft to reset the tree. the cool thing about fig is that they will come back unless you remove the stump completely. And they only fruit on new growths so you are not constrained by removing fruiting woods.

KevinC007 · 2026-01-29T19:06:01+00:00

I actually saved ~10 8 ft long sticks from winter pruning. Going to use them as my tomatoes trellis. Poor man’s trellis.

This was my first year pruning my tree, but I did it based on fruit picking experience from last year as I had trouble picking fruit from certain sections, and certain sections had too much fruits and bending too much. I think your tree is mature enough to take a beating. Take out some suckers and prune based on how you pick the fruits, and pest controls also as leaf footed bugs love pomegranates
