I purchased the avocado from lara farms in July 2013.

It was in a 1gal pot then re potted into a 15gal which you see it in today. (7months)


as for pollinator no, i have not done anything other then water and fertilizer. I do have multiple mature avocados in my area which could act as a pollinator.

(do all avocados need a pollinator?)

below is a pic of a Simmons a friend purchased (which is not flowering), the same day I got mines. its practically identical to how mines looked.


can anyone determine the age of that avocado? cause that's the age of mines


I'm thinking less then 1 year (with lara) + 7 months in my pot.

is this graft a early (teen-age) bloomer?

I was under the impression i took up to 3 years for a graft to fruit.
