does any one know anything about growing advocardo,s i have one growing in my garden from a stone ,it was not planted by me it has seeded i think from my compost bin ,it has been growing unprotected for 2years i don,t know if i should move it to my greenhuose or leave it as it is i can,t find out about them in any gardening book HELP.
Are you sure its an avocado as I dont believe they are hardy. Does it not get any frost on it at all? I have grown them from stones in the past in a cool greenhouse, min temp 5deg C or perhaps a bit lower. So they do stand fairly low temps. But I never let mine get frosted, wish I had tried it now.
I used to grow them years ago last one grew to 18 ft, but tried one stone last year grew 5 ft kept in unheated greenhouse, but lost all the leaves, which is normal, now sprouting new shoots an every leaf joint. Wish me good luck.
Good luck Ladybird But have you tried them outside. [ March 17, 2005, 07:47 PM: Message edited by: pete2255 ]
