The Best Time to Pick Your Avocados from your Tree http://www.pottedvegetablegarden.com/guide-to-urban-gardening-ebook-sale.html Many home gardeners who love to grow fruit really can struggle about when the best time of the year it is to pick those delicious healthy fruits. The farmers do it by using a test kit to check how much oil is available. If you pick them too early they don't ripen properly and they also lack the flavour. But, when you harvest them at the correct time they can be on of the most tasty, healthy fruits on the planet. So, when do we pick them? Right when the tree is in flower and the buds are just about to open for pollination. Yes, then place them in a nice cool dark spot out of the sun or on a windowsill like I do until they start to soften. If you do this you will really notice the difference they are just so creamy. The fruits can take anywhere from 5 to 10 days to ripen up depending on the weather.

Hi Marty. Thanks for the vid. Very helpful. I'm in Perth Western Australia will the picking time be different? Cheers Chris.

I'm most impressed by the description that says the take 5-10 days to ripen. Yes that's what I'm finding, but everyone tells me say 3-5 days and I'm like "hm that doesn't seem right in my experience". I'm impressed you have been honest about this :)

Marty great video mate. I have a 3 year old HASS Avocado tree which I purchased from my local Bunnings store.
Last November my Avocado produced hundreds of match head size baby Avocado's however those hundreds of baby avocados obviously died, which I believe is normal as it was its first year producing fruit only 2 years after planting.
Although even though 90% of the baby avocados died, looking at my tree today which is 10 months after all those baby avo's died there are still 11 Avocados on the tree, they are slightly larger then your average Lemon.
Considering my Avocado tree is a HASS - My query is should I wait for the Skin to turn a little dark before pulling the fruit off the tree, or once the tree start to flower again should I then start pulling the fruit off the tree?
I have done quite a lot of research however all the information I have read seems to contradict what others say, which doesn't help novice growers such as myself.
Cheers mate look forward to your advice. -
I love your Avocado, Thanks

Okay, so I have a tree loaded with fruit. Are you saying that I shouldn't pick them until the tree starts flowering for the next batch? The flowers for these fruits started growing this past winter. I'm standing here drooling and waiting to be able to pick them...I'm really looking forward to lots of yummy avocados, but after watching this video I'm sad...seems like another 6 months of waiting.

thanks that very useful advise thanks

I planted an avocado tree in my backyard in California, I only had 2-3 avocados for the first 4 years. I never knew when to pick them and always picked them too early. This year I have about 20 thumb size fruits, so I will have guacamole next year :)
-
Thanks heaps Marty.
Gave you a thumbs up. -
im from canada and its very cold here will it fruit inside without bees or will i have to manually pollinate them?
-
It takes a year from flower pollination, so yes. Only one fruit set a year,,I wish they fruited twice. If you are lucky enough to have a few strains then you can get fruit all year round.

It takes a year for avocados to be ready?
