Soidog...

I assume that these pictures were taken very recently...My Petersen avocados were finished over a month ago and the Booth 7's over 2 months ago... What variety of avocado are they that mature this late...Might be worth adding..

Polock "B" type , will mature Nov/Dec .excellent texture & favor ( high oil content )

The only problem, mine is the only tree I know of.

No grafting stock in PakCheong.

I am working on reproducing it vegetativelly, so far the verdict is 50/50.

I will know by January if the sticks are viable.

Soidog2, Fresh figs? To die for! How old is the tree and did you have a previous crop? Have you seen others here in Thailand?

I grew up with a large fig tree in our back yard, climbed the tree and gorged myself daily when in fruit. My blood needs figs!

Do you realize the historical significance of the tradition you are carrying on:

"The edible fig is one of the first plants that were cultivated by humans. Nine subfossil figs of a parthenocarpic type dating to about 9400–9200 BC were found in the early Neolithic village Gilgal I (in the Jordan Valley, 13 km north of Jericho). The find predates the domestication of wheat, barley, and legumes, and may thus be the first known instance of agriculture. It is proposed that they may have been planted and cultivated intentionally, one thousand years before the next crops were domesticated (wheat and rye).^{[2]" Wikipedia}

Having lived in the Middle East for a while I do know what you are talking about.

I grow dates for the same reason, when ripe I can imagine some Middle Eastern bazaar right in my kitchen; Fun!

The pictured tree is only one year old but I do have others that are older.

They root easily from cuttings.

As far as seeing any other tree, outside my garden; not in Thailand.

Best regards !

PS: When ripe, they are somewhat purple about the size of small egg..

Sweet, except the birds got a sweet tooth for them; I need to bag the almost ripe fruit.

That unfortunately deteriorates the taste a little bit. !

My garden is a bit empty at the moment.

We've just planted up the veggie beds hoping the rains will stop very soon.

But we've grown 1/2 a rai of rice & its well on the way to harvest time.

These pics show some I'm growing by the SRI method.

A single rice seedling transplanted young & well spaced.

Rice at this time of year is really beutifull; here are two kinds of "Lobster Claw" and some low hanging lemons followed by recently pollinated flowers on the same tree.

1. Dwarf jackfruit tree, second crop this year.

2. Bananas after one year in the ground one time ample 'pui wua' and a one time 15-15-15 and heavy mulch.
