It looks big enough to flower, but is it a grafted variety or grown from a seed? Seed grown trees take many years to produce. Hopefully there is a pollinator close by?

Thank you, Suzi for your reply. I don't know the answer to either of your questions as I am new to the home and to Florida. I think a neighbor said the tree has fruited in the past, but I'm not certain. It appears to be a healthy tree with no obvious problems but I have never grown an avacodo before, so I am totally in the dark as to what to expect. I have been reading the forum hoping to become better informed.

I am almost positive it needs grafted. Look on the lower branches and see if you detect a branch that has a strange knot in it.

With some reading and 4-5 grafts to start with you can make it fertile.

Extra grafts to ensure one takes.

Sometimes you can hire a pro too.

The amount of water you are going to give that tree, it is worth grafting.

Dont risk the possibility of it fruiting on its own it is not worth it.

Thats a nice healthy looking tree. Be sure and educate yourself on keeping that way.

I would pull all of the green at the base in a two foot circle. Don't put any pots or covering in that area other than mulch, if desired, for Root oxygen.

Sometimes avocados alternate bear, especially if the crop the previous year was heavy, so this might be an off year for it.

Not grafted plant (seedling) start flowering at the age of 8-10 years !!! I can't understand your plant....may be it's too young (in 8 years it can grow very tall, avocado is a fast-growing plant) ?!

The good news is my tree is in full flower. I don't know if this it's first time blossoming, or I moved in last year after it had already finished flowering. Now the question is, is there another tree in the area that can pollinate it? Fingers crossed!

You don't need a second tree to pollinate it. You will get plenty of fruit without one.

That is really great news. I thought only certain varieties were self-fruitful and for others you needed a pollinator tree.

Thank you

Sounds good to me, thanks.

Did you get fruits? I planted 2 young avocado trees, Fuerte and Hass. Only the Fuerte had flowered. The Hass did not (maybe too young?). Anyway I did not get any fruit from the flowering Fuerte. I am hoping that next year both trees will flower.
