My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How do I know when to harvest my avocado?

6 years ago

After 10 years, my Day Avocado tree finally set a fruit - just one. I don't know when to pick it. If I pick it too soon, it won't ripen. If I wait too long, the racoon will have taken it. I saw online that Day Avocados are ready for harvest in September or October. That isn't much help. Can anyone give me some advice?
