Great orchard!

Orchard is looking great! I'm really working to get a Fuerte to produce in Phoenix and I'm inspired and a bit jealous to see such nice looking avocados. Hopefully they produce well for you soon.

Check out Greg Alder's channel. He's growing avocados successfully in an even hotter and harsher climate than me here in San Diego County. I wish I could take full credit for the avocados, but they were planted two owners ago, maybe 15-25 years ago. They had way more, but only 5 remain. I wish I had more info on them to share.

@@fletcherfarm I like Greg's stuff. I definitely watched a lot of his content when deciding on what Avocado to try growing.

Great orchard! Interesting, that your pluots and pluerries are fruiting so good in zone 10b, even according to the Dave Wilson nursery some of them require '500 chill hours or less'. It gives me hope that my pluerries will fruit too in zone 10b.

There's a lot of debate about chill hours. I don't get anywhere close to 500, but I've had no problem growing fruit that is in the 350-400 range. The DW chill hour is a guideline, but I wouldn't consider it a hard rule. Good luck!
