I just wrote this on another video but you have a very beautiful garden, absolutely beautiful avocado trees.

Jerry is a legend. Looking forward to hearing your opinion on the taste of Pancho.

Great idea on bagging them, im going to do the same with my lila and fantastic fruits. The squirrels decimate my peaches and apples, but so far have left my avocados alone.. i was getting complacent but for sure gonna bag them now. My fantastic fruits are just a big larger than yours.. and my lilas are about the size of your poncho fruit.. I feel like both varieties should be ripe around august? That sound right?

First year I've had fruit! That is what I'm thinking (early-mid August). My Fantastic is definitely ahead of the Poncho. The little info that I've found online says that Poncho should ripen before Fantastic but that does not seem like the case with mine. I think both will be ready in August/September

I might put bags on things fruit flies like. How exactly do they deter the raccoons? They are basically miniature bears.

[@northflbeachavocadoszone9a]

What ever took them has stopped. Perhaps birds?

[@StevenHughes-hr5hp]

@@northflbeachavocadoszone9a Probably raccoons, opossums or something like that if it takes them off because birds, squirrels and rats generally take a bite out of or poke a hole in the fruit instead of hauling it off.
