I put the Simmonds between the Choquette and Super Haas because the spacing is a little tighter there and Simmonds is supposed to be a bit less vigorous. The Brogdon is closest to the live oak but still 16 feet away and south facing. I pruned back some of the oak branches so the Brogdon will get 95% sun. I’ve seen some large Brogdon trees so maybe a little competition with the oak will hold it in check.
I still have a Ronnie 1 gallon, a Lara-Pollock 3 gallon, and an Apmay on order for the springtime. One of those three will go in the last spot, and then I will grow the other two in pots to harvest budwood to graft on my in-ground trees. For now I will focus on establishing healthy trees and rich soil, and ultimately graft additional varieties like Kampong, Dupuis, Lara Purple, Russell, Catalina, Lula, and whatever the latest flavor of the month happens to be. I also have to accept that I can’t buy any more avocado trees. For real this time!!!
Super Haas fruit almost ready
