I was just wondering what I'm doing wrong. I purchased an Avocado tree (Sharwil) about 7 years ago from Plant it Hawaii and dug a large hole like they said with excellent drainage and (trucked in cinder soil mix). They said it should start producing fruit in about 3 to 4 years. I fertilized it about 3 times a year ( using triple 8). It's now about 15 feet tall...a beautiful looking tree with dark green healthy leaves. It also is in an area that gets full sun all day. So why doesn't it produce fruit?
It actually has been producing small buds but the tree drops them all before getting to any appreciable size.
Any ideas I might try to get it to produce sizeable fruit?
