I have had fruit from 4/11 of my avocado varieties. They will all flower in the season as mine are grafted. Not all hold fruit if they are to young and drop them. But that is not true for everyone. There are many factors that play into a tree holding fruit set including weather, temperature, pollination etc....... I've known people who have had 2-3 year old trees that were grafted produce fruit and hold on the tree. I'm one of them who did so in containers with a Mexicola and Wurtz. You can see them in the Avocado forum under container trees. My Wurtz ( Little Cado ) has 30 plus fruit on it this year and is in a 24inch box and my Mexicola is in a raised bed now and I'm expecting it to fruit this year and several other trees that are now in the ground. I will update the group this summer. I'm expecting fruit from my Fuerte, Pinkerton, Stewart, Bacon, Mexicola and Wurtz. My other trees are still to young.

Use white (tub color) 100% silicone for tubs and tile. I like the kind that is used with a gun, not the squeeze bottle. Tape off the tub deck and the wall with painters masking tape to get a smooth straight line. Remove the tape immediately after applying the caulk. Using the tape makes it much easier for me. There is nothing worse than a botched caulk job.

"IF" you feel comfortable and are very aware of the consequences of "ONE" misstep, then you could probably do the patch adequately. I would remove all damaged shingles and nails and since it is not that big of an area patching the old nail holes certainly would not hurt. Be very careful when you lift the existing good shingles to nail in the new ones. Be sure to weave the new ones in properly. ONE VERY IMPORTANT detail is to either inspect the whole roof yourself or have a knowledgable professional do it. Look for hidden damage, there is a very high probablity that a lot of the remaining good shingles were lifted up by the wind and the seal was broken, you need to put a spot of tar under each corner of any tab that has been lifted and is loose, or the next time you get just a moderate wind you could loose more shingles. They may or may not reseal themselves
