I won't claim to be an expert but I do have some experience with avocado trees. I do know you need 2 avocado trees to pollinate the blooms to produce fruit. I started my trees from seed in the early spring of 2009, so they've been through 2 seasons of growth. They are about 3-4 feet high, have multiple branches, and this is the first year they are expected to bloom. I've noticed a few budding blooms on both trees already and I hope they produce fruit. They will not survive outside during the winter so make sure they have a sunny window to hang out by during the cold months. Avocado trees are a tropical tree so don't overwater, and you might have to provide shelter if there are too many days of rain. Good luck and I'll post in a few months if there are any fruit.

Thanks for the pictures! You have some very nice trees! Good luck with all of them...I have to say even though I have pugged several mango trees and have done it often...even for me, every time I have to pug one of my trees its always nerve racking,lol...you always feel like there's a chance it won't bounce back or take forever to see new growths (especially in potted plants) they recover much slower...its a very drastic thing to do but once they start growing...you can see the wait and apprehension is well worth it for the overall shape and size you're trying to achieve...Good luck to you!! Stan's advise on the lighting is a very sound one :o)

It's not ripe yet, although it has red/orange color which started 2 weeks ago. I think it could be ready to be picked by maybe mid to late August. I couldn't wait for that day to come since this is the first time I will taste the fruit. I do have another mango tree same age in container but no signs of flower, ever. I hate to kill it. Also, I have started to do a cleft graft 3 weeks ago, and now have a grafted tree from this fruiting tree. So I'm hoping the fruit is what I hope for.

Although it is fruiting otherwise your plant does not look very happy. And with trees in general distressed specimens may load up with fruits, as though trying to compensate for a likely impending future absence from the local production pool. Mango – California Rare Fruit Growers, Inc. (crfg.org)
