I am in the SE corner of South Australia. I have a fairly large avocado
tree, about 11 years old, grown from a pip (maybe a Hass, those are the
most common ones we get in the shops here) that I planted in what must
have been just the right sheltered spot.
This year, for the first time, it has fruit - only about 8, but fair
sized ones. When should I pick them ? I know they only ripen once they
are off the tree, but how do I tell when they are ready ? I've asked
around locally but this seems to be the only avocado in the area, so I'm
feeling quite proud of my achievement !
Many thanks.
