Jason says... Rincon is a small tree but very poor quality fruit. Probably the worst of all named varieties. Don't want to be the bringer of bad news and it's still good enough for avocado on toast but you wont want to eat it with a spoon and nothing else. Besides it's not a type B which you probably should have to pollinate the lamb hass. Just letting you know :). If I was in Brisbane I'd go Edranol and Reed as a pair I think. Best two fruit from each flower type. | About the Author Jason Portland 22nd October 2014 4:36pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

VF says... I have to disagree with Jason on this one. I have Rincon, and while I agree it's not as good as some (Hass, Sharwill, Hazzard etc), it's not a write off. Flesh is buttery, mild taste but not tasteless. I wonder if climate has an influence on this one. Far worse tasting ones around - have recently had very ordinary Anaheim and Linda. Only good for guacamole. Both very big fruit though. | About the Author VF WONGAWALLAN,4210,QLD 23rd October 2014 7:23am #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |
denise1 says... Its a wonder that some poorer cultivars ever got selected and propagated in the first place. I guess that they did really well in particular conditions. If you cant get advise for your own locality then you could multigraft your favourites onto your own trees or you could use techniques of growing a number of different varieties in compact manner to fit in small space. There are a few websites that explain it and it may be worth looking into. It may take a short time or a long time to fairly evaluate them as some trees can sometimes take a number of years to excel. try local knowledge. | About the Author denise1 auckland NZ 23rd October 2014 8:14am #UserID: 6832 Posts: 688 View All denise1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... It's early days in my avo growing adventure and I'd be more than happy to see some flowers and fruit. My overriding concern is tree size and as little pruning as possible, as I wouldn't have the space or the desire to maintain 100L pots. 40L is probably the max. I'm already pleased with my pinkerton surviving a year and the very hot summer last year in Brissy. I manage to save it just and it's been doing quite well now, thanks in part to the worm juice. So the wait for my own avo continues, as well as a type B dwarf! | About the Author Brain Brisbane 24th October 2014 2:17am #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brain says... Anyway, I read the avo flowers are not exact clockwork and hence the type As only, can be ok at pollinating and produce fruit, but obviously having a type B in conjunction is the better solution. I wonder if having some native bee hives would help? Years back, I have search extensively in American websites to see if there are any type B dwarfs and I've come to the same conclusion as you have. | About the Author Brain Brisbane 24th October 2014 10:55pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... VF, climate does seem to influence Avocados a fair bit. They tend to have more flavour if grown on the tree longer and they are on the tree in a cool climate for a loooooong time. Rincon has a very strong overpowering flavour here, it's probably better in areas where things like Bacon have little flavour (Bacon is also fairly strong in flavour here but in a good way). Reed is universally good anyway :). | About the Author Jason Portland 26th October 2014 9:13pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |
