Customer Tips & Reviews Avocado - Bacon (B)
RICHMOND, VIC
Avocado - Bacon (B)
I picked this plant because it was more suited to colder climates. I live in rural Victoria. I tried to protect them from the wind. Doing well.

Healthy quality plant. No transplant shock. Prompt delivery
SKYE, SA
Avocado - Bacon (B)
Looks good. Too early for me to say. Unfortunately, a Kangaroo sampled the new growth before the cage went on.
CALALA, NSW
Avocado - Bacon (B)
Happy with this little tree, I have kept it in overnight to protect it from frost until it gets a bit bigger.
WANNIASSA, ACT
Avocado - Bacon (B)
Avocado Bacon was in great condition when I received it. It is still to be planted in my garden on the South Coast. I selected this variety as it it a smaller variety and also recommended as a plant tolerant of cooler conditions. I am looking forward to getting a complimentary variety to grow with Avocado Bacon when it becomes available. I can highly recommend the quality of fruit trees, planting instructions and delivery from this nursery.
RAZORBACK, NSW
Avocado - Bacon (B)
I have kept my plant in the pot and will be planting towards the end of August mid September this will allow for the winds to subside and a chance for the ground to have dried out. On the Razorback the ground is very soggy. I would like to give the Avocado the best conditions I can for good growth.
Avocado - Bacon (B)
Early days yet, the Avocado Bacon is currently in my sunny laundry waiting for warmer weather as Sthn Qld has been a tad cold this year. I selected this plant, as once established, it should be able to handle some cool/cold days. Most winters I will have it covered though.

Doesn't seem to be bothered by the Melbourne winters, but do not like the dry hot summer days at all. Tip pruned to encourage the new growth. Flowered this spring (2019) and had to be removed until the tree was matured.

My grandfather had a Bacon Avocado in his backyard in Far North Queensland, it grew large and fruited prolifically. I very happy and healthy tree indeed, it seemed to love the humidity up here.

It was growing rapidly, even with our winter frosts, and the 45 degree heat didn't seem to bother it either, it grew 2 ft over winter and spring.but then the grasshoppers came out to play and ate the entire plant. nothing left but a 10cm stick! Doubt...

Avocado - Bacon (B)
Plant your avocardo high if you are in a high rainfall area. I also added succulent mix to the soil to plant in to ensure good drainage whilst getting established. Now 4 years old and flowering nicely.

Shade cloth on days over 35C and lots of water in Summer to prevent burn. I also paint the north facing stems as they were burnt yr 1. By the end of Winter it looks very average, yello/brown leaves falling off and I think it's on it's way out, ...
Victoria Point, QLD, Australia
I love avocados, what can I say, prawns, dip, instead of marg or butter, with chicken or ham, the list goes on - the trick is to keep the kids soccer ball away from the tree and developing fruit.

This Bacon was from Daley's I bought some time late last year. But died due to root rot. I think the plant was too young to aclimatise to the Melbourne's cold weather, even though it was in a pot. My suggestion is either try to get plants from your are...

Avocado - Bacon (B)
My Bacon avocado survived a frosty winter in Central Vic. However, I have come to the conclusion that it does not like the low humidity here in the drought. See how it goes this summer.
Sale, VIC, Australia
Fruit Trees in Tubs. My Avacado Bacon is in a 190 litre Olive drum. It was hit with 42 degrees and very low humidity last summer which burnt the new growth. The tree recovered and in fact has bushed out very well. Expect a crop this coming season.Soil ...

Just bought a Bacon, and am wondering if there is an equivalent "A" type tree that is as cold hardy...
Avocado - Bacon (B)
Claire the secondo meet your requirements however because of your climate you are best to go with the Bacon which is more sensitive to the cold. It is grafted so you will get fruit quicker then seedling trees.
