The female (pistillate) has female parts only. Flowers are large, situated singly or in clusters near the tree trunk and close to the base of stalk
It is pollinated through cross pollination and produces fruits that are sweetest in all the varieties.
The hermaphrodite- contains both male and female parts on the same plant thus capable of self-pollination.

Hass avocados start fruiting at 16 months , that is when all agronomical practices have been met e.g. buying good seedlings, timely planting , timely manure application, timely application of pesticides in case of any infections and water provision. #SaturdayMotivation
Although avocados are fairly resistant to drought, well distributed rainfall of between 1000-1200mm is adequate for proper crop development. They also require well drained soils to avoid root rot. The best soils are sandy or alluvial loams with pH ranging between 5 - 7.

#Dearfarmers So lets talk about careless mistakes people make in farming.
A simple Thread worth your time.

- Lack of proper fencing.
We invest thousands or millions into farming but fail to impose proper security measures around the farm.
#WednesdayWisdom
#BBIReport #farming
Frequent theft and farm invading by livestock or wild animals results from simple ignorance or failure to protect your office. (farm)
Fencing is therefore a very important aspect that you should consider before venturing into farming
Lack of financial knowledge and risk management.

Farmers ought to know the estimated profit margin before investment. Don't be so much aggressive on decision making at the start and have less equity left out. Invest only whatever you are capable of.
