avocado question

[Ed]

Our Avocado tree has about 6 fruit on it, this is its first crop (Melbourne), and the fruit has taken a long time to get any bigger, the fruit has been on the tree since Xmas, and only very slowly getting any bigger, is this normal? They are about small-medium lemon-size now. Many thanks any info.

g'day ed,

is this a grated tree or a seedling tree?

is the tree in the ground or a pot?

is it in a full sun position?

don't have any experience in growing avo's to eating stage but your time span seems to be a long time for them surely?

thanks len, it's a grafted tree, Reed, in the ground, have had it under shade cloth for the worst of the summer, and yes it does seem a long time.
