| My avocados (Hass, I think) are turning dark on the tree. It seems to start on the bottom and progress up the fruit until the whole thing is dark. The fruit still seems firm and is not shriveling or anything. Does this mean something bad happened or that it is time to harvest them or??? Much of the fruit is still green. The tree is fairly mature and seems reasonably healthy. The avocados are small, but not outrageously so. I haven't really done anything to the tree in the two years I have been here except water it during the dry season. --McKenzie |

| Most of them are green right now. A few are starting to turn very dark (basically black) at the bottom. Last year there were very few avocados. I picked them while they were still green. I don't know if they would have started to turn black if I had left them on the tree, and unfortunately, I don't remember exactly when I picked them, either. Based on googling, the color and shape is consistent with Hass avocados, but I am wondering about the progression of the color change, from the bottom up toward the stem. Does that sound normal? I didn't see anything about the progression of the change in the sources I googled. --McKenzie |
