U use a bamboo pole & the you make a circle out of wire & the wire fits right into the bamboo b/c of the hole inside. Then put a cloth around it to catch the fruits. Or you can probably just buy a swimming pool cleaner Yeh my husband was telling me about the same thing that Ham said.

We just had our property cleared and want to plant as much as possible when we return at Christmas. We were planning a day trip down that way anyway (La Parguera), so a side trip would be awesome! Thanks in advance Linda Stefan and Summer,

My dad used to get a long enough bamboo pole and install a rigged up net at the end. The net was usually home made with a wire hanger and a sewn up cloth net/bag. The way to "catch" the avocados will be to bring the pole with the net up to fit the avocado inside. Once positioned give it a good yanking and voila the avocado falls inside the net (like in a mini basket). I'm sure if you really want those avocados you can come up with an improved home made device. Have fun! Ham Summer,

A grafted tree produces in 3 or 4 years. We've got a couple huge old trees that produce a ton (hundreds) and thought it was a little crazy that there are 7 avocado trees here! But, they are all different ages so there will always be avocados - nice to have something green to eat! They also lure little cats into the yard (yum yum). You can stick really hard ones in a priority mail box and they will be ripe when they reach their destination! Our friends are amazed at the size and how buttery tasting they are! katrina Avocados – the trees can take up to 8 years before they produce fruit if planted by seed.
