I found a surprise waiting for me this morning as I walked around my backyard. It seems that one of the upper branches of my Avocado tree snapped off and fell onto my metal shed. It was full of fruit and put a nice size hole in the sheds metal roof.The fruit from the tree are about the size of small cannon balls and probably one to two pounds each.
Every now and again I end up patching up the holes made by the falling fruit and banging back out the metal on the storage shed. It is definitely a hard hat area this time of year.
The cleanup effort earned me three five gallon buckets full of avocados. My wife and I don't eat them but there are always people asking for them and apparently they are very good tasting to the Avocado fans.
The biggest fan is my Yorkshire Terrier Odette. She loves Avocados and waits all year for them to fall. She will even give up chasing a lizard for a fresh Avocado. Go figure.
