SMALL HEALTHY AVOCADO TREES FOR SALE
I have got numerous healthy avocado trees growing in my garden (which I have grown from a stone rather than grafted). Many are around 1 metre or so in height and one is about 2 metres in height. The approx. 1 metre trees are $20 and the 2 metre tree is $30. They are still growing in the garden so the buyer will need to dig them out. I have an avocado tree in my garden which I grew from a stone (non-grafted) and it produces beautiful avocados every year (pest free -- no maintenence needed for the tree and its 32 years old and still producing. They say non-grafted avocado trees don't produce fruit - but my tree has. No guarantees as to whether they will fruit or not. Photos of the fruit growing on my tree. The avocados on my tree are "Fuetre" (thin outer skin) which you pick when they are at a good size, once picked the avocado will soften (this particular type of avocado doesn't turn black). Mine are pest and disease free. I usually harvest the avocados as I need them in April and because they only start ripening (going soft) once picked - the beauty of that is that is that the fruit on the tree lasts much longer. Not entirely sure what type of avocado these trees will produce (if any)but could be Fuetre as well.
Pick up is Bayswater on the North Shore and buyer can dig plant out. Avocados are shallow rooted and the soil is soft and loomy so should be easy to dig out. Thanks.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
