Growing Avocado

Does anybody know if it will be possible to grow an avocado tree that will produce fruit in the Gers. Have to be honest I have never grown one anywhere before and don't know if this is an unrealistic dream !

 

Any help....

Hi

I've visited avocado plantations in N Australia.

I've never seen them down here by the Med.

So the answer is " I'm not sure, but I doubt it".

Of course, if it was in a pot and spent the winter in a heated greenhouse, it might be possible ?

And if it was possible, Mrs MPPRH would have tried it ?

I have wondered about that one myself.  We certainly have warm weather for lemons and other fruits, but how that translates to Avocados not so sure.  I remember the climate in SE Australia being not unlike SE France, but then I really have no idea.


Will look in RHS book, but it probably only relates to Northern Hemisphere.

Thanks everybody. I think that you are right about the RHS book only really relating to the Northern Hemsiphere.

I was thinking about possibly trying in a Poly Tunnel, but I wouldn't intend to heat it, so probably no good anyway.
