This is a sucker that came up 5-6 years back off of a dead tree....or as least I thought is was dead as it was completely rotted to the gound. I think I've got to rope it back up. What do you all think?

Man O Man I think we going to be guacamoled pretty soon. ;D

(For those that don't know those are to many avocados for a skinny sucker...Oh ya the original tree was full grown when Susan moved into this house in 1968!)

Holy cow Old's. If that thing was up here in Alaska it would be worth many bars of gold!!! :) Man yrrr lucky! ;)

That's fascinating Olds, do you think all the freak weather has played a part?, or it's just a very strong tree?

Whatever the reason nice result all the same ;)

Man, I'd be up there with some Jalepeeno's and tomatoes and a big, big bowl. And a call line into Safeway to send us some bags of Fritos.

Yum.

I pulled 50 today, and I bet there is another 50-60 left on the tree. All of this off of a small sucker! In 10-12 years I bet it will be in the hundreds...

I'm going to be loading up the ground around that tree with Blood & Bone Meal, Green Sand, and much Fish & Seaweed extracts. Also some fermented corn meal (like a beer) to promote worms.

Mother would break my thumbs if I gave one of these away.... She has been purchasing 10 per week from the store until today... sorry... no care packages.
