Hi,
I have been very enthusiastic to grow some avocado saplings. I live in hyderabad. I searched in a lot of nurseries for avocado plants. One of them even strongly discouraged me to not plant avocados as they grow only 500 fruits per tree that too 5-6 years after planting. I am disappointed. Is it really true? Does anybody have any idea where I can get some avocado plants
Thanks
Kamal Reddy

Avocado is also called Butter Fruit. In telugu, it’s referred as venna pandu
Thank you Sir.
Where shall we get it and what are the Economics of Cultivation of Venna Pandu.
I am myself looking for these details. Seems like it’s not gonna be easy procuring these details.
Avacado pear (venna pandu ) will grow only at higher altitudes (ie 1000 meter(3000ft) above the sea level). It will grow only at hill stations. Trying it in plains is not useful.
Thank you

Avocado is known as Butter Fruit .
On account of its close resemblance to butter and identical lack of any taste it is named as 'Butter Fruit .
Avocado was introduced by an American missionary, residing in Bangalore between the years 1906 and 1914 was from Royal Botanical Gardens,Ceylon .
American missionaries who came for periodical stays in India during 1912 and 1940 brought a few seedlings occasionally of their choice of avocado varieties from their home countries .
This is the reason than more than a dozen varieties of Avocado grown in many parts of this region and hill stations like Kallar near Nilgris, Palni, Kodaikanal, Yercaud, Coorg, etc.
Even there was a small avocado orchard in the Maharaja’s Palace at Bangalore and in the bungalows of a few Britishers during that period .
Post World War 2 Government of Mysore opened a research station for non-citrus fruits at Hessaraghatta, Bangalore and about 150 avocado seedlings of different species were introduced in the research station. Later on these trees were removed but lots of seedlings were planted in Bangalore and parts of Karnataka and Kerala.
In India, avocado is grown in those areas where rainfall is high and fairly distributed throughout the year. Avocados cannot tolerate northern India’s hot dry winds and frosts, typically grown in tropical or semitropical areas with rainfall in summer and humid, subtropical rainfall areas. Intolerant to saline conditions and optimum range of pH is from 5 to 7.
Depending on the race (Guatemalan, Mexican and West Indian ) and varieties ( especially root stock variations ) hybrid cross varieties avocados can thrive and perform well in climatic conditions ranging from true tropical to warmer parts of the temperate zone .
Long, Round, Fuerte, Pollock, Peradeniya, Purple Hybrid, Shambaganur ,Trapp , TKD-1 , Linda , Puyevla ,Gott-Froid, Waldin varieties are grown in India .
