Harvest 10,000 fruits from an avocado tree!
From his farm in Gatanga, Muranga County, Peter Mburu Gathuu says he is able to harvest 10,000 fruits from a single avocado tree. Taking curious visitors through his small farm, Peter demonstrates its not the size of the farm that matters, it is how you take good care of your trees that determines the harvest. HortiNewsTV brings you the story of the 10,000 fruits :
As he walks through the orchard, Peter emphasizes the significance of pruning. He shows how pruning the trees regularly encourages better fruit production and prevents overgrowth that can block sunlight and air circulation, which are both essential for the health of the avocado tree.
He also explains how he uses irrigation systems to ensure the trees receive adequate water, particularly during dry seasons. This consistent water supply is necessary to maintain the health of the tree and to prevent the fruits from dropping prematurely.
Peter goes on to discuss the process of harvesting avocados. He says it’s important to pick the avocados at the right stage of maturity, noting that it is a delicate balance—too early and the fruit won’t ripen properly; too late and the fruit may spoil. He describes how he carefully monitors the trees and uses his experience to know when the fruit is ready to be picked.
He proudly shows the yield from his orchard, indicating how much fruit he is able to harvest each year, thanks to his careful approach. He emphasizes that with proper care, an avocado tree can consistently produce high yields and sustain production for many years.
