The Avocado Story by AvocadoBoy

 Thank you for letting me talk about my Avocado Journey. Looking back, at 2010 when I came into contact with Avocado in Sabah. I took a deeper dive into Avocado after failing in Rubber trees, prices dropped till RM $1.00 / kg. Started to plant local hybrids and Hass from seeds. Ran out of funds and have to came back to Peninsular 2016. Continued advocating Avocado while hustling for a living. Went into MLM, employment and also drove for GRAB. Went back into Agriculture with helps from friends and started being Brand Ambassador / Promoter in fertilizers and Plant Nutrient.

By the grace of God, a venue was made available for Avocado planting in Bangi. My deepest gratitude to Bangi Farm Resort.
 

The 1st Avocado tree was planted end September 2017. It was a slow start, from a Six trees Avocado farm.

We started to collect any varieties that we can lay our hands on. Local as well as imported. Took scions from friends / some bought and started grafting.

It also took us a while to sort out the soil conditions here for the trees to thrive. Lots of failures , trials and errors. These covered the whole aspects from seedlings to tree.

Fast forward, 4 years down the road, 2021
Bangi Farm Resort had been converted into an Ecco Tourism destination, covering not only plants, but live stock. Complimenting our working partners , Bangi Farm Resort is a showcase of a complete ecological system for Food security. Farm to Fork, Fork to Farm and Beyond. We had introduced the Black Soldier Fly to Up-cycle organic food waste and plug it back to our ecco-system, giving it a more Green, more Sustainable , more Cleaner and reduce our Carbon Foot print. 
Some of our Milestones in Avocado are

GEM Avocado


 GEM Avocado, NOT G.E.M. Gloria Tang Sze-wing, the hot singer 😂
 Hass is the King of Avocado, GEM is the princesses of avocado (great-granddaughter). The GEM variety was developed by University of California Riverside researchers and named after a technician that help developing it, initials of Gray E. Martin. The new variety actually was patented and released in 2003.

 Lots of reference shall be made in comparison to Hass as GEM was develop to be better / differentiate / fill in the void.






The Gem avocado tree is a semi-compact, vase shaped tree that bears the fruit mostly in clusters interior in the tree, GEM is also a more consistent producer. Gem avocados hold particularly well on the tree.




 GEM has several of the positive attributes of Hass, including taste, size, color, productivity and seasonality, also matures later than Hass thus extending the season. GEM is described as "a little more oval or egg-shaped than Hass. It has the speckling on the skin. As it ripens, it will turn dark, and a lot of times the speckled lenticels will get a golden color speckle to it." This lenticels is actually pores through which gases are exchanged.


In taste tests conducted by Westfalia Fruit Estates, a South African company marketing GEM worldwide, the avocado variety scored better than Hass in terms of eating quality. Other surveys shows that it's as good as/ even better than Hass. Retail markets varies and in EU & US selling price is at premium compared to Hass due to the lower planted acreage.

A very promising variety of avocado for commercial planting.

Series on Avocado in Malaysia, Reed Avocado


Doing a series on Avocado. Starting with Reed, which we had sold out. Not to worry, we are expecting another batch May/June. Would recommend pre-booking 🤪







Reed Avocado is described as Reed Avocado, Hass's Rounder and Creamier Cousin.
First question normally being asked, how's the taste? It's rated as Excellent!
Bill Sidnam of the Los Angeles Times characterizes it as "an incredibly rich, buttery flavor.". The texture is buttery, and the flavor is bold, rich and nutty.
The Reed avocado is one of the larger known varieties of avocado. The round fruit can weigh up to 600 gm!. Its thick, green, slightly pebbled skin is easy to peel, and its flesh is a pale golden-yellow. It has a relatively large seed and seed cavity, but its robust size allows it to still carry a substantial amount of edible flesh. 
Second question, how tall is the tree?
Left to nature, it can grow to about 12 M. For Home growers, Reed can be prune down to 2.5 M and still be a good producer. Reed avocado trees are slender and upright.

What is the disadvantage? Reed ripe in Green so it's a bit difficult to tell when it's ripe 😁. Shelve life is short, about 5 days after plucking, but can be extended much longer by refrigerating. Reed store very well in refrigeration, even when cut. For better storage, leave the pit in.
One way to check ripeness is to lightly flick the piece of stem at the end of the fruit. If it falls out, the fruit is ripe. You can double check by pushing a toothpick into the cavity where the stem flicked out. If it goes in without much resistance, the fruit is ripe. Another way is to squeeze the fruit gently. An unripe fruit is hard, a ripe fruit has a little bit of 'give'.

Place your pre-order Now! Currently @ $180.00 Pre-Booking deposit of $50.00 only. ETA May/June. Kindly whatsApp me https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=60163261829&text=I%27m+interested+in+Avocado&fbclid=IwAR3Ip-0rNXNSyC38Xf2wP98u4IsKb_e79_bQPRkRVNNQTKjWPVg3EdfDXU8
