A warm greeting for the whole family of @steemchurch On this Saturday of agriculture in #celestialchallenge by @sirknight I present this spectacular fruit, the avocado.

Reference

The avocado is a tree native to Mesoamerica, its origin took place in the central part of Mexico and in some parts of Guatemala, where he cultivated before the arrival of the Spaniards.

The name of the avocado comes from Nahuatl (Ahuacatl), word that means "testicles of the tree". Its scientific name is Persea Americana and it comes of the lauraceous family.

The Tree:
Regularly, the avocado tree canreach a height of up to 20 meters, however, when it is grown, it is not allowed to grow more than 5 meters, to facilitate phytosanitary control practices, harvest, pruning and foliar fertilization. It has a thick trunk and with elongated leaves that end in a point in the upper part of the trunk. It has several branches, which they generate a dense foliage. The trees are planted with a distance between them that goes from 7 meters to 12 meters away from each other.

Reference

The avocado is considered a perennial product because it is grown throughout the year.

The fruit is pear-shaped, light green to dark green and violet to black. Its rind is rough with a greenish-yellow pulp and a very large central bone. There are approximately 400 varieties, so we can find fruits of different shapes and weights, which can reach
despite 150 to 350gr.

Reference

The ideal temperatures for avocado cultivation include diurnal values ​​between 25-30 ºC and nocturnal values ​​between 15-20 ºC. Records greater than 35 ° C affect flowering and fruiting. The precipitations must be well distributed during the year, having enough water from the fruit set to harvest, but avoiding excess water in the flowering stage. The soils with the greatest potential are medium-textured soils with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.

The harvesting of the avocado in the grafted trees, the first harvest of the fruit is done at the fifth year of life of the tree, usually obtaining around 50 fruits in that cycle. During the following years, it reaches 150 fruits in the sixth year (cycle), 300 fruits in the seventh, reaching 800 in the cycle of the eighth year.

Galatians 6: 7-10 "Do not be deceived; God can not be mocked: for whatever a man sows, that will also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; But he who sows to the spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not get tired then, of doing good; because in time we will reap, if we do not lose heart. So as we have a chance, let's do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith."
