Dylan, I'll try and find out what kind of avocado tree this is. Now I'm seeing them at Home Depot, same label and everything, minus the store logo. Its labeled as Hybrid Dwarf Avocado. Is Bacon a dwarf?

'Bacon' is a full size tree with an upright growth pattern. It is not the best cultivar for long time containment in a pot, but they do set fruit when young.

my satsuma fruit looks like yours but is just barly starting to turn orange but it bloomed in the spring. is it supposed to take that long to ripen. You said yours was from a fall bloom?

My tree bloomed once in the Fall and again in the Spring. The fruit from the Fall bloom is gone now and the fruit from the Spring bloom is starting to turn orange and sweeten up.
