A few years back there was an article in POMONA about the Gilloghy avacado.I 
am going by memory here,but I believe it was supposed to have the ability to 
set fruit without pollinization from another avacado.I have one-it is now 
about 5 feet tall and is beginnig its second bloom.Last year I tried 
pollination between flowers with a very small paintbrush(since I am in West 
Virginia and the avacado has to be indoors).No fruit.Am I doing the right 
thing(paintbrush pollination)to get fruit?Unless I can somehow change the 
date of bloom,I will not have the luxury of pollinating insects that are 
available outdoors.No fruit Question #2:I've had a SHIPOVA pear/ash cross 
from Russia for about ten years now and it has never bloomed at all.Will it 
ever?     lloydy
