Utuado avocado bloom

[bovine421]

Does anyone else have this avocado tree.
As one of the California cool kids educated me last year.  That I may have turned it into a runt by letting it carry fruit on its first year of bloom. The tree is about 5 to 6 years old and only three and a half feet tall. If the fruit turns out to be early and excellent I will use it to graft to other larger tree's

.Utuado avocado comes from a semil 34 seedling. Experimental station in Puerto Rico (Utuado municipality). I prefer other my own selections
It will take up to 10 months on the tree before harvest
Good luck !

Thank you for that bit of information. I thought at least a few zone pushers container growers would have this variety. Since plantogram sells it. I will say it is a survivor other than being on the south side of my house. It has never been protected and a couple years ago it withstood a couple hours of 28 degrees temperature. I don't understand why plantogram or anyone on the east coast of Florida does not sell Wurtz avocado? Is there something about that avocado that I should know. Some folks on this forum give it a good review. To purchase one I would have to drive all the way to Fruit Scapes.

I got my wurtz from A Natural Farm 3 years ago. Not sure if they stock the variety anymore but you can always give them a shout. There's a guy in clearwater with a couple if that's not too far of a drive.

This is my Utuado avocado tree, its probably about 3 to 4 years old and about 3.5 feet tall. Its full of flowers. The tree has grown well in Cape Coral, but it stays small.
