Tropical Fruit Discussion / Grafting avocado tree
« on: September 19, 2014, 07:22:24 PM »
I have searched the forum and can't find an answer to my question.

I live in Florida zone 9.

I have been sprouting 'Florida' avocado seeds and have a small orchard on my deck. I believe these are Hall variety. Unlike the Hass or some of the others these seeds seem to sprout if you look at them cross eyed. They make a very hearty stalk very quickly.

I want to experiment with grafting. I have a Brogden tree that I bought which is now about 4 feet. It has not yet produced fruit. I also have a Wurtz on the way.

My questions are these; do the Hall's make good root stock? If I graft a Brogden scion to one of the Hall's is it possible it will produce fruit even though the Brogden is young?

I do not expect to make tons of fruit. I am more interested in the experiment of grafting rather than buying trees.

Thanks...
