Looking for Lula avocado seeds

[Joshua_TX]

Hello, I am trying to source avocado seeds of the "Lula" variety.  I don't know if the season is over now but if you can help please let me know.  I can cover shipping or we can work something out.

All the best.

I saw some in Winn Diexie a few weeks ago. May be past the season.

Is your issue with root stock sodium in the water, temperature or both?

[Joshua_TX]

Salts.  Here we can grow avocados that are cold hardy into the teens but they have trouble with soil salinity apparently and chlorosis when on their own roots.

I was in my grove today and stopped by a fruit stand. They had Lulas for $2.00 each. Expensive is the end of the season.

For salt issues I understand that Waldin is better than Lula. Lula is more cold resistant.   At some point in time I think I will top work two  trees with Lula and Waldin,  I get a lot of request for seeds.

Probably this year I may have fruit from a variety called Berta Rodriguez. It should be good for root stock in your location. Check it out in my web  http://www.myavocadotrees.com/berta-rodriguez.html  It was found growing in a coastal area among mangroves If I have fruit I can send you a seed for you to test there.

Thanks for the info Carlos!  I had not heard of Waldin or Berta Rodriguez.  I bet it would do well as a rootstock in Texas, if yours bears fruit I'd be grateful to trial a seed here.

So Florida exports a lot of its Waldin seed and it is used in places like Peru to use as root stock for Hass. It supposed to work good for salty water.
