This week I'm also getting Sharwil bud wood.
CTMIAMI, that is great news, about getting budwood this week, of this great variety 'Sharwil.' I hope everything goes well, thanks for letting us know.
My winter mexican in the field is fruiting I will look tomorrow. Do you want pictures of the fruit
TREESNMORE, great pictures, thanks. So, the 'Winter Mexican' matures October through November, that is quite late in the year. Maybe a seedling, or a combination of this variety with another one, will yield a new variety that’ll fill the ‘S.FL-WAV.’
Zands, thank you for all the support that you and others have given in the effort for 'filling' the ‘S.FL-WAV,’ which we all stand to benefit from, by having year round (24/7) avocados.
Bangkok, I also have the ‘Miracle’ mango, I like it very much and recommend it. About your slow growing young avocado tree, I’ve noticed that this is quite common, specially with grafted fruit trees. Then, after they become established, they pick up speed, just make sure that it’s getting all the nutrients, water and sun it needs.
Luisport, very exciting, sounds like you are the mango and avocado pioneer in your Portugal area, stay safe, best of luck, and I hope you get a lot of good quality avocado and mango fruit production.
This an update on the status of the 'Winter Avocado & Mango Void' ('WAM-Void') at my Temperature Zone 10b location in Miami, FL, USA. Notice that when the avocado season ends in February-March, and the mango season begins in early March, there is an overlap of both seasons in the month of March. Thus, having 'Mango OR Avocado 24/7', is a goal that has been accomplished.
'Mango Void'As far as is known by this Thread, the goal of 'Mango 24/7' has not been accomplished.
The South Florida
‘Winter-Mango-Void’ at the Miami, Florida, Zone 10b location is:
December through February, for a total of three long months without mangoes.
The mango season begins on the month of March with the ‘Rosigold’ mango variety.
The ‘Keitt’ mango variety produces the last mangos in November.
The season ends with the ‘Miracle’ (Chok-Anon) mango variety, which lasts from November to January, but the reliability of consistent production is to be determined.
'Avocado Void''Avocado 24/7' has been accomplished commercially. But, the new patented cultivar(s) are not yet available for propagation to the general public. This Threads' goal is to find a cultivar to fill this
Void.
The South Florida ‘
Winter-Avocado-Void’ (‘S.FL-WAV’) at the Miami, Zone 10b location is:
March through May, for a total of three long months without avocados.
The avocado season begins with ‘Donnie’ in June.
The avocado season ends with the ‘Lula’ avocado producing the last fruits in the months of February. This year, I picked the last avocado fruit off a 'Lula' tree, on March 23, 2017!
