I have two mature Mexicola Avocado trees, three mature Day Avocado trees plus other much more cold-hardy varieties like Brazos Belle, Joey, Lila, and Fantastic. About 3 or 4 winters ago we had temps down around 22-24 degrees F for one morning. Note that all of these trees had blooms on them at that time. All the outside blooms on the Day and Mexicola trees were destroyed except for the blooms located inside and nearer the center of each of these threes. Almost none of the other super-cold-hardy varieties' blooms were affected by the low temperatures. Interesting, the Day and Mexicola trees produced another set of blooms a month or so after the damage. The Mexicola trees themselves (and Day too) were not damaged however. Thought I'd share my experience with Mexicola. I'd recommend the super-cold hardy varieties if you expect below 22-24 degree F and lower temperatures.
Hey All,
My Dad and I began the process of top working three mature trees by my parents house.
Two Kents (one in front one on the side), and one Chocanan (backyard).
For the trees in the side and back I'm planning on putting Beverly and Lil Gem.
For the big Kent in front I'm still undecided.
I'm thinking, Delores, Nancy, Zill or Van Dyke.
As you can probably tell, I'm going more for production and general ease instead of flavor.
As long as they are in the same ballpark as a Kent in terms of flavor and season I'll be happy.
Varieties that are already on the property are: VP, Buxton Spice, Malika, Juliette, Rosigold, Rosa, Cac and a lot more seedlings that I will eventually top work.
What do you guys think? I haven't tasted Delores, Nancy, Zill or Van Dyke. yet
Are they always so small?
so far in my experience, fruits are not large.
You mean like a fish story, or perhaps square grouper?I saw the guys who take care of my trees today and they told me about a field in Homestead at least 10 miles from the ocean that was loaded with all kinds of fish from the ocean including large grouper that were sucked up by the hurricane and tossed inland.
I think they were screwing with you.
But seriously, this should be possible. South Florida is criss-crossed with canals, what is to prevent fish to be washed upstearm in the surge and stranded as water recedes?
How about cutting it 12-18 inches above break and try inarching grafts bridging the break. Possibly could use material from top of tree to graft with and if it works keep canopy compact until grafts and trunk strengthen. No guarantee but worth a shot I reckon
This is a big deal if the projections are correct. We always plan for the worst and hope for the best. I might be in the EOC for onslaught or recovery for this event.
For those who can and like to pray, pray it weakens or for a major miracle that it hangs a hard right and stays a fish storm. Anything can happen.
Regarding going into the gulf, my fear is where will it come out? Texas, Louisiana, back to Florida? All very bad options.
Praying Hands is definitely not dwarf but it is one of the most beautiful bananas... majestic. It has wide leaves and mine is about 15'... another nice one that looks similar is pitogo. Getting away fdom dwarfs but pitogo is my favorite of all bananas.
Pitogo is the one that is shaped like golf balls? How is the flavor?
