Has anyone had occasion to notice if Sweet Tart in particular responds to drought stress?

Very common in Hawaii and many parts of SE AsiaThank you for responding. Do you mean the variety is common in those places, or that the variety is commonly pear-shaped in those places?
The latter. There being many different types of avocados and many are pear-shaped

I have had some avocadoes that were supposedly "kampong" that looked like that. This year I'm going to get a chance to try some that are from a tree that is definitely kampong, so I will respond here once I do.Great please do. Do you know where the pear shaped Kampong came from? I can't remember where I got my budwood.
Picked around October 10. This year they are spectacularly clean. The flavor 10++++. For those who value creaminess, AAA. Just clean tasting avocado,Hello! I top-worked a large seedling to Kampong and this year it's holding it's first fruit. Mine look way more pear shaped than the one in your photo and other pics I've seen of the variety - have you seen this shape in Kampong before? Also, any hints on when to know if they're ready to pick? With Pollack we usually just wait for them to starts dropping.
Lacks the Catalina, Nishikawa and to some extend Oro Negro boiled egg taste that I don't like. Delight on avocado toast or as side dish. May be climate change is going to benefit some old varieties.
I wonder why this is not in every nursery in Florida, instead of the latest hype. On the late season spectrum this beats Monroe, Choquette, Lula, Hall. Not sure about the cold hardiness but has a lot of Guatemalan in it.
My guess is full / raised shoulders, darkened lenticels and browning stalk = mature ready to pick.Loved this video btw thank you! Super informative and fun!

Brad, that's about the only kind of graft I do now a day. Easy, quick, works.Yep, me too. I use it for avocado, mango, sapodilla, mulberry, everything. I usually don't top the branch/rootstock until the graft pushes or if it seems to be healed but not pushing. This is the only graft I've had good results with.
