“Avocado Watch–List”A cultivar by cultivar review from the point of view of whether these avocado varieties are being grown (field tested) in South Florida, USA.
And, to ultimately verify whether they’ll fill the
‘S.Florida-Winter Avocado Void’ (‘SFL-WAV’) months of the year of March, April and May.
Key:
Underlined 'cultivars' are recommended for field testing, those that are not underlined are already being grown by a 'Forum Member(s)'.
Strikethrough 'cultivars' have been reported to mature outside the
'SFL-WAV.' They'll be kept for the record, on the "Watch-List.'
Potential
'SFL-WAV' cultivars:
Group 1: 'Sharwil,' '
Fujikawa,' 'Utuado,' 'Jan-Boyce,' ‘Reed,’ ‘Green-Gold,’ ‘Linda,’ 'Fuerte' and '
Wurtz.'
Group 2: ‘
Winter-Mexican’ and ‘Winter-Mexican-Seedling (CTMIAMI).’
Group 3: ‘Don-Carlitos,’ ‘Vero-Beach’ and ‘Cellons’ Avocado.
Group 4: ‘San Miguel,’ ‘Kahaluu,’ ‘Malama,’ ‘
Murashige.’
Group 5: ‘Gwen,’ ‘Santa-Ana-Hass,’ ‘Lamb-Hass,’ ‘Sir-Prize,’ ‘Holiday.'
Group 6: ‘Nabal,’ ‘Queen’ ...
Thank you
Luisport for posting the photo of the 'Nabal' avocado that you are enjoying in Portugal, it looks like a very promising variety.
It's amazing that
CTMIAMI also has it here in South Florida, USA.
Nullzero, 'Sharwil,' 'Reed' and 'Nabal' seem to be excellent avocado choices.
A Note on Mango 24/7 Perhaps, it's worth it to concider that by crossing these varieties (below), the result could be the creation of a new quality variety(ies), that could fill the 'S. Florida Winter Mango Void.'
The mango varieties that border the 'S. Florida Mango Void' months of December, January and February are:
'Keitt:' fruit matures up to the month of
November (and possibly
December, if the tree is not fertilized),
'Miracle:' inconsistently can produce fruit from
December to
January; if the tree is given a few electrical jolts, could this positively affect production? (
sorry, couldn't resist),
'Rosy-Gold:' has produced fruit in
February for Forum Member mangomandan; it reliably produces fruit in early
March.
