Muy hermosos árboles, qué suerte que tenés que podés conseguir avocado HASS, acá en Argentina nadie los vende :(

me anoto en cualquier intercambio de semillas, me interesan los sapotes, ¿sabes qué resistencia a heladas tienen?

de los árboles que tenés, además de la pitanga y la feijoa ¿cuáles son los más resistentes a heladas?

Todas las árboles tropicales estan en la tierra al menos de un anno, el próximo invierno será lo primero... portanto vamos a ver que passará. El sapote blanco resiste a -6.5C... mas los otros resisten mal.  ;)

Hello Luisport,

A very nice collection you have! What's on your list of new species to want introduce to your garden?

That is very good. We have good neighbors too and this year our sons bought property adjoining ours. I feel so blessed.

I'm going to look up some of your trees that are new to me. Your apples and pears are awesome! Mine are not doing well but the peaches like it here.

Luis you would be surprised at how similar your setting looks to mine. I don't have a mountain view but there are big hills that look like mountains. (Florida actually calls them mountains) and landscape is similar

Increible! Hay miles, quizas millones, de arboles de Hass en Chile. No se porque no existirian en la Argentina?

I belive that this has similarities... or maby it's a memory of a past life here.  ;)
