Update:
So i went to the Avocado grafting class at the RFVC of Broward and i grafted a Day/Brodgon tree. So if it takes then it has a spot in the yard.
Does anyone have info in "Red Russel", "VW Red" and "Big Red (Avocado)"?

Day and Brogdon have two different growth habits.  Not the best thing for cocktail trees...

I just took whatever bud wood was available as a early season. I bud grafted the brodgon so i don't have much hope for that taking.
Hopefully one of them takes though.

FWIW, all the red avocados I have had have been really watery, and often have a loose seed.  I know Lara's propagates a Hialeah Red that is supposedly good.

So is Day avocado a dwarf, compact, medium or large grower? 
Sorry to revive an old thread, but could not find much info on Day here or online. 
If it's so tasty and also cold hardy, then why is it kind of obscure?  Not like it's a new variety.

Fruit is fair, big seed, but then again I'm comparing it to rich high oil fruit like Reed or Gwen.  Tree is supposed to be medium to large.  I got some Day to try from here: https://www.riversendnursery.com/
