Tropical Fruit Discussion / Re: Dupuis Avocado Trees - "As cold hardy as Mango Trees" .....Really?
« on: November 17, 2019, 03:27:48 PM »I love Dupuis, keep in mind not a great producer. Needs a pollinator that "It likes" A long juvenile period, even if grafted. It is 100% West indies It will be susceptible to cold. A Simonds will be a good alternative.
Carlos would you agree that Dupuis (Catalina also) will do okay anywhere mangoes do okay? I have no problems with Mangoes here in 9B. Have plenty of cado trees I'm mostly interested on flavor....production less important.
So do you think I can grow Dupuis and/or Catalina? I am located in 9B about 7-8 miles from the Gulf. I had ruled these varieties out till now. Thanks.
