looks excellent JF.

Is Carlos growing this already? It would be nice to know how it does in FL, and how it handles the cold.

I've distributed budwood to Miami it should be a winner, no problem. Seedling from Guantanamo Cuba breaded here in Orange California.

I have opened two pages ismael 1 and Ismael 2 both flowering as we speak and hopefully setting fruit

First year it got fruits? When was this? The fruits look delicious!

joaave · « **Reply #209 on:** April 27, 2015, 08:25:40 AM »

dont friend, the first fruiting was at 5 -6 years old of age, actually more than 15 years the tree.

Hanssen Red avocado. I when back to follow up, fruits have been ripening and coloring up....this is a 6-7 year old seedling from Oaxaca MX

ScottR · « **Reply #211 on:** May 02, 2015, 11:10:22 AM »

Frank, that looks like a nice Mexican variety please keep us informed on taste when you get a chance to try it, looks like a good one to get scion wood from!

Kimber avocado set a nice crop. Seems like a good producer for Dade County. The next question is maturity period

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #213 on:** May 16, 2015, 02:54:39 PM »

Carlos,
thanks for the update, it brings me joy to see you fruiting this tree in Dade Co!

CTMIAMI · « **Reply #214 on:** May 16, 2015, 03:25:39 PM »

Me too. So far the fruit looks very clean. This tree is in a section of my grove I call "scab paradise". Cant wait to see maturity time.

JF and I went to the location of this red/purple shiny avacado that happens to be a seedling of Hansen big red avacado. It fruited for the first time after 7 years and what a beauty it is. Taste test is upon us and will be done in next few weeks and if it turns out to be excellent we will propagate it later this summer. As its ripening now the color is turning to shiny dark red/purple on the tree. the new years crop is loaded so its a heavy producer as well.

This looks very nice. Please keep us posted. All those reds have a lot of west indies in them

Behl, the tree is an unkonown seedling from Oaxaca MX it's called Hansen Red avocado

JF, have you tested it? How is it?

I haven't had it yet. The owners have had a few ripen and they said it was excellent. I'm going to harvest 2 tomorrow for Behl and I to try before we go on vacation.

Carlos!

this is the first year (after about 3yrs of consistent fruiting) I have seen the Kimber refuse to flower!

maybe due to drought? or some other factor?

if it blooms late, I will let you know!

I see the tree you have is doing well! maybe the fruits will hold on the tree until Feb/March like they did for us this year in Central FL.

If they leave the fruit until they drop I wonder if it will even flower and set a new crop this year. That is the true measure for a late variety.

Carlos,

that's what happened last year...and the crop this year was just as big..if not bigger...nobody maintains the tree, or picks the fruits...they all fall...

Mr. Kimber is not the owner of the tree, he just lives near it.

JF · « **Reply #221 on:** June 30, 2015, 11:49:42 PM »

Seedling from Yucatan Mantequilla..
btw, Hansen Red turned out to be high quality avocado creamy and nutty Behl has a pic but I cant find it.

ScottR · « **Reply #222 on:** July 01, 2015, 11:24:28 AM »

Frank or Behl, what is this Hansen Red parentage as far as you know mexXguat or guatX?

FlyingFoxFruits · « **Reply #223 on:** July 01, 2015, 11:26:27 AM »

Some times later fruit trees will not flower specially if the fruit is left in the tree to drop. The tree needs tome to re-energize. Almost all late varieties do that.
