Hello, I currently have a Reed, which is type A. Do I need a type B avocado to set fruits? Should I plan a Marcus Pumpkin avocado, type B? Thank you
Today I had my first Sharwil and I was in complete heaven I have to believe this is the most ideal texture to any avocado. I also have green gold, yamagata and several other unnamed varieties that I have picked from trees off the road or are seedlings grow from someone's backyard and sold at farmers markets.
With all these excellent varieties on the island why do we California avocado guys not see them grown or sold?
Anyone like to take a guess on the chance of this being a Megalanthus cross? Red flesh fruit, no spikes, self pollinating. From Vietnam apparently.
Are images / photographs "implicitly" copyrighted, ie, if I upload a random picture from my camera to instagram with no claim of copyright, is it a violation of copyright law for someone to utilize it?
There a good video on Yang Mei and development in Fremont, CA. Lets Find Out Episode #17 Y. Chen
Back in the mid-90's, Sun World bought 120,000 3-gallon 'Keitt' mangos from Florida and planted them near the Salton Sea. I wonder how they are doing.
I've had the yellow Megalanthus fruits from different countries and I notised a slite difference in appearance and taste. One was sugar sweet with no other flavor and the other one had a sweet lemonade like flavor which I liked more. Had anyone else tasted one with the lemonade flavor?
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to cutting it back during the winter while dormant?

Thanks ricshaw,
Didn't know the skin was edible. So this looks like a new cultivar. Google knows nothing about it, Lol.
Brad,
Sorry I didn't think to take photos. The size and shape is like that of the smaller Haas that are sold "8 for $1" along Highway 152 in Gilroy, CA. Exterior is completely shiny, black, even when unripe. Color stayed the same after ripening. Interior is lush green like Haas. I've never heard of "Spencer", but the seller told me that name. It was sold at a Farmer's Market, by the folks at Murray Family Farms in Bakersfield.
anyone know which variety produce more fruits or maybe better taste or generally which you think its better
Kind of like that.
I'm not sure if this is necessarily the best way to do it, as there's only about 1 square inch in-between each slat. It would go well with the rest of the house though, and look a bit nicer (especially important as it's by my neighbor's front yard). What do you think?
FYI: The GEM Avocado was named after commercial Dragon Fruit grower Gray Martin. GEM is his initials.

Ricshaw, whats the patent or legalities surrounding propogation of gem avo trees? Any ideas? I would propogate some of these trees but don't want anyone kicking my door in at 3am or sending me a million dollar fine. Seems like a lot of people are asking for it.
