Relative flowering times for avocados?
« on: March 04, 2020, 10:46:22 AM »
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if I've had Choquette flowering since December and still in full bloom,  and Pollack just starting now, when might I expect flowers on Oro Negro and Kampong? Thanks!

I'm in Venezuela. I was asking about relative flowering times because no one else here has Kampong or Oro Negro.

Kampong usually flowers late here in West Palm like in later March or April. Oro Negro’s flowering typically mirrors that of Monroe and started already.

Thanks for the replies! I need relative flowering times, though. When do Choquette and Pollack flower for you guys?

Pollock flowers first (February), then Choquette (March, flowers coming out now)

You are more tropical than us in Florida but you seem to be higher in elevation. My Oro Negro is beginning to open flowers now.  Monroe starting opening about 10 days ago.

My Oro Negro is flowering now and the Kampong will open flowers soon. My Choquette is behind both of them. hahahahaha. How about that to add to the confusion.

Hi
My trees begin to bloom  in late September trough May
of course I spent a lot of  $ and time in fruit hunting. I have many my own cultivars.

Hmm. In general I've noticed with mango that our seasons seem to be about 3 months earlier than yours there, and that would be consistent with our Choquette flowering starting in December and Alex saying Choquette there starts now. Our Pollock is just starting now but that could be because it's a top work graft that's just a year old so it might be off its regular schedule. I also have a top worked Oro Negro bigger than the Pollock and a grafted Oro Negro in the ground 2 years that aren't showing any signs of flowering, which seems weird. Our Catalina planted the same time as the ON has a mixed bloom. The Kampong I have is a top work and shows no sign of flowering yet.
I wonder how much elevation affects season?

Our only super established tree is the Choquette which is enormous, so it may be the only one on a regular schedule.
