Wish I could help.  I lost my entire collection to a greenhouse heater failure.

FWIW of all my 7 or so varieties of avocados Gwen was a true dwarf.  More like a runt.  If you get no response here you can order from Dr. Arpaia's group.  I've received about 3 shipments. Here's the contact info:

Hi Mark

Sorry to hear about your heater and the collection. My trees are all in pots so they are all runts right now (although my Pinkerton and sir prize are the least runty of the group). Send me a pm if you need anything. I may be able to snag some wood off of them. They’re going on the ground this spring (I hope).

Thanks.  Never knew I had so many friends.  I grafted a Pinkerton, Sir Prize, Holiday, and Ardith last year and had some really nice fruit this year.  I let 7 Sir Prize hold, few Holiday, etc.  Of course that tree is toast.  It was in a bottomless RootBuilder pot.

The Pinkerton was the runt, Sir Prize.... quite a beast.  Holiday I pulled off the dead tree yesterday was huge.

Sir Prize fruit:
