Oscar,

I'm using rain water. May to too much fertilizer in the potting mix? May be I should use seed starting mix instead?

When my Marang plant start to have yellow leaves, I tried raise them in the garage with light full time, they all die eventually. I will upload picture of the plant and see if it's climate related or something else. The sad thing is, I bought a Marang plant from ebay, it got ship from Hawaii to FL, spent 5 days in the mail. When I receive the plant, it's perfect just like the picture in ebay, but after left it outdoor with night temp no lower than 65F, it die within 10 days. Which part of FL are you at? I can't imaging Marang growing more inland of FL since it's a lot colder in land.

Thank you all, I will report back on the progress late Spring and see how well is the Wurtz doing in our area.

From what I'm reading through out the forum, the "Wurtz" we have in Florida is different than everywhere else. For example, "Wurtz" is sold as "Little Cado" in California, but what we have is not "Little Cado". The Wurtz in Florida should taste similar to "Fuerte Avocado". Again, I'm not sure if Excalibur Frankenstein this avocado and label it as Wurtz because it's primarily Wurtz yet some how make it Type AB..... whatever that mean.

I have searched the forum and so far I haven't seen any result of Wurtz growing in FL, only see a bunch of recommendation to grow this variety.

Hi,

I have a 1.5 year old Wurtz Avocado that I bought from Excalibur and planted in ground since late 2016. I'm surprise it start to flower right now, and it's about 4-5 ft tall, I'm in Lake Worth area:




I wanted to ensure good pollination, so I look into and learn the Avocado flowers. I stopped by Excalibur last weekend, spoke with Richard and Mike, I was told their Wurtz is Type AB. They just tell me it's sell pollination and couldn't say much. I have been google and can't find any type AB Avocado reference.

Anyone know what to expect with this information? Like there will be male and female flower open at the same time in the morning or afternoon for pollination? This is the standard chart for Avacado:



Also, to increase pollination, I saw in youtube that people spray honey water on avocado flowers to attract bees/ant, one guy even put rosemary sprigs around the tree to attract bee. Can anyone confirm if any of these will work? I tried to use brush to hand pollinate but it's impossible as the flowers are so tiny, I knock a few flowers off the stem while brushing.

Thanks!

Moses

I received my Marang seeds from Lori, all everything is in great condition and the seeds are already germinated when I receive it. This is legit and I'm so glad there is no problem mailing it into Florida.
