Hi, this question is for Mark, Your Sharwil is inside a greenhouse right?

It might not be ripe yet. Some avocados can stay on the tree a very long time before getting ripe enough to pick. You could ask Carlos for his opinion, he has an avocado orchard in Florida and has been trying new variety's for years now.

Thanks for clearing that up for me . At my age I get confused  a lot more easily

Hi,It's that time of year again, ( time to start begging, for scions).  I am looking for Sharwil, Carmen Hass, And the Ibis avocado I heard about on another forum. I am wanting to purchase these scions.
Thank you.

Hi, looking for Sharwil ( also called Kona Sharwil), Carmin Hass and Reed.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post

Hi, I am looking for some of the "Duke" avocado seeds and or fruit. The Chaffin Family fruit orchard has them for sale now. They sell them at Chico Farmers Market – Saturdays year round; Wednesday mornings 7:30 – noon, North Valley Plaza. They also have a website http://www.chaffinfamilyorchards.com/where-to-buy/
If anyone is going to the farmers market and picking any of these up i would be happy to pay for a few fruit or seeds from them.
Thank you.

Hi, it could be to much direct sunlight hitting the unprotected areas of the branch, if there are not enough leaves to shade it.

Although I could order one grafted on-line, the heat is already starting here and I'm afraid the grafted plant wouldn't survive the trip. I've lost several fruit trees that way. I thought mangoes came true from seed? I think I read that in this forum but I've never grown one before. The types they have locally are larger varieties and I want the Pickering because of size. It should be easy for me to keep it in a pot and bring it inside during the cold weather.

Sadly disappointed with the gold nugget sold at my local grocer here in Texas. Perhaps they were picked early by (Sunkist) and stayed in a cooler before arriving here in Texas. I have read so many wonderful reviews about them and payed top dollar for the fruit here. Is there a difference between the ones I've read about on-line and the ones sold by Sunkist?

If a little caddo, (wurtz) is a true dwarf could you use it as a rootstock and graft to it in order to dwarf other varieties? I don't know how well it would do as a rootstock, salt tolerance, root-rot , etc. Perhaps you could use it between a clonal rootstock and another type grafted to it? Has anyone tried it?Let me know. I might try it myself.

I have heard good things about the Gold Nugget mandarin. It is supposed to have a great flavor and a late season with a long hang time. From what I've read it will extend your citrus season.
Have fun.

My best chance for obtaining one is from an individual, (preferable within the state). They would have gotten it before the ban or moved here with it. From what I've been told any state other than California and Florida can ship me one. I don't think scions are included in the restrictions, but I could be wrong. I would be willing to graft scions, if I can get them. I have a old dancy that has never really produced, (good tasting fruit). I have several other citrus trees I bought home from a trip to Disney in Florida about twenty years ago, before all the bans started, that have done well and produce good fruit every year.

Hi, I would like to get one of these, however no one seems to carry them in my area. If anyone knows where I can get one, or has one they could sell me I would appreciate it. I will also take scions if anyone has any, I will graft it to a local variety.
Thank you.
