From Wilson Seedless to Kahaluu (Top Working)

(1/4) > >>

Patrick:
Due to the three avocadoes over three year production rate I decided to experiment with topworking.. The budwood was from a Kahaluu, the original variety was Wilson Seedless.




For bulk pickup..



The grafts..

Ethan:
Yowza, you dont mess around!  Are the green spouts from the Wilson seedless or from the rootstock?

good luck,
-Ethan

The sprouts are from the Wilson Seedless.  If the scions look good in a few days I will knock them off!

Berto:
PJ,
Nice work!
My kahaluu is growing like a weed!  I hope it will fruit well here in southwest Florida.  Kahaluu is supposed to be one of the best avocados there is, as far as oil content and taste.  I read that in Hawaii, kahaluu is used in a sandwich instead of butter.
Nishikawa has adapted very well to southwest Florida...let's see if kahaluu will adapt also.

Cookie Monster:
Nice :-). Sometimes the bark grafts will fail because the tree will die back a couple of inches. But, judging by the vigor on that thing, you may get takes. If not, just side veneer the shoots and you'll get a near 100% rate of take.
