I totally forgot I grafted Krueger earlier in the year. I’ll check tomorrow to see if they took.

Thanks to you we have the seedless krueger in Belize now. Im guessing a member got it and brought scions here to graft. When I was there a month ago they were selling grafted trees. They only had 2 available. I snagged 1.

I was supposed to top the branch once the Krueger grafts took but I forgot about them. Now I will top the branch for more sun light. The 2 grafts are with green tapes.

The Krueger cuttings didn't work out for me unfortunately. It's been months, still no sign of life; the rootstock branch has dried out. The cuttings I received were super fresh and healthy, I think it was bad timing when I did the grafts. Temps were in the 20sF outside and I had to lug my plant in. However, I would love to have another go at it though.

Thanks for the tip Kaz. Please put me down for a cutting.

Sir Graftalot, maybe now is a good time for you to try again. Just make sure when you graft, use a brown paper bag for UV protection now that it is hot. The graft will grow fast if it takes. I have done many grafts last month and this month. All the grafts are growing really fast.

I even have that expensive Cannon Ball avocado scion grafted and it is now about 2 ft tall. Kinda a risk to pay so much for it, but now that it took I'm happy with my grafted Cannon Ball. Hope it fruits next year so I can compare the fruit with my Marcus Pumpkin grafted branches on the same tree.

My rootstock tree is by no means large. I think 1/3 of an inch sized diameter will do. Thanks again for sharing this find with the community, Kaz.

ok, you are on the list.

As I said, if you have a larger avocado tree, best to graft it on that one. Just tell me when you buy scions, what diameter you need to match the rootstock branch.

I wraped it up with incandescent Christmas lights and cover it with towel to keep it warm since my rootstock is outside.  The temperature dropped below freezing many times in February and March. I know it's no where near as cold as New York tho. But the little heat from the lights really help in my case.

I guess it's not all that easy, even for Florida growers.
