What grows and fruits well in Hawaiian climate won't necessarily do so in California, and vice versa. For example, Hass does terribly here. Yes avocado grows wild in many of the wetter parts of Hawaii. Survived my first years here just foraging for avocados, papayas, breadfruit, passionfruits, guavas, all growing wild....till i could get my own trees growing.Hey Oscar what are your thoughts about finding Avocado seedlings that are growing and fruiting in elevation or in dryer climates. Do you think that these factors will help these Island avocados transfer to a good mainland avocados "southern California" in this case.
BTW, Sharwil is not a Hawaiian avocado. It's actually from Australia. But has become most commonly sold avocado here.
I sell scions of many of the Hawaiian avocados if you want to try grafting them there. Take a look at http://fruitlovers.com/Scions.html
Hey Erik, I think the Fullerton tree is G. Xanthochymus (at least it looks like it to me). If it is that species, then it would be an "Old world" Garcinia from Asia and not a "New world" Garcinia from our side of the world. Mark in Chula Vista has a large Imbe (G. Livingstonei) with a very nice graft of Luc's grafted onto it....Achacha could work in the same manner I suppose. Good luck!
Planted 4 from seed a few years ago. Slow growing. Some variability. One just started flowering.
