The Tropical Fruit Forum

Nice review of the Krueger, thank you. I saw the entire video Rain, good taste comparison with Hass and SlimCado.

I agree with you about the Krueger, I like it, tastes like a Hass/Reed to me.

History/background:

Since finding a person who has a large Seedless Cocktail Finger avocado this month, I got interested again to see if there many people who has such a tree that has seedless cocktail fruits on it.

Well, so far, the most impressive tree I found was the Seedless Krueger cocktail avocado tree. I have spoken with the person who owns the tree and now helping him promote the variety he has. I have not really found any other seedless cocktail tree/plants growing or on sale that actually gave me similar fruits, so I wanted to share the Krueger with all our TFF avocado collectors.

In this post, I wanted to list some of the other claimed seedless cocktail avocado fruits that I found on my search for it recently again. I have been looking for this type of tree for over 5 years when I saw some of those photos people show on YouTube videos and purchase multiple varieties from online nurseries such as the Wilson Seedless, Tyson Seedless, unnamed Seedless plants that were still small, grafted on a 1-2yr old avocado seedling. If the tree has only a small amount of random cuke fruits on the tree hanging with other normal size fruits, then I don't consider it a significant tree that can produce consistently these cukes fruits repeatedly and will not mention it here on the list.

I will now list what I have found so far of these types below and as I get some photos of the actual fruits or photos of the fruits hanging from the tree, I will add to this post. Also, if anyone else has them growing, it would be nice to see your fruit photo showing it hanging from your tree, so we know it is a real fruit tree, not some photos taken from the internet (not verified as real).

I will not disclose the location of these trees, so the tree owners don't get hassled about selling cuttings or fruits from random people who heard about it.

Later tonight, I will show the photos of each cocktail fruits I found so far, then try to do a side-by-side comparison where possible so we can see how they compare. Here's the list so far.

1. Seedless Krueger cocktail avocado
2. My unknown Seedless (will name it later) cocktail avocado
3. Fuerte#1 Seedless cocktail avocado branch
4. Fuerte#2 Seedless cocktail avocado tree

There are many more, but I will only show the ones that I have personally got fruits from that tree and have photo evidence of its existence. So I will not show the other named varieties sold from online nurseries where we (forum members) don't have anyone that has a fruiting tree. I will show some trees I have purchased from some nurseries to show the size and cost of it in case anyone is looking to buy one. This will give you an idea of the cost for a grafted tree.

=============================================================================
Once we get this list updated with trees our TFF members are growing and fruiting, we can discuss how productive and true each variety is, and the taste review to allow others to decide if they like it and want to get some scions to graft onto their trees.
=============================================================================

I have the first three on my list above, and will be checking out the tree#4 today and hope it has more than just a few cukes growing on the tree.

 

Congrats  Rob !

The person who was first to get the correct winning team is Rob. I will send you a message and tell me what you like.

====== UPPDATE=========

1) If anyone else wants to buy some scion wood of the Krueger, send me a message or post below that you're interested.
     I can go ask the owner for more cuttings if I need it. He was surprised and happy with the cash I gave him for the cuttings that I sold this week.

2) I have another news on cuke avocado fruits I found. My dumb luck, I went to see an open house for sale. The person had some fruit trees in the back and one of them was a large avocado tree. This tree had a few normal size Fuerte type fruits. I asked if I can take a fruit, then I saw one large branch of the tree with all cukes (wow), so I got some of those fruits. When I mentioned to the house owner that the branch with the cuke might be a good one to save, she said take cuttings if I want it. So, if anyone else would like this Fuerte tree cuke scion wood cuttings then check out my new For Sale I will start for Monday. As most people know, cukes are very common on some Fuerte trees, but the tree never has all cuke/cocktail fruits at one time, they are random and only 5-10% may be these smaller seedless fruits. But since this tree seems to have the cuke only on the one branch I took cuttings, it might be reproducible by grafting. You can check out the new post I will have on it. I'll call it Fuerte cukes.

> I will also show you the side by side fruit photo comparison of the Krueger and the Fuerte cuke fruits.

=======================

I sent you a message, would like to buy some scions.

NO MORE ENTRIES BELOW THIS POST.

===================================
Lets see who the winners are
===================================

Oh no, is that Pokemon go in the background. Reminds me of the fun times we had before I broke my knee..

Dan, just checked my mailing address database, and my PM messages, you are not on either one.

Seed sale is now over.

Maybe if I can get more fruits in the summer.

Oh no, you haven't seen my yard, front and back, completely full of fruit trees in ground and hundreds in pots..

This is a Reminder for anyone who knows me and have my email or phone number(text). Please don't send me a text or email asking to buy these fruits or cuttings. I don't have time to look there to see if people are trying to order it.

Just send me a message here (PM) just like everyone else so I can easily track who ordered and what I have left to ship out, thanks.

Wow that was quick. Make sure you only eat the fruits that are ripe, should give when you squeeze it. If it is hard to cut or eat then it is probably still green and will not have any taste. Inside color should be dark yellow when it is ripe..
