dorian, check out this video, she explains the difference between a normal avocado fruit and a cocktail avocado fruit on the tree.

But the real challenge for me is to find a avocado tree which only grows the small finger seedless avocado fruits. I think I did find a tree which only fruits the cocktail/finger size seedless avocado, and that tree is what I called the Seedless Krueger avocado (named for the owner's grand parents). So far it seems like the Krueger avocado is the first and only tree that I can find that fruits all seedless finger size avocado.
Hope this explains what I'm trying to find here.

Here's my update on the search as of 2-10-25:
1. Seedless Krueger cocktail avocado => YES, it's real, 100% seedless finger size fruits only on the entire tree.
2. My unknown Seedless (will name it later) cocktail avocado => YES, it's real, but very small fruits. If it grows more then I will share.
3. Fuerte#1 Seedless cocktail avocado branch => Maybe, only one large branch seems to fruit the seedless finger shaped fruits.
4. Fuerte#2 Seedless cocktail avocado tree => NO, this large tree gives fruits that are seedless cuke/finger size and normal size.
The first 3 above have potential to be a good one to graft.
No1 and No2 seems to be real.
No3 has one branch with seedless finger fruits so it will take a few years to see if a grafted tree will give 100% seedless fruits or not. I have already grafted some scions. Also making a small, grafted tree for the owner of the tree.
No4 has random cuke fruits hanging on the tree branches along with normal fruits on it. So this one is not worth grafting to get a true 100% seedless variety. I'm grafting a seedling tree with a branch from this tree for the tree owner, but will not share any scions, not worth growing.
I plan to go back to the tree No3 and take more photos to document the one large branch with the cuke, or seedless fruits. If it looks good, then I might share some scions (sell for owner) with our TFF members very soon this week since the owner is moving.
Summary: I have not found anyone else who sells seedless cocktail fruits or scions of their tree locally so that ends my search for now.
If anyone else has a seedless finger fruiting avocado tree, please post below any info on your tree. If you have found a tree (someone else's), also post info below and maybe I or someone may be able to get more details/fruits/scions from your find.

I wonder if the krueger avocado sets fruit without pollination? it seems to do its thing on its own :D (parthenocarpic fruit set)

The tree is growing in ground, and I did not see any other avocado tree nearby, but someone could have a small tree in a pot that I didn't see. The house has many other fruit trees, so bees do visit the tree when flowers bloom.
