Greetings, everyone! I used to have another account on here a few years ago, but I can't seem to get the password reset to work so I decided to create a new one instead.
My name is Winn, and I'm organizing a decentralized regional trial of allegedly cold-hardy avocado cultivars and their seedlings in the Pacific NW (anyone in zone 8b+ with an emphasis on western WA lowlands and coastal Olympic peninsula). I'll be distributing my first 30-40 trees in spring, and have been testing seedlings in my own yard for a couple years now. I'll post an announcement when the sign-up form goes live in the next couple weeks if anyone is interested in joining the project.
I also have an assortment of tropical and subtropical stuff in my greenhouse besides avocados, such as a Dwarf Cavendish banana, some mango seedlings, a few types of dragonfruit, and a few citrus trees.
Finally, I've got some temperate fruit trees and "hardy subtropicals" that I'm zone pushing outside alongside the avocados, such as some seeded bananas, various guava cousins, loquats, pawpaws, guabiju, ubajay.
