Works great for me so far , more successful grafts than using my grafting knife , my knife skills suck !

Good luck with Carmen 👍🏼

I may go to FruitScapes and pick up a 7 Gal ORo Negro ..
Thanks Ed

I had the Holiday grafted. It tasted good, fruit size was on the larger size. Only drawback with Holiday is that all the branches weeps downwards so be careful about the branches getting sunburn. My fruit took 18 months for it to ripen. I got rid of it because of the branches always bending downwards.

My in-law has one in ground that is about 5 ft tall, 2yrs in ground (purchased in 5 gallon pot). Most of the branches stay low, bends downwards, but if you use stakes and let some of the newer branches grow upwards it might work. So far, as long as you cut off the skinny long branches and let the new growth that is upright grow then it might actually grow upwards like a normal tree. Most of the original branches were cut off since they would not grow upwards. Good luck with yours, fruit tastes good.

How do you know when the holiday avocados are ripe and ready to pick ?
Thanks Ed

Thanks will update on their progress 👍🏼

I live in SWFL , the trees came in from California in perfect condition 👍🏼

Awesome thank you !

Good setup for Marijuana

Haha yeah most of the stuff came with guides on growing marijuana lol

If the new cannabis law passes in 2024 Floridians will be able to grow upto 9 plants 👍🏼

Thank you !
I just ordered 1 Gwen & 1 Holiday avocado trees!
The price with shipping is very good !

Thanks Ed

Easier to use than a planer?

I’ll try it soon.

Super simple ! Great cuts all the time 👍🏼

Hello Members,
Been a very long time that I haven’t post , but still busy with my fruit trees 👍🏼
This is probably the best mango Season for my place .

I wanted to share this method im using to graft Mango & Avocado trees , my hand cuts are not upto par like most of you grafting experts .
So I used my wife veggie slicer for my Scions , makes a great perfect cut all the time for me .
So far it’s working for me better that making the V Cut by hand .

Thanks Ed
