Maria vs Maria Black Avocado
« on: March 25, 2024, 09:16:27 AM »
I was at my local garden store and they had some 3 gallon avocado trees labeled “Maria”. Not “Maria B”, but just “Maria”. I went ahead and pick one up assuming it was a Maria Black that I have heard a lot about; however, after getting it home and looking more into it, it seems there may actually be just a Maria avocado that is different from Maria Black. Everglades trees lists a Maria avocado that show as a vigorous grower, vs what I know of a Maria Black being a dwarf. I have space for it either way, so it’s going in the ground. I just want to know if there is actually a Maria and if that is what I got. I may go back and ask the place I purchased it and ask where they got the shipment of trees from

I would hope the grower (nursery) could clear up the confusion.

The maria black I have is a slow grower.

What color is the new growth?

It is a small 3 gallon, so it is the usual lime green. There really isn’t any new growth on it yet
