Listing of all the avocado trees I have in Homestead, Florida. Also I will list information on propagation methods and research I do.
For your information: Since Hurricane Irma in 2017, very few updates have been done to these pages. Irma Flattened 60% of the grove. A Lot of the trees listed here have been lost. It took well over a year to get it back in some shape but Laurel wilt disease have continue to cause problems and more dead trees, consuming all my extra time. At some point I thought of taking the web pages down. Decided against that because there is useful information. Do not expect updates on the pages.

This web page started as a location to keep my own research, pictures, notes etc. Keep this in mind when you view these pages. Then, why not open it for all interested persons to see. Seems to have been a good idea, over 350 people visit these pages a day.
In this web pages I plan to build a page for every cultivar that I own showing pictures, available information and my own observations. At the present time I'm working with 45 + avocado cultivars from different parts, observing and documenting how they behave in South Florida.
Also I would like it to be a place where interested persons can find information on grafting techniques and general propagation information. If you have something to contribute by way of personal experience on any of the listed varieties or pictures please send them to me. My special interest is in early and very late fruit.
We are building a data base of information, specially on varieties that there is little information on, like Florida Hass Avocado, my most visited page. if you have something to contribute, please do. Use the contact form on this web. I do not send regular email but I will reply.
Visit my YouTube Channel for interesting grafting videos, product reviews and more.

I get a lot of mail from people asking questions about what variety to plant. There is an avocado special ops person that likes to grow outside of temperature boundaries, that is a hobby to some. To most, the best way to find out is to ask around or join forums like http://tropicalfruitforum.com/ were you can ask very nice people in the area what works for them. Same about bud wood, ask around to see who has what you need and is willing to share. You will be surprise how nice plant people are.
