Super Waldin Avocado 8125 Dry weight 16.54%
September 15, 2020. This Super Waldin was the first to catch my attention about a month ago. Since them I have removed some fruit , planted some seeds and done some testing.
This particular tree actually killed, out grew, what ever term fits, the grafted portion of the tree. The tree is huge it is next to a Berta Rodriguez tree and the branch that got the most fruit is the branch actually growing into the Berta R. tree.
The particular characteristics are as follows:
The fruit: Dry weight is 16.54. Taste of the fruit is acceptable, a bit on the soft side, consistent with summer fruit. The exterior skin looks unusual, is not appealing. The seed sits inside the cavity with a lot of space in the cavity, Creating a smaller seed about 48 mm (need to do more sampling) average fruit weight is 21 oz, with seed weight average of 2.2 oz., with roots coming out of the seed.
Relatively clean and disease resistant. The fruit presents clean, in and out, the tree is in a minimal spray area.
Overall impression: Not sure. The tree only set fruit in one side of the tree, the visual and taste of the fruit is nothing special, I feel I will need to give this tree another year and hope I can do some testing with its seedlings to see if the offer something special as root stock.
