So I stopped by Atkins yesterday and found a dozen Sir Prize, plus a dozen each of several other varieties that one might only find in CRFG backyards.

So I am the happy owner of beautiful Sir Prize and Stewart avocados -- grafted and raised by Rudy at Atkins Nursery. This matched pair is a great companion to my other matched pair: Gwen and Sharwil. These are all on Zutano rootstock.

Now I am truly in avocado heaven with spring, summer, and fall bearing plants. I also plan to use these trees for scion wood. I intend to sell avocados in matched pairs and only solo by request.

For more information on selecting avocado trees, see the first section of Guide to Planting an Avocado Tree or Two


Richard,

It is always gratifying to find the golden fleece!

Congratulations!

John
