Hello Friends,

Spring is just over here and my avocado begins to flower.

As it is believed to be Fuerte, but nobody knows what it really is, and so
I intend to identify the species accorind to the sex modes and and flowering
time. That means if it is Fuerte, it flowers only in the afternoon of the first
flowring day and the mode of the sex is female. And then again it flowers in
the moring of the second day and the sex mode is male. It does not flower
in the afternoon of the same day.

The principle is simple, however, the actual identification is very much
difficult as everything does not show just accoring to reference books
and pictures.

Does anybody know the effective and clear methodes of identifying the
species?

Stan

Anyone who can help me!

This avocado has been believed as FUERTE",but recently I begin to doubt it
for some reasons. The flowering characteristics and timing do not seem to be
"B" group although it is quite difficult to classify which flower opened when of
what day etc.

Can anyone identify the species of the avocado from its leaf-shape, flower
shape etc.?

Thanks in advance.
