Fred - Congrats on your cado - my grafted cado, unfortunately, didn't take.
You must be doing something right..
The variety is named Mrs. Holland after the owner of the original tree somewhere in Texas. The fruit is on the small side (definitely not worthy of the Parton name

but the tree is said to be very cold hardy.

Snookie I'm glad your Mrs. Holland is doing well. You should be able to plant it out next spring.

TJ what happened to yours. Did the whole seedling die?

The grafted seedling is thriving and the Mrs. Holland seedling is doing great also but neither the T or cleft graft survived. - Maybe Skeeter will be willing to try again or share some wood?
I have one Duke seed so far that has sent up a sprout.
Need to find out Snookies secret to success..
