🎥🥑 Avocado Talk with Ed – A Unique Grafting Project!

Ever seen two incredible avocado varieties growing together on one tree?

Ed recently grafted a Marcus Pumpkin Avocado onto a Gem Avocado rootstock, combining two outstanding varieties into a single tree. Grafting is a time-tested technique that allows growers to enjoy the benefits of multiple avocado varieties while taking advantage of the strong growth and productivity of an established tree.

The Marcus Pumpkin Avocado is known for its large fruit, rich flavor, and unique pumpkin-like shape, while the Gem Avocado is prized for its creamy texture, excellent production, and compact growth habit.

🌱 Why graft?
✔️ Preserve desirable fruit characteristics
✔️ Improve productivity
✔️ Make better use of garden space
✔️ Grow multiple varieties on one tree

Stop by and chat with Ed about avocado trees, grafting, and what varieties might be the perfect fit for your yard. There’s always something growing and something new to learn!

🥑✨ Feeling a little boujee? So is this avocado tree.

Ed has the gourmet Sharwil Avocado in stock! Often called the “Kona Sharwil,” this premium variety is prized for its rich, buttery texture, nutty flavor, and exceptionally high oil content. With a small seed and plenty of creamy flesh, it’s considered one of the finest tasting avocados in the world.

🌳 Why gardeners love the Sharwil:
• Produces medium to large fruit (8–16 oz)
• Smooth green skin that stays green when ripe
• Type B flower (pairs well with Type A varieties like Hass or Bacon for increased production)
• Harvest season typically runs from late winter through spring
• Upright growing tree reaching approximately 15–20 feet tall

☀️ Growing Tips:
• Thrives in full sun
• Prefers well-draining soil
• Water deeply when the top few inches of soil are dry
