Avocado - Rincon (Grafted)

Comments: -

Love all avo's. Is one of my "A" varieties. Is a dwarf variety with a spreading habit, and much slower grower than my others. The tree's not attractive - very gangly looking.  Fruit written off by some, but my family found it nice tasting - very creamy/buttery and mild flavour (maybe only has nice fruit where it's not too hot/humid or too cold). Fruit not a good storer once cut though, as the invisible strings darken. Best eaten within 24-48hrs. Don't discount this one for the backyard if you have limited space.

Note: Fruit ripe now (April-May) when there is none at any road-side stalls (Tamborine Mt.), so I'm happy!

This is apparently an Israeli cultivar. Fruit is thin skinned and a bit rubbery.  Taste is OK but is ideal for use in avocado dip. Our soil is not the best for avos but this one has survived were others have died.

Avocado - Bacon (B) (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - It was growing rapidly, even with our winter frosts, and the 45 degree heat didn't seem to bother it either, it grew 2 ft over winter and spring.but then the grasshoppers came out to play and ate the entire plant. nothing left but a  10cm stick! Doubtful it will come back. Any organic grasshopper solutions?
