IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
We are only able to graft twice a year, Late Spring & Late Summer.
- If we receive the order between after September 24th and before May 1st, The trees will be grafted in Spring & should be ready by the end of the year.
- For orders made after May 01st and before of September 24th will be grafted in late Summer and should be ready in the Spring following year, May most likely.
Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.
(Estimated time is 6 to 8 months. Some varieties take longer time to growth)
Day is thought to be a hybrid between Mexican and West Indian types.
It may have originated on the West coast of Florida.
This avocado is very productive, precocious, and one of our favorites to eat.
It has a buttery texture and rich nut-like flavor that will appeal to those who have a preference for avocados that come from California or Mexico.
The fruit are medium sized, turning a light green color with good flesh-to-seed ratio.
Day fruit can sometimes ripen unevenly but this problem seems to be ameliorated by leaving the fruit on the tree longer, and it does have an extended season. Because of its lineage, Day has good cold tolerance (possibly into the low 20s) and may be a good choice for people wanting to grow avocados in marginal areas for them due to temperature.
Day produces B-type flowers and typically matures its fruit from September through November.
