Fantastic/Pryor
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)
This avocado originated in Texas under the name ?Pryor?, (with ?Fantastic? being a name added by a nursery later on) and is reputed to be extremely cold hardy (down to 15 degrees F as a mature tree). It is a pure Mexican type, flowering as early as January and producing summer fruit here in south Florida.
The fruit is quite small, smooth light green and very thin skinned with a somewhat mild flavor and pale colored flesh, but good oil content.
Though capable of being productive, Fantastic hasn?t always ripened well for us and sometimes has issues with cracks developing in the skin as it matures.
The tree has been an aggressive grower, and It may be worth trialing in certain areas where avocados have been thought a little too cold-intolerant to be grown.
