IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01
Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01
A Pre-Order Grafting Request is an order for us to produce the specific tree that we don't currently have available in stock. We must graft the tree and then it must go through a multi-month process to heal and grow. Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

Joey is from Uvalde, Texas and was named for Joey Ricers.
It is a pure Mexican-type, and produces small, oval-shaped, shiny thin skinned fruit with a tiny seed. Reportedly the tree is high cold tolerant, with mature specimens surviving temperatures in the mid-teens.
The flesh is light green in color.
Though this avocado does produce well in Florida, the fruit has a very difficult time ripening properly here. In fact, it seems rare that we can get a Joey fruit to ripen evenly and may topwork the tree in the future.
It does have the distinction as being perhaps the earliest maturing avocado in Florida; we?ve harvested fruit as early as May on a number of occasions and even got April fruit once from a previous tree in Loxahatchee.
