Joey
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Deadline for Spring 2023 Orders is September 30th/2022.
A 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.
Orders will be grafted later this year, and should be ready in the Spring or Summer /2023.
All the requests made after September 30th 2022 will be grafted this late spring, and it wouldn’t be ready until Fall, maybe October or November 2023

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.
Race: Mexican.
Flower type: A
Country: Texas - USA
