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 was a seedling of the ?Cook? cultivar planted on the property of David Fairchild in the early 1900s and is a B-type West Indian-Guatemalan hybrid.
It has the unique distinction of being one of the few varieties that can hold fruit into March.
The round/oval fruit has green skin and has a very nice, creamy hazelnut flavor, with a somewhat large seed.
Though not a commercial avocado due to poor flesh-seed ratio and scab problems, these issues shouldn?t have kept ?Kampong? from developing a backyard niche in south Florida, yet it has never been commonly propagated by nurseries.
Race: West Indian-Guatemalan hybrid..
Flower type: B
Country: Florida - USA
