Poncho
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

Often spelled ?Pancho?, this avocado is a pure Mexican type from Texas, where it is considered ultra-cold hardy, reportedly surviving temperatures in the mid to low teens.
The tree has been a vigorous grower with small dark green leaves. It is an early season fruit maturing in summer from June through August.
The fruit are small and pear shaped, turning light green with some light red/purple blush at maturity.
The skin I quite thins and frequently forms cracks on the bottom and the earlier harvested fruit can have uneven ripening problems.
Properly ripened Poncho fruit are well flavored though and have good oil content.
The tree flowers early and produces B-type flowers.
