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)
Ronny (sometimes spelled Ronnie) is a black-skinned avocado from Homestead, FL that matures late (often into March) whose appeal to US growers is supposedly lessened by the amount of Dominican avocados entering the American market during this time period.
It is probably a complex hybrid but its parentage was unreported.
The fruit are oval-round, turning black before maturity and are medium-to-large sized. The flesh is yellow with medium oil content and very good flavor. Unfortunately, our Ronny fruit have had tremendous issues with uneven ripening, to the point that they will drop off the tree and still not ripen correctly. Harvesting at varying stages has not been able to fix the problem.
