    Thanks for that bull. One more thing, what would be the best pollinator for that one?

    u can grow it without a type a avo and get fruit , if u want to grow a type a for cross pollination and get more fruit try wurtz it can handle the cooler coniditions no worries.

    i disagree paradox , sorry, hass seedlings are shit for cropping and they get many problems with root rot.

    Bit of a digression, but does anyone know what are good avo varieties for colder temperate climate?

    hey mushfun, this is a quote from my boss . from gardening australia interview a couple years ago

    For a cool climate where the temperature doesn't get below -8 to -10, there's only one choice and that's the Baconcultivar. It's an amazing variety. Its cold hardiness or the anti-freeze, is the anise, or aniseed which contributes to the frost tolerance, and it's a good indicator in an avocado cultivar.

    Cool, cheers for clearing that up for me bullit!

    So do you know if the hass offspring show a range of types like apples, or do they revert to some single crappier form?

    hey anodyne, yes they show a range of types, many show the same looks as the reed avo.

    So graft a Hass clone onto a seed-grown Hass stock you reckon, -that's genius!

    (or crazy)

    But prolly genius! :)

    u can , your better getting a few reed avo seeds for stock and grab bud wood of your mother hass/ sheperd plant for the graft.

    also hass seedlings are a shit stock plant because of dissease .

    u dont wanna grow seedlings for fruit ,mr daze they take fucken many years[ up to 15] to fruit..

    I have read totally contradictory information about this - some ppl say they're like apples, that they don't grow true to type & you may get a delicious avocado or you may get an inedible bitter block of wood. Others say this is a myth and they grow just fine from seed, so who bloody knows? Maybe it depends on the variety or something. Or maybe the first group are right & the second group are ppl who just ended up with a tree that resembled the parent by chance. The only person I've known who tried it used to just plant all his avocado seeds rather than composting them - I don't know if they were all true to form, but apparently he ended up with an orchard full of delicious avocadoes, so it may be worth a try if you have the time & space.

    I've heard avo's are susceptible to root diseases, so if you want something reliable it's probably best to go for a grafted tree of a known variety - you'll get fruit quicker too. But if you try growing from seeds I'd be very interested to hear the results - this question has been bugging me for a while now!

    hey anodyne, i work @ a huge avo wholesale nursery and the owner is world leading in avo clones and grafts. he has over 40 years experience .

    we grow over 20 thousand avo trees, the seed from a hass avo tree will not grow true to the fruit.

    edit this is for a hass seed
