Sadly for them, this is what awaits most of them... this seedling of #Mexicola is going to need to regrow from its base yet again. You can see the first-year trunk in the center, and the three new trunks that replaced it last year. #No145
@MelodyWainscott they are mostly seedlings of allegedly cold-hardy cultivars like #DelRio, #Joey, and #Mexicola. There are also a handful of #Fuerte seedlings in this batch, which probably are not hardy enough for our project, but still hardier than some avocados.
The next-oldest tree is also a #Lula seedling (#No221), this one has a framework of #Choquette (first photo), with other grafts of #Aravaipa (green), #Duke (red), a #Mexicola seedling (#No53, purple), and #Linh (blue).
