So I stopped by Atkins yesterday and found a dozen Sir Prize, plus a dozen each of several other varieties that one might only find in CRFG backyards.
So I am the happy owner of beautiful Sir Prize and Stewart avocados -- grafted and raised by Rudy at Atkins Nursery. This matched pair is a great companion to my other matched pair: Gwen and Sharwil. These are all on Zutano rootstock.
Now I am truly in avocado heaven with spring, summer, and fall bearing plants. I also plan to use these trees for scion wood. I intend to sell avocados in matched pairs and only solo by request.
