Lila Avocado. I ordered 3 Lila Avocado seeds from Ebay. They were sent to me from the USA. Quality was very good and the size and shape of the seeds seems to correspond with pictures of lila avocadoes/seeds. Lila is supposed to be very cold-hardy and only grows 10 to 15 feet tall. Whether trees grown from these seeds also only grow 10 to 15 feet tall is not sure and remains to be seen. Also general fruit quality, size and taste when grown from seed might be very different too. I hope i will manage to grow them and try them out.
Avocadoes. I am trying to grow avocadoes in my polytunnel and outdoors. I managed to obtain Del Rio avocado seeds and 5 seedlings are growing under plastic. They survived the winter but the smaller ones suffered more than the larger ones so i wonder if it's the seedlings size or if some are hardier. This is the biggest and also the best looking Del Rio seedling after the winter. It had the least leaf damage. One of the two small seedlings that both suffered most damage. And the second small one. Then there is two medium sized ones They both look pretty good so i am asking myself if the size determines hardiness or if hardiness determines size. In other words, has the largest of the 5 seedlings the least leaf damage because it's larger, (and then the other ones could be the same when they get bigger) or did its inherited frost resistance help it along all the w...
