PERMABREED

 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 way and that's why it's the best one in shape? In any case here is a picture of

 Mirabelle plum seedlings after the winter. They survived frost that killed all my cherry seedlings. Now i continue to be interested in whether i will get good fruiting trees from this mass sowing. There is about two hundred of them. My plan is to plant them very close in rows and have the rows make hedges. Then by maintenance the place where new varieties were selected can be transformed into a productive fruit giving wall of plums. So far the idea anyway. When you take a closer look diversity can be seen in the seedlings appearances.
