Our little avocado (still yet unnamed, although not due to any paucity of suggestions) is coming along quite nicely. The root is now at an estimated 2 cm and is covered with some odd-looking fuzz. I'm sure that's a good sign. However, I was taken aback when I came upon this statement in that abominable, leftist propaganda publication, wikipedia:
"While an avocado propagated by seed can bear fruit, it will take 4-6 years to do so, and the offspring is unlikely to resemble the parent cultivar in fruit quality. Thus, commercial orchards are planted using grafted trees and rootstocks."
We will not be moved! We are determined that our little still-yet-unnamed avocado will flourish and will fulfill the long, proud tradition of its ancestry - that is, to provide us with batches upon batches of guacamole. Please keep our little unnamed friend in your thoughts and prayers.
