What is grafted plant

Q: What is a grafted plant?

Grafting is a method of vegetative (or asexual) propagation where a piece of one plant (scion) selected for its flowers or fruit and containing the desired genes to be duplicated is inserted into a piece of another plant (rootstock), with a strong vigorous root system, usually a seedling.

Benefits of the graft:

making a clone of the parent plant ensures the same cultivar, since most fruit trees will not come true to seed
taking a scion from a mature plant reduces time to flowering and fruiting (from 10-12 years for a seedling to 2-3 years or less for a grafted plant)
introducing dwarfing, hardiness, disease and pest resistance.
easier propagation method when other means like cutting or seed is not successful

The Hass (Haas) avocado is dark-colored with a rough and bumpy skin. Will turn black when ripe while other varieties remain green.
See avocado varieties chart. This is Florida Hass variety, which does well in hot and humid climate, unlike California Hass, which prefers dry climate
7 gal pot. This plant is grown in 7 gal pot, more mature than our standard size plants in 3 gal, has a more developed root system, and most of the time thicker trunk and more branches. However actual plant size may vary depending on the growing season and on variety. Dwarf varieties are slow growers and may be shorter trees than upright varieties. See a picture showing the relative size of plants grown in 3 gal and 7 gal.
You may contact us if tree height matters to you and we will provide you with more exact plant size we have in stock at the time. 7 gal plants may be shipped separately from other items by Ground service due to its large size. See here time in transit (business days, excluding Sat-Sun!)
