Is it the grafted avocadoe seedlings that are lucrative or the actual avocadoe fruits? I got some that take 18months to bear fruits. How many plants are you seeking & cost pp?.

@Correct

Which variety do you have?The ones I planted I was told were to take roughly over 24 months.Also whats the average yield per tree and the lifetime of the tree?

@Ktr

Ukikosa kabisa near Nairobi,I know a place in Nyeri with a guy who can sell you the grafted seedlings.The variety is Hass and he sells at around 150sh per seedling.He however takes his sweet time!
I just planted kitu 340 of them in Feb and April.....I would love to exchange ideas on the same and your findings since not many people are growing them or have the patience.

@ All. I bought some natural ones not grafted. They took about 5 years to bear fruits. The fruit is much bigger than grafted ones. However, if you want o export, then you have to go with grafted ones. I only got 3 plants for my house in Nairobi. Just enough for me and friends.

By the way how do avocados do at the coast. 2 nd row and coral !!!

Thanks

@MatataMingi, true.For consumption the larger Fuerte avocado is better.For export and oil extraction Hass is preferable.

@Alma & K22 poleni.Office work has kept me quite busy.

My old man in Nyeri says they will be ready for planting in March or latest April since the graft has to "shika" nicely. There are about 1,700 grafted ones right now.

Just email me dialmoviez@gmail.com will get back.
