If you want fruit of good quality then you will grow or buy a suitable rootstock and graft…"
Cramer NC Zn7 replied to Kay Zone9a/TX's discussion Propagating Avocados in the group Propagation"Kay, are you looking to produce avocados for consumption or do you just want a plant to look at and know it is an avocado?

Cramer NC Zn7 commented on Vickie Estep's group Propagation"Thea, I celebrated by seeding some lilium formosanum (Formosa Lilies) into little 4 in pots.

Cramer, I'm not a great friend to have cause I have my hand in too many pots of life, but you can be rewarded with surprise visits, I got rid of email messages, Love the dome, remember going by one when I lived in Canton, Illinois on the way to Havana in the 70's. I'm in awe of anybody that uses their God given talants.
