Hashimoto Avocado (Persea americana)
Guatemalan variety. Type B. Large spheroid fruit with a thick pebbly skin and a small seed. The fruit size is from 420gms to 730gms. The fruit is green when ripe.
Habit - Avocado trees form a thick canopy giving dense shade with it's large, dark green, leathery leaves.
Pollination - Light yellow/green flowers appear in abundance on the end of the branches in spring. 'B' Type flowering where the female part opens in the afternoon on the first day for 2 to 3 hours then closes. The male part opens the morning of the second day. Hence cross pollination of two varieties helps in the warmer climates.
In the cooler climates opening and closing of the flower tends to overlap therefore making them more self-fertile. Bees and flies are the pollinators. Cross pollination with Hass and Reed will improve fruit set.
Harvest - Winter harvest
Most of the grafted Avocadoes plant will start flowering as early as 18 months when planted on the ground or in a planter box and given the right condition and care.
Plant Care
Really happy with my two avocado trees (Hashimoto & Hass) . Strong plants and are already flowering a few weeks after I bought it.
Will buy from Exotica again in the future. Thanks
