IMPORTANT READ BEFORE Make your Grafting Request Order
Spring Grafted Trees should be ready the following Fall. Deadline is May 01
Late Summer & Fall Grafted Trees should be ready the following Spring. Deadline is October 01
A Pre-Order Grafting Request is an order for us to produce the specific tree that we don't currently have available in stock. We must graft the tree and then it must go through a multi-month process to heal and grow. Only Once the small tree has completed two flushes of growth since it was grafted do we consider it ready to leave our nursery.

Day is thought to be a hybrid between Mexican and West Indian types.
It may have originated on the West coast of Florida.
This avocado is very productive, precocious, and one of our favorites to eat.
It has a buttery texture and rich nut-like flavor that will appeal to those who have a preference for avocados that come from California or Mexico.
The fruit are medium sized, turning a light green color with good flesh-to-seed ratio.
Day fruit can sometimes ripen unevenly but this problem seems to be ameliorated by leaving the fruit on the tree longer, and it does have an extended season. Because of its lineage, Day has good cold tolerance (possibly into the low 20s) and may be a good choice for people wanting to grow avocados in marginal areas for them due to temperature.
Day produces B-type flowers and typically matures its fruit from September through November.
