I miscounted (trying to make myself think I'm younger) the tree is 46 years old.
This house will be for sale soon so this will be the last time I eat from that tree.. :(
I'm saving the seeds to plant at my next home (if I stay in FL)but as long as the little trees take to mature ...

    That's an idea, OBG. But frankly with all the baggage attached to this place
    when I split I don't even want to drive down the street...

    This is another idea:
    {Avocados can be propagated by planting seeds, rooting avocado cuttings, layering and grafting. Avocados do not produce true to the seed. Avocado propagating by cuttings is a more certain method, as propagating a new tree from avocado tree cuttings results in a clone of the parent tree}

    So far they have reproduced true to seed but cloning would be a much better
    and faster alternative than planting seed (or bugging the new proprietors )

    current update (just moving the list forward) Updated status,, but they may have spotty electric/cell/isp service so dont worry if communications is difficult for them.

    Below is our Irma impacted list. If you would like to have your status updated that would be great for others looking out for you. Lets treat it like a report card,,,

    A= good shape just a little clean up
    B=minor damage/repairs needed
    C=more than minor repairs
    D= major repairs need
    F= total loss, may need help
    OK= ok, and you want to leave it at that

    Of course you dont have to rate yourself until later.

    Its quite possible you wont find your damage/needs until later. I dont want to assign a status to anyone,,so I leave that to you.

    If someone needs help they can email of course to see what can be done to assist you. I know that I have some vape related items I can send you if need be. I moved some of the names up to the top of the list.

    @tazzle @kross8 luckily I want effected living here in East NC. Peak wind gusts here were only about 24mph from the NNE. My prayers are with the people, families, and members that were in the direct path of Irma.
