Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of avocado pollination, a subject that was just beginning to be explored in the early 20th century. The author, a plant physiologist, meticulously documents his findings on the avocado's unique flowering habits, drawing upon years of research conducted in both Florida and California. While the avocado's prolific flowering might seem to suggest a high degree of self-fertility, the author reveals a crucial insight: the avocado is actually designed for cross-pollination. He meticulously explains the avocado's intricate dual flowering process, which ensures that pollination rarely occurs within the same individual tree, and provides detailed information on how different avocado varieties bloom at different times of day. The author then lays out a practical framework for orchard planning, recommending mixed plantings of different varieties to optimize fruit production and address the avocado's often-unpredictable pollination dynamics. This book offers a glimpse into a previously under-explored aspect of avocado production, paving the way for future advancements in the cultivation of this beloved fruit.
