Abstract: ‘BL516’ is a new and distinct variety of Persea americana tree. The variety exhibits an upright growth habit with strongly drooping branches; and forms pyriform, slightly obovate or occasionally rhomboidal shaped generally black-skinned fruit when ripe that lack shoulders and is well distributed around the tree. The fruit is comparable in size to that of the ‘Hass’ variety and matures slightly later then the fruit of the ‘Hass’ variety. ‘BL516’ fruit has yellow-green flesh of excellent eating quality that is free of obvious fibers. The ‘BL516’ variety forms leaves in greater quantity than the ‘Hass’ variety and displays moderate resistance to the Persea mite.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Avocado tree named ‘SHSR-04’ is disclosed. The new variety is characterized by forming greyed-purple colored young leaves, providing ovoid shaped fruit which is rounded at the stalk end, and exhibiting high resistance to Phytophthora root rot. The new variety is particularly well suited for use as rootstock for grafting other avocado cultivars, including ‘Hass’.

The leaves are displayed in a similar quantity to ‘Hass’ and are similar in shape to those of the ‘Lamb Hass’ variety. ‘BL 5-552’ has moderate resistance to Persea mites. The variety is suitable for the production of quality avocado crop under commercial growing conditions.

Abstract: A new avocado variety called ‘Pflum's Best’ that displays an early fruiting season, precocity, vigorous growth, tolerance to wet soil, and large maroon fruit. The variety is also selected for its resistance and tolerance to common avocado diseases and various insects. Additionally, ‘Pflum's Best’ bears fruit earlier, by one to three years, than its male parent ‘Brogdon’ and female parent ‘Choquette.’ The characteristic maroon skin of the fruit of ‘Pflum's Best’ has a subtle texture and may be somewhat mottled with a light green color, and the flesh has an exceptionally delicious taste that is buttery and nutty. The fruit of ‘Pflum's Best’ is approximately 6-11 inches in length, 4.5 inches in diameter, and approximately 25 ounces when ripe.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Persea americana tree having a high tolerance under most conditions to Phytophthora cinnamomi when used as a rootstock. However, it is severely damaged by salt and is not recommended for locations where salt is a problem. This variety does not yield well under non-root rot conditions in comparison to similar varieties, making it desirable for replant situations where root rot infested soils are a problem.
