Because of space, time, and water considerations, I'm trying to keep the number of larger bbs in pots to around 60. Becaues I keep trying new varieties, and liking them, I have to get rid of some. Also, since we've been having warmer winters lately, some varieties just aren't making grade in terms of winter chill hours. Usually anything more than 300 just doesnt' work that well here, or only marginally so. (zone 10, sunset 24 - the avocado belt)
So on the way out (after harvest), or at least some of them if there are multiples, are Star (doesn't set enough, plants don't do as well vegetatively as others.) Biloxi (fruits small, and unexciting), Abundance (average taste, not enough fruit set), Sharpeblue (fruits too variable and tend to be soft). And anything else that isn't looking really good.
What varieties have you culled?
