Little Cato dwarf avocado tree and new underground "shoots"

9 years ago

Hello,

I have a "Little Cato" tree that was hit very hard last winter by frost, I thought I'd lost it but the lower half of the tree is making a comeback. I've noticed a few new shoots coming from under the soil and can't tell if these are from below the graft line (I don't even know if there is a graft line on a Little Cato). Does anyone know if (and if so) what the Little Cato if grafted with. If these shoots are not part of the lower graft I'd like to separate and transplant for some additional trees. Thank you for your help!!

You would be better served if you posed your question over on either the Tropical Fruits Forum, or the Fruits & Orchards Forum. I would contact the store you purchased your tree at, and ask them who their supplier/grower is, and then send them an email. They will be able to tell you whether or not they graft their trees.
