The Story Behind Our Grafted Avocados
Each of our grafted avocados begins its journey long before you see it at the market. With over a decade of grafting experience, we start by selecting the right seeds—the foundation of a strong, resilient tree.
In our propagation chambers, every seed is carefully observed from the moment it sprouts. We watch how quickly it emerges, how vigorous it grows, and how deeply its taproot develops. The most vigorous seedlings are selected as rootstocks for our grafted trees, helping create deep-rooted, stable trees capable of finding their own water and standing strong against wind and drought.
Even the slower growers are not forgotten. We continue studying them for unique characteristics such as natural dwarfing, salt tolerance, and other traits that may prove valuable in Hawaiʻi's diverse growing conditions. Every seedling has something to teach us about resilience.
Once selected, our young rootstocks are nurtured in deep tree pots that allow the taproot to establish properly. When they reach the ideal stage, we graft them with locally adapted avocado varieties—combining strong roots with exceptional fruit.
Many customers are familiar with well-known Hawaiian avocado varieties such as Malama, Yamagata, Ota, and Sharwil. While some of the varieties we offer may not carry widely recognized names, they have been carefully selected from trees growing on Molokaʻi and neighboring islands. In many cases, these are unique genetic individuals that have demonstrated outstanding qualities such as flavor, productivity, fruit size, seasonality, tree vigor, or adaptation to local conditions.
It's important to remember that every famous avocado variety began as a single seedling tree that someone recognized as exceptional. We believe Hawaiʻi still holds many remarkable avocados waiting to be discovered, preserved, and shared with future generations.
The result is a tree built for island life—drought tolerant, wind firm, and ready to thrive in home gardens and orchards across Hawaiʻi, while helping preserve and expand the rich diversity of locally adapted avocado genetics.
