Grafting is a craft. An age-old craft that involves merging an existing plant to part of another to form a new one. In essence, merging good and better, to create greater. Increased harvests. Stronger resistance to disease. Superior fruit quality. Enhanced customer satisfaction. Infinitree adds not just to the avocado harvest numbers brought in, but also to the overall impact of the crop, all the way from farm to fork.
Grafting boasts a myriad of advantages over traditional methods like growing plants from cuttings or seeds. For us, this technique has been a game-changer in the world of Hass avocados. Increased yields and superior fruit quality are some of the notable benefits of grafting.
Moreover, it helps us to prolong our growing seasons and provides a strong defence against diseases that may affect our cherished avocado trees.
But it doesn’t stop there. Embracing grafting aligns seamlessly with our sustainability goals. It’s a critical piece of the puzzle in our quest to produce fresh avocados with reduced energy consumption and minimised chemical inputs. By preserving the age-old tradition of grafting, we not only preserve our avocado orchards but also contribute to a greener and healthier future for all.
