Nimlioh avocado: a profile

[@kylediffusion9879]

Been waiting on this profile, thanks Greg. Keep it up my avoguru

[@growyourownavocados]

Very nice to see and hear more about such a rare variety!

[@gregalderdotcom]

I figured you would like it since your profile picture is of Jose Cabnal holding a Nimlioh!

​@@gregalderdotcomThanks! Read the journal but I missed that.

Thank you for the excellent audio/video quality. Really enjoyed the History/ commercial lineage of this fruit. It looks really good to eat from your video. I never new the Fuerte originated in Jalisco!🥑

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi Joe, It is good to eat. I must not have pronounced clearly: Fuerte is from Atlixco, not Jalisco.

Nimlioh finally ! So cool to see.

I discovered an old tree near LAX that produces fruit very similar to Nimlioh. At first I thought is was the same. I compared both foliage and they show different characteristics. The size is similar where my "Radio" is more round and has a thicker skin and a big seed. I'm still not convinced it is a unique cultivar. But thanks for sharing this video.

Excellent overview of the Nimlioh. Loved the historical comments about Wilson Popenoe. I like the comparisons to the other large avocados. I think the Nimlioh is a "B" type avocado as well. Do you know how tall and wide the Nimlioh tree can become without pruning? How do you like the Nabal compared to the Reed as far as taste & peeling? Where can I find that knife you're using? Thanks for the video!!

Beautiful

I live in La Habra Hts, and many of the streets are named after avocado varieties. The original haas tree was in. Town.

[@ocneal]

Do you grow any avocados for sale? Or your neighbors? I’d but Nabal or Fuerte.

[@Sam-mc2dk]

Hey Greg, Do you grow Nimlioh? It looks very similar to Nabal and Reed in size and characteristics. I liked Nabal but to me Reed tastes better but that is me. Thanks Greg for your video. I really enjoy your avocado videos.

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi Sam, I used to grow Nimlioh. I replaced it with another avocado variety. I wish I still had it, but I don't have enough space to keep them all. It is very similar to Reed and Nabal to me too, and I agree that Reed is the best of the three in every way (fruit and tree).

[@RareAvoTrees]

Interesting the cover is like cannonball avocado fruit but cannonball stays green when mature like Nabal,i wonder if thoses that ate cannonball avo fruit think its better than Nimlioh.

[@michael6869]

Do you have a recommended source for the Nimlioh?

[@gregalderdotcom]

Nimlioh trees are hard to come by, but sometimes they can be found at: Subtropica Nursery in Fallbrook, Atkins Nursery in Fallbrook, April plant sale of Orange County chapter of California Rare Fruit Growers. If you just want scions, look for source on Tropical Fruit Forum

[@macdaddynick1751]

Hi do you sell scions ? I’m in SoCal.

[@jamestnguyen2165]

great job Greg..know anyone who can sell me a nimlioh to taste?

[@gregalderdotcom]

Hi James, I don't. At least not this year. I bet I could find one for you next year though.

[@SVmathfarmer]

Grow the tree. The world needs more Nimlioh trees

[@raider1978raider]

Thanks Greg

[@geobioexploring]

Greg, I am curious if you know why this variety is named "Nimlioh", the word origin, meaning, historical context, etc. Same questions for Nabal.

[@gregalderdotcom]

Popenoe named this variety Nimlioh because it means "large avocado" in the local Kekchi language. It was one of the biggest avocados he found down in Guatemala.
