Avocado tree named ‘SHSR-04’

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Avocado tree named ‘SHSR-04’ is disclosed. The new variety is characterized by forming greyed-purple colored young leaves, providing ovoid shaped fruit which is rounded at the stalk end, and exhibiting high resistance to Phytophthora root rot. The new variety is particularly well suited for use as rootstock for grafting other avocado cultivars, including ‘Hass’.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct Avocado tree characterized by the following combination of characteristics:
 (a) forms greyed-purple colored young leaves, 
 (b) provides ovoid shaped fruit which is rounded at the stalk end, and 
 (c) exhibits high resistance to  Phytophthora cinnamomi  root rot; 
 
       substantially as herein shown and described.
