    The longer you can leave any avacado on the tree... the higher the oil content. love my Lula avacados

      If I have only one avocado I can get for my yard. What variety should it be. I’m looking for best tasting and oil content like hass.

    Here at my avocado grove in Puerto Rico we have 3 favorites (one for each season): Simmonds, Candelaria and Semil 34. That last one is the most incredible producer and has a very, very long season.Not sure how it behaves in FL.

    I just want to say that I bought a Choquette Avocado tree from Al's Fruit Trees in early May 2020, we planted the tree that same month and last summer (2022) this tree produced lots of flowers but it lost lots of flowers in the late Fall which I assumed because of the time of year. This tree produced anywhere from 30 to 40 Large Glossy Creamy avocados this past year, creamy and oily butter to the point my wife will eat it with Toast, not me. For those who like an early creamy avocado I recommend the Choquette, I bought it because Al recommended it due to where I live in Kendall. This past June I bought a Small Catalina Avocado tree in a 15 gallon cloth container again from Al's Fruit Trees, this one I transferred to a 25 Gallon last month and when it gets bigger, I'm goin to transfer to a 50 Gallon, keep it in the 50 gallon and hopefully sometime in 2024 I'll be eating some Catalina avocados. I also want to say I enjoy your videos and I'm subscribed to your channel.

    I love your videos. Thank you for all the information. I made a large spreadsheet, i would be happy to share it. Question. I want to plant An A and B. One for the in the ground and the other next to it in a container based on my backyard. I really love both the Simmons and the Broden. However, that is not giving me a late-season harvest. If i were to get both of these, which one would you put in the container and the other in the ground? How do you like the Holiday?

    I recently tried some Simmons from a grower in FL. There was a lot of meat, and they were in great shape, but the flavor was so boring(kinda sweet, but washed out flavor and not good for guac without a lot of dressing up). Previously I've pretty much only had Hass, so I need to try additional types and hopefully identify some others I like. How do you compare the flavor profile of a Simmons in comparison to a Hass? Thank you for all the videos!

    I heard Catalina taste great, but has a very short shelf life.

    I've heard good things about Simmonds, but it bothers me that it's a commercial variety for several reasons.

    My experience with Day has been very bad. Not because the fruit is bad, but because the tree has performed so poorly.
    I have 12 avocado trees, that all get pretty much identical treatment, and they’re all doing great EXCEPT for Day. It has been in the ground for almost two years and hasn’t grown an inch.
    Just like all my other avocados it is on a large mound so no root rot issues, it is on irrigation and gets watered regularly, it is in a sunny spot and gets plenty of light, it gets fertilizer on a regular schedule…and yet nothing. Not even a single new leaf in almost 2 years.
    I’m going to take it out and replace it with either a Nishikawa, Kampong or Dupuis, but I haven’t decided yet.

      Yes, the tree has no vigor, and the fruit ripens unevenly. I tasted some last season--no flavor. I wouldn't waste my time with Day. Not in the same class as all the other varieties mentioned. Almost everyone I know who had the tree ended up removing it, including myself.

      There’s three primary subspecies of avocado, Guatemalan, Mexican and West Indian (also known as Florida avocado). West Indian avocados are much larger but generally lower in oil. There’s also many hybrids of these varieties such as Guatemalan-West Indian, which have properties of both parents like large size (from West Indian ancestry) and higher oil content (from Guatemalan ancestry).
