    Lovely ! These Avocados are the best. I love their taste and size, texture and color. I still cannot believe the Avocados in the store here, are the same size as the SEED from yours. I obviously do NOT live in Florida xD I will continue Ordering Avocados from you for life as long as you keep shipping them man !
    Just now Ordered some more Avocados - am a little late from the last shipment to keep them going this time. I need to look up the Winter behavior of Avocados will help me understand when your supply might run out or change in size or texture / taste. Thanks for Everything Tom. - Each Fruit I have ordered from you, I still have all the Seeds and am growing their roots in containers now, until they are large enough to plant in a pot. I hope you will offer the stems you ship, so I have a chance to try and Graft them into better tasting fruits.

      Is banana a herb or fruit?
      Banana plants are often mistaken for trees or palms - they are actually herbs. The banana is a perennial plant that replaces itself. Bananas do not grow from a seed but from a bulb or rhizome, and it takes 9 to 12 months from sowing a banana bulb to harvesting the fruit.
