Thanks for the assessment of the avocado taste comparisons and the history. You Florida avocado eaters are so fortunate to have 'varieties'. Are those varieties suited to grow in Florida's humid wet environment?
In Fiji now, we only have 'avocado pear'. Some are better than others, but no varietal distinction in the markets. I'm hoping to change that in a few years. I've grafted using a few of the best local trees. Haven't yet tested dry matter/oil content of any fruit, though.
