During any month of the year California has the best avocados in the world. In this tasting JB wins the day Sir Prize was the most flavorful but less creamy

JF,

Nice tasting selection.
How would the JB have done against a Reed?

It would do very well. We ate missing my favorite winter/spring avocado Pinkerton have some that are ripening

Glad you describe how your Sir Prize taste, JF! My first 2 Sir Prize fruits I picked last Dec. didn't taste as good  (-little/no creamy and kind of bland-)  as compared to regular Hass type avocado from the market, I think I may have possibly tasting them about 1-2 days too early; but the fruits are bigger than the average Hass.
So, I guess I can hope the taste would improve as the tree gets more mature...

Frank, are JB avocado's 18 months to maturity? If not how long does yours hang? Questioning because I have my first fruit set on my JB from last year and wondering how long before I pick.
Nice pic's of your avo's your in the mother land of avo's for sure!

No Robert  more like 13 months. I have a small tree so the fruits I'm now eating didn't come from my yard. At my moms I have steward, Nimlioh, mantequilla, Sir Prize and Ismael.

Yours sir prize was picked premature you can start harvesting when they start to change color.It will get as creamy as a hass if you let it hang on the tree until April. I like it less creamy to highlight the nutty flavor but it will easy hang on the tree for 3-4 more months

Thanks for quick reply Frank!

Frank, I agree with you on Fuerte I love them mine are not quite ready a little behind last years start of harvest.
