I have one backyard planting spot, next to a huge ficus tree... that gets half sun (noon to dusk) in the summer and more sun in the winter.I have two potted avocado trees - Lula and Brogdon - that I picked up at a plant sale. I have tried the Brogon and it was very good. I have not tried the Lula.Questions:1.) Will avocado trees do OK without morning sun?2.) Would you rather have Lula or Brogdon tree in your yard - and why?3.) I have heard some people say avocado trees must be planted in A / B flower pairs. Is this true? I have seen plenty of lone avocado trees bursting with fruits in my neighborhood.
The short answers are yes, yes and yes. I would plant them both in one hole.

Never considered it was possible.Just to confirm before I start digging... you are saying it is viable to dig a double wide hole and plant both trees next to each other... rootballs almost touching, trunks no more than 2' apart?
I have a Oro negro , Lula , Monroe , Beta , Choquete , Mexicola.All in trail , so far all took 1 night of 31f well.Wont get the Brogdon asper your review..Thanks Ed..
I am a big fan of Brogdon, very tasty though small fruit, tree is very vigorous and fairly cold tolerant, early fruit and great for guacamole.
