I bought Brazos Bell from Lukas Nursery near Orlando (info available at hopkinstropicalfruitnursery.com) about 6 years ago. Planted in Titusville (inland). The tree went from 3 foot to 8 feet and is very healthy. This last frost was the worst, but didn't cause much damage to the tree. However, I get tons of fruit every year and still don't know what to do with all these small blackish purple avocados ......... they don't ripen. Even the squirrels don't eat them. I've tried different stages, but they are bitter and hard until they rot. The other green varieties have wonderful fruit. Have considered removing it, but it's so healthy I can't bring myself to do that without searching for an answer to the edibility problem. Any ideas?
