Joey Avocado
« on: February 26, 2013, 06:27:48 PM »
Has anyone tried a Joey Avocado or grown one here in Florida. They are said to be a really good eating avocado, and can take the cold real well.
I'm looking to plant another avocado for the fall season, August-November and want one of excellent eating, and can handle the Cold 24F.

I have a LuLa avocado plant right now.

Any suggestions?  Thanks, Joe.

Big difference between Pensacola and Homestead for variety recommendations. 24 degrees...where in Florida are you located?  I have heard the name Joey avocado but have not seen or tried it myself.
