I wanted to share with you all that I have been growing a florida hass for I think 4 years now planted as a 7 or 15 gallon ...... I can't remember. Ist year nada 2nd year nada 3rd year got some fruit but they didn't ripen properly and I was bummed. I almost got mad at it a couple of months ago and cut it down but it had about 30 fruit on it so I decided to hold off. I was told to pick them in August but they just didn't look ready so I waited until this Saturday and picked a bunch of them and put them on the kitchen counter. One of the was ready today and I cut it open and was rewarded with a perfect colored and textured hass ...... Added a little drizzle of lime and a dusting of Tony Sacheries Cajun seasoning and gave it a try. It was not very different than a California ....... It had excellent hass like oil and taste and although I like florida avocados I definitely like the hass more which is why I planted this tree in the first place. I am very glad I gave this tree a third chance and now it could be one of my favorites!
