Florida or Hawaii cultivars would work for you. The question only is "how do you get them?" According to Luc everything there in Pto. Vallarta are seedlings.

Luc is right here there's only seedlings, I already secured a couple one is with a beautiful elegant long pear shape and ok flavor, and another very good oily flesh with a combination of green /black skin when ripe, this one falls from the tree when is time and doesn't bruises at all, about how to get the scions I'm trading with some forum members,
Dupuis is the best tasting early variety. The hybrids like Brogdon and Oro Negro would be worth a try. Maybe Catalina and Jose Antonio. Maybe you can set up some sort of informal review board and find the best seedling trees around your region. I bet you would discover some other really great fruits along the way.I am really interested in this species as well. This link is a pdf download.www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/6/1/99/pdf
I have info from experienced growers who swear by Hazzard and Rincon for hot tropical areas, Pinkerton too. Heck, I'll just shoot a photo of page one fer ya.Been to P. Vallarta, took trips into the jungles. I think the uplands would support most of the Cali. types. You may have to go with the typical W. Indies or hybrids with Guatemelan.

Raul, a Hawaiian variety that has grown well for me but not fruited yet is Malama one of taste test winners in Hawaii. Also has taken cold this year 30F for a week now and still looks great with just over head frost cloth! Looks like it's going to flower this year too!
Hey Raul. Oro Negro is growing nicely for me here South of Miami. I don't do much for it. Barely any mulch. Rarely fertilize, and it has grown thick bushy and green. Hoping for fruits this year. I can send some scions if you like.
