when you google it, this picture will shown.. anyone know what variety is that?it said that found by some resident on Kealakekua hawaii..thanks
It's fun to know about these giant cados.....but what about the quality of the fruit? Taste, oil density, consistency?
holy crap!! 12 ponds is a monster, what vartety that can reach that gigantic size?here in Indonesia, the heaviest avocado that taste well is "marcus pumpkin" ,its can reach about 7 ponds of weight
Hmm, I have a Marcus Pumpkin I just found and bought. Maybe I'll eliminate all but one or two fruits after it gets established to try and grow a giant.
Marcus Pumpkin is an average Florida “West Indian hybrid” avocado flavor.
Are there aome comparable (in tasteto hass) giant smooth skinned varieties. The ones here are huge but tasteless. Ok for drinks and processing but pretty bland. They seem quite similar to the Hawaiian ones which is likely where much of taiwans genetkcs were sourced.
I agree with Oscar the big Island is vast with huge selection seedling avocados with a lot of potential.You need to live their for extensive period for evaluation .Oscar how about looking for some on the wet side of the Island that might be suited for florida.
