Who still has avocados in January and what variety

[CTMIAMI]

Remember that once you get your Monroe to a decent size to get fruit in January you need to hold off on nitrogen

Correction - Talpeno Avocado
According to Noris Ledesma, talpeno avocado is from El Salvador, not from Puerto Rico.
Furthermore, I found out that talpeno was rated a 7 in a scale from 1 to 10, by a fruit expert in Homestead, Florida. 
My tree may produce fruits next year.  Let's see how talpeno will perform is SW Florida!

any updates on the quality of talpeno?  I noticed no comments on Carlos' blog in over a year?  Berto?

Thanks

Jeff,
Talpeno has performed  very well the last two years. The tree is very compact, and produces lots of delicious nutty flavored fruits.  Last year,  I started picking the fruits in  late  August.  In the first week of September, the neck of the fruits turned purple, just the neck, and the flavor improved considerably.  According to a friend that also grows Talpeno, his tree held fruits until November.  In my opinion, Talpeno is an excellent avocado for SW Florida.
I have shared a Talpeno tree with a lady from El Salvador.  She was extremely happy, and excited  when she found out that  I was growing this wonderful avocado variety here in SW Florida.
I am propagating Talpeno! Come to beautiful Fort Myers, and see it with your own eyes!
